Zyte Division

Written by De Bitterballetjes at 11:50 10/5-2025

  After playing this game for almost 15 years I finally was able to reach Zyte Division with my team. It truly means a lot for me, reaching this milestone I never thought to reach anymore. De Bitterballetjes won't be in there for long, but it's current standings are the prove of money spent wisely in staff improvement and more attention to TS-management.
  
  Past season was the best in our history with victories and other fine results in all of our disciplines. The beauty is that it was done by multiple riders. There is not one great captain, but more cards to play with.
  
  How do we go from here?
  
  The sprinting squad is not that large in numbers and not all of them are top notch. We are still searching to replace Kenney Ingels in the LO2-role. Van Goolen maybe, but his FR is quite low. Our CB-squad is a smooth running train with Baloi and Khurtin as the scoring stars. An important purchase here was Zoubek with more experience.
  
  In the HL-compartment we could see Roockeloes retiring. He is ready, but a lot of our high AV-hillers lack a little bit of his high HL-specialisation. We will see.
  
  Results don't matter that much this season, I am however thankful for past season. Good decisions led to fine results. For this season, I want to find a good LO2 and a very good hiller to replace Roockeloes.
