First meeting held, team meeting approaching
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Team RadioShack-Nissan-Trek has one cleജar goal for 2012: “Yellow in Paris.” New team mඣanager Johan Bruyneel has already taken the first steps towards that goal, holding a meeting with the team' six sports directors and planning three team meetings and training camps.
The day after the Giro di Lombardia, Bruyneel met in Milan with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Kim Andersen, Jose Azevedo, Dirk Demol, Alain Gallopin, Luca Guercilena, and Lars Michaelsen. “I have a great feeling,” Bruyneel said on his website, citing “excitement for the new sea🌠son, the format🦩ion of a new team and the dreams and possibilities of achieving goals. It is a motivated group of directors, mixed with experience (myself, Kim, Dirk & Alain) and 'youth' (Lars, Jose & Luca).”
The “younger guys” have the advantages of a better connection to the ri༺ders, he said. &ldꩵquo;Being a rider is fresher in their minds. They know and remember what it's like to suffer.”
The whole team will gather next week, October 25 to 27, in Spa – Francorchamps, Belgium, for “meetings and team-building activities.” In addition, the staff will talk with each rider about their tentative racing programme for the coming year, and Bruyneel ꦉsaid that by then the final team 🐻roster would be publicly announced.
The team will also hold two training camps, “One i🅰n December in Spain and one⭕ in January on the Spanish island of Mallorca.”
Looking forward to the races of 2012, he noted that t💙168澳洲5最新开奖结果:he Tour de France is “a very differ꧙ent Tour. But we're not discouraged. We'll go with a very strong team, make the race hard and go into the time-trials in the best position possi✃ble.
“Knowing what happened in last year's final time trial and knowing the amount of time-trialing in 2012, I think we'll see some improvements from Andy (Schleck). It's a big focus of ours. But as I said the other day and every year, the riders make the race, and we have good riders. We꧑ know our strengths - strong team, strong in the mountains and strong with our strategy. We will maximize these strengths. And we will make sure our focus remains unchanged: Yellow in Paris.”
