Season 50 - Best Season Ceiling Broken

Written by Manisaspor at 16:06 15/11-2019

  We managed to have our best season ever, despite it's funny to talk about it when Jonas scores 8000+ in a season. A small day for the OCM community but a big day for Manisaspor.
  
  Rank: 30 th
  Points: 2220
  Total victories: 3
  Total results: 14
  
  We became a top division team for the moment, spending 50 days at top but still failing to sign up for Essex. We finished 2nd in Cymru Taith failing to repeat our win with Pierce Taggart. Despite shortcoming the second palmares in Wales, Lanzo Lagorsone had a strong season. 90 K income and 870 points. We have few more seasons to try another Cymru or even Essex win despite the Italian beast Alonso Falcone.
  
  Wesley Rop is a rider we signed for a hefty price and we will use him more this season. Despite underusing him, he had a nice season, earning 24 K and 250 pts. Maybe we can try to have the Kenyan jersey this season.
  
  Happy Jibiliza was bought from Andeby, his top form usage was one of the few good things I made timely as a manager. He brought 36 K and 220 points. This invaluable contribution to the team brought him a personal honor: the South African jersey.
  
  Seyhan Bünyamin is our last Turkish hero! We are looking for a Turkish captain, at least this is the tradition I want to preserve but Seyhan is still singing his swansong. He won a top division race and he will race in top form in Season 51. 25 K and 220 pts is great for Seyhan. Sabri Rasim, Yasar Caglar, Husnu Dilmen, Fikret Erdogan, Yasar Caglar wore the Turkish palmares at our team. Rasim became the 6th rider to do that. A great team mate and local hero! His last top form will be used this season.
  
  Elbert Van Der Heijden, once votes as the best hiller by the OCM community, twice winner of Lappi Sea GP was not used as a captain as often as before so he brought 28 K and 220 pts. But he has been waiting for big races and he will have opportunity to do that, either the Top Division classic Bergen Rundtur or another Lappi attempt in top form.
  
  TT-team slowly built
  
  Eron Oraglio is added to the team as a slow TT-building process. But the need to find younger riders for the Hill team may forces us to abandon the project. We will try to expand slowly while renewing the team
  
  A New Hiller
  
  Flynn Idris has signed for a hefty 330 K for Manisaspor as a new hiller. I hope he is worth it otherwise the Turks will invade Taiwan.
