Single Nation team, finally

Written by Equipo Easy On at 12:33 8/4-2024

  After having had a strict regional focus on small island states and/or Caribbean states, after many seasons, EEO has finally become a single nation team, something that I always wanted and never managed, too bored was I. Now, having grown old and patient, I managed to achieve this.
  
  Unfortunately, the only too real talents in the last 5 seasons were both snatched from the HL by lower Div teams.
  
  Presently, there is such a drought of even semi-promising talents that my frustration continues and I have started to scout other riders again....
