Is it the time for the Top Division Fight?

Written by Manisaspor at 17:17 2/5-2022

  Rank: 44 th
  Points: 2086
  
  Total victories: 8
  Total results: 17
  
  These are not impressive after our constant building and breaking down. This time we will no break down but try to add on.
  
  Season 60 brought us three more addition to our palmares.
  Vuelta a Valparaìso
Chile win with an additional SC jersey. Our real target for the last few seasons is Volta ao PortoPortugal is missed widely again with a second place by Dmitry Salko. Salko's time is running out but we will try to be ready at our best to Volta once again although it is better to be pessimistic then optimistic.
  
  At the end of the season we managed to stay in Top Division. This gave us an opportunity to join Alpe d`Huez ClassicFrance. This is a race the Turkish star Serkan Ferit Turkey could contend but we were not prepared. Therefore, we will try to stay in the Top Division in Season 61 but this will be challenge. If we can stay until Day 15, we can do a better preparation for Zürich-Bern-Zürich Switzerland. Let's see if Manisaspor's climbing squad is good enough for the Top Division. The awards race show that our team was the 4th best among climbing squads but it is always easier to score in the Zyte Division.
  
  We are also at the usual conundrum with the aging riders: Is it better to buy trained riders? Or train new ones? With the hyper-inflation it is difficult to decide on. Let's see how we are going to mishandle the situation :)
