No Wins – Season 28 comes to an end

Written by VC Botafogo at 14:48 10/6-2014

  
  Another winless season makes Team Management worried. While attention has been slim on season planning and the general management of the VCB the last couple of months, the team continues to make results but no first places.
  
  Season 28 the team made appearance in La Volta and Norway with a 3rd and 6th place. Mr. consistently, Tom Bella gets into top 9 on regular basis as does most alternative captains, but first places a far away. Next season hopefully alters that fact with promising climber Jair receiving training and currently holds a 44 average.
  
  Other than that, focus remains the same, Hilling and Climbing combined with tours. But as started with the appearance of Felipe Maximiliano and Jaír Trugilho, Team Management will try to sign Brazilian prospects along and broaden the team in that direction. Again rumours of Tom Bella’s future emerges, but Season 29 will yet again see the aussie lead the team in Portugal, while also at the season opener in Salt Lake City.
  
  Hopefully the team manager can become a lot more active and hopefully the team can retain its position in 2nd Division.
  
  Good luck to all and good luck to me.

  Yeah Lemme Frans - and I don't think that I am doing anything wrong in terms of tactics, condition and TS.

  No wins, that's odd with a team like yours. Finz, on the contrary... :P
