Samko is leaving Lokomotíva!

Written by Lokomotíva Zvolen at 21:06 8/9-2022

  What a shocker! The Norway tour has not even finished when Slovakia Jarolím Samko learned that he will be packing his things after the last stage. What's behind this unbelievable decision to sack the last winner of the Drahomir Slovak Award? Manager Pierre Mrazique has the answer:
  "A new situation has been developing, as we have been following training of Julo Lietava, who is clearly a very promising rider, and we think there's now too much potential captains in the team, so someone has to go. Unfortunately for Jarolim, he can also bring a ton of money for his transfer for further trainings, so he was the one with the Black Peter at the end."

  Yes, just maxed his TQ - really lucky and happy about it. Now training TT for some final points. Than TT center and he´s done. :)

Schiavi di Don at 10:33 12/9-2022
  Darn, Lietava is a nice rider! Definitely worth it to go all in for him.

Lokomotíva Zvolen at 07:58 10/9-2022
  I have already posted on the transfer thread.

Universal Soup at 06:11 10/9-2022
  True, but for a tour rider the overall TT performance is also important. He might max after 1 point, Hope not of course, but it is possible :P Did you sell Samko yet? Or just announcing you will sell him in the near future?

Lokomotíva Zvolen at 15:58 9/9-2022
  I've learned that FR is more important because it's useful not only on itself but also against the wind. TT can be gained in TT center. BTW he's not maxed yet, I will push for more TQ.

Universal Soup at 15:01 9/9-2022
  even without the TQ and the lower TT? I know he has more FR and DH but the TQ is a lot higher on the first.

Lokomotíva Zvolen at 14:18 9/9-2022
  Yeah a bit cold not to give him an opportunity to comment. :P
  BrokenChain, he's already better than Samko.


Universal Soup at 13:17 9/9-2022
  Too many captains is a thing? Don't want to make sure Lietava maxes a bit higher?

Holwerda Cycling at 07:48 9/9-2022
  What a cold manager!
  But I understand the decision:)
