While hoping to stay in Zyte Division this season, we found ourselves in Top Division quite regularly. That came a bit unexpected, but that's of course no problem at all! Three tour top-9's once again were obtained, with Rupert showing once again that he must be able to win Volta ao Porto one day. Furthermore, we got our first top-9 in Cymru Taith and our first result in a Top Division Classic (Critérium la Provence, 5th) with Henk Houtman, who also won a stage in Vuelta a Valparaìso. No real outliers, but we are happy for sure with this solid season!
Son Marko unfortunately maxed at an average of 45, making him just not good enough to be our future captain in HL-races. Carsten though is in training still, and he's starting to look nice for sure.
Oh, and I only realise by now that Rupert managed to become the best Swiss rider of this season, scoring only 12 points more than his next competitor Florian Zechner. A great achievement, and we're for sure aiming to repeat this the coming season!

Goals and Future Plans Season 45:
I'll probably finally manage to get Rupert in TF in Volta ao Porto. After finishing 3rd twice without TF, I'm now only aiming for the win. For the rest of the season, I don't think we'll stay in Top Division, as a very busy few months are coming up, spending to much time away to be very active. We'll see though where it all ends up, who knows what kind of nice races will come along.
Furthermore, Carsten will be trained till his max. He's currently training FR, so let's see where he'll end up. We will keep an eye out on nice riders to strengthen both the Hill and Climbing branch, as Bohdan is getting old slowly, and I'd also like to have a slightly bigger climbing team, as having only 6 riders is not really enough.
