Two turtles teams to none would be too much to handle! Hopefully the riders get the message and can put in performances to get you deep into the promotin battle!

There's no way the Turtles are not SEEn anymore in the future! Let's hope the results improve in the remaining season so the sponsors don't get any more funny ideas!

SEE Turtles 2025 Goals - Review
| CT Team Standings | Top 5 | Close | | C2 Tour of the Middle East | Win | Disaster | | C2 Monterrey TTT | Top 5 | Success | | C2 Isle of Man ITT | Top 5 | Close | | C1 Olympia's TTT | Top 10 | Success |
After what felt like an overall strong year, our Turtles leave the 2025 season with only 2/5 goals completed - leaving us with much to think about heading into 2026. Our TTT met goal expectations this year, but not close to the standard that we would've liked to see. Does that mean our overall team structure will need to change? Or will a strengthening of that unit be in order heading into a new season?
The choice of Tour of Middle East was always a huge gamble. Merchan had asked for big money and it was unclear exactly how he was going to interact in the peloton. Now we know!
The team standings miss is obviously the most challenging to struggle with. Having already missed promotion, the reminder that a goals miss may also handicap us into the next renewals looms large.
Still lots to be proud of in future posts, but a 2/5 goals result leaves us reconsidering the project for a new CT division this next year.

Fantastic season Sean absolutely gutted for you that you didn't achieve promotion as I really did think this was your chance but what a team you now have next year with your loanee coming back and potential trimming of the squad slightly should be a really strong season |

Missing out on promotion by the finest margins while also "only" achieving two goals really does not do the season you had justice - a few slightly different results here or there and you could be planning for PCT now 
That being said, I really like the (relatively) young core of the team, giving you a really nice base going into transfers, and I would be shocked if you didn't manage to finish in the top 5 next season!

Missing out on promotion by 1 spot sucks, quite sure you will be able to build towards promotion next year! Getting 2 goals and 2 close goals should help getting some money aswell!

Just missing out on promotion and indeed with a team to aim for it again next year, I'll always be rooting for my Ecuadorian brothers. Although maybe you still get promoted, we'll see who continues and who doesn't

While it's not fun to miss out on promotion, I think you can be happy with a fun season and achieving 2 sponsor objectives.

A much better season than those of the past. Narrowly missing out on promotion is not nice but I think you should be one of the favourites to achieve that next around.
