After having read the previous recap of season 56 we can be slightly satisfied with the results in season 58. We have to accept that we don't have real top notch riders in any disciplines, besides Yvan Naets in the hill compartment. But we do have multiple riders who can deliver results or top-9's in various disciplines.
Yvan Naets is 31 years old and he remains our only real weapon on hilly terrain. He couldn't win, but three other results and four other top-9 results is fair enough. Eric Roockeloes got trained well and he could become a secondary asset in getting results in the discipline of the hills.
Our club was known for having good sprinters, but that has changed. Eddy Pelsmaeckers, Wannes Verbeeck and Tom Bollaert each got a result and newly trained LO2 Baird Twitty was given two caps for his country Ireland, but they are all not real captains to get big results with. We sold good old Jeremy Paschiers who delivered us two top-9's in SP-races with a big focus on FR and where TQ was not that important.
Our average CB-compartment did not too bad: pave pacers Tibau Verlie en Theo Bormans each got a result and Ilya Talanov and Keith Rawlinson got us one (Bormans) and two (Rawlinson) top-9' results.
We are happy to see that our still not big climbing talents are starting to get some top-9's finally. Karl De Weijgaert looks like he is going to be our biggest asset so: he got us two small results in Division 5-races, new kid on the block Gilian Van Haghedoorne also got one small result, the same goes for Joop Bruyninckx. They are all still quite young, so there is room for improvement. Etienne Van Gysel was bought to become a DH-supporter for 38k. Our other training prospect is Guillaume Deferme, he should replace Jeremy Paschiers as LO1 or spare sprinting captain in races where TQ is not a priority.
Our cash balance is great, thanks to the selling of Daniel Van De Wijngaert to Andeby. I saw he became a nice TT-er and I think he is not trained totally. So, he could become a great tour rider.
Goals for season 58 are:
-> More results in sprinting/climbing races
-> Maybe selling (too) versatile Pino Claes and buying a trained sprinting captain.
-> Training Guillaume Deferme and Etienne Van Gysel

I like Tom Bollaert, nearly a 200+ sprinter, but he had more
I hope he can get some more training points
Success with the team, and some surprises
