RAZORBLADE Posted February 10, 2010 Share Hi Wayne I got a lot of info from different hubbers. I don't want to go into to much detail before i'f sorted out some issues. At this stage i want to start of with riders that can average about 30km/hr on a 50km ride. Something simular to the Emperors clasic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallo Posted February 10, 2010 Share Anton your biggest problem with youngsters is their parents, be careful of what role you allow them to play and know from the word go what their priority is between cycling and school. There is a lot of potential in the u16/junior racing ranks that needs help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclewizz Posted February 10, 2010 Share Anton, what youngsters you looking for ? Ones that are already well established in the cycling world, ones that are starting out, a mixture ? Would you be having trials for these youngsters ? (I'm probably going to get slatted for this but as a parent, school will have to come first!!!)

RAZORBLADE Posted February 10, 2010 Share Hi IndigoOnes that can average about 30km/hr on a 50km ride. The main reason for that is that they can train together and i would only need one team car to follow them on rides. I fully agree with you. Education is priority. All i want is dedication and commitment from team and parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclewizz Posted February 10, 2010 Share I'll put him to the test this weekend and keep my eye's on you (so to speak). In a group he should manage, alone is a little tougher. How soon are you planning on starting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyr249 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Anton, you are going to have to put in place something like CSC/Saxo Bank do with a public anti-doping program depending on how serious you are going to get the team to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
