New Sponsor

Written by Benfica Cycling Team at 22:43 1/4-2012

  Today is the presentation of the teams new sponsor.
  
  After some economical problems we are now 100% ready for the new season. This help came from one man, Mr. Brian Johnson.
  
  I believe that there is no need for presentations because he is the lead singer of one of the best rock bands ever.
  
  We agreed on a two seasons deal, thanks to that deal a new black and white jersey replaced the original red and white that represented us for our first 4 seasons on the road. For the first time we are using a logo and that logo is one of the most popular CD covers in history, the Back in Black album cover.
  
  They gave us enough money to train Lamont Coady and Lionel Rosseler, because our new team boss wants us to focus on hilly classics, cobbles and sprints and he wants to create an european team.
  
  Now he will do some house cleaning, one of those riders is Ivan Martinato, because after 3 time-trial where he was the top contender he let us down, with is best result being a 4th place.
  
  Our goal is to reach the 4th division in this 2 seasons, "a step at a time" the boss told us.
  
  From now on everyone beware 'cause you might be Thunderstruck.
