All Africa on Ice

Written by nonnies at 09:40 9/8-2015

  After going all African , the focus of the team has shifted and because of some external factors , the African project has been abandoned for now and the team might drop a division or two. Things were going well so far this season , but with some other objectives and the fact that division two is not really our favorite division , the choice has been made to maybe stay in division 3 or drop down to compete in the other tours. The fact that they are also not that young have has promted us to revise strategies and focus on younger riders and embracing the u23 race system.
  
  The two South Africans will however stay for now.
  
  
  The team will train some talents and maybe sell one or two.
  
  You have to go backwards to go forwards...

  Damiano hardly ever got off days. Until this season, nearly every race. If it is linked it is not good, older riders are already disadvantaged.

nonnies at 12:33 12/8-2015
  I suspect that my off day count might be linked to older riders...but it might be coincidence
  


Rigana at 02:48 12/8-2015
  Something in the race engine for older riders has changed.

  Sprinkbok leaves... this weekend was too much ; )

nonnies at 16:19 9/8-2015
  Thanks , hope so. But I know it'll take a season or two.

Rigana at 11:56 9/8-2015
  The youth policy will be fun and a couple high maxes will get you right.

nonnies at 10:22 9/8-2015
  Thanks : )
  
  Goodluck with your training as well
