Team News:
The hill team is complete! That's it really for team news, not a lot more is going on at the moment....
....nearly forgot to say that we've had our best start ever!
The team is currently ranked at 49th in the world this season with 486 OCM Points! Five results have helped to get to where we are, but no wins have been achieved yet....
Racing News:
I truly didn't know what Mullan would do in Volta ao Porto.... I didn't know if he would perform.... He didn't have many preparation races, but in the end, Mullan did what he does best, score points and money!
He got three second places and second place in the sprinting classification, which is amazing considering his age! At thirty six years old, he's still able to mix it with the young sprinters and has earned another season with the team.
Transfer News:
We've signed the next Sir Sandro Montelbano hopefully!
His name is Grover Pressler, and we hope he can take the fight to the hillers in Cyrmu Taith and Essex Tour when we get into first division.

North will be trained first and then we'll have to see.
Season News:
Haute Normandie is going okay. No injuries yet and Riley should be back for the sprint stage, where Mullan will captain.
Doderwinkel won't be participating in Cymru Taith this season. I don't feel that he's got enough experience and he wouldn't be in prime form for the tour. Next season he should be ready. This means that Mullan will be captaining there and depending on discipline and race shape, the final stage will be captained by Mullan or Scown.
Kangaroo Tour will be a big target. Mullan will rest after Cymru Taith and should reach 97 discipline and 90 plus race shape. We hope he can do well in the final stage there. After that he will start to re top form, taking a month or so off.
Scown and Hammon will continue to race after that. Scown for the pure sprints and technical sprints and Hammon in the windy flat road sprints.
We hope that we can stay in second division for this season and we should be able to. We have enough points to stay in this division until day 59, so hopefully we gain a few more during this next third.

Only problem is, no one can replace him in my mind now.... :(
Carroll Mullan - getting it done since season 20!
;-)
Oh well, next Cyrmu Taith will be Doderwinkels to own ;)
I think the experience bonus or penalty isn't worked out on just the level but also where the rider is between levels. So just hit 5 is pretty much the same as very high 4, that's what I understood from the manual at least...
Plan was to enter, but I didn't know if he would hit level 5 exp before the tour. So the plan is now to try and get him in next season with tf at level 6 exp, hopefully....
Things are looking good.
I'm very impressed with Mullan's continued performances.
It's a shame we won't see Doderwinkel in Cymru. He looks like he'd be a real contender even without top form.
