Australia s28
Vos:
A new NT season starts ! :)
There were no NT candidates, so I'm automatically the Australian NT manager and I will try to make the best out of this season 28.
The season goal is another world championship ; so far Australia was 14 times ( out of the 26 NT seasons ) the world champion.
Also nice ; after previous season with 3 race victories, Australia is the new leader in the ranking of most NT race victories ( see medal table ).
It is clear that this NT season is for flat-sprinters, and we have 2 high ranked top-sprinters ; Horace Stamer and Jasper Caan.
But previous season showed what we all knew ; NT sprint races are always erratic, unpredictable and a tactical gamble.
Teamcaptain Jasper Caan had a very bad, unlucky sprint race and finished just as 24º, what is zero points.
And he was one of the top favorites with on his palmares 2 NT sprint victories ( in s24 and in s26 ).
Hopefully this season two top results in both sprint races, because if it goes as in previous s27, then probably not another WC title.
But in theory this NT season looks very good for Australia if both sprint races go very well,
ánd if so, then Jasper Caan is one of the top contenders to compete for the individual WC jersey.
What is a season goal too, despite his dissapointing 24º place in previous season.

RACE 1 : SWISS HILLS
25ºC
Baar, Switzerland,
This is the exact same track as the NT race 1 of previous season, with as very surprising Australian victor ; James Bush.
According to my estimation back then, he should have been a top10 contender if the tactics were right, and not a top contender.
I think my estimation was right, and this race was won by a formidable ( or very lucky ) tactical race of Australia.
James Bush is now one year older and already 32yo, so I assume he cannot repeat this very surprising victory.
But if the tactics go right, he still should be able to finish top 10 despite his stats declined a bit ánd despite a stronger competition.
Already selected are the same top 8 hills specialists as in previous season, and the last one will be selected later.
edit ; as last one is selected an xp cyclist, the nr 1 cobblehills in the u23 DreamTeam.
Australia NT selection :
James Bush ( 32 ) Kelme4ever
Paddy Friend ( 31 ) JGMTeam
Rob Mitchell ( 30 ) Villavante
Derek Jons ( 26 ) RHyNeStOnEs
Nate Gailes ( 32 ) Elgrand
Callum Carpenter ( 28 ) TeaMetal
Danny Gill ( 32 ) LanihuliCycling
Natham Middleton ( 26 ) Hero_cycling
Colin Ronnald ( 22 ) QuintoYtapa

7º James Bush ( 32, Kelme4ever ) 0:13"
A good result.

CFF u23 Dream Team =
cobblehills
1. Colin Ronnald ( 22, QuintoYtapa )
2. Emerson Brown ( 22, Agua_Verde )
4. Bruce Hunter ( 22, QuintoYtapa )
10 Tony Glass ( 22, QuintoYtapa )
Just 4 Australians in the u23 DT, but certainly this is an excellent and very promising cobblehills generation.
Most likely the future ( for many NT seasons ) cobblehills teamcaptain is in the u23 DT right now.
The other youth lists will be published later this week.
And hopefully soon we have enough 19yo's so I can post the u20 lists too. Please send your scout to Australia and good luck ! :)
