best team in the country? Pinarello just signed Adrian Timmis to ride with Elliott and Winn... but then what about the olde worlde charm of PlanetX and then i suppose Pacific World ought to be here too as they've got a world champ in the team. So that's the question, who's going to wipe the floor with whom??? _________________ That was me not logged in. |

What about the new team of Phil Leigh?
With the Downings etc,they will stir it up a bit
Should be a great season |

I think messrs Lovatt and Co are not going to find it so easy this year - with having more organised teams targetting prems it will certainly not be a one horse race this time round _________________ The starting point of all achievement is Desire.

Whilst witnessing the prima donna behaviour of a Team Alcan-Bianchi rider this afternoon I was tempted to add them to the poll.
But I'm not going to. . _________________ That was me not logged in. |

Pacific Racing are mostly John Ibbotson and World U24 Triathlon Champ Stephen Bayliss. There are a couple of other guys i hadn't heard of as well but they're all "concentrating on Premiers as well as events in the South East". _________________ That was me not logged in. |

Nothing personal, but they have had there own way for too long. Plus it might also bring some good individual performances to the fore for once. _________________ Saturday Night Fever (1977), Tony Manero:

I am unable to give examples at present, as the racing season has not really started yet. But as soon as it does I am sure that there will me many. I really can not see what is so confusing about what I wrote. _________________ Saturday Night Fever (1977), Tony Manero:

I just wondered what you meant by individual performances are you saying that we may see riders who aren't on one of the big teams coming to the fore??? _________________ lector benevole absit invidia

The 'Northern Mafia' have been up there year in, year out for over a decade. Optimum Performance, Planet X etc - all the same nucleus. They were winning when there were a lot more 'big teams' around as well so I don't think they will be worried by Elliott and Timmis above anybody else (as much as I admire both of them for what they have acheived). I see no reason why the results will not be there this year.
It is just a shame that Wayne Randle cannot be back on the squad! _________________ 'What's up with her? I been hearing that she's been giving that stuff out to all them grafitti guys!' ' Yo, shut the :evil: up, Chico, man!' 'I'd paint 3 of those murals for some of that ass....' |
