Hi guys,let me introduce you situation we have now. It is really complicated so it's really important for us to get support and for you to read all of this.We have huge problems with our 2nd sponsor,Turkish Airlines has much problems with their financial situations and they're struggling not to bankrupt this year.So,in that case,we decided to make new team Elan Cycling Team,or to make a deal with some existing teams. Most likely,if we choose 2nd option,it will be Cannondale - Elan Cycling Team, but that is only optional,today we're going to announce definetely what will be final decision.
Sincerely,
Managment of Elan - Turkish Airlines Team. |

Some bad news 
Financial crisis strikes everywhere. How about the rider's contracts so far? Will the budget be cut? |

Yeah,it will be cut,but surprisingly it won't be much difference,Turkish Airlines can give everything 'till the end of this season but they can't continue like this next season,and our goal isnt definetely to be Continental or Continental Pro team,so,i think separating from them is the best way. In next season , our team will stay almost the same,none of TOP 3 riders will go,contracts will be extended,if we get in partnership with Cannondale,that will be monster team,with Sagan,Moser,Brajkovic,Kiserlovski and others. |

And if we sign contract with Cannondale,Bozic will leave team 95%,he said that in bus,few minutes ago,he said that he just cant find his place with Sagan and all of that sprinters and also that he is going to finish his career in few seasons so he needs 1-2 more racing seasons and then back to Sava or Adria Mobil,he will most likely continue 2014 season in Garmin Sharp. |

We're glad that it isn't about doping,but as you knows,all of these stuffs from Bole etc,maybe he cheated in his past,who knows. Anyway,still trying to find right lang with Cannondale,i think we're on very good journey to become Cannondale - Elan  Thanks for support again! |

Everyone got so excited with contract Elan and Cannondale signed yesterday,so first articles and pictures appeared on cycling pages. CyclingNews was the fastest (as always),and they showed us some important information. Main sprinter will be Sagan,main Stage Racer will be Brajkovic , main Cobblestones rider will be Novak,but,they also shared with us a great thing. They said that this is probably going to be used in next season as team shirt
 .
As team manager,i still dont know yet,it's still on graphic designers but maybe some of them "sold" image look to them.Now , we can start racing again!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Youve done it again! Blatenly erased bits from a shirt, slammed new sponsors on it, some new colours (The black parts are very pixelated btw.) and then you have put a standard black backgrund on top of my background! No need to lie here TT, cause I can see and recognise it! (And I will gladly back it up!)
And again, you havent given me any sort of credit! It is not your work, so dont pretend like it is!
If I had known that you ment this, when you told me that I didnt needt to worry about your inquiry anymore, I would have went through roof (well I am pretty angry right now)!
Actually, I dont approve you using my shirt, or better shirts (I know that you want to use the NC pack I made) in this story!
Spoiler Had you asked me before, if you could make an Elan version and then give me credit it would have probably approved. Heck I would have given you the basic shirt file to do it yourself, provided that my background wasnt changed and I got credit for it!
Spoiler
Oh and btw, one of the cannondale logos in the front of the shorts is the wrong way
