Ode to Darian Hadfield

Written by 1 2 Cycle at 14:54 22/3-2015

  Retirement day has come for Darian Hadfield, Darian is and will be 1 2 Cycle's all time hero. Darian is by far 1 2 Cycle's most successful rider ever and one of the best cobblers in the history of OCM.
  
  About 13 seasons ago Darian joined 1 2 Cycle with very promising potentials. His training started immediately and the dream of manager Marakus came to reality... a high max and great skills with a whooping 289 cobble points! At that time and for many seasons to come the highest ever seen!
  
  Darian got one result after the other not only scoring in cobble races but sprinting stages as well. Single-handed he got the team to division 2. After staying in division 2 for a few seasons manager Marakus made a devastating choice and sold Darian to Equipe Hollandia... Marakus regretted the sale right after and and his new team became inactive. The worst thing that could happen has happened. Even though the manager didn't gave up on Darian and kept sending messages to Equipe Hollandia in the hopes it would reach there manager, and it did!
  
  On the 3th day of September 2013 Darian returned home! It felt like a lost child finding his way back home, a remarkable day! 4 more seasons he was 1 2 Cycle's captain after which he became Manu's mentor teaching him the tricks of the trade.
  
  Darian is 36 years old now and had a rich history even despite the lost seasons at Equipe Hollandia. Sadly enough he never road the TVA as captain his and his manager's dream. We still are sure he could of won it multiple times. But the time has come to say goodbye as an active rider... Meaning Darian will retire as a rider but will continue his services within 1 2 Cycle as it's main trainer and coach!
  
  A few stats:
  
  46 results:
  17 Wins!
  12 Second!
  13 Third!
  4 other!
  
  And is skills and potentials (so they never may be forgotten):
  
  Name: Darian Hadfield
  Nation: England
  
  Age: 36 years
  Birthday: Day 67
  
  Races for national team: 14

  DH: None (33)
  HL: None (27)
  SP: Average (68)
  FR: Good (70)
  CB: Good (75)
  TT: None (40)
  TQ: Good (76)
  
  Potential:
  CL: None
  DH: Good
  HL: Small
  SP: Average
  FR: Good
  CB: Good
  TT: Average
  TQ: Good
  
  A sad day to let you go, Darian but we have not seen the last of you! At least 10 more seasons as a trainer but infinite seasons as our teams Hero! Darian we love you!
