The Squad and the future
The sprint outfit has been established properly and for the first time in three season we don't need to replace captains. Julius and Philbert are the men we are counting on. Evan Tomkins is getting older and even though he still delivers, winning the UK jersey, he has to be replaced this season. Same goes for Sigurd Guldhammer who, depending on the financial situation, will have to be replaced either this season or the coming.
Eli Rictor will be sold after a catasthrophic season. He do not belong in top division but will show his worth with Duvarcilar in div 7. I am sure he will dominate there. A replacement has to be found. The leadouts are fine for the season. Cerveira and Hitchens will be replaced though.
***
Next seasons goals:
With a steady sprint campaign and, hopefully, signing of a new hill star we count on having a solid foundation to base our season 30 around. We do expect that our cobble and timetrial season will be very weak, depending on what kind of TT'er we can sign. Our goal for this season will be very hard to reach, in particular the hill and tt we are not certain can deæiver what we hope for. But we will try to stick to our long term planning and don't revise our goals for the season.
Team goals:
Top1 / 5000 points / 520k
Sprintoutfit - Maaskant and Seaman:
2500 pts / 260k
Timetrialers - Roewens, Hoero, Dadakos and new signing:
750 pts / 75k
Hillers - Tomkins, Kane and new signing:
1500 pts / 125k
Cobblers - Guldhammer:
500 pts / 50k
***
Long term goals:
s30 top1 or reach 5000 pts
s31 top1 and reach 5100 pts
s32 top1 and reach 5250 pts, win a classic and a jersey

We wish you a good season.

Yes five offdays and and two injuries in the last 8 races made the ens season a nightmare.
Achieving this seasons goal wil indeed be very very tough. The top is getting closer. Maybe the bar has been set too high this time, time will tell. I need to find just the right replacements, in good time, in order to have a chance.
A great season with an unfortunate last 10 days, you were so close to Drapeau Noir around day 80! I think this season might be tough with an ageing team and now minimum two strong competitors, but I hope to see it work out for you!
