Both Brecht Frans and Radek Śliwiński finished their training this season. At avg 42 Brecht Frans will be the team's go-to hill support for a long time to come. Radek Sliwinski maxed at avg 45, which is not as high as was hoped for. However, he is now a 214pt climber, so he will surely get the chance to compete for a result or two.
A target for this season was to expand to 11 riders. Though the team gained a few reinforcements, we didn't manage to expand yet. However, on day 1 of season 31 Walter Sturkenboom will join our team. He is a 200+ climbing talent with potentials similar to Christian Hermans. "Christian is one of my great examples and I hope to compete against him in the future", Walter speaks about his ambitions.
Training Walter Sturkenboom will be one of our targets of next season, as well as finding another talent and a jobber. In a few season's time we want to have two different decent climbing squads.
We hope to finish season 31 in the top of division 4, and if possible higher. Adding the first jersey, hopefully RotM General Classification, to our palmarès is another dream, though a top 3 is satisfactory.

I suspect Jef is faking it to extend his TF-recharge holiday.
BOTH captains injured?! That's impressive bad luck...
Wow, season 31 hasn't even started yet and I'm already reminded of how important expanding exactly is. :-/
Thanks guys (and thank YOU Menni, for Jan)! I guess the game gets even more addictive with a race every 3 or 4 days instead of once every week. ;-)
Agree, expanding should be next priority :). But for now, enjoy the success!!
Good season, expanding will be good for the team, participate in more races and use more riders as a captain worked well for my team
