sutty68 and Shonak - It was nice "Computer Series" i guess. Hope you enjoyed it, but now, Marko has to report everything that happened in that more than a year period. Of course, he'll try to say only some basic infos and not to go in-details, since it would be just too much. Stay tuned!

547984 - Well, he was 16 all this time (in Computer Crash series) since he was writing this from September 10th, 2009. We're now back in future.

Faillu - It's going to be way more interesting now.

All - Lost all jerseys in System Repair, but luckily saved database and all these stuff. Will try to do these jerseys (who are not that complicated, to be honest) today.

Since i was not able to enter this account for more than a year, it would be fair to at least write some retrospective of events that happened in that time. Well, here it is, retrospective - first part. It's Road Race edition, this time. As i only made reports of 2 RR events in 2009, this is going to be quite long post. But , let's start.

Tour de Serbie U17 was my next race in RR schedule and it actually was first hilly race and first and only stage race in U17 Leagues schedule. It was one of my main season goals, and it was quite normal that i peaked my form for it. 3 days of good fight with Hodzic brothers from Redstar and Jovanovic from Partizan were best cycling experience in my life.



At the end of it, after tight fight with Jovanovic , i somehow managed to get win on last stage and actually win GC. My dream slightly became a reality.

City race in Novi Sad was next one and it was flat one. Cupic recovered well for it and i was his leadout, as expected. However, he missed the win by only half of meter there. Shame.

Still, 3 more races in 2009 season for me. All of them on hilly/mountainous terrain. I totally enjoyed first and only mountainous race this season Krusevac - Sjenica, since finish was in my hometown. Sadly, i couldn't get the win since O. Hodzic was just unbeatable. I finished as 2nd there.



2 last races of the season were hilly ones and i easily got wins on them. I improved alot and i knew i would be somewhere on top of the rankings at the end of the season. Well, this is how it turned out to be:

1	Marko Šantić	Borac Cycling Team	90 points
2	Omer Hodžić	Red Star Cycling Team	78 points
3	Luka Kotur	Partizan Cycling Team	74 points
4	Nikola Jovanović	Partizan Cycling Team	69 points
5	Kadir Hodžić	Red Star Cycling Team	63 points

As a price for it, i got chance to sign a contract with some Continental team for next year. Adria, Radenska, Sava and Meridiana Kamen had some nice offers but of course i rejected them. I was only 15.

At the end, that was one really nice season. That was clearly best 1st September of my life. I never expected win in Total Classifications at the end, but special thanks to my team for them. I really would not be able to make that without them.

See ya soon, Marko

sutty68 - Well, as probably best all-arounder in this league, with all of these different kind of terrains in schedule, he expected it somehow, but it's still big surprise!

547984 - He's way too young for something like that. You probably never saw 15 years old (he was at the end of 2009) pro. So, who knows, he maybe even try something like that at the end of 2010.

Shonak - Indeed. Well, these teams that were interested are all from Balkan. If Marko get a good 2010 season, maybe even some bigger international CT and maybe even PCT teams gets interested, who knows. Don't forget, his contract expires at the end of 2010. He might even sign a new one. Stay tuned to see what's going to happen', it's not far from this point.

All - After i finally got what i needed for this story, i can finally say that i am going to continue. One Big thanks to Jakstar22 for helping me. I still don't know when i am going to post 2nd part of 2009 - CycloCross version, but it's going to be soon.

Also, this and Radenska will run at same time, with Radenska having a bit slower pace. I hope that's okay, see ya soon.
