The Lion Pack from the Mother City starts the new season just like it ended the last - in high spirits!
After a very successful season 62 with 6 wins (3 of them coming from Johann Riese) - only beaten once in our long history in season 36 in the days of the legendary Birhan Kigen - day 1 of season 63 saw some new records set. While every place we climbed last season, almost every point gained, constituted a new record, place 61 in the world ranking and place 11 in Zyte Division, are new before unreached heights!
While, with a little luck, the record for the highest rank might fall soon, day 1 of season 63 set another record, that might take quite some time longer to fall. With Belinda Fulani finished 2nd and 4th in two second division races, local boy Isiah Fredericks rounded off a splendid day when becoming 4th in a 1.1 Division race in Austria. Those results add up to 280 UCT Tour point - a total never before reached on one day of racing in the history of our team; and a record unlikely to be surpassed any time soon!
On a side note: season 62 saw us reach the milestone of 100 victories, when Johann Riese took the victory in the 59th edition of the prestigious
Izmir - Manisa one day race in Turkey.
We are all mightily proud and thank all our staff and riders present and past who have made this incredibly journey possible!
We would also like to send our warmes regards to all the teams and managers we interacted with along the way that has lasted 42 seasons so far and just entered its 43rd. Competing against each other, sharing experiences and advices and generally interacting with you, make this OCM community what it is!
