New direction

Written by Team Blund at 23:43 22/2-2014

  We started out as a climbing team. Bit over two seasons has passed, and we have decided to make a switch into TT.
  
  We have put our riders out for sale. There has already been arranged a deal for Kogler. Filipek and semitrained riders; De Ruiter and Vidal are being bargained for as we speak. Pluhar hasnt been with the team very long, but his departure looks certain as well. Enquiries of new riders have been made, but no deals have been made official, yet.
  
  First of all, the switch will be into TT, but in the long run, we are hoping to become a Nordic-based TT-team. We do however realise that it might be hard to accomplish as of now, but a certain goal for the future.
  
  Reason for the switch is that team manager, Kim Blund has eaten all the teams energy bars and drunk all the energy drinks. Getting tired of the riders complaining up mountainsides about not getting neither, the switch to TT seemed natural, as bars and drinks wont be necesarry in TT-races.
  
  PR-Manager, Torfinn Bø

  Thanks! We wish to go Nordic indeed. We realise it will be something we have to aim for long-term without sacrificing too much quality. But after scouting the market, I dont think its impossible given some patience. Lots of Norwegian and Danish teams.

  Good luck with your TT team, hope you can make a Nordic team :) It`s good fun, but might be to hard on just TT.

  Thanks! And yeah, that is pretty much what I am aiming at. First of all right now, just gonna try and get a decent lineup going and then keep my eyes open for any Nordic riders/talents that pop up.

  i'll help any time i can. one advice though first, i was an all-american TT team and i struggled because there simply were not enough of them to buy and support a whole team. if you start out with a TT team from all over the world, but buy nordic when you can you will have a good chance of eventually getting there. also, you might have to train your talents...but if you have a network of nordic fr
