Two remarks:
1) Tomorrow is a sprint race, no attacks possible. So Attacker is pointless. 2) Setting a rider at 70% uses 5% fitness, 80% -> 15% fitness, 85% -> 20% fitness, 100% -> 35% fitness. Each week (Sunday 20:00 CET) cyclists gain 20% fitness. Since there are no other races this week for you, set your riders either at 85% or (your final sprinter) 100% (in that case keep him rested next week).

Hmm, I need to go through the excel sheet and race stuff more - I seem to have confused something here.
Thanks for the tips, will make changes.

Jadax, welcome to the game. First competitor of India. Great!
With the selling prices mentioned above you will sell supportersmaterial half of the amount of your total supporters you'll have on Sunday after the race. So if you've got 5000 supporters after the race, you will sell 2500 items of all the articles. (2500 bidons, 2500 shirts etc...)
You did good with your trainer.
Try to buy some decent but cheap cyclists to be competitive with the other teams. But keep your financials healthy! Make your prognose on how much to buy on supportersmaterial and how much you will sell. What's the cost of your trainer, your cyclists etc...
Good luck with your team.

Thanks chakra Should I be looking for a certain age max, or should I go for whomever is <10k (even 35yr olds), since these seem to be the most common and cheap ones.

Even 38/39 year olds are ok to buy, as long if he's good enough to get good results this season. Apart from price, you should also check salary. Personally I think it's not worth to pay >10k salary for a cyclist with less than about 38 points primary skills (others do though). And grats on your first points

Don't buy these elder ones for too much money. From 36 years they decrease in transfer value, and so their skills every week.
Skill decrease goes down not by a point, but buy fractions. I had a 36yrs decreasing in 3 skill points in just 8 weeks. So be carefull.
A new bought cyclist has a contract of 45 weeks. So I would go for the "younger" ones up to 32 yrs.

It will be hard to get good cyclists under 33 years for cheap though. It is easier to get old cyclists for cheap, since not many teams want them. Do note that you can sell or just fire cyclists if you do not need them anymore.

guess not. Some new managers need a week email to remind them to play the game. I had to format my computer because of a virus and I din't had time to install again the tool to check the emails of the playing managers in the db. I will try to do it this weekend and I will send an email to all with next week info's.
