Team Bright

[Bright]

New Team Bright will (after a mismanagement restart) debut in the Tireno Adriatico woth a young and unexperienced team. As the only Division 7 team in there I hope to learn from my competitors and maybe grab any yersey for a day.

Team Bright has evolved to a mostly homegrown team:

Form
Erving Plower 24 Flatrider and Pave Specialist
Flopp McMell 24 Young Climber
Gilles Moulin 24 Pave Specialist and Timetrial hero
Hans Geurtbraaij 21 Young helper
Jape Thayer 22 Young classic rider
Jay Thayne 21 Young leadout and flat rider
Marny Sheep 26 Helper
Merrin Farmboy 23 Young second sprinter
Philmus Pantium 23 Helper
Pim Shorts 27 Helper
Petter Maljevic 33 Team Dad (Retired in August)

And the riders that transferred in from another team:
Loris Donnerhaus 32 Classic Rider and hillsprinter
Siegfried Berlinger 31 Classic Rider

Expectations are that in the next three months there will be some new riders joining:
-Classic Rider (high reg)
-Sprinter
-Time Trialist (Gize Mules added in august)
-Flat Rider (John Dopp added in august)
-Pave specialist

We also expect Petter, Loris and Siegfried will retire in the next 3 months.

So in three months Bright is expected to have 15 riders and a fully homegrown squad

Update: With 2 months to go looking for 3 adds: Sprinter, Classic and Pave Guy) (Sep hopefully a Classic, Oktober a Pave guy and a Sprinter)

Sep: Classic (15)
