He did manage to save enough in the tank to scrape home inside the top 50. Not sure, but that could be his best result of the season?

Best result since he finished 47th in the 2024 edition of the Mercan Tour 1 day race.

Lots of these guys are late 20s,30s to mid 30s get paid small stipend, equipment, travel, equipment.. but if team folds there is nothing, it's just over. Many riders have jobs..maybe served you coffee or food at a cafe, despite being a " professional bike racer"
This team has club in the name.. All guys racing against Trolls
