Hello to our good friends and fans.
Due to the harsh economic down set, team Torreira has been particularly hit by financial problems. The fact the team comes from a very small fishing village is not helping at all, since there is virtually no more business here.
So, in order to cope with the harsh times, the team has decided to take drastic measures.
1 - All top riders will be placed in teams that can allow them to have a good career. Those teams are being hand picked by the management and the riders themselves.
2 - All racing activity will be shut down in order to cut operational costs.
3 - Management of the team will be in the sole hands of a non paid group of volunteers.
4 - All equipment from the first team will be transferred to the youth divisions within the team.
5 - All under 21 activities will be maintained. All teaching, schooling and cycling will remain.
6 - Community services will continue to be carried out. A new volunteer campaign will be launched to make sure there is no shortage of hands.
7 - No staff will be fired. We believe our operational staff is the key to a future comeback so they will all be working with our youngsters. It can only be good for both sides.
And last, but not least, the team is not shutting down. But given the lack of funds we'd rather stop the racing for a while and try to reorganise things. With the departure of some of the riders, money will also come in to help keep the boat afloat.
To our many friends and fans, we ask for your understanding and (even more) support to surpass this bad patch. Tides come and go and eventually things come around 360º.
The management can always be reached by the team's contact page or by e-mail at itisix@hotmail.com. It may take a bit longer than usual to reply, but we'll get there.
See you on the road again soon.
Cheers,
itisix
