Susumu Retires

Written by Godzilla at 00:31 30/9-2011

  The climbing star of Team Godzilla, Ogasawara Susumu, 31, announced his retirement today. Despite his absence at the podiums in late 17th season, Susumu was happy to have helped Team Godzilla establish itself in Division C. "With Cappon and Nastase leading the boys in time trials, a good base of climbers and the kiwi promise of Jeff Renshaw, Godzilla should match last season's performance and even find the drive to start contesting the flats.", says the manager Yopparai. As for Susumu, he plans to start his own business, but will enjoy a well-deserved vacation with his family before announcing his new enterprise.
