Still one of the best shirts I've ever made! 
Good luck for the season, looks like a strong team you're coming out of transfers with!
Wiggo and Simon Gerrans!

@eden95
Thanks! That sounds great  And yeah Kruopis will hopefully fit good in to this team. 
@alexkr00 @ matt17br
Thats higher expectations then I got, I fear the opponents for Byström and especially for Lövkvist/Cort-Nielsen when it comes to stage races. I have to plan wisely so they can score something atleast. But thanks!
@bwiggins
Yeah you done a awesome work with that jersey thanks! |

Stage Racers
Not our strongest department but we have 3 scandinavians who can get some result in stage races. One old veteran from Sweden, Thomas Lövkvist he actually won the B-World champion last season. Next to him we have two still quite young guys who could take some more steeps in their development. Tobias Ludvigsson and Magnus Cort-Nielsen.
Punchers
Here we can find our biggest signing the recent transfer season, Sven Erik Bystrom who we bought from our neighbours Aker - MOT. By his side he has the dutch veteran Johnny Hoogerland and another norwegian in Johan Fredrik Ziesler.
Sprinters
This is our highlight deparment with Jonas Ahlstrand leading here with help from guys like; Thomas Vedel Kvist, Aidis Kruopis, Boy Van Poppel. We also find Martin Reimer here but he could be placed somewhere between sprinters and punchers beacause he can ride good over hills and still have a great kick when it comes to the finish line.
Time Trialists
Not any top top riders here but still some guys who can do decent.
Phan Age Haugard is the strongest here but he lacks some ability to ride over mountains and hills. Beside him we have Alexander Wetterhall, Freddy Johansson and Sten Stenersen.
Rest of the gang
And then we come to the rest, our Domestiques both on flats and mountains/hills. We also have included two young talents here.
Havard Blikra and Jonas Bjelkmark will be valuable riders for our stage races leaders. Ben Hermans, Coen Vermelfoort and Fredrik Ludvigsson will try to help Sven Erik Bystrom in hills. Then we have 3 younger guys who can still develop too good riders. Markus Faglum - Karlsson, Alexader Kamp and Tormod Jacobsen.

I love that sprinting team! Ahlstrand is imo the strongest sprinter in PCT, Kruopis and Reimer are two great sprinter that I'd love to see in my squad and Kvist and Van Poppel are more than solid leadout rider.
An improved Ahlstrand and the addition of Bystrom will push you even further forward and since you werent that far away from the promotion spots last season this might be your season 
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Berner Rundfahrt
We hope the better sprinters get tired on the hills and Reimer could be one of the strongest when/if it comes down to a sprint.
| flag | fullname | hill | sprint | | Martin Reimer | 75 | 77 | | Aidis Kruopis | 70 | 78 | | Boy Van Poppel | 67 | 76 | | Phan Age Haugard | 60 | 57 | | Fredrik Ludvigsson | 74 | 67 | | Sten Stenersen | 66 | 62 | | Alexander Kamp | 69 | 68 | | Tormod Jacobsen | 69 | 59 | |
Tour of Eritrea
Much depends on what opponents will come here but anyway Lövkvist will be our leader with good help from Ludvigsson. Vedel Kvist is here to try his look on the flat stages.
| flag | fullname | mountain | hill | | Thomas Lövkvist | 78 | 75 | | Thomas Vedel Kvist | 62 | 65 | | Tobias Ludvigsson | 76 | 72 | | Johnny Hoogerland | 74 | 76 | | Johan Fredrik Ziesler | 70 | 76 | | Ben Hermans | 64 | 75 | | Coen Vermeltfoort | 63 | 74 | | Marcus Faglum Karlsson | 69 | 68 |
Tour de San Luis
Hillystages for Byström unfortunately there is some kms in TT aswell which is not his best catagory but in those stages Haugard, Johansson and Stenersen can get a good result.
| flag | fullname | hill | tt | | Sven Erik Byström | 79 | 61 | | Magnus Cort Nielsen | 74 | 72 | | Havard Blikra | 75 | 65 | | Phan Age Haugard | 60 | 79 | | Freddy Johansson | 59 | 77 | | Sten Stenersen | 66 | 75 | | Alexander Kamp | 69 | 62 | | Tormod Jacobsen | 69 | 70 |
Volta a Catalunya:
We hope the best GC rider in PCT is not riding here since it´s a C1 race if so Lövkvist good get a decent result and maybe even Cort Nielsen and Ludvigsson could collect some pts.
| flag | fullname | mountain | tt | | | Thomas Lövkvist | 78 | 73 | | Magnus Cort Nielsen | 77 | 72 | | Tobias Ludvigsson | 76 | 75 | | Johnny Hoogerland | 74 | 65 | | Fredrik Ludvigsson | 61 | 69 | | Sten Stenersen | 53 | 75 | | Alexander Kamp | 67 | 62 | | Marcus Faglum Karlsson | 69 | 66 |
Strade Bianche:
We got a good hill squad here with Byström as the absolute leader.
| flag | fullname | hill | sprint | | | Sven Erik Byström | 79 | 68 | | Johan Fredrik Ziesler | 76 | 69 | | Havard Blikra | 75 | 62 | | Ben Hermans | 75 | 60 | | Coen Vermeltfoort | 74 | 64 | | Fredrik Ludvigsson | 74 | 67 | | Alexander Kamp | 69 | 68 | | Tormod Jacobsen | 69 | 59 |
Gisborne GP:
Gisborne clashes with Strade Bianche so Byström can´t ride here but Lövkvist and Reimer will try to make a result here anyway.
| flag | fullname | hill | sprint | | Thomas Lövkvist | 75 | 57 | | Martin Reimer | 75 | 77 | | Aidis Kruopis | 70 | 78 | | Johnny Hoogerland | 76 | 66 | | Jonas Bjelkmark | 68 | 60 | | Phan Age Haugard | 60 | 57 | | Freddy Johansson | 59 | 69 | | Alexander Wetterhall | 69 | 64 |

