Netherlandse roster confirmed

Written by alberta 1 at 11:13 13/3-2011

  This morning at 3am local time, Sean was in Holland lining up to fill out the entry forms for the season 15 Netherlandse Tour. There has been no confirmation as to who will lead the team, however it is understood that Conrado Fraga, Alberta 1’s flagship rider, will be given the role as captain, despite his questionable results. The line up, as it appears on the entry form, is as follows:
  
  - Conrado Fraga
  - Meine Berkhout
  - Davin Wann
  - Matthias Krogsgaard
  - Ely Haynes
  -
  
  Everyone is wondering what is going on with the last spot, as race policy states that “no team shall compete with less then 6 riders”. However it appears alberta 1 has found a loophole, as the team roster currently includes a rider that… well… doesn’t exist!
  
  The forms on team records indicate that an anonymous rider was signed on day 67, and the signature on the bottom of the page can be made out as “337509”, but around team headquarters he is simply known as “Mr. No Name, the Mauritian guy”.
  
  When we caught up with Sean, he had a few words to say: “We have high hopes for our first tour, although we realize that we will have little chance at GC victory do to our team’s lack of time trialing abilities. Our goals for the tour include:
  - a stage victory
  - Two other top 5 stage results
  - Potential top 10 in GC
  We believe our best chance of stage glory will be on the hills in stage 4”
  
  When he was asked about his 6th entry, Sean grinned as said: “That is our secret weapon, the competition literally won’t know what they’re racing against”.
  
  This could, however, turn out to be a double edged sword, as the team captain might be equally confused as to who is supporting him… time will tell.

  It automatically opens up his profile when you go onto albarta 1's team page.

peddelen at 18:56 13/3-2011
  I found a way to bid on him and to scout him. :)

speedyb at 16:56 13/3-2011
  Good luck!
   I don't think you will be too bad off for GC. I may be wrong though. Is the mauritian guy invisible?


trackstah07 at 15:48 13/3-2011
  Good strategy, keeping Chessman out of the tour to scrape up some extra points on the side :-D

alberta 1 at 15:11 13/3-2011
  Lol. I did, but never got a reply. it's pretty novel the way it is though

redop at 15:08 13/3-2011
  maybe you could ask Nick to give him a name...
  something like Nameless Dude would be a good name


alberta 1 at 14:46 13/3-2011
  He can be sold, it is simply a matter of punching in his rider #. I must say that his is a bit annoying though :/

Greenride at 13:50 13/3-2011
  I am so curious about that. I bought a guy named Fox Noone, as this guy was unavailable to fetch. Just to have something approaching a no name lol. Please tell us how you did it!

Asymm Project at 13:36 13/3-2011
  He'll be with you forever, as no one can click to see him and put a bid. How then you clicked on him to buy?

Greenride at 12:26 13/3-2011
  LOL! How did you do that ?!

NECFTW at 11:54 13/3-2011
  brilliant you signed the mystery man!

redop at 11:42 13/3-2011
  how's the 'noname' dude? :s
  how can you use that guy?!
  lol


redop at 11:15 13/3-2011
