Day 85 of Season 8, a new team form was filled at OCM Head Office, the name on the form Btt Rookies.
The young manager did not know what he was getting into at the time. Maybe it was the young years, the constant drinking or the occasional girlfriend but what happened next is something he is still ashamed of.
Day 47 of Season 20, Robert saw an old and battered cycling team walk into the Hotel Star Inn in Porto at the end of a long practice. Their old bags all displayed the same name, and he could not believe his eyes. The not so young former manager stood and walked towards the tired men he had abandoned before, and facing their judgmental eyes he vowed he would make everything right.
Day 5 of Season 35, the now older manager sits across from me. Having agreed to the interview while his team is out preparing for the 'Classico di Siracusa' he seems at peace with himself as he answers my questions. Regret is not part of him any longer but I can sense the shame is still there even if atoned by his dedication. If I had to chose the strongest feeling emanating from him while he speaks of Btt Rookies it would have to be pride.
As we both stand up, shake hands and part ways he turns back, smiles and says "Always better ... always riding forward"
