Except for Falex I don't really know most of the teams. There seems to be some very decent competition though and quite a number of Flat Teams. Will be an interesting season for sure!
Good luck guys!

I can safely say that this is the toughest division I have ever been in, either in version one or two. Good luck, everyone.

It is very difficult to determine the level of difficulty of this division.
I hope to finish in a position to be promote.
What is your force ? up ? down ?
I have a team for mountain. And very bad for flat race.
Good luck, everyone

Fine to see our Div is active! ;D
I've got a bit of mountain and a bit of flat. But clearly not enough to win Lombardia nor Paris-Tours.
I allready noticed that this is really a tough Div.
As there are only two races passed there is not yet much to say. Only it's gonna be hard to promote.
I'll be happy to be runner up of the two teams to promote.
Good luck everyone.

My main focus (again) will be the flat stages this season, but I'm also hoping for some decent results from the climbers I bought in the past 3 months. All will depend on the strenght of the other climbers in our division though.
So far it has been a very decent start to the season. Lombardia didn't bring me much, but I was very happy to grab the win in Tours. This gives me high hopes of being a top contender again in the flat stages this season. The win in Zurich was bonus, although Marietto already showed last season he can win this race.
The Vuelta will be very interesting and will give us a peek at the top climbers in our division. Looking forward to it!

I think I got lucky to win finally a stage. Our Droeftoeter is a big winner. Many congratz Droofy ;-) It's gonna be hard this season to promote. Hope to win a few other races with a little bit of luck.

Yes, it's hard to take a good place here.
But we ara just at the begenning of the season. The invidual classement is a view of the division's density

Three mountains stages in the last 3 days, 3 different teams taking the win. Also quite a bunch of riders finishing in the same time, there seems to be a nice balance between the mountain teams. So far Nassi is doing a good job, not sure if he can hang in there though once the really hard stages come.
Looking forward to the next 2 stages in Poland, too much mountains in Spain for my team!

Had a good first week 7 flats and 3 falls 2nd week was better 2 flats and 1 fall ;D BUT: First victory and a mountain jersey. I hope Brouillet will keep it up to the end of the Vuelta. Hope it will be better next week. Less flats and falls and more victories. I doubt it if Nassi will remain at the lead, but hey he is the best youngster and once the race is flat he is hardly to beat by the other youngsters and the elder. Looking forward to the mountains...

I am counting on a win for tomorrow. Still have a bit of hope for the general classification as well. Marietto is the first rider still on 95% and his flat skills are quite decent.
Nice wins by the way, chakra. Good to see that picking a stage and going all-out is getting rewarded. Good lesson for some of the other teams in our division I would say.

Pilet is still on 95% and have 10 more points, but I have no illusion, I just hope take the Second place for yellow jersay

Ah, sorry gege, looks like I didn't look properly! What are you guys hoping to accomplish in the Tour de France? Apart from going for a few flat wins I am especially curious what my 5-2-7 guy will be able to do. He might do a decent classification, I am just a bit afraid he will mis the boat in both the flat and mountain stages though.

Thanks for the congratz eboese. Fine victory 4 in a row! WOW! It was the way I thought it would be. But nevertheless I hoped for more. So your 5-2-7 did well. Ponsteen And gege did what he hoped for second in time jersey. Nice done Concentrating on a specific race is what I noticed allready the second or thirth week. But I thought I could have a good classification in the tours by racing at normal level. (70-75 or 85). That really sucked with you guys! Or ladies? So I've got to do something. The only thing I was really scared of in the Deutschland Tour was the one point in advance to Ost of Falex. Flats won't be my thing this season. Still some mountain training and preparing for sprint. So promotion to 2nd Div will not be for this season.
