Cyklistický tým Kasper Crypto4me s navrátilcem Černým v sestavě míří opět vysoko

Z názvu týmu zmizel Elkov, společnost však zůstala jedním ze sponzorů. Novým titulárním partnerem je Crypto4me. „Přináší nám ještě větší finanční stabilitu, která nám dává možnost posunout tým po všech stránkách zase o úroveň výš,“ uvedl sportovní ředitel kontinentální stáje Petr Kaltofen.

Tým chce navázat na povedenou minulou sezonu. „Vesměs se nám povedly domácí závody včetně republikového šampionátu nebo Czech Tour. Mezi hlavní cíle patří opět mistrovství republiky, Czech Tour a všechny závody první kategorie, kde bychom chtěli bojovat o nejvyšší příčky,“ řekl Kaltofen.

Dvaatřicetiletý Černý už hájil barvy týmu v letech 2017 a 2018, kdy dosáhl na domácí double. Následovalo angažmá v CCC, po rozpadu stáje zamířil do elitního týmu Soudal Quick-Step, v němž strávil i minulou sezonu.

„Měl jsem možnost jezdit i jinde a mohl pokračovat i ve World Tour, hodně jsem o tom všem přemýšlel. Na tento tým jsem však měl ty nejlepší vzpomínky, cyklistika mě tady vždycky bavila a užíval jsem si to tady,“ konstatoval Černý.

„Z WorldTour nějaké nabídky byly, ale nebyly zase až tak zajímavé, když si člověk vezme, co je třeba tomu obětovat. Zvolil jsem pohodlnější variantu. Nepojedu ty největší závody, ale věřím, že tady budu mít zase radost z cyklistiky a také díky tomu i lepší výsledky, než jsem měl v minulém roce,“ dodal Černý, vítěz jedné etapy na Giru d’Italia 2020.

Kaltofen ho vnímá jako obrovskou posilu. „Vedle svých sportovních kvalit, na které budeme v závodech hodně spoléhat, přináší do týmu cenné zkušenosti z absolutní špičky světové cyklistiky, které pomohou rozvoji naší jezdecké sestavy,“ věří. „Zároveň jsme velmi rádi, že se nám podařilo udržet silné jádro týmu, které se v posledních sezonách výrazně podepsalo pod naše úspěchy,“ pochvaloval si Kaltofen.

Na soupisce je 15 jezdců, čtrnáctku Čechů doplňuje Slovák Matúš Štoček. Vedle Černého se vrátil i Michael Kukrle, dále přišli Jan Bittner, Václav Ježek, Jiří Rejzek a Patrik Toman.

„Celou dosavadní kariéru jsem jezdil u nás doma v Boleslavi. A hned první soustředění, které jsem absolvoval s novým týmem, jsem cítil,že tohle je přesně to, co jsem hledal,“ uvedl Ježek, jenž dál více dotírá na dlouholetou domácí cyklokrosovou jedničku Michaela Boroše, který bude nyní jedním z jeho týmových parťáků.

Už v sobotu se v Ostravě utkají o domácí titul. Boroš bude útočit na deváté zlato. „Forma jde pomalu nahoru, začínám se cítit docela dobře, tak uvidíme, jak to půjde,“ podotkl Boroš.

„Naše ambice jsou zcela jasné. Chceme i v letošní sezoně potvrdit, že náš tým patří k absolutní špičce českého cyklokrosu i silniční cyklistiky,“ řekl Kaltofen.

Devět jezdců ze soupisky spadá ještě do kategorie do 23 let. „Zapojování mladých jezdců považujeme za klíčovou součást naší identity. Věříme, že právě tato kombinace zkušeností a mládí je nejlepší cestou, jak dlouhodobě dosahovat na nejvyšší příčky. Chceme jim pomoci na cestě vzhůru a pak je třeba zase přivítat někdy po letech zpátky, jak tomu bylo i v případě Pepy Černého,“ uvedl Kaltofen.

„Rád bych mladým závodníkům pomohl. Budu se snažit předat jim zkušenosti, které jsem nasbíral,“ řekl Černý.

The Sam Darnold story: Can Seahawks star crown comeback at Super Bowl?

Sam Darnold went to New York and lived to tell the tale. Lost like Macaulay, on hold to the Ghostbusters, risen like the Dark Knight.It is less rags to riches, but rather mono to magic, Gotham to glory, 'stupid' Sam (his words) to Super Bowl Sam. Sport lives for stories like that of Sam Darnold. A tale of career redemption, a jagged arc that preserves the art of surprise, a sharp jab to the throat of premature prophets. They don't come around all that often anymore, for sport lives in desperate search of proven quantities and known commodities in an era of no-stone-unturned analysis and preparation, rash to scarper at the sight of adversity and all too obsessed with immediacy - thanks a lot, elite-straight-away Patrick Mahomes. There, of course, is also the reality of damning circumstances, the definition of […]
