Season 53 proved to be very successful for TeamTVM, more than 650 points scored enables the team to almost reach Top200, which was unexpected, and is solely due to the outstanding performances of our young sprinter, Urmas Haapakoski.
Just during the TF period that was triggered when we dropped down to Div7 he scored 6 wins and 2 second places, among which the Cup of the 4 rivers trophy :)
Main performance however, from our point of view, is the fact that we managed to gain more money from races than from sponsors ! (218k vs 200k). No real fear then that we miss sponsor money next season !
On the negative side however, we have experienced a way too high turnover this season, 17 riders joined and as many riders left the team ... Hopefully the team is more stabilized and pretty much sprint oriented now.
Only 1 young talent has been trained so far, but we plan to train two young sprinters in S54. We have however quite invested in staff and equipment, maybe ahead of schedule, but this should turn profitable in the near future.
Many good advice was received by many kind managers, and it has been a real pleasure to make well balanced deals, so thanks to all of you !
Main goals for next year are as follow :
- reach again 200k prize money
- train the 2 young talents
- reach Div3 during the first half season and learn as much as possible for the future, try to stay around div3-4 at the end of season
- try and race as many cups, tours and classics (but mainly the ones most suited to sprinters of course)
- try to use as best as possible the TF periods of my sprinters
- find a hill or climbing talent to be trained in S55, when we intend to diversify our goals (and if possible another talent to be sold in order to finance training)
- have our doctors and mechanic reach 95% and optionnally buy wheels
