Well, there hasn't been much racing in the last 5 days. 2 stages in the TDU and 2 in the Volta ao Algarve. Dennis van Winden managed to get a seventh place in the first stage in Algarve, but that's it. Davis grabbed some points in the TDU and Rogers finished in a respectable 13th place in the 5th stage. However, Francesco Chicchi had to abandon. We feel very sorry for him.

THE DANNY PATE GAME
Last week we asked this question: Danny Pate became Under-23 World Time Trial Championships in 2001. 2 of our riders participated in that years Elite Road Race. Only 1 person arrived that day. Which rider?
Jesleyh said it was Danny Pate, Bikex named Michael Rogers. Both of you are wrong. It's Karsten Kroon. He finished in 83th in the Elite Road Race (maybe you misread that. So the new rankings:

So, the next question, everyone can still join in: Danny Pate his first victory on the road was the American Under 23 National Road Race Championships. The father an uncle of one our riders won the Elite Road Race Championships multiple times together. Which of our riders can be very proud of his father and uncle?
INTERVIEW
This week, an interview with Dennis van Winden.
Hello, Dennis. Congratulations on seventh place.
Thank you very much.
How are you feeling about that stage?
From the start I wanted to get into the breakaway, but I failed. Later, some other tried to sneak away. I joined them and reached the first breakaways. We rode together until the finish line, in which some riders were better than me. But still, m 5th in the GC and 3th in the Young riders classification. I'm happy
You are currently co-leading the Rider of the Year standings
I know, but I probably won't win it. I'm happy I can ride races and get good results. Danny Pate is probably better than me.
Good luck for the next of this season
Thank you very,very much

BACK AS USUAL
We're back!! Now as usual at sundays. Last week, we released our magazine at Friday due to vacation of our manager. Our manager has returned now, so we can release at sunday again.
THIS WEEK
The manager was away, and afterwards he became ill. But luckily for him, replays excist. Some people rode into breakaways scoring some points, and we somehow managed to lead the team classification in the Tour of Oman (where they almost forget to include us ). Peter Stetina managed to grab a third place in the third stage in Algarve and finished second in the points classification and third in the mountain classification.
DANNY PATE GAME
We decided to cancel the Danny Pate Game. For the third edition, we only had 1 participant (Jesleyh). He answered the last question correct (it was Peter Stetina), and therefore we decided to give him the victory in the Danny Pate Game, since he is the only one who participated in all 3 questions. Congratulations Jesleyh. We'll be back with something new next week.
Every week, a rider of the Domino's-ASR team will be crowned as 'Rider of the Week'. Also, a second and third place will be announced. The first place will get 3 points, place 2 and third place 1 point. The decision will be made by the Gerenal Manager of Domino's-ASR Cycling Team. At the end of the year, a 'Rider of the Year' trophy will be awarderd to the rider with the most points scored.
This weeks points:
3th (1 point): Jeff Louder, for breaking away in the Tour of Qatar and the Tour of Oman.
2th (2 points): Yannick Eijssen, for his breakaway attempt in the 4th stage of the Volta ao Algarve, finishing in 7th position.
1th (3 points): Peter Stetina, for an incredible performance in the Volta ao Algarve
Rankings:
Peter Stetina joins Danny Pate and Dennis van Winden in the lead.

INTERVIEW
This week, an interview with Peter Stetina.
Hello, Peter. Congratulations on your performance in Algarve.
Thank you very much.
DId you expect anything?
I went into the break, hoping that we could reach the end (as the previous days), but I thougt the peleton would catch us. But they didn't, so I could finish third and grab a lot of mountain and sprint points.
You are currently co-leading the Rider of the Year standings
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS, thank you very much. With who?
Danny Pate and Dennis van Winden
OMG, OMG, OMG. I'm equal to Danny Pate. OH MY GOD, i have to call my mother, my brothers, my father, my uncle, everyone I know and everyone I don't know.
*Peter leaves to phone cell*
*Interviewer yelling at Peter* Come back, I have some more questions
*Peter does not react*

Not much to say actually, Simon Clarke finished 6th in a Oman stage and we were present in some breakaways.
RANKINGS
We are last in the CT rankings with 873 points. The number 1 has 13965 points. We are more than 13000 points behind. Therefore the staff and the fans are very sad and want our riders to peform better. That will probably happen, since Danny Pate's season will begin this week.

2 stages in Langkawi, nothing extraordinary happened.
PIZZANEWS
We haven't talked about him since a long time, but we thought it is time to give some news about everyone's favourite pizza, Pizza. Pizza is a bit sad, because our team is not performing very well. But he still has hope and he loves his team. And he hasn't been attacked
TDF SQUAD:
In this and some next maganizes, we will reveal our TDF squad. The first rider is already sure of his place, because he is (well, behind Danny Pate) the best rider of our team. He will be our leader. He hopes he can shine in the TTs and the mountains, but we don't expect him to win. His name:
