Only seven riders in the team?
If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?

The new team shirt has been made.
The shirt is made by the PCM.daily`s famouse shirt designer Will007. Thx alot for doing it on such short noticed Will.. the shirt looks awsome.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our main sponsors, has given us our primary goals, which look like the following
I see our self as one of the big contesters for the continental tour, and it is one of this year’s big goals to win it. I think we have a really good team for winning classics, and cobbled races, and the smaller tours. I don’t think we are going to win the big tours this season, but we are 100% going for the sprint and climbers jerseys, and trying to win some stages and mess up the peloton.

AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIP
A very windy day. The Peloton breaks up all the time.
McOldie cought a good break where the wind broke the peloton in two, leaving evans at the back. The breakaway got cought, and a new grp of 8 attacked and got a good gap. The gap got to large, and the leaders made a last effort 20km before the finish, but the gap was to big to catch

Interesting mix on that team.
Who will be the sprinter for the Tour? Hagstad has a bit better recovery, but Oliviera does have the better pure sprint.
Baertschi for lead in the NC's, McOldie for the Ardennes?
If there's ever a Grand Tour with a few cobbled stages, my money is on Poiss. An interesting stat combo.
Somewhat suprised nobody did 80+ in mountains. |

I’m very happy about the team riders, and think people did a good job not overdoing it. There was some ppl that apply with way to good stats that i didn’t pick.
I will in the future days announce a bigger overall taktik.. i just need to see the riders in action first.
We have a very strong sprinter team, with Hagstad as the finishing sprinter, and Baertschi as the main lead out man for hagstad. I drafted Oliveira so he can sprint in minor tours.. Hagstad is doing all he can to peak at TDF and win the green jersey. I think the Beartschi & Poiss duo is gonna do very well in the cobbled stages. I might open the draft to get a 80+ climber in.
I have really high hopes for Orjan Larsen in the future. He can develop to be a very interesting competitor in the big tour |

Hurley was doing a good job protecting and getting bottles for McOldie, but the insanly strong wind, really messed up the plan for the day. |

Gonna be hard for Hagstad to win, since it ends with a little uphill, but we have to try ofc.
Another crash just before the finishline, and again Hagstad is just in the line o fire. Again Hagstad stays on the bike.
