Subject: Tour of Qatar Stages 5 and 6
Stage 5 saw Gordon in a photo finish…with 4 other riders. No prizes for guessing where he came – 5th. After that, he was 3rd in the points, and with one day left, we were determined to try and come away with something, so Kirky tried again to get in the break, but the pack reeled him in, staright away. Then Ghisalberti, Posthuma and Kohl attacked. Did the pack chase them down straight away? NO! I may have then driven my car into the rear of the Astana guys, the main culprits. It was only a little bump, but their rear bumper fell off. Stupid Kazakh cars. It came down to a sprint, and Agritubel Benoît Sinner rider just egded out Gordon to take the stage and the overall. Three 2nd spots ain’t bad, but our TTT was. Gordon comes home with a second in the points contest by 8 points. Gordon was our best rider overall in 95th!!!

But where should they go?
Any ideas welcome

David Jones has narrowed Allan's options down to four. Which should he choose?
1. Crappy continental team
2. Continental team aiming for promotion
3. Unibet.com - trying to save them from relegation
4. A brand spanking new team, with you choosing the riders and setting the rules

I've had the strangest day ever.
It all began this morning, when I heard some strange whirring noise inside the team hotel, and I was surprised to see David Jones accompanying me to investigate.
I poked my head around a corner slowly, and then withdrew it sharply. This is what I saw:
Heart in my mouth, I crept up to the police box with Dave, and knocked on the door, only to be greeted by this man
"Hello," he greeted, as me and Dave stood their with our mouths open. "OK then, I'm the doctor, and I hear you want to start again with a new team."
I nodded dopily.
"Right, you've got the right man, let's go back to get you to the start of the season again!" And with that, he'd vanished back into the box. Me and Dave looked at each other, then rushed into the box to discover a vast room.
"OK, Unibet.com, nice teawm, shame ASO hate them," the doctor rambled, and with a sudden crash and bang, the machine was brought to life.
"We're travelling through time," he shouted over the din, "I'm giving you another chance to start the season again."
"Why?" I bellowed.
""Oh..well..if you didn't start again, their would be a rip in space and time and the universe would end, but that's not important, next stop, Unibet!"
The machine stopped, and he stepped outside, ushering us to join him.
"Welcome, to Planet Earth, December 2006, and your new home!"
"So we're going to be managing Unibet.com?"
"Yeah, good luck with that," the doctor said.
Dave was still open mouthed and looked utterly confused, but with my wits still about me, I asked the doctor as he left back into his box, "If you can travel in time, how do we do?"
He smiled. "The human race, so inquisitive. I'm not going to tell you, I'll let you have fun." He poked his head back inside the contraption.
"But who are you, doctor? Doctor who?" I asked.
"Precisely." and with that he was gone.

Unibet.com are proud to announce the appointment of a new managerial team to spearhead our ProTour campaign.
After his success at Cycling24, we can now reveal our new director sportif as none other than Allan Smile, who will begin his post immediately.
"I'm delighted to have joined such a distinguished team, and am looking forward to the season ahead. We can expect some tough competition, but we will be able to hold our own in the big boys league. With our strength of riders, we should see some strong success this season, and I'm all the more delighted that I shall be leading it"
Allan Smile training on his brand new road bike
Unibet.com can also announce 3 further signings:
Firstly, Allan's erstwhile assistant David Jones will be fulfilling his favourite role as Mr Smile's assistant, and he brings great experience and knowledge to his position.
Dave Jones after what he calls a proper ride
Secondly, young Colombian climber Alex Ardila Cano has been acquired, and his love of the high mountains is the attitude Allan wants.
Finally, we have a new supporters liason, who will be helping the supporters of this team and cycling as well to further their viewing experience. Bob Johnson will fufill this role
We also have our new team bus, brand new, eco friendly and at a budget cost:

Without further adjure, let's get going with the Down Under Classic
Down Under Classic - Aussienation (What a feeble attempt at making domination Australian)
50km of flat, flat, flat, flat, flat cycling - Yorkshireman Dave Jones nearly fainted at the sight of such a flat parcours, "If only we could play cricket on it, I'd never get out"
Team Leaders:  Jeremy Hunt and  Marco Zanotti
The big execs watching, Unibet flex their muscles up front, and my tinted specs made everything seem great
Khatuntsev looks angry as he brings down 27 riders - he tripped over a block of road due to the manager's crap graphic settings
Always going to be a sprint, and Aussie boys had reason to be proud
Bah, a poor start, but more Aussie racing will bring success

I know, he managed to get into a break away, which went weird, he got away, and stayed away, although in the last 10 km he lost about a 2'30 lead
