No, we cannot call Season 37 very successful, nor could we call it bad either. It was just a normal season, only 32 points less than less season. Greatest result was the 4th place of Alfons van Steensel in Volta ao Porto, where he also managed to win a stage. The rest of the season, we only got three more results; for the rest it were only 'other' Top 9's.
We planned on starting the training of Roan Wesseling. We did, but then our scout found us the greatest talent we've ever seen in our team. Therefore, Roan and Ernst will be sold both to finance the training of the (hopefully) great Henk Houtman.

Goals and Future plans for Season 38
In the beginning of the season, our team will be reshaped. Ernst Witting will sign with Brigata, while Roan Wesseling is still looking for another team. He will be sold for sure though. On Day 1, we then will attract Henk Houtman, our next superstar. Rumours go that the team might also attract a cheap Hill Teammate for Bohdan, which might be one of the riders of iheb pro team.
Furthermore, we will try to sign up for Ainet - Bruggen and Volta ao Porto, to hopefully win either a trophy or get in the Top-9 for a second time in a row. For the rest of the season, we don't expect to get over our points record, for we will mainly be focusing on the training of Henk.
