Racing Update:
Mullan, oh Mullan. What am I going to do with you? You keep on surprising me, even at the age of 35 and a bit years old. Officially, he says he wants to retire, but them he scores money and points in a hilly sprint race! He got a nice 7th place at Vejle Omegn. That, with his 4th place in he final stage of the Giro di Montelbano means that he scored 60 points and won 12000$ this season.
Transfer Update:
Today, EST did a private deal, which will be concluded on Day 62 this season. Allan Staunton, currently of team Lysskar Nabolag will join EST for a fee of 60k. Manager Kim contacted the team with the potentials of the rider and a deal was made. Here are his potentials:
CL: None
DH: Average
HL: Small
SP: Good
FR: Average
CB: Small
TT: Small
TQ: Good
He should be a good Lead Out Sp or Lead Out 2 depending on how everyone else maxes.
We can also confirm the signing of maxed English rider Riley Rippy from Rotational Symmetry. He will be brought for 80k and the team will sell Samuel Trowbridge to make space.
Training Update:
Hammon maxed the other day after getting his hill ability to 43. We hope this is enough to do well at Kangaroo Tour later on in the season.
Hoxter has started his training and we will max and tt center him by the end of the season.

Well, here we go:
-Day 26: Halifax Grand Prix (Scown Captain and full Lead Out Squad)
-Day 34: Pre Norway Tour BA Race (Norway Tour Squad)
-Day 35-40: Norway Tour (Mullan Captain and full Lead Out Squad/Hammon for the time trials)

Good luck with the trainings.
He has average climb, so he needs one more training session to reach that. If he's still able to train I think I'll train TT, then when he stops I'll put him in TT center. he could be a real good tour rider. Won't have any climbing team mates but he might do ok... I hope he gets to red too. :)
Thanks and Wilbur certainly is training well! I would certainly have h8m as a captain on my team. Hope you get a red AV :-)
I'm back in div 3 and would really like to get in Norway tour. Hopefully I can be on line to sign up.
I have a new captain thats a good sprinter and that can climb. can't do TTs yet because he hasn't finished training and I still want to TT center him. If I can get him in to this tour maybe this fine English sprinter will be able to do something!
Your talents look great Michael. Congrats.
Thanks you two :-)
It's a shame your not going to be in ryant. You would have made it one spot less for sprinting teams :-(
Rippy will be ready in 2 days. He's TF recharged for what it is worth. Glad Mullan is still bringing in some cash.
I wish you luck in Norway, after some ridiculously bad results, we will probably not take part ;_;
