A REVIEW ABOUT OUR TEAM
Nils Erik, the manager of Pervyj (who controversialy stole Rein Taaramae from us) wrote a review about all the CT teams, including us. We finished 7th in the ranking out of the 12 teams. For all the reviews, you must ask for him. But we will show you the review he wrote about Domino's-ASR.
7. Dominos
Overall this team is a little behind the rest, but they have been lucky with the races. Rogers is a great tt-ist, which is really important for the division. He can also gather points in the harder stage races. Davis and Van Hummel are also good riders to have in the team; they will get many chances.

THE DANNY PATE GAME
Yes, another contest. Not a number of views required, but a good set of brains. We will play the DANNY PATE GAME. Every week a question about Danny Pate. You PM me your answers. Every time you answer correct, you'll get 1 point. I will keep a ranking, so you can see how good you are in knowing Danny Pate. So, here's the first question: Danny Pate's first cycling team (as stagiare) was Saeco. He however didn't get a professional contract (he's still sick of that today). His first professional contract came years later, with Health Net Presented by Maxxis. Nowadays, that team is called UnitedHealthCare. One of our riders rode for that team in 2012. Which rider?
INTERVIEW
This week, an interview with Sergio Paulinho. NOTE: Sergio is a bit shy, so we'll keep it short.
Hello, Sergio. How are you doing?
I'm feeling very good at the moment
How do you feel about Domino's-ASR
It's a great team. We have great riders (Rogers, van Hummel), but i'm the most statisfied about having Danny Pate as team-mate. He's just amazing
I heard you will ride the Santander Criterium, is this true?
Yes, it is. I will ride it. It's a race held in Spain, the neighbouring country of Portugal. I wanted to ride there. And Marco selected me. I'm so happy. HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY.
Thanks for this interview and good luck this season
Thank you very much.
Today, the first race of the season has been raced. The Santander Criterium held by Bikex, manager of TAP-Michelin. We sent a pretty strong squad here, with Danny 'God, Jezus and the Holy Spirit' Pate as our leader. We didn't expect a win here, but we wanted a good result. But we were suprised (actually not, but), because DANNY PATE won the first race of the season. GO DANNY!!!. It's a shame the race was pre-season, thus doens't count for points or money. But we are very happy with Danny's victory. Mitchell Docker managed to finish in 32th position, 1 position ahead of Pieter Weening. Sergio Paulinho finished 38th and Steven Cozza 65th.
