What you expect? He is Russian.

At least Kolobnev sold his for 100 000 Euros. It was still cheap for their standards.

So why did you stop racing Gary? Had enough?

Racing is life. Everything else is just waiting.

Competing priorities. Presently, racing falls towards the bottom of the list. You'll understand why fairly soon. I'll pick it back up later this year, all things going well. I miss it, but just don't have the will to commit to the training I know I need do to be competitive, and for me it's all about being competitive.

To put down a team because they are proactive, make contacts, stay innovative and remain dedicated is a bit of a shame and shows a lack of understanding of how hard it is to get (and keep) sponsors, as well as some of that green streak of petty jealousy.

That's right, great work by Chris. It takes a lot of dedication and funds to do what he is doing...

... yet, they really need to work on the kit designing part of the venture!

I get that Gary. I have four kids under 10 so I understand how far you have to spread yourself sometimes and that can affect the quality of anything you do. I also echo the positive comments on what Mainline are doing for local racing. It can only help to raise the standard.

I think Chris should send me a free kit for those comments too by the way otherwise the next ones might not be so flattering

It's pretty obvious Mainline are the team to beat so yes, Chris and the team are to be commended on their dedication and effort.

As for the negative comments - we're all just jealous

Although the kit still stinks, it's an incredible step up from an atrocity they were wearing last year :-] I couldn't even race in masters all year because of that :-/

Niko,

With all due respect - u often look like the arse end of a beaten badger - and you've got bad hair.

So stop with the wardrobe nonsense - everyone knows Russians cant dress themselves - not even their mums can!

Last years was better, except for the cartoon water drop character. At least last years kit stood out quite noticeably in the bunch, which is what you want from the marketing perspective.

I didn't even notice Mainline new kit until halfway through the race when I saw the person and thought it was odd that he was no longer wearing his kit, until a closer observation made me realise they are in a new kit. Dohhhh...

Kit better than last year, but loose those black socks FGS. Otherwise you will always look like Palookas, no matter what kit it is.

But good luck to you guys. I see, you have height requirement to joint the team

Mainline Racing Team would like to thank Toowoomba Cycling Club and TimeLine Drafting for putting on a great weekend of racing for the Oakey 2day event, first time for the team on the new Toowoomba circuit and what a fantastic venue for racing. Check out Mainline Racing Team site for team results.

Also new rider spotlight for the month. CM

Watched all the racing on both days & with the exception of the elite kermesse mainline dominated the higher ranks. We were watching with 1 of the junior riders & its was really good to show him how a good team races.
You guys deserve all the good results you get, congratulations.

On a side note what was the reasoning behind the reversed kit, 2 teams or just ran out of ink at the printers?

Oh & its no longer the Oakey 2day, now the TLD Toowoomba 2 day. but we will let that slide.
