It's hard in 2nd division

Written by Sprintje bergop at 10:48 23/7-2013

  Sign up for races, riding your balls into your throat and often without points and without money. Sprintje bergop finds it hard to achieve some big results in 2nd division races. Manager Petsoc: "Our captain is Olaf van Damme, he is a great allround rider. And the races are too often for specialists only. In the coming week there will be more opportunities: Stockholm Tour and Cymru Taith. We are glad we are in this tour. Our expectations? When we get Olaf van Damme in the top 5, we are very satisfied."
  
  Then there was some other news. Pascal van Hoeyvelt is maxed on training. Again the expectations were high, but the final result is a little bit disappointing. Again the manager: "Pascal is still important for the team. He already earned some points in Zurich-Bern-Zurich. And that's not because he is a worthless rider. But now when he finished his training career, we are searching for a new talent. Scouting is necessary for #riding the future (@ Belkin Pro Cycling)."

  I think you can get a nice result in Cymru! :)

NightmareChaos at 13:49 23/7-2013
  yes, besides Cymru div 2 is not good for allround riders. Try to reach Cleveaux criterium also, just after Cymru.
