Sturmann to stay on at Shinboners

Written by Shinboners at 06:20 10/11-2011

  Shinboners management has been very happy and relieved to announce today that the Teutonic Tornado himself, Torben Sturmann has been talked out of retiring this birthday and will continue on for the team for at least one more season. Apparently the chance to go for one more Nederlandse Tour victory has enticed the Sturmannator to keep racing a little longer.

  Yeah, I guess somehow you deserve him one more season. I'm happy for you and looking forward to another clash in Nederlandse Tour. Pires will be his contender this time.
  
  See ya!
