MASSIVE week for De Ludo's, 5 out of 6 stage wins. Unsurprisingly this means everyone elses weekly points total looks poor. Zapardiel does gain some ground on the teams above, but not enough.

Great work guys, I cant say the same from myself, time to sell my best rider to continue alive in the game. Already accepting I will get relegated, I wish to win at least one stage more, but looks like I am not able against you.
Congratz Hüsker Dü on your superb season, interesting to see who will get the other promotion spot, and also the 2 relegation spots left.

(you've added Dezza's new points number to P&Ps old one (they swapped placed this week) and vice versa, so the numbers in brackets are wrong. I added up last night and was gonna post today but haven't got around to it yet...if you sneaky edit your post, I'll edit this one to something else and no-one will know )

But you also quoted me so we can't do the sneaky edit no-one knowing thing, haha. Ah wells. A surprise Feringa win in the Giro TT this week just about pushed that tour into average territory, it was distinctly mediocre previously. One more win to 100 Race for 2nd looks fun. I know Elite reads here, does either other manager? I'm just interested to know if all 3 of you are actually trying to get promoted. Santillian got to 5m! Didn't expect that. I semi considered entering a bid at about 2.5. Hope you keep playing Champadero, thanks for the congrats. I also agree with what Rarau said on the last page, I'd be bringing your trainer wage down. I've just put a 37 total skill on the market, kinda tempted to throw a few more up there as they're at 100% but won't be used in either tour this week. Would be silly given I still have spare training spots though, I'm just being bored/impatient/feeling some early onset 1:1 anxiety. "Nooo, sell all of these riders, they'll be useless!", swim in your cash, pretend it makes you happy, blahblahblah... On a 3rd transfer market point - I'm annoyed I forgot about The Nikeboys two flat riders ending last night, they went cheap and I think I would've bought at least one of them. There's some consolation in the fact I won't be racing against either next season I guess. I had set my initial squads for these tours, but I may have changed my mind. 2 chances to win a Time Jersey left, I think I have to put my best rider in Cdl'E and not the Vuelta just to have a go at that. 3 stages in 1 week though, tactics will be tricky. We'll see...I'm not even sure who I'd use at the moment.

I was thinked that 2 or 3 mil is the maxim bid on this days on transfer list. But perhaps are not enough good cyclists on transfer list. I supposed that users dont have money but i was wrong. Pfff ... i need to change my training plan then You like Nike cyclists? If i remember good no one ring a bell for me ... but who knows probably i'm wrong.

I can't exactly recall, one was 13 flat and decent sprint / tt. The other 12 flat and maybe similar. Nothing special, but worth the price they went for I thought.

Yes, I try! Not to promote, but to get the best of it. I'd be happy with 3k points, as I said.

last 3 weeks and I need to gain +85 pts on lambs&lions does not seem so mutch but you all know it is We'll be doing our best and the squad is looking good. Moise: GC man, will do his best offcourse His strong point is hill-mountain Barra: my steady helper Lebret: leader, but because it's his last for the season, he will also be attacking now and then.. he's not used to it but he might surprise us Eliade: took care of TTT yesterday and let others rest, he's allready empty and won't be doing mutch untill week 3 maybe Ziegler: mountain man mostly, he'll be climbing in front of our squad.. only don't know who he will be in front of in the peloton Hoping for a good classification for Moise and also one stage, we are hoping Ziegler will take care of it.. not very convinced though average skill for the team: 6,0 - 5,80 - 7,20 - 3,30 - 5,70 - 7,40

My average skills: 6.4 - 6 - 8.4 - 1.4 - 3.4 - 9
I really struggled to decide on the 5th man for this tour, which ended up being Del Santo, I'm not convinced he's a potential stage winner but he might have a go in one or two stages. Van Thuyne and Iorga, 5th and 8th in the GC in the Giro earlier this season will try to get into the top 10 again, one of Gisriel (14th Giro) and Ragar should end up being my 3rd placed GC rider, it depends what I do tactically.
Plan? One or two stages would be nice but big tours are tough for my squad. I lack sprint here obviously, makes winning any of the secondary jerseys difficult. Should be up there for the team jersey again, maybe?
btw, team jerseys won so far this season in our division (just because they're not recorded anywhere): Me - 4 P & P - 2 De Ludo's - 2 Fonchia - 2 J.M. J - 1 Dezza - 1 Pele - 1 lambs - 1
Quite nicely spread out, maybe shows I have decent cyclist depth but lack excellent individuals? (which the averages show too, and the fact I tend to pick up wins in the smaller tours..)

There won't be a time jersey for me this season then Too many riders at 95%+ ahead of my 3 separated by 2 seconds (this squad is too similar? haha, pfft) In better news I just made my best captain my highest paid rider. Still only 14k a week from the original demand of 51k. This has moved his mood from pleased to happy, and I got the full 75 weeks length too
