Team Grumpy rules
1. Remember to make your excuses before the race, not after. Otherwise it will just sound pathetic.
2. Don't tinker with your bike the evening before the event. It will break, either then or, worse still, during the event.
3. If all else fails, buy some new bike kit.
4. And if rule #3 fails, new skinsuits are probably a good option.
5. Never train or race with a bad cough - it will destroy your entire season.
6. Tantrums are appropriate if provoked (e.g. by mechanical problems), but try to avoid damage to equipment
7. Team Grumpy riders are allowed to use whatever equipment they wish (and their wallets permit). However, the official team energy drink is pop belge.
