Team News:
It's been a long time coming this update, but I've finally found some time to do one!
We're training sprinters (I guess the clue is in our team name) and I want to try and get into top division with just a sprinting team. That's the new goal for the future and off course, I don't have to mention that all sprinters need to be English. For that reason, I sold the climbing squad for 875k and brought two sprinting talents and a half trained hilly, technical sprinter.
Transfer News:
With the money brought in from selling the climbers, a brought Ely Henault for 210k.
Then we bought Noel Ferrin. I very young sprinter that cost me 40k. Not bad for a 20 year old.
And finally Clayton Storrs will join the team for 70k. Had to pay quite a bit for him, but I think he'll be worth it as long as he maxes decently.
Training Plans:
Well, I managed to max Ely Henault quite fast and he's a 224 sprinter (same as Mullan) and has 71 points in hill. He's a 55 average rider (same as Mullan) and is top form ready and still only twenty four years old.
Now I will save up some money and at the start of next season, I'll finally hire Rupert North. He's a 220+ Sprinter, but will also need maxing quickly as he'll be twenty three and a half years old.
Clayton Storrs will follow. A nice 200+ Sprinter with starting stats in sprinting. Hopefully he'll be a good lead out or better.
Noel Ferrin will come in last, but hopefully with a decent average he should be able to ride for the team for the next twelve or so seasons.

Racing Plans:
Well, Ely Henault will rather be top formed in this seasons or next seasons Nederlandse Tour. That's about it really.
At the moment, we're just jumping between Div 1 and Div 2. I quite like it :)

He's been in the academy so long now, that he's helping the staff! ;-)
Good thing is, I've got some time to get a bit of money together, so he should be trained pretty fast.
Good to see you back on track! Will be good to see North unleashed grom the academy. If he's been preparing whilst there (2 seasons?) he'll do brilliantly!
Congrats. I hope he gets more wins for you!
You can't have Brooke Wilbur, he's the only rider that can do anything on my team! lol He got my teams first win of the season the other day. Good luck. :-)
Thank you too for a fast set of transfers :-)
Ely looks good, thanks for everything, shame I cant change my name to ECT ;)
My bad ;-)
Yeah, it`s about time to have a generation change then.
Thanks for that, but it`s Nordic. Scandinavia is only Norway, Sweden and Denmark. ;)
Thanks. I needed to start training sprinters again as I have 3 33 years old.
I must say that you Scandinavian squad is looking superb!
Good luck with your sprinting team!
