After a slow start of the season Down Under, it was time to go to Europe, France to be precise.
One of our star signings for this season, Thor Hushovd made his debut here.
And he did it good, the entire team work good and Hushovd managed to sprint home both of the sprint stages. Marcel Wyss did also get a podiumplace, 3rd on one of the hillierstages.
Hushovd win on stage 1
Hushovd win on stage 3
Next race up is Vuelta a Mallorca

It´s been a while since we had an update about our season here.
Our results have been mixed.
On the picture we can see Thor Hushovd winning the bunch sprint for 2nd place in Nokere - Koerse
Matti Breschel was close to get on the podium in Dwars Door Vlaanderen and managed a 4th place.
Right now Lövkvist has a good chance at atleast top 5 GC place in Vuelta Castilla y Leon and in KBC De Panne Tour Thor Hushovd is our biggest hope for a good GC place and in the 2nd stage he won the bunchsprint for an 2nd place and got some important bonus seconds.
Next races for us is Presidential Tour of Turkey there is our hope for some good stage results by Van Hummel with good help from Brammeier and Lindgren. We don´t have any high hopes for a GC place but Lindgren may have a little chance to an okey result if he make a good TT and can hang on okey in the hills.
After that we will ride Hel van Het Mergelland where we really hope that Matti Breschel has an amazing day and can hang on to the finnish, Theo Eltink and Marcel Wyss will also race here and maybe try to attack at some point.

We have just finished our most successful race this season,Vuelta a Guatemala.
It was a great race where we managed to get 5 podiumplaces on different stages, Theo Eltink won one stage and then Lövkvist took three 2nd places and one 3rd place.
Lövkvist did collect much more points here, he had a hard fight about the overall standing, mostly against Kiserlovski and Paulinho.
But after the last stage a 13 km TT, Kiserlovski stood as the overall winner by 12 seconds to Lövkvist who took the 2nd place and Paulinho 9 seconds further down on 3rd.
Lövkvist also came 2nd in the KoM jersey after Kiserlovski.
Theo Eltink did it quite good in the overall standing to and took a 12th place, Enrique Salgueiro came 18th and Bjelkmark managed 23rd place.
Eltinks win in stage 11
Right know we are racing in Giro del Capo were we wook 3rd place in both stage 1 and 2, by to danish guys Anders Lund and Matti Breschel.
We are also trying our wings in the higher league in Criterium du Dauphine Libere.

Good to see that my favourite Swedish team are staying Swedish. 
I like the jersey! Will stick out a bit more than this year's I think, although it may be confused with Bpost's.

Hopefully this move means some non-Scandinavian riders will be available for transfers.

Ofc some of my riders will leave, But if you thinking about the dutchies they will most likely stay if we don´t get a very good bid.
And thanks guys, I´m really happy about ANFreeman´s work.
Pellizotti2 ; Thanks and you can relax, the team will probably always stay Swedish

It's reported that Gustav Larsson, the other Swedish "superstar," wants to ride with Saab - Scania in 2013.
"I've had a good time with the Norwegian team, but I don't like what the manager says about making the team more Norwegian. I feel there's more than enough Norwegians in the team already! And these Norwegians always think highly of themselves, which means my chances to continue as a leader in the team are very small. That's why I wish to come home for 2013, and Saab - Scania really looks like a great team, with lots of Swedes."
Aker - MOT's manager, ember, have until now refused to make any comment on Larsson's apparent dissatisfaction, but does Saab - Scania's team manager have any comment on what Larsson has stated? |

It´s quite obvious that we have talked about Gustav Larsson during our team meeting isn't it?
But will he ride for our team next season, who knows?
We will defenitely think about give it a try to bring him to us.

I´m glad he was useful for your team, and we are very excited to have him in our squad next year and will hopefully bring some nice memories for us! |
