Interview With Cycleman123
Today we were given the opportunity of an exclusive interview with Cycleman123, the manager of Fuji in the Mini ManGame.
So, Cycleman, the inaugural season of the Mini ManGame is around the bend and you have announced your team and objectives. Is there any objective that you feel that you would most like to target?
Well, the sponsors have made it quite clear that the Hiroshima Circuit is to be the main objective, obviously because it is in our focus country of Japan. The Launceston to New Norfolk Classic is also a big race for the team, as it is around our focus area too. For me personally though, the Tour of Andorra is the pinnacle of the season, the Mini ManGame's version of a grand tour. We really feel that we have a fair shot there and are prepared to fight tooth and nail to get a result. The time trial could throw us out of contention a bit but the climbs should work in Fan Hsin's advantage.
Who do you think is the biggest talent in your team?
It's a hard pick, but I think I have to say Dario Diaz, because he has that sought after ability as a sprinter to get over hills, and mixed in with his time trialling ability he is very strong all-round. The Bayern-Rundfahrt seems to be a race made for him, and we hope he can deliver. It's amazing to have found such a rider still available on the free agent market. Adam Pierzga was another sprinter we found in the free agents, and not even Cat. A! His sprinting talent is really up there, and he'll definitely be up there over the course of the season. Although we may not have as good a lead out as some of the big sprint teams, I think that we can definitely challenge them. His main goal is the Coppa America de Ciclismo. Fan Hsin Chu is another very strong rider, one of the best climbers in the Mini ManGame, if he could TT he'd be a monster. He's our man to win at Andorra and hopefully elsewhere.
That's it for Part 1 of our interview with Cycleman123, stay tuned for Part 2!

Nah, I kid you. But do you even have a good leadout like us and Miche?

By team, I mean your leadouts. Some of them, I bet, can't make it.

It won't matter at all if a 77 sprinter is on the wheel of a 71.

@baseballlover312- You seem to be quite cocky thinking you will win the hill sprints. There are many other teams other than Jesleyh's which will show yyou up in the sprints. I cant wait for this to begin.

I honestly think that Diaz is good enough uphill that (with proper protection) he can challenge some punchy finishes and get some Top 5s

I may be being a little cocky, but it isn't exactly a lie. Look at the teams. Mine is loaded on sprinting, and Sabatini isn't too weak.
