EricV's Team-by-Team
by Yuri, at 1/10-12 - 19:13 GMT


   Just to give every team some more attention, I introduce: EricV's Team-by-Team. Every month 5 random teams will be in the spotlights. All from division 1-5. They will be selected on recent victories(or they bribed me).
  
  October 2012:
  
  
   Chippo racers
  
  Manager: Chippoleo
  Registered: 7-2011
  Current rank: 187/ 14th of Belgium
  Division: 4(7th)
  Total results: 37
  Best results: 3# ronde van lokeren(div2), 1# Hellur gp(div3),
  
  Best Rider: Andreas Tubbackx (51av)
  
  
  Chippo racers
  A complete Belgium team. With most of his riders still from his start team. What does that say about this manager? Is he paying the riders a big salary? Or does he blackmail them? Or maybe he is just a good person and manager. I think it's the last one!
  
  
   Team Cypro
  
  Manager: Jonathan Davies
  Registered: 7-2011
  Current rank: 205/ 1th in Wales
  Division: 4(25th)
  Total results: 42
  Best results: 1# Longarone ITT(div5), 2# munchen TT(div5)
  
  Best

Rider: Rogério Aleixo(52av)
  
  
  Team cypro,
  The nr 1 of Wales! I can hear you think:"is that hard to achieve"?
  There are 22 ranked teams from Wales. And team Cypro leads with more then 100 points difference. Oke the other teams aren't fantastic, but I think it's still a great achievement!
  
  
  
  
   Indurain team
  
  Manager: Thomas Runge
  Registered: 8-2009
  Current rank: 164/ 12th in Denmark
  Division: 3(54th)
  Total results: 79
  Best results: 1# San Ramón - San Ramón (div2),1# Morelia - Mexico City G2(div2),
  
  Best Rider: Bjørn Rasmussen(224 cl points!)
  
  Indurain team,
  With 18 riders from all around the world its a big and complicated team. Not sure but I think the spoken language is English.
  Recently he did some huge investments, he bought all the best climbing equipment! The price? I will say this slowly because I dont want you to fall off your chair: "almost 1 million"!
  
  
   Onie
  
  Manager: Onie
  Registered: 3-2010
  Current rank: 57/ 18 in Netherlands
  Division: 2(7th)
  Total results: 83
  Best

results: 1# SC Volta ao Porto (div2), 1# Paris GP (div1)
  
  Best Rider: Jacinto Aldeia(22yr with 215 sp points)
  
  Onie,
  First of all I will give Onie a huge compliment! In his first season as National Team manager , he have lead the Netherlands to World victory! So thumbs up!
  Onie is specialised in sprinting and cobble races. And it wont take long before he will compete with the best in the highest division.
  
   Team Tirilla
  
  Manager: Tirilla
  Registered: 9-2007
  Current rank: 8/ 1th in Denmark
  Division: 1(8th)
  Total results: 252
  Best results: 2x 1# Astana GP(div1), 1# tweedaagse van Antwerpen,
   1# London – Ipswich(div1)
  
  Best Rider: Winfried Reinhold(1020 ocm tour points)
  
  
  Team Tirilla,
  One of the oldest teams out there(5 years!!), he is what you can say an OCM icon. With his really nice sprinters you dont want to race against him. But sooner or later he has to buy or train some younger riders. Because all his best riders are running against the 30. But Im sure that this is not a problem for this experienced manager. Lets hope he will stay for another 5 years at OCM.

  Very nice idea. I like seeing other teams than the top divs on the frontpage. To improve the piece a bit (imho) you could contact the managers and ask them about their hopes and so on.
  But excellent idea and nice piece.
