Welcome to the season 16 thread. I will try to post a weekly update of the standings (feel free to do it yourself when I forget). Let's discuss current affairs here.
Why can Capdeville be second in the ITT of yesterday? I do know, I'v seen his stats and we're all screwed in TT's unless we perform at 100% like Lixandriou did.
Be afraid, be very afraid Boivin is back in this league. So we know the winner of the Giro, Tour and Vuelta already...
I'm very glad with the 7th place of Ciobotaru yesterday, performing only at 60% he is the highest place rider with still 99% of fitness left.

I'm the Kindergardenteam in this league. No ambition at all this season. Just hoping and racing for no financial loss this year. From time to time I'll try to win a race. We'll see how that goes ...
The TT was a success! 3th place is more than I expected.
Not much to say yet ... To early for jumping into conclusions.

Hi guys glad to stay another season in this division. I was afraid to reach 2nd place at the end of last season. 2nd div would be too hard. Glad devils went all in and i saved fitness :-)
Dunno what to expect. Boivin is idd a pain in the ass, but i know some cyclists from hennerie and i must say, they have nice stats as well. We'll see what i can put against them. Nobody believed that canart was beatable in giro last season, well i nearly did so never give up... My perfect looks like this: couple of wins, earn some money and end on 3rd place.

My hopes were to win a race. I already did on day 3! Such a great start. Difficult to set specific goals ... Win as much as I can, to get some money so I don't turn bankrupt. Anyway it's impossible for me to battle for place 1 and 2. 4th place will be the highest possible. Because of my small competitive squad I will have to much races where I score 0 points. But that will be the price I have to pay for that. Looking forward to the giro to see what that Boivin guy can ...

bad luck today, came a few seconds short on Corneille, and only 2points in the mountain jersey. Anyway good start of the season and some nice €€€. Davy, not that boivin is godlike or whatever, he was just the strongest cyclist last season. He won easily. Canart took over when boivin went to hennerie. I know canart his stats, trust me, they are beatable:-) Hope i can get closer with mike his cyclist:-D

I believe I know the stats of Boivin. I know one thing for sure ... I wont beat him :-) That is up to you then! :-)
From my point of view the race went excellent today. I started dreaming when Malbranque was solo after the 2nd attackpoint. But the mountain was just to high ... Very happy with 3th place. Again more then I expected ... And 6th place in GC, and 3th and 4th in the points en mountain clas. Good $$$ ! ! ! !
First week is always difficult to know what to expect, but it looks like I will make profit this week! So I'm very happy.

I'll give it a try at least if i may take a guess, i would say a 7 flat, 7 hill, 15 mountain and 12 tt for boivin. Wont be far away from it i think

Team Kindergarten is No1 again For the last time this season ... I must admit that this season start was perfectly fit for my team. But with only 6 competitive riders, party is almost over ...

Oh we will see:-) good job. I noticed that you have got some nice hill riders. Sadly, thats my weak spot. Definately need to work on that. I wonder if Antwerp will go for promotion this season. Just like my team he played it cool last couple of races to avoid promotion. The way he is playing now, it looks like he is going for it. Dunno who he has got for the big tours? As for spot 2, i have to make sure hennerie and tower stay above me:-)

Antwerp and Hennerie have definitely a team that is good enough to do very well in div.2. It would be stupid if they wouldn't promote. But if they really don't want to, I'll be happy to take their place. Next year my kindergarten is ready for primary school, and prizemoney and supporters are bigger. But it would be a blame for the rest if they let me promote ...

To be honest, i doubt that. None of us got a team to be competitive in 2nd div. Look at the race results of today. 4,41 and 4,44 against 4,47 for antwerp. And if your not battling for the top spots, you will not be able to claim more prizemoney or more suporters.

I disagree completely.
Tosi would be 4th in 2.1 and 7th in 2.2 simply based on time. But Tosi would in div2 have some advantages of a faster riding peloton. And faster riding fellow-attackers. So his ending time would be for sure better then his 4.47 he did in div.3. In yesterday's race, he was the only serious 100% attacker.
Antwerp is for sure ready for div.2. If he continues like this, he will end the season with more then double number of points on number 2. He has a large core of good riders, so he scores every race again.
In div.2 your base supporters are bigger then in div.3, and they are growing faster than in div.3. So your basic income is bigger. And if you hold your horses in div.3 you lose a lot of prizemoney also.
And the most important reason, it's against all logical laws of sport. I wouldn't having fun in playing a game where the goal is try not to win, or even try to lose or finish "last".
And as for Hennerie ... If riders like Boivin, Veland and Capdeville can't race is div.2, nobody can!!! And if you don't use them to promote, they are 33yr old now, what was the point then of buying them?
So I'm looking forward to be in 2nd division next year. :-) With the prizemoney I win this year, I'm sure I can overcome 2 years of financial loss. And after those 2 years kindergarten isn't kindergarten anymore, and I start look at div.1 ... But perhaps I should not watch that far in time...

And if you hold your horses in div.3 you lose a lot of prizemoney also.you are correct 100% i m upset because 2 seasons ago i relegate from division 2.1 now div 2.1 and 2.2 are almost more easy then division 3 last season 3.3 was near or better then those 2 now the teams from 3.3 are : -lucero place 1 on 2.1 -naspa place 3 on 2.2 So promote is the best thing on 2.1 and 2.2 some teams are made from youngsters
