Welcome to our Season LXIII team presentation. First of all we would like to thank our sponsors Easter Egg Farms and Greenride Rental Bikes for their support for the start of this season.
Today, after a small lookback on the previous season, we will be discussing our goals and our team for the next 88 days.
Our team is centered around a strong climbing core and has been expanded with a hill team. This will not change during the upcoming season(s).
Season 62 preview
Our first goal was Rundfahrt der Schlösser der Alpen in which we won the GC + YC, so this was a great start of the season.
Another goal was to reach division 3, which we overdid. We are now division 2. For the classics, we missed all the good ones, so hopefully we can redeem ourselves in that area too.
Coppa della Famiglia del Don was not a great success. Didn't waste a TF period there, luckily. Something we did do during Vuelta a Valparaiso, unfortunately.
Point wise it was the best season ever of manager BrokenChain. More poins were accumulated than in any of his previous teams. All together the team earned 244.5k in prize money.
The next season we will start doing some jobs with our older weaker riders. Because they have been part of a unique generation dominating Race of the Minutemen they will not be released into a void but remain part of the team.
Hired

Season targets
1. Finish our trainees, especially Ingemar, Ho Quang Long and Ronni Jürgens due to their age.
2. Recharge TF's, Be Dúc Dình, Hô Ngoc Ngoc and Binh Quang Thang all need to recharge.
3. Rejuvenate and improve the climbing team. Only 3 young 200+ climbers at the moment.

Congrats
Thanks everyone! And yes Holwerda Cycling, the goals are quite easy unless all trainees max very high. But the tours I raced last season in div 2 were awful ( performance wise ). So putting one of them in is unrealistic.
@Silenzio, indeed all round or weird races that are almost all round.
Miscellaneous = all rounder. That's the Soup's slang.
Congrats and good to see even you can have some trainingluck!
What is miscellaneous?
Good luck with your goals!
Somehow I think you will be able to do that :)
Congrats on a really great season!
And all the best for season 63.
Remember to keep the core cold and fresh. Otherwise it will melt.
