Team News:
We are going to employ an international hilling team! Hopefully with two teams we will be able to maintain a constant division two place.
Racing Update:
Helsinki GP Mini didn't go according to plan. Scown had an off day :(
The second race we've competitively competed in was Jerusalem Midnight Ride where Scown got 8th with "Normal Legs". So I'm happy with that.
Transfer Update:
Some may say we went crazy with cash, I say we made a nice investment in the form of Wilfried Doderwinkel. We brought him of the TL for 230K.

We also brought Ignaty Yaromeyev from Gradient Levellers for 37k, but he'll be sold to create money for more hillers.
We'll sell Albern Howard, Algernon Tunstall, Heathcliff Hoxter and Melville Wymer to create money for more hillers as well.
Training Update:
North won't be brought until the start of season 30. We want him to be as young as possible when we start training and with the recent buys we won't be able to train him within the season.
Season Plans:
Mullan should be top form ready by Day 89, so we should be able to get him into Giro di Montelbano with decent DP/RS combo (89/94).
Doderwinkel will be re top forming for quite a while and won't be ready for the Giro, so he'll do his best in hill races.
The hill team should be up and running by Day 30 of next season.
Long term goal is Giro di Montelbano with Doderwinkel in season 30.

EST-good luck with the hillers.
Avataria-you will probably have a chance to form the young Starkey as you want him to be so i hope you change your mind and start enjoying training. I love it. All my riders are "hand-crafted" in my training academy :-)
Heart is winning me for the sprint team, but not for the hill team ;-)
I remember, what a nightmare.. Training riders is basically the dumbest thing to do in this game, but it's also the most fun and exciting :) Brain vs Heart problem.
Hope he does better than Hoxter did for me (cost me 175k :-( )
It all depends on the max of Starkey I guess. With buy-cost and training-cost he could possibly cost me over 500k, so reeeaaaaly hope for an extreme max there :p
Hmm, you'll have a very strong team after the change :)
Cyrmu Taith will be impossible!
I'm selling Kleppe.. Buying Beetens (AV54) and hopefully Starkey (the young HL-talent).
Stay away you. Hammon will beat Kleppe all day long in the TT's ;)
Who's gonna be your hiller captain?
Good luck! I will also have a HL-team from next season :) We'll meet in Zyte Div! ;)
