The second story mentioned that new tail Jeroen "Bob" Nollet has been an active alternate since 2010. He even competed with the same four returning members (Dennis Praet, Andy and David Grauwels, Danny Jacobs on camera) at the ESL Championship 2012 where Hayabusa won after a jump-off with Thunder.
Andy Grauwels found the video footage of the first ten competition jumps with the complete new lineup, and the audience now has the opportunity to see Jeroen Nollet in action in the slot that he will own for at least the next two years.

He calls the new lineup Hayabusa 5.0 since Jeroen Nollet is the 5th new member for the same three original team members. Sven Ibens (1) was the center inside when Hayabusa was formed. Luc Verstrepen (2) took his slot when Hayabusa decided to become a full time team in the Belgian military.
Waedong So (3) became the new point when Luc Verstrepen left, and Dennis Praet (4) replaced him in the same slot in 2011. Jeroen Nollet is the 5th Hayabusa member who trains and competes with the Grauwels brothers Andy and David. It is also the 5th change of the lineup, including team videographer Danny Jacobs replacing Bruno Van Den Eede.
He said that "everything is looking very promising, as Jeroen is progressing very fast. The first training camp gave him the chance to see all exits and understand our dynamics of the blocks." Hayabusa 5.0 also did some fun jumps, as the video clip shows. Andy Grauwels and his team mates believe that it is important for a team to relax and laugh.
Hayabusa 5.0 is back in Belgium by now and will only add training time in the wind tunnel. Then the new world champions will get ready for the trip to Dubai and the 5th DIPC with Jeroen Nollet in the tail slot.
