  Season 17 is now over, and it was a stellar one for Luveaucek. The team rebounded from it's second worst season and posted 16 results, it's best season to date.
  
  Stage highlights - 10 podium finishes including:
  Victory for Pomeroy De Rouvres on Mount Kenya
  Victory for Desmond Ledgerwood in Baveno
  Victory for Mikuláš Malina in Phoenix
  Third for Damario Barba at the World Championship Road Race
  
  Tour highlights - 6 results including:
  8th Perm - Mikuláš Malina
  9th Perm - Desmond Ledgerwood
  3rd Essex - Damario Barba
  9th Essex - Mikuláš Malina
  4th Germany - Damario Barba
  6th Germany - Desmond Ledgerwood
  
  Since the teams inception, Wryen has striven to have a very balanced team in order to compete on any terrain, and, despite last seasons departures of Art Cruse, Serhiy Stark, and Andrej Pandula, this seasons results appear to be the fruition of these goals. Although, it does now appear the team is slowly shifting its balanced focus and aiming more directly at the sprinting arena, specifically with the signing of three promising younger riders:
  Chilean - Octavio Carranco
  Seychellois - Leeroy Sabino
  Russian - Arkady Gavrikov
  
  The teams success this season has caught the attention of local Czech officials, and Wryen was airlifted home shortly after today's WC race to meet with Budejovický Budvar's PR department. Budvar has been brewing finely crafted beer since 1895, and was nationalised following World War II. In an effort to raise state revenues for road construction and maintenance, Budvar has decided to sponsor Luveaucek with it's Pardál line of frosty beverages. "I think it's good for the team overall." Wryen said, "Better roads will mean better training, and Pardál has a lower alcohol content which should keep Mikuláš from getting injured on his feverous rides home."
