Red star ended season 25 at 16th place in the world, with 2260 points. That is 600 scored points and 6 places lower than last year, and Red Stars worst possitions on the ranings in 4 seasons. But nobody complains, because Red Star's Cetnik will fly the WC jersey during season 26!
Team Manager Petter was asked give his tough about this season highlights:
“Looking back, We had a stellar start to the season. Rytis Kondrates sprinted home the first victory only 5 days into the season in Lisbon GP. His win was closely followed by a win in Glasgow - Dundee by Wayne on day 8th, and by day 15 our new starlet Cetnik took the classic ZBZ while beeing only 21 year old. After that we where still riding good, but we failed to connect it into victories. It seemed like a curse when Sven ended 2nd in the WC ITT, but all changed with Cetnik taking the WC RR."
The team had 6 riders racing in points. Rytis and Cetnik have raced in several sold results. Wayne Babouf have been flying the hill stages, taking a win in Scotland, while Svein Ørstad brought home both wins and good results on the TT bike. Teu Swin and Dino raced in the last points for the team.
At the end of the season, the team has 2 riders in the national jersey as well. Rytis has reclaimed his Lithuanian Knight which he successfully wore for several seasons. Cetnik has concured the serbian eagle, and it expected to lay claims on it for several seasons to come.
On next season goal, our manager is more outspoken than normal, and we got the following comments:
“It is no doubt that we have a new superstar in Cetnik. However, I may have pushed him to far this season, racing all climibng classics, the Vuelta and the GT. Hence, this season he will target a break after the climbing classics, and be ready to attack in GT with more power. We also have welcomed a new climber to the team, Mr. Ortega, which will ride the Vuelta as Captain in Cetnik's absence.
Our legend Rytis has had motivation problems and is considering going back to his pumkin wine farm in lituania, but he has promised me he will at least stay to race the sprint classic to London one more time."
