@Maxime: Not quite. I believe Maxime Oget is very persistent on leading the team in doing what is required, and not attending specified training camps is not one of them.
In anticipation for the new season, team HSBC - MKB Bank has released a document stating what riders are rider where and with who. Although its not very in depth and detailed, we can easily tell that the team has adopted a rather simple approach, with the team staying with the same combinations for the majority of their races.
Many of their early season startlists are focused around Vincenzo Moretti, the teams best cobbler, who will also lead the team through the Ardennes Classics. Just before the Giro, he hands over the reigns to Jakob Zoltan and his team, as they prepare for their assault on the Giro d'Italia, before being succeeded by Maxime Van Damme for the Tour, and then back to Zoltan for the Vuelta, before the season concludes with the late season classics lead by Moretti.
With designated leaders and designated domestiques and helpers, the team should be a force to be reckoned with, as the team will be comfortable with their surroundings and should be performing at their maximum.
We also give our best wishes to the Raymond Bakker, who will need everything he's got to complete his goal of all 3 Grand Tours (assuming Invitations are received). A full list will be available closer to the new season
Hoyle: I know, i can't wait. I'm soo pumped for the start
Only a few minor things left. Like equipment and accessories, plus i just changed to a new computer because of the better (much, much better) graphics and have to make a new DB, but then we should be good to go.
As with any cycling team, the main teams focus is on the riders. The same goes for us. However, in our rush to get started before the season proper, we forgot to sign an Official helmet sponsor, and what's more important than our riders heads? So, without further ago, I welcome Bell to the team as the teams official helmet sponsor. We welcome them and hope to have many successes with them.
Since the arrival of a new sponsor to the team HSBC - MKB Bank, the team has released an updated jersey, with the new sponsor on them, and a few other changes. It is still very much simple and the same, and defines their look in the peloton.
Bad news first. Due to extenuating circumstances, this story cannot continue further. We (me and my brother) have PCM installed on 3 computer, 2 laptops and a desktop, and 1 of the laptops won't play any races and the other 2 can't play edited databases (if someone can help that'd be great). But yeah, in short, I can't play a database that I've edited.
Ok, the good news. Last week I had an English oral, which involved writing, and I got a B, which is the highest English mark I've ever gotten and I am therefore on the way up. To get into uni I need an OP (it's like our entry score or final report card) that is rather high, while im currently in the middle. So I need to continue to improve my English mark. Thus, I have decided I will do another story, but with a twist. Instead of being a report and what not like normal, it will be, are you ready? A story But yeah, I'll do a story on an unedited database.
Hang around for that, I'll try to start either this week or early next week.
Thank you very much to everyone who participated in this, it was very enjoyable and I've no doubt it would have been a great project and a fun story, it's just very unfortunate that I can no longer finish the story. I really appreciated all you following, and I hope you'll continue to follow me on my new story. Thank you