If Ahlstrand goes "as expected", Bystrom finally finds some form and on the two climbers races you find some surprise this could be a very successful month! Good luck viking

April went by fast and with some dissapointment for us but Philadelphia Int. was a huge happy surprise for us where Martin Reimer really showed his talent by winning a sprint after a hard race. He even out shined "rich man version of Reimer", Marko Kump.
And now even May have stared with Kenya Mountain classic where we had very low expectations but we managed to under preform even that...
Then on to our home race , Scandinavian Open RR. Last year Reimer took a 3rd there this year not even close too that. Have you heard it before? Disappointed.
Next up is one of this season most important races, Berlin ProRace.
Jonas Ahlstrand not much more to say.
Olympias Tour after that, one more race for Ahstrand to really shine and turn this season around for us!
Sorry for not beeing as engaged in this post as before... |

Cant even explain how annoying this is, Kump is 4x times his price. 
But happy to see atleast one of your stars are performing, since the likes Bystrøm and Ahlstrand have been under par this season

I do feel with you.
Know the feeling, all that wage spent on Ahlstrand for severals years, and finally maxed out not preforming close too what expected yet... |

Yeah, kinda tragic watching Ahlstrand. Atleast he gets some more possibillities to turn his season around, but weird (and dissapointing) how bad he's been so far.

It´s been quite here for a long time mostly because we have not achieved anything worth mention. We have been fighting outside top 10 almost the whole season but now in the end we have been getting some decent results and it looks like we have a chance sneaking in too top 10. We will have to see how it goes in Poland and Japan before the season is over.
But now on too something fun, youngsters development.
Sorry for the lousy design that was all I had time and motivation for right now

you build up a nice little train for Ahlstrand there if it would actually work out 
Haugaard looks great, Faglum will do surely too. Kamp surprises me a little, would've guessed that you make him a puncheur

I can always hope this works, trying to sell some others maybe...
Yeah Kamp when I signed him I decided to train him as a puncher but somehow that changed I saw when double checked the PM to roturn... A mistake. |

The season is over and after a good finish from the team we managed to climb up to 6th place in the ranking, half way in the season we never thought this was possible. The still dont know which division we will compete in next season, we missed the promotion by 76 points but there are some rumors that we will get the vacant place due to disbanding teams. But nothing is official about that yet, so we will live in uncertainty for some time more.
