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).
  
  January 2013:
  
  
  
  
   Greenride
  
  Manager: Raimundas
  Registered: 23-10-2010
  Current rank: 9th/ 1th in Portugal
  Division: 1
  Total results: 130
  Best results: 1# World Championships(div1),1# Volta ao Porto(div2)
  
   Best Rider: Guálter Matos
  
  
  Greenride
  "refers to green as in environmental care, which is important to me both personally and professionally, ride stands for my passion for cycling" Haha you make me laugh! We all know your teamname is just to cover your doping program! I will explain for the ones who dont know; recently Raimundas started with dp doping. Dp doping? He is buying very young riders from the hirelist with low dp(for a small amount of money). He puts them on racebreak till they have a high dp and then they will be released(with alot of profit). This is just abusing guys who dreamed of riding in a top team! But there is something Raimundus really couldn’t handdle. Every morning when he woke up he was standing for the same qeustion: which rider should I make captain for the upcoming race? Most teams have 1 or 2 captains, but Greenride got 8 riders with an avarage above 50!! This is crazy! He even got the best climbing squad from OCM. This same qeustion made him crazy and depressed… so the only thing he could do; is to sell most of his top riders. And so he did! The only two topriders he kept himself are Matos and Balsemão. I'm glad I am not wearing your shoes, good luck in these hard times!..;)
  
  
  
  
   Twente Cycling Team
  
  Manager: Roprop
  Registered: 08-10-2011
  Current rank: 196th/ 38th in Netherlands
  Division: 4(16th)
  Total results: 42
  Best results: 1# Jamundi Uphill(div4), 3# Juberri - Pas de la Casa(div5)

  
   Best Rider: Sten Hållkvist
  
  
  Twente Cycling Team
  Roprop got his team from division 8 to division 4 in only one season, that’s a great achievement! His goal for next season: Win every jersey in Race of the Minutemen! I know you’re in the winning mood, but all jersey’s at once? That a bit to much if you ask me. There is a very nice rider on this team, uhh sorry 2 very nice riders! One is a great climber, name: Feleti Sabia. You can certainly take a shot for the GC with him, but be sure you tt center him! Sabia only got 2 results in his whole career? Why? I think you recently finished his training?
  Anyway, the other great rider: Sten Hållkvist,a really nice TTer! Sten is not a normal TTer but he is really good in climbing. Im sure he will give you a lot of points/money! Hope to compete with you soon…

  Division: 4(24th)
  Total results: 36
  Best results: 1# Classic Oslo(div4), 2# Dali – Dali(div4)
  
   Best Rider: Ingemar Mannerström
  
  NSCT
  What does this teamname stands for? Nine Socks in my CloseT? National Swedish Cycling team?
  No Salad only Cucumber on the Table? None of the Swedish Can be Trust? hmmm....let us know Skiljo!! A complete team with Swedish riders. Remarkable is that he still got most riders from his starting team. He only released 5 riders in his whole carreer! His best rider Ingemar is a great alrounder /tourrider/ downhiller.. and I’m sure if you give this guy some better support, he will surprise you in a postive way! Good luck!
  
  
  
  
   ScotterPop
  
  Manager: Scott
  Registered: 07-07-2012
  Current rank: 221th / 9th of the USA
  Division: 4(41th)
  Total results: 28

  Best results: 1# Järvenpää Heim(div5),
  
   Best Rider: Diedrich Rinzema
  
  Scotterpop
  Most of you must have heard from Scott, because he is a very active member. Scott himself is a very decent and nice guy, but his pr manager(Cyrus Flynn) is a whole different story! If you never contact him before, then please keep it that way! Flynn is nothing then problems! Most of the time he is drunk, and recently he even put the team in trouble after the police found a stash of illegal narcotics. So be warned! If you wanna know more about his adventures: subscribe his pr. About his riders: they are all decent sprinters/lead outs. There is only no “super” captain yet, who can bring him to the higher divisions. But I’ve heard some rumors that he is working on this, probably with his new talent Stefan Partee(who can turn out as a 200+ sprinter). So good luck training him!
  
  
  
  
   Conero cycling team
  
  Manager: Gianluca
  Registered: 03-02-2010
  Current rank: 107th / 4th in Italy
  Division: 2(57th)
  Total results: 68
  Best results: 1# Brescia Uphill (div3), 2# VCK Classic (div3)
  
  Best Rider: Kaden Richards
  
  Conero cycling team
  This team got 17 riders from all around the world. That’s not strange you’re thinking, that’s right! But 15 from the 17 riders are trained, still not strange enough? Okay her it comes: His best one is an 43av rider, this can be just normal but in Zyte division?? That’s weird!! How can a team be in Zyte division if his best rider is a 43 av rider?? I wish I could give you the answer, but I can’t! I can only gamble: He must have been very lucky with break aways, or maybe….mmm can’t find another reason to be honest. Especially because there are many riders who score points in this team. Please Gianluca share us your secret, or at least me (send me a pm!:p)
  
  
  
  
  Happy new year !!!
