But you already have a contract with a semi-professional team. You ride for Xacobeo's B team

He's not using a 2010 DB, I don't think 
But yes, Oliveira will ride for the main Xacobeo team in 2010

Oh, I thought you were referring to the team he'd represent this year.
Carry on then

I know that he got a contract with Xacobea team in 2010 but he didn`t in 08, where the DB is from, so its kind of my choice to take him to a team, I`ll see about wich team later |

Bad news guys. All of the Portugese and Spanish Pro. cont teams turned me down so now I have to look abroad for teams. I`ve allready got three good offers on my hand, but the teams are very small. The teams are:
CCC Polsat
Team Volksbank
Health Net
The offer that currently is the one closest to my taste, is the offer from the Austrians at Team Volksbank, while the offers from CCC and Health Net is battling hard for my heart. As I won`t decide until tomorrow I will let you guys tell me who you think is the best, just so I can get a opinion from "my friends"
So long, Nelson

Guys, I just got an offer from the NGC Medical and Roubaix team, which is the best so far, I`ve now ruled out Health Net as I don`t want to go to USA, as I think they aren`t serious enough down there. So the new teams are
CCC Polsat
Team Volksbank
NGC Medical
and Roubaix Lille Metropole

And now I`ve decided. I signed a contract with......... ROUBAIX. After a long and thorough period in the thinking box my choice fell on the little French team, they got some interesting riders and they got a good morale in the team. More info on the rest of the team will follow

Well, what can you say, right now I`m in heaven. My first proffesional contract on a team. God it feels great. Anyway, this is me:
And this is my team:
The team picked up Bobbie Traksel from FT, to be more competitive in the sprints and on the cobbles, especially since they want us to gain a WC to Paris - Roubaix and they also want us to end in the top 10 in Thropee Bro Leon, that will be Bobbies' task.
As mentioned above I`m extremely happy to be in this team and I can`t wait to get going with the racing, even though I think it will be really hard. The teams first race will be GP Cycliste Marseillaise and my first race will be the Etoile De Besseges
That`s it for now
Nelson
