Another really strong sprint set up, makes me think Gatorade won't have a chance this season! |

Krisztian Lovassy NC Jersey
Lovassy is Hungary's national road and time trial champion, so he needs a jersey to show off his national colours, and that is exactly what we have gotten him!
Credit goes to Krisa for making the jersey |

Once again happy to see Lovassy where he belongs - and he'll be looking great as well.

Siskevicius
He should have joined his brother at my team
You got a nice team together with Simon, Fankhauser and also Mezgec can be quite a useful rider.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

You know TDU is C1? So likely there will most of the best PCT puncheurs, and Simon would do well to get in the top 10, never mind winning it. Impey will see him there

Tour Down Under Review
Our team didn't mange to pull out the results we had hoped for with a 9th and a 10th place being our best results for our maiden season.Our only excuse can be the C1 race category. But let's not let this race bring us down, we will be hoping to bounce back in our next race, the Barcelona Classic!

Cigar City as a goal seems extremely risky to me, really unpredictable race. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but I certainly wouldn't be banking on a bunch sprint.

Would not Count on a bunch sprint as well. The cobbles are much more selective this year and if it would come to a bunch / large group sprint then someone with a better cobble stat as 58 CB would surely be the better option.

Sponsor News for 2016 Both of our name sponsors have agreed to resign for the next season, however, Slovnaft will take over as our major sponsor while OTP Bank will be the secondary sponsor.
Slovalco, who was a minor sponsor, will also continue to sponsor the team. Joining them as a non-title sponsor will be Croatian supermarket chain Konzum.
Vermarc however has decided to not be our kit supplier but instead will be replaced by Italian company Sportful. Italian company Bottecchia will also be continuing supplying the team's frames.
The swap in Major sponsors also means that the team will primarily be Slovakian rather than Hungarian.

Slovakian main sponsor, looking forward to that.
Slovnaft was a good partner for Metinvest back in Division2 days, so i hope they will be succesful as your main sponsor too!

A decision that makes a lot of sense considering the amount of top-class riders from Hungary

Nice to see a team with a Slovakian company as the main sponsor. Can be only good for the future of Slovakian cycling in MG.
