Rumour's are circulating that Petronas want Chris Robinson to make Awang one of Sauber Petronas Racing's top transfer targets for teh coming season.
Is there any chance that he'd be interested in the move?

The team management can't deny the rumours but can't confirm it. We want renew Awang's contract for the 2013 season. But we are open for every offer, if Awang have homesick and want to go, we don't mess up that. |

Denifl is going to be extremely popoular and you are going to have a much lower wage cap than most teams, so you may need some luck.

THE SEASON SO FAR (rankings wise)
January : 3rd
February : 5th
March : 3rd
April : 1st
May : 2nd
June : 2nd
July : 5th
As can see, the team moved between the 1-5 places in the season so far. In the last time we are in downfall in the overall and (most reggretable) in the PPD ranking. We have a few races to go and we need good luck to remain in TOP5 and huuuuuge luck to move ip to TOP3. |

Delta Tour Zeeland
Stage 1
The team doesn't have the skill to do much in prologues, so the 20+ results are ok.
Stage 2
Dekkers in the 5-6th place in the photo but somewhat finished 3rd. Great results and adding hope for the 3rd stage, with some bonifications GC wise.
Stage 3
Can you see Dekkers on this photo? I don't. So he partially failed and finished 8th. No time bonifications, no high GC place in home soil. Fail, i say. |

Geelong Tour
1st stage - 5th place for Thorsen
2nd stage - team attack for Gazelle, we do nothing
3rd stage - Thorsen nowhere, Coyot 9th (see the center of the picture)
4th stage - our "hated" terrain, the TT
5th stage - we chased the breakaway, then the pace dropped Thorsen
6th stage - we finish as we started, Thorsen in the 5th place
Overall, not a good race for us, mainly waste of race days, but thats it, we do better next time (or not)

Tour of the Battenkill, one of the waited race in the late season.
Coyot in the offensive mode.
Catching the breakaway.
Move away from breakaway.
Coyot catched
Maes winning?
Nooooo, it was just second group. Baugnies winning, Maes 10th.
Overall a good race until the final kilometers. A good move from Coyot going to breakaway, shame he was catched. i wushed a little bit more cobblestones in the final, making the rcae more selective. The 10th place from Maes not the best being pre-race favourite.
