Not a Paco in Sight!

Hey guys, it's Carlos, live from the Ah je dzhr la m on dee ahl training camp, not a Paco to be seen!
We think he is over in España negotiating a wildcard for La Vuelta a España , a race which interests me (hint*hint). Anyway, he knows the team schedule, but none of us do! It is slightly annoying, but hopefully he gets back soon!
Anyway, as you can see, I am improving my Anglais and Françias, and I am fitting in much better. Me and Carlos #1 (cocky little) are slowly removing our third layer of clothing, whilst Jan is still in shorts and t-shirt! Apparently it's been a 'good winter'.

See you guys hopefully soon, after my sight gets a good lot of Paco, and my brain gets a good lot of schedule!
Carlos

You are right I'm currently in Spain negotiating with the organisers of the Vuelta about a wildcard, unfortunately I can't confirm anything yet.

Regarding your schedule: You are wrong I don't know it completely as well so far
I can just tell you, that you will open your season in Africa with the Tour of Gabon and ride the Gp de la Marsellaise after that. Besides that you will probably participate in the Strade Bianche and Dwars door Vlaanderen and then get the chance to ride at Gent-Wevelgem. Very likely you will also ride at least one of Tour Down Under, Paris-Nice or Volta a Catalunya.

Muchos saludos
Paco

With the offseason slowly coming to an end, we have determined our goals for the first part of the season.

Easy goal: Top 10 Volta a Limburg
Medium goal: Stage win Tour de San Luis
Hard goal: Top 3 Paris-Nice

Not extremely happy with the Countered goals, especially Gent-Wevelgem will be tough with our limited Cobbles team, but we will certainly try our best
And hope for some AI stupidity

Yeah the only thing you can do there is pray, even though that was your own goal

Heya amigos, it's Carlos again, reporting live from Marseille!
So, Gabon. First of there is the blue whale in the pool, the podium. It was the most fantastique moment of my 7-day career with Ah sche deuxrhre. I tried to surprise Movistar and Sky and also my DS! But more on that later...
In the end Weschenbach was strong too much for me, play fair to him. 3rd is very good for me on a flat stage.
But the rest of the tour, ay carumba I have a few things to say. First up, the Gastauer stage. He was amazing, the DS wasn't. At the time I put it down to a simple mistake, thinking staying back was a good idea. But Sky, ay ai i it's bad enough being near the front when they aren't happy!
But from then on, it was pure crap, pardon my Anglais. I wasn't to stay at front, musn't do that and never ever forever never attack! Now I may be a hilly sprinter but attacking is in my bloodstream! just ask my little bro Luis. Undoubtedly better than me at sprinting and punching, my attacks were always his death. On the subject of Luis, he really wants to enrol with the UCI talent program. We understand J7 Sports can only manage 3 riders but he is a real talent.
So now you can find me in France as I say, as I prepare for the GO and then god-knows what! I have nothing against Paco, he is in Oz (with the kangaroos not the flying monkeys) and the heat won't let him think straight, that old fart Olly from the UCI isn't helping. Anyway I know how he feels, I couldn't even argue with the DS in Gabon after almost acclimatising to Europe winter! But yes, the team schedule is slowly becoming an issue.

See you later, alligators!
Carlos
