The Great Re....

Written by Universal Soup at 15:23 3/5-2022

  Return! The great Return.
  
  This year we haven't done much. A second place in Juberri - Pas de la Casa, might be worth mentioning. For the rest just shaping the battlefield for season 61.
  
  Training projects S60
  Mikey Esposito maxed just before the turn of the seasons and has provided us with a new hill captain after his decent max. We have had a decapitated hill team ever since Wang Tuan Lam went into retirement. Our hill team is getting a bit old, so we might have to look for replacements.
  
  Ryan Buelens has recently joined Universal Soup and will be a LO SP for Mikey.
  Yury Golubkin also joined during season 60 and will stay in a triple role of TM/HH/LO SP. Mainly for the hill team.
  
  Training projects S61
  Binh Quang Thang is a 210+ climber, partly trained, who will be trained with the highest priority. His CL maxed at 79 and he will be trained DHL HL FR next.
  
  Potential:
  CL: Good
  DH: Good
  HL: Good
  SP: Small
  FR: Good
  CB: None
  TT: Small
  TQ: None
  
  Arnout Wijnterp has joined us recently and will be trained as well during season 61. He is now partly trained in CL and HL. We will train him in CL and HL evenly before commencing DH.
  Potential:
  CL: Good
  DH: Good
  HL: Average
  SP: Average
  FR: Small
  CB: Good
  TT: Small
  TQ: None
  
  Nguyen Tân Xuan will be hired from the talent feature on day 1. He will be trained HL, CL, FR at first. Possibly TQ and SP afterwards.
  
  Potential:
  CL: Good
  DH: None
  HL: Very good
  SP: Average
  FR: Small
  CB: None
  TT: None
  TQ: Average
  
  Goals
  Give a good account of ourselves in Rundfahrt der Schlösser der Alpen.
  
  After that we will just race as good as we can, without trying to stay in a certain division or hit any tour. This means we'll probably end up in div 3 before too long.
  
  If we can manage that we will try our luck at Perm Tour again and Mikey will test himself in Tour of the Western Cape.
  
  That's all folks. Have a good S61!

  That's some juicy trainees. Thang maxing CL at 79 is the cherry on top.
  
  Good luck for the season!
