Korney Agliullin arrived in season nineteen to the wonderful team of NightmareChaos. He was a young Korney then but had an interesting potential. Interesting enough to receive the training he needed and Korney did not disappoint. He was maxing out very nice and in season twentyone he celebrated his first victory.
Things turned sour after that victory. A frequent visitor of the nightlife in Novosibirsk and an unhealthy interest in hard liquor and butterflies of the night made Korney become a very expensive and luxurious domestique.
But his manager was fond of him and he always protected him. It was rumoured that he had a plan, a cunning plan.
To kick the bad habits out of Korney, he was send to Antwerp for a time trial project. This was done at an already old age and many followers claimed it was a waste of such an amount of money on such an amount of rider. But no, this had...

Things turned sour after that victory. A frequent visitor of the nightlife in Novosibirsk and an unhealthy interest in hard liquor and butterflies of the night made Korney become a very expensive and luxurious domestique.
But his manager was fond of him and he always protected him. It was rumoured that he had a plan, a cunning plan.
To kick the bad habits out of Korney, he was send to Antwerp for a time trial project. This was done at an already old age and many followers claimed it was a waste of such an amount of money on such an amount of rider. But no, this had to be done, it was all calculated from the beginning.
And at the age of thirty we saw a fit and fully trained athlete, formerly known as the "Vodka barrel of Novosibirsk" This would be his moment. Perm Tour was about to start and all hopes of NightmareChaos was focused on this misfit. Would he succeed in getting another Perm Tour victory after Slavomil Dittrich crushed the opposition many season ago.
All eyes were fixed on how this team, with this rider would perform. It is history now but, all who were there still remember the sheer surprise and enthousiasm when it did happen.
His quest and that of the manager was successful and after a victory in Belgium nothing much happened anymore. With three victories and a few results, he did not take many prizes. But with Perm Tour he took the prize that mattered.
A fully deserved return to the places he loved was no longer denied and we saw Korney back in the streets of Novosibirsk following his butterflies of the night.
You are now free to fly with them, fly and float on the breeze that will lead you where you want to be. Goodbye my friend, goodbye
