 Melaka's Governor Cup
We had hopes of a top 15 but unfortunately Luka Mezgec was dropped in a peleton split and ended up finishing all the way down in 94th place  Cigar City Brewing Twilight GP
This was our second goal of the season and it was a Top 5 goal; however, the cobbles were a lot more selective this time round and Mexgec was dropped and never sen again. Kusztor was our highest finisher finishing in 81st place. Tatranska Klasika
Our only home race finished with an expected result, the team's highest placed rider was Marek Canecky who came across the line in 27th position. But, Lovassy did have a nice day in the break.

Well, to be fair. Lovassy`s day in the break wasn`t very long. Only 1/8 climbs.  |

Considering his abilities in the mountains, I think it is a nice day for his standards |

 Herald Sun Tour
The race was quite successful considering our expectations going into the race, Milan got 7th on stage, after a day in the break Martin Mahdar managed to secure a 3rd place. On the time trial Gabor Fejes finished in 7th and he also finished 9th in the general classification  Acropolis Cup
This classic was absolutely amazing for us. Julien Simon won the race in a reduced bunch sprint, Fankhauser also finished in 11th after being a perfect leadout man for Simon, and Molnar also got into the morning breakaway. This was also Simon's first top 5 in the year.  Grands Prix Cyclistes
After his win in Greece, the team had hoped that Julien Simon would be able to carry his momentum into the short two staged Grands Prix Cyclistes. Unfortunately Simon was unable to do so, he finished 81st on the first stage and 17th on the next. He was very active during the second stage.  GP Yekaterinburg
After a failure in Canada, Julien managed to impress once again as he clinched the final podium spot. Once again he got the position in a reduced group sprint.

A little bit late but here is our talent development. We only had one rider eligible and he was Peter Simon. The team decided that developing his climbing would be the best option for him.

Hoped you would get Siskevius upgraded. It's a shame that he wasted a year this way :/

Out of the 26 teams in the CT division year we finished around the middle of the table in 16th just edging out Chiquita on the final race of the year. There are some positives and negatives we can take from our final position. On the positive side we finished on the top half of the new teams and we even beat a few second year teams, on the other hand we were almost 900 points behind the division winner. But an overall satisfactory result.

Out of our 17 riders 13 scored points. Julien Simon was our highest scorer with 171 points. A huge majority of his points came in the last two months in the season, in fact at the start of August he only had 31 points.
Mezgec was our second highest scorer but had far less points per 1k of wage. Mezgec didn’t have a monster couple of months like Simon but instead had a lot of minor placings.
Our most effective rider was Gabor Fejes with 2 points per 1k euro ratio.
With an 65,000 wage Krisztian Lovassy should have scored at least a few points yet he did the opposite and scored 0 points. Three other riders also scored 0 points but they were on much lower points and one of the riders was a stagiaire.

Thanks
Although I'm not sure yet if I will go for him. I might need some more developed riders for next season and not level 2 guys. So better don't trust on me taking him. Thanks for reserving though

OTP Bank - Slovnaft National Champions
In all, our team managed to take four national champion jerseys. The Hungarian RR was taken by Lovassy while Sipos took the time trial. Canecky won from a break to nab the Slovakian jersey for the team while our stagiare Siskevicius managed to take the Lithuanian jersey. Here are the jerseys those riders will be wearing for the 2016 season.
