With the start of the season coming and renewals one of the first things we do here is a sort of pre-renewals guide on who we would like to keep over to next season and who we would not. A few riders are up for PT loan like Altanzul and Delgerbayar as they are looking to get MAXED out next season. With Roe coming back it does strengthen up our Stage racing squad however, it can still be improved a lot! The TT squad is one of the strongest in the CT with Flens, Gunman, Petrus and Roe. The sprint squad is okay but could be improved! We will have an eye out for another sprinter. Other then that our squad is a good base and we will be looking for young talents to grow over the next few years and be at the top of the sport a number of years from now!

So there you have it! A few undecided riders there however it does look like most of them will stick around for another season.
So it is that time of year again! Worlds are out of the way and now we move into something we can actually do well in! As we move into new sponsorship and a new region of interest we are keeping our eyes on all the NC races with high interest! However, firstly lets have a quick look at who has done well for the team.
Firstly, we have young Bosnia and Herzegovina rider, Aleksa Crncevic. He is the only rider in the world of cycling representing his country and therefore, without even riding, he is the Road Race and Time Trial Champion!
Secondly, we have crowd favourite Gabonese rider, Amadou Bakari! He did terribly in the time trial but made up for it in the road race beating every other Gabonese rider and therefore, becoming the Gabon national champion!
Next is Mongolian rider Sonomtseren Delgerbayar. He has always been strong in the Mongolian nationals and this year was no different. He managed to become the double national champion, He came 4th in the Mixed Championships but it was enough to beat all the other Mongolian riders.
The time trial was no different. Although this time he won the race by 3 seconds over team mate, Maani Altanzul. A strong effort from the boys in a very important National Championships for the team!
Finally we have Lotto Petrus in the Namibia TT championships. He won the race and took the TT championships with him.
We have had a few missed opportunities as well. Like in the New Zealand road race we missed the winning breakaway. However, congratulations to Fraser Gough from Jayco'z on the win! Also in the Australian road race with Von Hoff. He just wasn't strong enough in the sprint. Congrats to Ricki Nelson from Podium Ambition on the win though!
That's it for now. We will keep you updated on further National Champions!
Bye for now

Nice to see our former rider Delgerbayar taking the double! Got a special relationship to him, glad he's enjoying a good time at the NCs.
Little note though: Fraser Gough took the Kiwi RR. Not Westley
Yeh us too!! Its great to have him on the team! I may be looking to loan him out to get him MAXed this season if its possible to go from 4.0 to MAX so yeh. Maybe we can talk about that??
I didn't hear from you once I sent the sponsors and I just wasn't sure. So sorry man!! So sorry!
I'm sure he will be super happy with any jersey you produce!
