Hi all, we have raced a bit, lets start meeting each other Flandria, welcome to the group, hope you find the game as entertaining and enjoyable as I´ve done. Cmatasa, a pity not to see you in the Giro, you´re really squeezing your riders Schizm, will you let me win any time jersey? And Mercatone, good work, with some extra riders you could be at the top. Pannenkoeken, looks to be lost, hope he finds the way back to Peloton, its much nicer to compete with real managers than those bots. Good luck all, see you in the road!!!

Have to admit: I was lost for a short while indeed (private matters took up all my time), but I'm back! Which is supported by my team currently carrying both the yellow and green jersey in the TDF Wait... are those mountains at the horizon? So far for the yellow jersey then ;D Anyway, good luck to all of you!

Must have missed the original post somehow. Pannenkoeken is back indeed, and how I noticed it because Boissy is still in front. Welcome back kkrriiss. But I hope Bochet can survive the mountains better then him. Krawczyk probably won't and the rest of the team is to far down. Green and Polkadot seem also lost so I will stick with trying to win the yellow and the white jersey (Since the top 6 for white is also the top 6 for yellow that will be an obvious combination). So I guess there will still be no timejersey for you Champadero I am aiming for 10 so I gues you have to try and win the one that is left Good luck to all !

Nice win for Fernandez-Garcia today, even a flat tire couldn't stop him, congratulations Champadero. Bochet takes the yellow jersey as expected, but it wasn't a good day for my team, Zaoui fell and got injured, Krawczyk fell to and lost more time as expected and Bregge had a flat tire so didn't compete in the mountain sprints after that point. I sure hope Bochet can stay on his bike in the last 4 stages.

I'm just aiming to bring home the green jersey and maybe (maybe!) take another victory, but we'll see about that...

That green jersey should be no problem , stagewin I don't know but it won"t be tomorrow ... I just saw that in the Alpe D'huez stage Fernandez-Garcia of Zapardiel scored the 3th best time of the game (so my Bregge became 4th , he is only 19 looks like you got a future superstar there Champadero.

Fdez. Garcia looks good, but was on 100% effort that race, so I suppose it was more normal to do such a great time My first idea was trying to go for TdF yellow with him, but he lost too much time in the 2 first flat stages, so Matos become my underdog. I already shot all my bullets, so now I just can hope tired Matos will be able to mantain the yellow jersey against fresh Bochet in the last stage, but I feel it will be very hard. Schizm, it was a pity Christinel´s injury, wonder what would have happened with him racing... And Kkrriiss, great work with Tirez on the green jersey, you had it already in your pocket at mid TdF.

I hope Bochet can take the yelllow back but the results in the TT didn't give me lots of confidence. You wouldn't have stole it since you gave everything you got for that win. Tirez (Green) and Matos (Polka-dot) are already sure of a jersey. Bochet and Matos have to fight for the yellow and the white in the final race. It will be a thriller

It really wasn't a thriller was it, the fitness advantage payed off massively; Must be very disappointing being so close to a first tour win again (!) ... better luck next time, Champadero ! Just looked back at the results in this years tours and I must admit I certainly have had my share of luck , winning tours over you by 18, 10, 3 or even 0 seconds !!!, and of the two I didn't get you lost one with 8 and the otherone again with 0 seconds, Maybe sunday will be your day, when we know how a new episode in the battle between Alarcon and Christinel turns out ... again the best of luck there !

Well, you all completely crushed me in the Tour, but at least I was able to do well in Vattenfall to make up for it (slightly). Of course I really have no idea what I'm doing so I'm guessing you all had your teams with their best riders for the tour leaving secondary riders for the post-tour races. There is a lot less strategy involved in 1-day races... which seems to work for me.

Congratz on your victory yesterday. You are doing quite well considering that you started 7 weeks after the start of the competition. At the moment 7 (out of 11) weeks is still a lot but that difference will fade on the long term. Well I wouldn't have thought I would see 4 managers of our division active on the forum. Escpecially since the division seemed not very active at the start of the season.
My team for the Vuelta is set, Monnot and Raguet (1 and 2 in Catalunya), will be my main competitors for the golden jersey. Bregge for one of the others. As always I expect a lot of competition from Zapardiel.
P.S. : Happy birthday Kkrriiss !

Cool to have you here to hilight when our division performs well in a stage. My Vuelta team is pretty much going to stage hunt I think. I really haven't figured out how to manage the effort in grand tours and I don't really think I have a rider on my team built to contend in any of the jersey competitons. Yamaki is close, but a time trialer he is NOT (as in he has the worst TT on my team). Due to acting too quickly once I started my team, I made some decisions with my trainer and signing new riders that probably weren't ideal. For the next season or so I think that will mean my focus will be on the shorter tours and 1-day races and I'll be a total non-factor in the grand tours.
