first of all, welcome Angelo. I have never spoken with you before, nice to see you chatting in our Division thread. However, your first post here is not a very sympathetic one. I feel that you are full of anger. But I have to go with bosko here. No one ever said or hoped that Rios would get injured. No one ever complained about fitness training. We all share different opinions. We all play the game the way we decide and we want it. This forum helps everyone to ventilate his ideas or frustrations in a respective way. The way you react here to chakra doesn't make you very popular. He just asked if the risk is bigger now while using fitness training, which really is after some modifications done by the GM. Lucky for you it doesn't really effect Rios. What are you so mad about anyway? You have 5 victories, 5 jerseys so far? Place 2 on GC. You are one lucky guy Rios is still there. Chakra lost his best cyclist during the update, same with bosko, Headcase lost Branco, I sold mine last season, Joop is selling them this season. So dame fortune is on your side this season, he is one of the last men standing. Instead of being annoyed you should be happy with every victorie you can pull out of him. It's up to us to find a way to beat him. In the end, it's only a stupid internet game people... If tomorrow this game is gone, I wouldn't leave any sleep for it. Being annoyed for not winning a race, or missing a transfer... I will never understand it Chakra, about the form influence. Did they attack at the same point? I assume Vits was the form 10? Strauss did what I expected, take the win at 85%. I really wonder how far he will come against Rios. And Bosko, the two mountain stages at the end of the Giro will not be decisive I think. The gap will be too big for the real mountaineers to strike back in those last 2 stages. By then I expect that the differences will already be made. Ogh and yes Quiller, Nice win. congrats. That only leaves Dan to take at least 1 victorie this season. Go for it stallion

Vroompie, you are right. Vits = 10, Van Eynde = 7. There was a difference in AP'S between Vits and Van Eynde. But still a big difference in time too.

Sad to here that. Got an injured too, also a competitor for the Giro. Fortunately it is not my best cyclist. He's got a broken finger and will be out for one week. So he will compete next stages: Tour of California.

So he will compete next stages: Tour of California. So… They were training on the same bike? Reden: his finger somehow got stuck in his front wheel.

Before the first big tour, the Tour de Yorkshire is on our menu. With a sprint stage, a flat stage (besides 1 pimple) and a rather mountainous stage (to British standards), it has a varied profile. My personal goals: podium in 2 stages, GC and YC. Hm... that might be aiming a bit to high...

Damned, than I will lose my 6th place in GC!! My goals for TdY: Top 5 in all stages. (OMG, will that be possible???) GC of TdY: top 10, points top 10 and mountain top 10 No Youth ranking. Giro... really don't know yet, since probably my best cyclist will brake his finger. Good Luck Bosko! Wednesday I will be celebrating the 8th anniversary of Team ALESANA. It would be nice if I could win that day. But I'm sure there are teams in our Div that will not let this happen.

Writing down in team notebook: BARNSLEY-BEDALE: Just follow Becucci!

BARNSLEY-BEDALE: Just follow Becucci! I guess it is too flat. There should be more bubbles in it. But I give him a chance. Between place 4 and 10 in our Div ranking only 270 points the difference. Never have seen a battle so close. A stage win, a good position in a tour and the whole ranking can be different. (between 4 and 10) Arsenal, GIK and Joop fighting for promotion. Or should I leave Arsenal out of these three and say GIK and Joop battling for final promotion spot. Today we are going to see the sprinters in action. One of my best has signed in for another tour, somewhere in Italy. The Tour of Italy or something like that .

Whoops! sprinters made contact with earth Terrible race, glad they did not get injured. It would be a contact with a motard. Nice win Bosko.

i was hoping for a result for Moretto, well, that didn't go as planned:D Carpi seems to one to beat in the future, certainly flat sprint stages
I would say Arsenal is gone already, and Gik seems certain to take the 2nd promotion spot. Joop lost too much quality the passed couple of weeks. Still can't believe he received 5m for buglia :S
my goals the upcoming weeks: none. Haha:-)

Wednesday I will be celebrating the 8th anniversary of Team ALESANA. It would be nice if I could win that day. But I'm sure there are teams in our Div that will not let this happen. I warned my guys, but they simple weren't able to follow Becucci and Bertram. Congrats with the well deserved birthday present! btw: did you know you have a twin-team in our league? Today the decisive race. I slightly hope Maffei can fight for the Time Jersey, but Zoeters (JOOP Cycling Team) will be normally be too strong and fresh.

no, really Chakra, no real ambition for giro. Havent even figured out my line up yet. My guys just aren't ready yet. I hope to score with niculaie and Veller every now and then, but that will depend on other teams line up's. We'll see. I still have to make some room in my squad, the upcoming weeks I have to analyze with who I want to continue
