Captain Jan

Written by Starmans at 16:40 8/11-2014

  Starmans' recent acquisitions have been performing well so far. Especially Jan Hilberts, who came over from Stroopwafel, has been important for the team. He paced Jef Pragt to a nice 6th place in the GC of MRT and to the podium in classic Juberri - Pas de la Casa (3rd). These results, amongst others, made season 30 the best season in the history of the team so far.
  
  However, a mistake in management caused Jef Pragt to reach top form in a rather useless period, so he will be recharging after Juberri. In his place Jan Hilberts will try to chase a few nice results for the rest of the season. Jan got his first win for our team a few days ago, so management is confident he's able to carry the burden of team leadership. The goal is to secure a place in RotM next season, because we already have too much points to drop into MRT next season. That's a luxury the team never experienced before.
  
  Short news: Brecht Frans completed his training in HL and reached 83 in this stat. It looks like hill support is taken care of for the coming seasons and we wonder where the rest of his training takes him.
