Nive with that little team and all the talents! You should have signed Joakim Gunnerud too, he's a great talent! Anyways, I'm going to read this story till it's end  |

Jelajah Malaysia Stage 1
Today is our first race of the season and no one is on form but we still expect good results. With the race probably coming down to the mountain stage then we might have a chance if we get lucky.
We started off the stage by attacking the peloton until we got away. It was Derek Burke who got away first and was going to go for the stage win.
With a small group Burke was able to stay away from the peloton for most of the stage.
The inevitable happened with the 30 kilometers left when the group was caught and Burke was immediately dropped.
With 10 kilometers left we led one of the few trains and we looked like we were in good position for a high ranking
In the end we just weren't strong enough to take the win and it was Yukiya Arashiro who tooke the win.
Despite not winning I am really happy with our overall results especially since we are on terrible form.

Matt, no matter what Crommy says, you can make the update use a lot less bandwith by using JPEG instead of PNG without any serious loss of picturequality.

Jelajah Malaysia Stage 2
After a disappointing stage yesterday, I hope to day will be much better. The stage will most likely set up another sprint finish unless the breaks decide to spoil the sprinters fun.
Another day but just like yesterday we decided to send a guy in the break and hope that they could stay away from the rest of the riders. It was Connor who was able to get himself in the break for the team.
They worked well together like yesterday but they had a hard time gaining time on the peloton. They had to work very hard to stay away from the peloton.
Connor was caught and dropped by the peloton and was left by himself with his legs killing him. He would have to work just to not finish last although in the end he still finished last.
We had a lot of trouble setting up a train and in the end it was Fredrik Johansson who was the took the win in front of his teammate.
Still looking for a podium place we will hope to get that in the next few days. Our highest placing today was 20th so we are very disappointed.

The Final Signing
Our final signing of the year is the Canadian Road Race Champion Cameron Evans. He could look for a repeat of last year in the Nationals but we also hope he can pick up a couple stage wins.
When will he have his breakout year
