[24] 3.1

[ElGringo]

Hi there,

don´t know if some of the manager from div 3.1 use to come here and speak.

We have a multinational division with 3 continents represented.

From Europe:

4 Belgium teams - Trapper123 ( we already play together in some seasons in div 2.2 and 2.1), Bartoli CT, BlijeBen and Berdios Pro Cycling( play in div 3.2)

3 Dutch teams - Ypenburg Racing, dirks toppers and The Agents

2 Italian teams - Antares and StreetFighters ( paly in div 2.1)

1 Portuguese team - me

From America

1 Usa Team - The Coolness Factor

From Africa

1 Eritrea Team - Tio Elite Sports Team

Don't know much from the division, saw that the Italian teams pull the brake in the end of last season

Will keep an eye o Trapper best rider, Car with only 32Y and a mountain specialist. Seems a team that watching the riders age that wants to step up to division 2 if he wants.

Dinis Infante from Antares is another one to keep an eye, a flat specialist. Seems a strong team with some rider over 30 that can take win, points and money.

And the 3rd best rider of last season Madoe from streetfighters seems an allround rider that already reach is max of potencial and now will lose skills.

All rider from top10 are here, except for the ones that got promotion.

Only 2 Dutch teams with fitness trainer, dirks toppers and The Agents.

My goal is to win stages and see if my riders between 25/28y can compete well with others.

Wish all manager the best luck for this season

Hi, thanks for the forum post. My Ambition is top 5. Lets see how it goes . I'm currently on holiday so I'll chat more when I'm back.

Hi All, so we have 11 active teams. It seems like a had competition to stay on top and to stay in. With the first 3 weeks behind us we already see 3 teams standing out, Dirk Toppers looks the best candidate for promotion back to 2th division, after 6 seasons in 2:2 9th place caused demotion. Myself, I demoted 2 seasons ago from 3th division, I tried to ride with only young cyclist and a healthy mix of ages but failed to stay in 3:2 for the second time :/. Last season in 4th was productive, lots of wins but not a lot of fun. Back in 3th I bought some cyclist to keep up with the top and maybe try to promote to 2th for the fist time with this team. We will see. Melres United also jojo's between 1st, 2th an 3th for a few seasons, we already met in 3:2 a few seasons back ;-).

After the top 3 we see 3 teams within 15 points, Antares seems to take it easy, after 10 seasons in 4:2 he now starts his 6th season here in 3:1. StreetFighters had a quick start of his career after promoting 3 times in 3 seasons and 3 seasons 2:1 he seems to be building a team here. The Coolness Factor 5th season in 3:1 2 times 6th in a row, is he going for the triple? If so, he is doing very good .

Tio Elite Sports Team with dutch superstar Mick Randaxhe and talent Koen Coel already claims the place as best cyclist in the division. Trapper123 goes way back in this game, he was here in peloton 1.0 and active from the start of Peloton 2.0. Like Melres he goes up and down, 4th year in 3th now, lets se if he can stay.

BlijeBen puts youth first, with just one oldy (only 32) the 24y old Peter Verledens seems to be the leader of the pack. Bartoli CT is the guardian of the 3:1 division with his 8th season in a row, can he manage to stay on another season?

Good luck to all, we will be back with updates . I send all manager a PM so lets hope we get some activity here. Always a added value to the game ;-)

Berdios you are making a fine season till now. Seems that Dirks toppers is the best one but the Italian have very good riders too.

Berdios you are also making a nice new team, I keep an eye on POL DE BAEDTS(he is in my shortlist), Senechal
is another one that seems a good rider for white jersey.

[berdios]

Indeed, try to do it with a lot of rides from my own scout. Now I get to the point where I have to sell cyclist if I want to keep full training capacity. But although its a game, its hard to sell my cyclist .

Senechal is actually not my best 25y old if I see the total skills, Gabriels and Quidot train better atm .

Today's race, Dwars door Vlaanderen, Randaxhe of Tio Elite Sports Team keeps up the good form and takes his 2th victory of the season and confirms his ambition for best rider in the division .

Last week was a nice week in the virtual cycling e-sport .
With 6 classics on the schedule in France, Netherlands and of course Belgium.
Wins in the divion for George Cazander (StreetFighters), Dinis Infante (Antares), Danila Plesu (Antares), Alexandru Istok (dirks toppers) and my own Tibe Lorson. The dubble win taks Antares in the divions standings to spot 3 so Merles has to be happy with 4th place.

In the last few races only 8 teams of the 11 active partivipated, hopefully the other managers still join in the competition.
