Since we have an active division i hope the managers of our division will find this topic. We have some strong teams and it will be a hard battle for promotion. Current standings: 1. Wisigoths 13th 4 2 0 1 1207 2. Team Camargue 3 1 0 2 1199 3. Kingstown 2 0 0 0 777 4. Thorax 1 0 1 0 732 5. Gouden Leeuwen 4 0 1 0 645 6. kanikoerski 1 0 0 0 484 7. Team Leopard-Trek 1 0 1 0 458 8. de leutemakers 0 0 0 0 4 9. Australian Warlord 0 0 0 0 0 10. Team Nenne 0 0 0 0 0 The French Teams are definitely the best at the moment and i think they are the favourites too for the upcoming Giro. I hope to grab some points in a couple of stages. (TT and ITT) Funny to see how Leopard without a trainer is still holding on so far.

A strong division indeed. It seems there are 5 teams fighting for the 4 promotion spots. The upcoming Giro is one of my objectives, I hope my early leader Sintes continues his domination in the mountains. I have no idea how much time we will in the time trials though, definitely not our strengths. Call us the Schlecks of Peloton!

And Kingston, thanks for starting this thread. A very good idea.
(my only concern is the language issue. Is everybody able/willing to communicate in english?)

The time you'll lose in the TT's will easily be made up in the mountains. I'm trying to get some points in Romandie and let you guys fight it out in the Giro. I hope my 18-year old supertalent Barbez (allready 4 in flat) will win enough intermediate sprints there to do something nice in the points classification. Languae i don't know....we have 5 Belgian Teams and i hope they find their way over here and if English is a poblem for them we have to find a solution. My French is very poor btw.

A completely unexpected win today in L-B-L. Gives me a little extra space with the Tours coming up. Haven't checked other times, but don't expect 6:47:38 to be worldwide as good as we did in La Fleche Wallonne. Standings after L-B-L: 1. Wisigoths 13th 4 2 0 1 1297 2. Team Camargue 3 1 0 2 1223 3. Kingstown 3 0 0 0 907 4. Thorax 1 0 1 0 762 5. Gouden Leeuwen 4 0 1 0 645 6. kanikoerski 1 0 0 0 526 7. Team Leopard-Trek 1 0 1 0 458 8. de leutemakers 0 0 0 0 4 9. Australian Warlord 0 0 0 0 0 10. Team Nenne 0 0 0 0 0

hi mates!
Indeed a very strong division! My team isn't that strong, certainly not on the flat races, their I don't have a chance. Today so much bad luck. 4 flat tires and 3 of them have 10+ steering!
My goal for the giro is to win at least one race, but it will be hard.

Maybe a stupid question Fred , but what is your team? I think Thorax, but couldn't figure that out for sure.

Lol....very clear! About the flat tires and falls...i've got a couple of riders that are having the same problem, like they have a very bad variable. I'll start selling them the upcoming weeks/month, which in some cases is too bad, because some of them are having nice stats and good results if they stay on the bike, but if 3 out of 4 times they don't, it's time to say goodbye.

Heh, I had exactly the same problems today. 5 flats tires. Probably all those cobblestones up there in Belgium!!! At least, it improves their steering stats!!!
I'll probably be selling a couple of them as soon as they pop too...

He's at 1!!! which is a shame, because he is pretty good otherwise. Sadly, he'll have to go in the first batch of cyclists I sell...

Probably will sell him after Romandie or maybe train untill he's 4 flat and sell him then if there's also a little extra money in the game in total. Any expectations for Romandie btw? I hope to grab some points with Barbez and Ghuisoland, the others are there for XP.

Very bad start in Romandie. 2 flat tires for my best cyclists plus a fall + injury for Gamez. (bravery 14). Barbez managed to get some points in the intermediate sprints before he got his flat, so hopefully he stays on his bike tomorrow and grab some more.

Well, we manage to win the Tour de Romandie without winning a single stage. I guess consistency was the key here.
Next up, the first big tour with the Giro. After the way Sintes started the season, his minimum objective will be the mountain jerey but I'm really hoping he can win the Pink jersey.
