Globally it has been my best season so far, 945 points scored, lots of results in SP and TT albeit mostly in Div 6-7.
6 victories (2 in SP, 4 in TT), 18 results (9 in SP, 9 in TT), and 5 riders scoring more than 100 points (only 2 in season 54).
I scored at the end of the season my first points in Div3 which is quite encouraging, and I am sure of staying in div3 until Day67 next season, which will enable me to take part in some nice tours (but ambitions will be modest ...)
Let's have a look at the goals that were set 3 months ago, and if they were achieved :
- reach again 200k prize money => YES : 250k (but moneywise, not a so good season, as sponsor income was very low, only 116k, and I was unable to scout good talents with the free scouts)
- train the 2 young talents => NO, only 1 was trained and stopped after 105 training points, the other one has just started and should be fully trained by Day30
- 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 => YES : it proved hard to score many points in Div4, so I ended up dropping down before managing to reach div3, but then there was a high rebound and I finally reached Div3 on Day73
- try and race as many cups, tours and classics (but mainly the ones most suited to sprinters of course) => NO : not done at all, I missed Giro di Sicilia because I dropped in div5, and I missed Fast on Wheels because I was already back in div4 ...
- try to use as best as possible the TF periods of my sprinters => YES : I managed to spare the TF of my prime sprinter, but used other TFs well (mainly TTers and 1 sprinter)
- 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) => YES : found a 200CL, hope to be able to train him in S55
- have our doctors and mechanic reach 95% and optionally buy wheels => YES : almost all 3 staff are maxed, and TT/SP wheels were purchased
Goals for next season will naturally be to try and reach div2, but this won't be easy.
It will partly depend on the success in training the next 200+ sprinter (Mejra) and in my old TTers results. At the end of season they may retire or be sold to free some money in order to build a CL team.
On the other hand, it will certainly be necessary to consolidate the sprint team, so that it is competitive in div2-3.
