You may wish to think this one through again. There was nothing at all baffling about this team building strategy.
Firstly, yes, they used most of the relegated team from 2024, but that was a team decimated by numerous and constant injuries. They'd never in a million years have been relegated if their riders had stayed fit.
Secondly, the worst they can now finish is 4th. They secured their playoff spot on Sunday in front of 15,499 plus myself and realistically they are gunning for at least 3rd overall. I never for a moment doubted that they wouldn't do well this year, and indeed, had Mania and Kołodziej not suffered various injuries once again, they could very well have finished the regular season in 2nd place. They lost 46-44 at Toruń when Kołodziej admitted he wasn't still fit, and lost 50-40 at both Wrocław and Grudziądz when he had to take an enforced break to allow last year's injuries heal a bit more.
And while Parnitskyi started well, he certainly hasn't been the dominant factor in them reaching the playoffs.
