Overall a pretty massive transfer season for JURA and an exciting roster going into the season with the trainings. Love to see the money going into the Swiss core, who are moving into elite territory. I think promotion is definitely in the cards and maybe next season being in an even more stable place to stick in the PT.
And suddenly Schmid looks like a fantastic rider! I love that you continue to back him, and I'm fancying him to repay you this season, leading the team for promotion and a comeback to the PT, also in a better position compared to your first promotion. At least this looks like a team that should do very, very well.
Liking the look of Schmid v2! I think you chose the right path with +1 to MT and Hill to make him more versatile is the way to go. Not as big a fan of the Bisseger training though Always cool to see regional riders trained though.
Godoy looking a very smart pickup now with promotion a huge probability, and him being an easy sell next season to go straight into Darbellay’s training fund then.
Great choices on Schmid of course, but even more excited to see Bissegger at 80! Should be a favorite for a couple races, especially if he can find ways to avoid Powless throughout the year!
Amazing training even after the Godoy purchase. Should allow you to bounce back up to PT easily while also developing Swiss cycling. I especially like what you've done with Schmid here. Wouldn't have favored pure hills or mountains for him. At this point the versatility is his comparative advantage.
