INTERVIEW
This week, an interview with Simon Clarke.
Goodmorning, Simon. What's your first impression at our team?
Goodmorning to you too. The team has 27 riders, which is a lot of riders. I hope I can find my place in this, with all these good riders. Michael Rogers and Rein Taaramäe are great climbers, Karsten Kroon is a great man for the calssics, but we also have DANNY PATE, so i have no doupts that we will win a lot of races.
Why did you become cyclist?
When I was a young kid, I had a dream once. I dreamed that I was riding a cycling race, I think it was called the Vuleta or something. We'll never mind. But I was in the last kilometre with Tony Martin (who I know is a good cyclist). And i rode away from him, I WON THE STAGE IN THE VULETA (or whatever it's called). I also get to wear a jersey with those strange blue dots. Well, when we arrived in Madrid, I WON THAT JERSEY. I was so happy, so happy, that I loved cycling. And thus wanted to become cyclist.
What are your targets for this season?
I hope to ride as many races as possible. Since this is a very good squad, i think I won't be able to lead some races, but I hope Marco gives me some chances
Thanks for this interview and good luck this season
Thank you very much
A sad day today. First of all, we managed to sign 2 ne Americans. One who hasn't been drafted yet and the other one came from CSC.
Don't look so sad: JEFF LOUDER
and PETER STETINA
We must also announce the departure of Rein Taaramäe. He decided he wasn't happy at our team, so he decided to move to Pervyj. Ee ish him the best of luck for the upcoming season. And Pizza will miss you, we will all miss you, Rein (if you read this). Also, Thomas Peterson decided to leave. We will miss him too.

INTERVIEW
This week, an interview with Peter Stetina.
Goodmorning, Peter. Why did you leave Team CSC?
Goodmorning, Marco. Well, There were many Americans at that team. I dind't feel very special anymore. So I decided to leave. It was a hard decision, but their manager decided to let me go somewhere else.
Why did you join Domino's-ASR?
When I left CSC, i decided I wanted to be at a team where I could get some more leading roles. Domino's-ASR came to me and they needed a replacement for Rein Taaramäe, who left them for Pervyj. They offered me a 2 year contract and a spot in the Tour de France. I said yes immediately
What are your targets for this season?
Marco (the manager) assigned me some races this year where I can lead. For instance, i'll ride the Tirreno and the Criterium International as co-leader with a sprinter. I'll also ride the races in America (California, USAPCC, Philadelphia) and the Tour. For the rest i'll ride some races, but mainly as an free-element or leader.
Thanks for this interview and good luck this season
Thank you very much.
