Top Canadian Ranked Team

Written by HC Alpine at 20:00 4/6-2012

  For the first time in Team history Hc Alpine has become the #1 ranked team in Canada.
  
  The team had a solid fill in performance by Canadian sprinting veteran Cary Shutts in Helsinki GP Mini, after Spiridon Apetri had a serious crash the race before. Cary managed to secure 8th place and gain the required points to move past YCO in the standings.
  
  The team is still struggling but becoming more consistent, something team manager Anthony Leutenegger was begging for earlier on in the season. With Spiridon coming back and Bartoli Edo having a few well suited races coming up, the team is looking to finish season 20 strong.
  
  A full report will conclude season 21 at the end of the year. Including Spiridon's lament at not being able to defend his WC jersey.

  Well Sirjani is hardly doing any races as captain in div 2 i guess. My captain is Erwin Geitz. Sirjani is for certain tours.

HC Alpine at 19:37 22/6-2012
  Rostam Sirjani is very impressive! You should have no problem. :)

HC Alpine at 19:36 22/6-2012
  Yeah, he isn't a pure hiller like my old rider Gaspar Espinosa, so I'm not hoping for much.

Team Oasis at 19:26 22/6-2012
  Darn that climber of yours looks strong. Interested to see how my fairly new team does against a team like yours in Hugel Fahrt.
