On Starmans' last serious race day of S32 Jan Hilberts placed 15th in AC Oporto. Not quite as good as his previous win in this race, but all in all the team has performed very well this season, taking home 3 wins and 9 results. Jef Pragt especially surprised with two wins and a very satisfying performance in Race of the Minutemen.

Transfers
During season 32 quite a few riders left the team, and there's also some notable arrivals.
Riders in:
A few new pace setters arrived at the team during this seaon, Norberto Lopes, and Bernt Bauwens. Next to that jobber Ralph Teesingand downhill and tour talent Sibbe Pierewaaijer arrived. The most notable transfer will take place early in season 33. Young tour rider Joey Gerfen will be bought from Drapeau Noir to take over Jef Pragt's role as tour captain for our squad. He's done well in tours so far, so expectations are high.
Riders out:
Allround climber Radek Śliwiński left to lead team Galliano4827, where he's racking up some nice results already.
Melvin Graham will be reunited with his former Polish teammate soon. Pace setter Niels Aerssen now rides for familytour, while Bernard Karban was released.
Plans for season 33
Early on in season 33 Jan Hilberts is planned to reach top form, to secure a spot in Norway Tour. This tour will be one of Jef Pragt's last chances to lead team Starmans in a tour, before Joey Gerfen will take over his role as captain. Hopefully Sibbe Pierewaaijer can max in at least 3 of his stats during season 32. Next to this hiring another jobber/water carrier should secure a steady income from jobs the entire season around.
