And it's goodbye from him

A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

And it's goodbye from him

Just to let you know that Adam has decided to move on and will be racing for TSN next year, but will remain 2nd claim to ACC.

[quote="Seanieh_Taipei_Posse©"]Well, that's a pity. I wonder if he'll be as successful as Mosquito riders were this year :?:
:lol: :lol: Well that depends. Do you mean Mosquito riders per se or ACC boys who left to ride with Mosquito Bikes. Speaking for myself i didn't do well at all, but that was my fault no one else's.

I'll be interested to hear his reasons for leaving. I know Marek and I left cause we thought nobody was that fussed about racing in ACC and we wanted to race with the same bunch of riders a lot more. And before anyone jumps down my throat that was definitley how things appeared at the time.

[quote="Seanieh_Taipei_Posse©"]Toks, I was pulling your leg a wee bit. You're right about possible reasons as after one of the most successful seasons ever it can't be for the same reasons as yourself & Marek.
Hey thats fine matey :D . I can't deny having had close to a year of cheap bike servicing a free set of kit & helmet; then additional shorts, tops, etc at cost price its been all good. But ya kinda miss that big club homely feel and I never actually thought I'd miss club run type rides.

But the deciding factor had to be to all the ACC racers i've known who've had such a great year - very inspiring! No actually that not true. It was that look of contempt Joyce gave me at the ACC road race in April - Yep i never quite got over it :lol: :lol:

TSN didn't have anyone in the SL Revolutions 5-Day - did they? In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a TSN rider in an E12 event. Do they have anyone experienced riding at that level?

Next season, I expect that ACC will have a lot more people racing regularly than TSN. Anyone wanting to ride as part of a team or to win stage races (where a team is needed) would IMHO be better off in ACC.

Nonetheless, I'm sure Adam has sound reasons for moving on and hope he has a good season too.

P.S. Did you sack him Paul or did he really decide to leave of his own accord?

how about a word from the man himself, a prolific forum poster, it nothing else :wink: Maybe Adam changed so he won't feel bad trying to outsprint some of the other ACCers, maybe some coaching thrown in? Anyway it'll be odd seeing him in the TSN colours, maybe more fashionable than the ACC tops, after all Adam is a man of style :wink:

Really sorry to see you go to another team Adam, you could have been a great domestique, mind you can still carry my bidon in the 2/3's :wink:

Hope next year is a great one for you and you have some more luck, hope to see you up in the 2nd cats shortly and make sure you get some great sprint Victories.

All the best
