Schizm;
I am stoked that you are organizing this. Kudos!
Yet another great element to the game.

For your information:
Los Molinaros has recently left the game. All the riders were sold off a few weeks ago.

Ooops would be the team you want to invite. His team is by far the strongest now left in the U.K. divisions.

Famous quotes:
I forget: The stronger the breeze, the stronger the trees.
Il Padrino, from Ambi's Signiture: Screw that! It's my game, I do what I like with it. If you don't like it, go play something else.

I'd create more all round races. Specialized teams now have an advantage.
	season 9: 1st in division 1.1 season 8: 1st in division 1.1 season 7: 1st in division 1.1 season 6: 1st in division 1.1 season 5: 1st in division 1.1 season 4: 4th in division 1.1 season 3: 2nd in division 2.3 season 2: 2nd in division 3.9 season 1: 1st in division 4.6

you should have received a pm about it, the same system used in peloton for the classics will be applied.

I don't see how specialized teams are advantaged. There are 4 different specialisations and 6 races for allrounders wich every time requires a different balance. Seems fair to me, but you are free to propose a better calendar. If the main goal of having as much different winning cyclists as possible, will be better suited with that calendar I will gladly put this one aside.

But the main question remains are you in or not ?

Nice proposal Schizm! I'm in! (Hans declercq foundation)
And i think you deserves a place in this "champions division"(as former division champion and organizer). So remove one of those bad teams and join the club.
The stage selection is well balanced i think...

thank you,
And no I wont participat but this is only for reigning (vice)-champions. Else it won't be a champions league at all, besides I think an organiser of such a competition can not really participate himself, so if I ever get to that second spot in our division, I will leave this to someone else.
Another thing every team here deserves respect because they are the best in their league, so please don't call them bad teams !

P.S. Looks like there is gone be a qualifcation race. Or it must be that Denmark won't participate that is the only country left were I wouldn't look for a replacing participant.
