KRB announced shocking news today. Kim De Schutter is leaving the team for a short period. It's rumoured that he will take a break untill July 2002.

Kim De Schutter told us: "It's been a hard time for me personally and also for the team. First Andrew Joma left the team even before he started, and there are also other internal problems... Mariano Malisani is appointed as Assistent Manager and will take over the controls. I am confident that he will do a good job. I won't disappear totally, I will stay on the Governing Body and supervise Mariano but I will give him enough space to do his job well."

We were able to contact Mariano Malisani, he said the next: "I've been waiting for my big GPVWC chance to come, and finally, it came in the best way possible. Managing KRB for this period of time will be like my presentation card, and I hope to make the best out of it while being useful to the team's needs".
