Good Luck to everybody I hope to finish in the first 8 places and don't relegate. This year we can split the competition in 3 parts: Dutch, Italians and Rest of Europe Rats div.1 season 7 Not relegate? You were fighting for second place till the last day behind EGV who doesn't play actively anymore. Then not relegating is a very cautious target. Altough I do agree with you that now before we start, all teams seem to be very close to each other. The calendar is more mountain than last year and less hilly. I like the new calendar since hill is my weakest skill. I don't know yet the strength of Pucasu, but I probably will soon. As for today I bet my money on an Italian or German victory.

I think it ill be exciting! There is no favourite for the title and there are no weak teams. Only thing sure is that EGV will finish last.

There is only one real mountain U21 race. Others are more multiskilled so I don't agree with Rarau. Last seasons it was mostly flat, so this year mountain is no problem.
I do agree with Bart. 22nd as the first race is absurd. I think that should be at least the 15th. Maybe even next monday.

This game is only about FINANCES If you put some NEW teams in a difficult group he will bankrupt very fast. Don't think for managers from division 1 or 2 or for PC servers. Think for new teams. If you want that a division in 6 or 7 to have 2 users active, ok, but no more. For Ab Normaal => if you want to HELP, then give them an email with advices and a link with this forum. I give some emails on teams if i see they make mistake even are in division 4 or better (especially on trainer, transfers) You want a good division? In my 4.8 we was active only 7-8 teams and from that only 3 know how to play peloton. We could make a topic for mentors, a mentor to have 1-3 groups from div 5-7, we could do a lot to help but NOT put 8 teams active in some group. p.s. for all who will answers on this topic, told us if you play other team browser manager or not. For example hattrick, rugbymania, do and so on. With all due respect, that is not what I meant. I help all new Dutch and Belgian managers on a Dutch cyclingsite. I help them to avoid early mistakes like a youthscout or multi low skilled trainers. They can ask me anything and therefore keep the fun in the game. Just like Kingstowm helped me. But there was a manager starting eraly next season in division 7. He won everything because he ws the only manager. He said that he likes the game but that he wants some opposition, otherwise he will quit. Now he is in 6th division with 11 (!) bots. So that means 3 months of doing nothing and win all. Then I understand he will quit. Otherwise he played for 6 months and still hasn't played. Even a bot is going to promote! He already has 2,5 Million on the bank. I think we should divide all active teams over half the 6th divisions and keep all other 6th divisions for the new teams. If you have no opposition for the second season in a row, I understand if you quit. I am not talking about higher divisions. Only for 6 and 7.

I notice that a lot of new 6th divisions have only a few, or in some cases only 1 team with a manager . 6:13 has only one.
These managers won't stay in the game. I think it is really, really urgent that active teams are divided over a few divisions so every division has at least 4. Otherwise all these teams will quit.
I think div. 7 can be removed immediately and all these active teams put in div. 6. And alle teams without a manager in div. 6 should be removed also!
I think that is really, really urgent.

And what about inured riders? Strange that a rider who had 0% fitness is 100% at the start of the season but injuries still are injuries. If Nibali had a concussion in Lombardia, he also would be fit before the tour down under.
