well ok i raise... I bet on Marietto for the sprint, Joris for the finisher and Tappa for a long solo run... well we have Santos from Rats Well, if since have Santos and Evcont doesn't participate, this is my final list: *** Schnittjer, Marietto, ** Tappa, Gonnissen, Vigario, * Lanneau, Szekely, Bergene, Santos Really curious how many of these guys actually make it to the top 8. Arno, your predictions are iqual to the Pro Cycling Manager If there was a bet you would be the winner.

Pff, both of my main guys hit the ground, not good . And Veland takes another win for Franconia. Really bad start to this Tour. Lamego for the win tomorrow?

A little surprising I'm still on 3th place. But of course I like it, and I'll try all to stay there. Maybe too ambitious, I don't know, but I'll try for sure ! Droeftoeters en Franconia mostly grab the big points, so I think thats the reason why the gap for the 3 Italian musketeers is hard to close.
In the mean while, I'm breaking my head about the Giro: who to send, what tactics ... One more week for a good plan.
First Romandie, and I'm hoping there on 5th victory with Vanpeteghem. Just saw Rats team .. ufff: Devred - Caldelli - Bosschaert ... his best riders. I think the man to beat !
Good luck for all !

Good to see that Trgo is able to follow the big guys. A pity of his fall (?) in the final section. His sprint skill is quite okay..

Nice wins, guys!
Surprised to see Mickalski doing so much better than Capdeville today, I thought the latter would be better. I think I've underestimated the importance of length. Capedeville would be better as a climber, perhaps I should consider training him a bit in that area.

Finally my first win. That took me way too long. My motivation is dropping. After my seasonwin I sold most of my team to start and develop a new one. To do that, I hired a youthscout and trained him up to an expensive one.
Already spend millions on him. And he only pulls 19 years old guys. He only pulled 1(!) 18 yo since I sold all my riders. And that guy had dramatic secundairies. The youthscout should add something to the game. Well, it did. It added a lot of frustration. I wanted to have fun in developing a new team and accepted that it would take me probably ten seasons to be competitive again. Wanted to have fun in training. next week my scout decreases in skill and then I spend 4M and had no decent pull.
Bye bye motivation.

Yes I agree that scout should be finetuned but the only one with access to the code is IP, even Nikeboy didn't have access to him. Maybe I could get there is a question of trust by IP. I and Frank we try to do the best with limited information and we already achive many good things. We keep this game working better and now we just need to fix the bugs. I am a persisntent person and I will keep making IP change things

Youthscout isn't interesting for financial reasons, I just wanted the pulls for myself. Not a single decent one is killing. And I don;t aske for much. Just an 18 year old with secundairies 9-7 would have been sufficient, even with 8 skillpoints I would have been happy. I have a 10-15-20 scout. So not the cheapest one.

Understand the frustration, but why not just but the 18 year old's on the Transfer List? Even if you pay 400k for a guy with decent secondaries it's still a lot cheaper than the youth scout. In my view there's really no added value of having that guy on your payroll, especially since it's indeed far from guaranteed you will get some decent pulls.
Or do you really really want your guys to be fully homegrown with Dutch Nationalities?

Or do you really really want your guys to be fully homegrown with Dutch Nationalities? No, I don't care about nationality. It is just that I wanted to have 18 yo with acceptable secundaries in the beginning of the season. A lot of 18 yo on the transfermarket have really bad secundaries. That is why i calculated to have a scout with perception 20 at the beginning of the season. So I would have a pick every week. Since it is 18 or 19, I thought I would have 50% 18 yo and with a scout 10 on steering/balance the chance of acceptable st/ba is also 50%. So 25% of a chance was acceptable. And of cours, if there is a great 18 yo I would have bought him. But most of the managers have a scout with bad st/ba skill.
