S71 Too many tours !

Written by TEAM BOBYN at 14:28 26/10-2024

  TB dropped a little bit in performances this season and worrying despite apparently coasting fairly easily enough in D5 the team and although having some expoure in D4 found it difficult to push on. Maybe Fatigue starting to kick in towards the latter end of the season - Key riders Zhuravlyov participated over 40 rides in the season. 2 wins and 7 places strikes out at half-decent but the team should be doing a lot better. In Manager Barry's view.."we need to improve"
