@jandal7: Bingo
@Shonak: Forgery? Zlatan can also sign with any signature and you know it's Zlatan afterwards. Is this any different?
@cunego59: The Army WC were, as they were irl, in late October. All the other questions may or may not be answered in the next couple of episodes 
@VoetsT: Can't go wrong with a little mystery around the thing to start it |

Ladies and Gentleman,
We are very happy to announce the signing of Stanislav Grzeljak. The 20-year old Croatian native has signed a deal until the end of the season for our team.
After his breakthrough result at the Army World Championships he showed some terrific results on the national circuit races in Croatia. Now he is ready to step up to Continental level, which is why he will solely focus on road cycling by signing with Meridiana, and is meant to be a valuable domestique for our leaders. Right now we plan him to ride alongside Davide Rebellin for a lot of time, whom we hope he can learn a lot from.

Congrats on signing your first contract, viper! Really, Rebellin is still racing? That makes me feel slightly less old. Don't get caught when you actuallly push the old man up a hill.

Congrats on the signing, but ... this is not what was agreed to in the e-mail though, is it? Did the viper not want to bite some people on the track?

Luck doesn't always stay by your side in life. You work so hard for something. Then - the moment you've been waiting for and working hard for so long - things turn in your favor and you achieve your goal. And in the next moment, just when you've realized your achievement, you fall from grace: They turn around again, and you stand there with nothing.
It's like a game of risk: You gather a major ally and take control of the game. But then there may be a point, when everything has played in your hands, where this ally decides to stab you in the back just when you've gained enough trust in the partnership to sacrifice yourself for your ally.
In this situation there is only one thing to do: Save yourself, get your shit together and strike back hard. My life has been full of allies turning to enemies. But I'm prepared to show off the big guns, the artillery. Three different cards in my hand. They may be hidden, yet, but I'm willing to show them what I'm all about. Make them regret turning on me. Ensure that they'll recognize that I'm not just a screw in their system, that they can just misuse and form to their liking. I'm not going to be played this time.
It's time to strike back. |

This guy seems to have a few anger management issues.

@cunego59: an interesting spot - sometimes you have to make sacrifices though...
@jandal7: lovely
@Ripley: Thanks on your congratulations! But yeah, Rebellin is pretty competitive still - one of the better CT leaders to be honest. Oh, and those are not called energy management issues, that's what you call massaging your determination though I guess it feels more like an acupuncture.

Spot the Viper!
We, as the Team Sapura Cycling, are delighted to welcome Saso Grželjak, better known as The Viper, to our squad. Intense talks lead to the the decision that both parties agree on the great fit between them.
The contract will start beginning at the 1st of April. He will directly be on the startlist for the Tour of Thailand, where he will race alongside our leader Cristian Raileanu. There he'll take on the huge opposition including defending champion Ryan Cavanagh from St.Georges, the Kinan Cycling Team around Lebas and Garcia as well as Team UKYO centered around Benjamin Prades. But he'll also have the chance to race against European Teams, such as Bike Aid or Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum. We hope that he can quickly adjust to our philosophy and enjoy racing with the team!
We hope that Saso can turn his promising fundamentals into results, step up his game to the next level and become a valuable piece in the 2020 season - and maybe even for longer, if the fit turns out to be great. He also has our support to compete on the track as long as it fits with the schedule agreed between Saso and the Team.
Learn more about The Viper on our official website!

Very different tone between the last two posts, but glad that at least one team is happy to have Saso

Might be schicophrenic.
Lets see what Saso gets in Thailand, hopefully his revenge post isnt targeted at someone giving him a std there.
In any case, hopefully some attacks

@jandal7: The Question is whether it was the team not happy enough or Saso himself.
@Shonak: Some interesting thoughts. But I've heard Thai prisons are some of the worst, so he should pick those attacks carefully

Is that why you were in Thailand recently, to recon the course for the Viper? True determination

All I see is a killer instinct
Still slightly confused about Stanislav/Saso, but maybe Shonak's onto something there ...

Favourite Cycling Moment: Thomas De Gendt winning the epic Giro stage 20, riding into virtual pink and finishing 4th overall.
Most stupid crash: missing a sleeping policeman while making an IG vid, thus doing a frontflip right over it and breaking my phone
Biggest result in cycling: 3rd place at Army World Championships
Biggest regret: I fear I get sued if I answer this question honestly. |
