Well you'll definitely make our life difficult, especially with Stallaert and Wellens (again, how in the world did you get him that cheap??).

There have been rumblings in the Dutch media today which state that Dutch puncheur Robin van der Hugenhaben is dissatisfied with his team being relegated. He made statements today to the effect that he has no interest in riding "shit small races" when he should be riding the monuments.

It is understood that his current team BPost, with the move down a level, have little interest in keeping hold of him. "We would love to see him win in our jersey," team manager and vampire lord Count Arach told a local paper, "But the problem is we just don't think we are likely to see him win any time soon. He had more than enough chances throughout the year but didn't even come close."

Tensions have been running high behind the scenes with secondary sponsor the Vlaanderen government dropping their sponsorship for the coming season. The reduced budget likely means that more than one rider will have to be let go either during contract renewals or throughout the transfer season. "We are currently evaluating the contracts of all individual riders," the manager continued, "and while a handful of riders will certainly be staying with us in an effort to regain promotion to the top flight, there are a number of riders whose future with the team is by no means certain."

Sorry to see you go down, but it might mean some Belgians will come back on the market?
