So season 25 is complete, this turned out to be another transition year for Team PRS, with the sale of Sanders to free agency at the start of the year and with Idefonso's legs showing their age it was time for the youth to step up. Harald Arndt was the man for the job, the youngest member of the team came in at the end of season 24 and blossomed into the team captain ahead of some much older and more experienced riders. He maxed out at a joint all time high for Team PRS of 49 and caused the management to sit up and take notice, Pete was even seen dipping into his pocket to link team PRS with the London Veledrome, and giving Harald a session in aerodynamics breaking the 50 average barrier.
On the road Harald came home with the only 2 wins of the year and another 2 results. In total team PRS produced 6 results and 23 top 10s.
Fast on Wheels was the tour of choice and with a 21 year old as captain there was some hope of adding the young jersey to the ROTM YC that Sten picked a few seasons ago. With 3 top ten finishes and 7th in both SC and the YC and finishing only 4'16" of the lead in the tour Harald has something to build on when he goes for the tours again next year. With a tentative query from the German national team in the pipeline also the future looks bright for team PRS's latest hopes.
In terms of development the scouting both from free agency and within the academy has proven a bust this year and so Season 26 will see a new team of scouts possibly armed with mobile phones (if Pete can afford them).
Targets for this year
Youth, Youth and Youth again.
