Sad, sad times may be ahead...

Written by Britcycles at 21:46 9/7-2014

  It has been well documented that the last season was a total washout, if you compared it to the season before and now it seems those days may never return to the team, at least in its current format.
   To make things worse than the apparent lack of points, the team has also managed to Top-Form both Maerschalk and Nalinda at the same time, with few suitable races in the time period. The team only managed 70 pts during this time period and failed to sign up for Monte Rosa, due to the inactivity of the manager.
   Anyway, the future may not be so bleak as pictured as the team need only 70 pts to sign up for RoTM, the traditional tour goal of the team, which in previous times would be a formality to make up the points in time but with the teams form, nothing is certain. There have been rumours in the team that a sell-out is on the cards with Nalinda and Maerschalk all but certain to leave by the end of the season according to some whispers in the team.
   We hope that the team can enter the Race of the Minutemen in an attempt to salvage our season, but nothing is set in stone.

  Sorry to see the struggle. My last season was also bad. Things always turn, your team is better than div 5.

  Yes he's doing really well, he won his first race as captain last week.Not maxed yet thankfully, just trained to 67 CL as I'd ran out of cash.

Britcycles at 22:06 9/7-2014
  Thanks, looks like Heidel has done well for you so far, is he still unmaxed or not?

Rotational Symmetry at 22:00 9/7-2014
  Maerschalk is a great rider for RoTM. I hope you get the points and make the sign up.
