Well Logan is pro with the Cinelli professional cycling team. Its an Italian/Belgium squad in which Logan will be mainly involved with the Belgium racing but will start early Jan with the tour of Venezuela.

mid north island series

what a great result for the guys, Scott Green, Monique Avery, Patrick Avery and Nigel McDowell all won their grade in the series. An excellent effort and hinting that things are going well for the Nationals.

pre xmas wrap

so what been going on....
the PM scholarship has been winding up and the university stress will soon be behind me. Pleasing to finish this grad diploma with an average of "Pass with Distinction" including one course, training elite athletes with "High Distinction", the highest grade awarded. I also had a nomination for Bay of Plenty Coach of the Year, but was beating out by the NZ sevens Rugby coach.....next year!!! But Monique won the Junior Sports Women award, wicked

I have also been approached by one of the most promising Juniors (now U23) and are happy to be guiding the training of Tom David who will be riding for the Davo-lotto continental team in Belgium next year. Other great news is the progress of Wade Mangham, who was looking to have a domestic season next year when out of the blue a club in France has invited him to their team next year. There approach was based initialy on Wades worlds results and when they looked deeper they like the results that he had gained here in NZ. He even gets to take a mate over with him to make the NZ-France transition a litle easier.

Clinton is joining a new Amateur team in Belgium "PWS" and will be on a cervelo next year. This should be a good move for Clinton as he will be having another go at winning Paris Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders, if they come off He will have the Pro tour knocking on his door for sure.

Logan is in the process of signing with a pro squad in belgium that features an absolute legend in Belgie cycling. More news when its official. Ryan Wills is heading back to Bodysol - Euro Millions Pôle Continental Wallon.

So with 5 riders racing in Europe this year I might just have to take a holiday and go and see them all racing.

Back home the Waiariki squad is getting all the pre build up stuff out of the way with muscle screans, testing etc. soon to be into the National cup races......

so more to come
