Russo is a cool sprinter outsider, especially on minimum wage. It's actually his niche (he's been with me when I promoted from CT), but I can't remember him ever being renewed.
So don't expect many wins, but he'll always be in the mix in the hilly-but-not-too-hilly classics.
Love the cards you present the riders with! Wisniowski is a legend many of us love. Was absolutely phenomenal in his prime when riding for Aker, really loved to have him back then. Should still be very capable in the CT, and expect him to do very well in the cobbled classics there
Thank you for the positive feedback on the presentation cards. Appreciate it!
@Imladrik, knockout, seancall: I hope he will be good indeed and channel his Roubaix aura. He is our main signing for sure.
@kandesbunzler: with limited racedays in C2 that is very likely to be the plan.
@ember: Loving to have a fan already. Hope to support him well.
@kandesbunzler (again): Russo is a cool signing. I don't know how much he'll ride for himself or be a support guy, depends also on other signings. Right now we value him not only as a sprinter, but also hills and cobbles domestique.
@Sotd: good to hear that from you, hope you are right.
@Abhi: Yeah we have a focus on semi-classics and I think they will do well there. Although I have seen Rumac has done well in CT last year. Let's hope he can do better with us.
My rookie has been cooking! Wish I could claim credit for the rider taste but you've got a great sense all on your own so far
