Well...

Today 3 Riders have left our Team: The old Andrea Capelli, Janson Warener and Filip Duerloo. After the sells we had enough money for buying a new talent. Denis Heirweygh joins the team next season. His skills are 56-74-70-46-64 39Reg. So probably the biggest talent we had since Eric van Gaveren. :)

Also we start - afters last years win - again at the Tirreno Adriatico. Chances for a win with Eric are not bad, even though first 2 stages he wasn't THAT great. But with tomorrow his stages begin. :)

MMh, I thought Duerloo wanted to win PR? Scared of the bug, eh?

Thought it too, but then - few weeks ago - he demanded holiday at PRs date. Hm, of course i didn't accept but i saw that he didn't want to win the thing...so he's on holiday from now...maybe he's happy now.

Charro 24 - Eric 24!!!

Eric van Gaveren made this day legendary. With his 24th stage win at the Tirreno Adriatico he gained yellow - and now he has the same number of stage wins as team legend Charro Carrasco. Tomorrow - Tirrenos last stage - is just a flat stage, with a probable sprint, so he's going to win TA...as Charro did. :)

So we both managed to get a great rider from the transfer market. I hope the 23year old will do good at mountain training, he should be a leader! : D

What a shitty month(or shitty last 3 weeks...). Searching for good reasons to stop RSF...actually not finding really good ones...^^
Hope it all turns to the better with the Amstel... :)

You know what´s the problem? Had three tremendous months in a row: 12 stages in January, 9 in February, 7 in March. Not to be mentioned stage races, jerseys. Just relax for a week and then you´re ready for a great ardennes-week. ;)

Problem is MSR. Ideal Position - Place 3. One week later Gent Wevelgem...lost because of millimeters. And Flandres could also be a victory...

And there it is. Afte winning more stages than Charro Carrasco, Eric van Gaveren could also reach more eternal points - and his retirement is far, far away!

Great Eric. I like him, he´s an idol. Too bad Thys didn´t join his career a little longer, I really liked him when the generation started. As well as this Pavé-guy, whose name I found so great but forgot already :D

After the 4th Stage of Dunkerke it seems that Panayotis Yammas could win his first tour!! Maybe a good moment to retire? We'll see...
Eric van Gaveren could reach the 4th place...no nothing chances in his palmares - he has won so much...but never became 2nd or 3rd in a classement. :)

And there it is...Yammas' official retirement was anounced at 8:48pm. We thank Panayotis for lots of great races, mostly helper for eric...sometimes captain - he did alwas great!
We also managed to buy a new rider for next season. Slevin McGuigan comes from Eire and is an classicexpert! With skills from 55-74-70-54-66 36 Reg he is quite simillar to Denis. :)

Today another great rider signed his contract for next season. With Nicolas Bettencourt a french rider will join the team - he's quite perfect to be Ercis heir, with one big problem - he has a bad downhill skill. But with 73-56-56-50-59 44reg we are very happy to have him in our team and not in one of the opponents. :)

Between Genious and stupid? No, just stupid. Selling 3 riders on the second of the new month, buying 2 average riders. Especially they come 1-3 months to late for the team. But i wanted this the last 2 years... 2 pave riders. One quite ok, the other one just funny. Hope it will be cool with the Keerstraete-Brothers. One for P-R, the other for ...well, in fact he's to bad to win anything i think.^^ Quick. Quietly brilliant.

Experts. The will be 28 at the Ronde and PR? So it should be ok... well. Hope so. ^^

No. Khatami's stages are the ones with time-bonification. ...if there is the chance too.
