Seasons Prospects

[horace_vr]

I will start building on the future - slowly
And have fun with the world challenges
And win races with the TTers

Richard Levin Season 6.  You might as well engrave that on the trophy right now.  Also likely Richard Levin Season 6.
Retention in Div1 is still a question mark.

Achieved all of these goals.  I'm of course seeking all of the same, two are certain (retention & Australian best cyclist jumper), the TT WC title is less certain.

I do have additional placing goals, the first is to finish the season above Combuijs, which is doable, the second is to finish above Vos, which will probably be more difficult.  Oh, and I also want to beat ChessPower, for obvious reasons.

Edit: Achieved all of these.

As usual, for season 8 I'm after & , and expect to get them.  I have the more modest goal of staying in Div1 for season 9, which shouldn't be a problem as TeaMetal didn't promote (I was hoping he did so I could have competed against him).

Now additional tasks.  Retaining the best Aussie team title isn't going to happen; so..., first task is to ensure all other flat-TT based teams demote to Div2 (teams targeted: ChessPower, TeamEuroscalt, KunTeam, CC_Porco_Jones, Facha_Bartolo).  Next task is to get another sprinter, and possibly two climbers (one pure, one flat-climb), so they each have the support to gain proper points - which was an issue last season.

Looking forward for the youngsters of this season!!
Don't forget to promote! Especially from Latvia!

Last season was good. I won my division and am now back in 1a. This time i want to stay here. Thats my main goal. In addition to that i want to win the Dutch jersey with Verbeek and win the nt with the Netherlands. It will be a fun year!

So my goals for last season where fairly ambitious:
- Dutch champion with Verbeek
- Win 'a bike' with Verbeek
- Dutch championship with the team
- Win the CFF cup
- Scout a world class cobblehill talent

The season with Verbeek was a great success. He won 5 races and got a total of 9 podiums. More than any other rider last season. His greatest victory was of course La Doyenne, Lieja or LBL. In total he got 5 top 10s in classics and finished top 10 in 15 stages in total. His stage victory in the Vuelta also meant that TeamRHB now has won a stage in every grand tour. However, the succes didnt end there: He finished second in the Tour Down Under and 6th in Paris - Nice.

We ended up at 3945 points and a 3rd place in general. This meant that we won the bronze bike. Very happy with this, except for the fact that it was only 72 points off of the golden bike. Still, a unique achievement for my team. With this he also won his second national championship. Thats the first two objectives done....

.... and also the last. I got second in the teams championship. Partly because i ended up losing points by going for Verbeek and partly because Captain was too strong. I didnt win the cup and i did scout a world class cobble talent only he was part of a different team. After seeing this i stopped looking .

Goals season 10
- Win the national jersey with Verbeek
- Win Fleche Wallone
- Become World champion
- Win the CFF Cup
- Win national team championship
- Scout or buy a second world class rider next to Verbeek.
