Just got an email from PJ Rabice, actually written by Jared Meltzer, announcing that Jose Azevedo will be leaving the team at the end of this season. Although he has one year left on his contract, a mutual agreement was reached so that he could return home to Portugal and spend more time with his family. Evidently, he will continue to race there with a local-type team.

So we will lose Ace and Triki, Jurgen Van de Broeck, Leif Hoste and Eki (Eki to become a DS for the team). I heard something about Guennadi leaving, but no confirmation yet. Seems that I am forgetting a name or two, so give me a shout-out if you know others who will leave at the end of this season.
