New Ground for the team

Written by Magpie at 11:35 18/8-2015

  Today Gaius Barcauan took second place in the division 7 Norwegian race, Koppang GP, this was the teams first race in div 7 so it was very promising to get a result straight away. With the recent points scored in division ten and now this race it'll be almost a whole season at least before we drop back down the rankings. This will provide a good opportunity for the team to compete and learn at new levels. In other news, we recently hired a new rider to the team, a 21 year old from Mali called Guillaume Akiloye. He signed with the team on the 11th of this month and early talent screenings show he has good all-round potential. He has already started training with the team and will be incorporated into the race schedule soon. We also hired a mechanic for the team, Ruslan Belov from Tajikistan, who specialises in service. The team aims to continue to build both its rider and staff rosters in the following months to provide a stable platform from which future captains can launch.
