After almost 4 months of isolation, I've been released from my lofty prison and tasked with the duty of managing the team for a few weeks while Wryen continues his "vacation." Another lack luster start this season has driven him to the brink of madness.
Although, there have been a few glimmers of brilliance thus far. Damario continued his success at GP Funen, adding another 2nd place finish to his storied list of results in Denmark. Desmond finally reached the top ten in Zürich-Bern-Zürich, a race that has plagued his confidence for many seasons now, just barely missing a podium spot; and Mikuláš finally reached the top podium position at Norwich-London, a race perfectly suited for him and targeted for many seasons. It is Luveaucek's only victory this season, and marked Mikuláš's finest moment to date ending a 4 season winless streak, and Luveaucek's second Classic win ever.
After a disapointing series of nine races, where some results were expected, the team is forced to forge on. Damario has a busy week ahead of him with nearly back to back events in Italy, and South Africa. He is well rested and hopes to deliver as he prepares for his return to England and Essex, but in the end the team will be taxed. Mikuláš is already in London, watching the women's Olympic events, waiting for the team to later lead him on his way to Ipswich.
The climbers are in Spain, touring the castles and scouting the roads again. Wajeeh hopes to improve his position and ultimately score Luveaucek's first tour victory in 6 seasons. He also is in fantastic shape, and the squad is in high spirits ready to support him as much as possible, but the field is tough again, and in the end it will be the last stage that will make or break his tour again this season. There are rumors that, if the squad doesn't perform well, funding may not be available to continue the unit and changes may occur.
Some changes have already started as Wryen has taken the initiative to open a pave section of the team. The initial training has begun, but is slow due to the lack of funding for the unit. Regardless Nikanor is starting to mold into an amateur paver and Wryen has high hopes for the youngster. This area of training is a gamble, foreign soil one might even say, but Wryen is dedicated to embark on this endeavor.
We'll see what the rest of the season will bring. I, for one, am hoping for excitement, rather than continued heartbreak, and to remain free from my previous confines.
