First GC loss for Tappa. Lost way to much in this mountain stage. Congratz to the winner!
That's right rarau. I was going for the highest possible position in division 1 this year. It seems 4th place is the highest i could get but that is probably not going to happen. So I started preparing my team for the coming years and now relegation is an option. I am not planning to, but if it happens it is not a bad thing because next year I won't have any competing cyclist left.

Fun to see what my place is in division 1. In some races I am able to compete with some of my best cyclists like Tappa and Chitul, but overall division 1 is very hard with all of the great cyclists in it.

Hi, my first time in 1:1 after 5 times promotion in a row. My team will probably get a few results because I bought some great riders of the last few years. But for the future my team is not strong enough. I have some youngsters but they aren't able to compete. So for this year I will just see how far I will come and if it is possible to stay in the first division. If the start does tell something, it is promising, but we will only know after a few weeks.

I'm just getting rid of some riders I won't use a lot. Some pretty nice youngsters, but I can't have to much of them. Kellner is a nice addition to my team indeed. I do not have a lot of cyclist from his age. Actually he is my second rider between 22 and 30. The others are all younger than 22 or older than 30.
I think I can make top 10 every race, but it would be better to get some more victories. Today it was a nice 4th and 6th place although I hoped for more.

I really have no idea about the stats of his riders. Only that some of them were really hard to beat...
I think the Giro period will be more interesting because of the new choices we need to make. Put our better cyclists in the other races? Or focus on stagewins in the Giro? Maybe even compete with a fitness trainer?

Ah, my riders are well-known already I didn't know he would win, but he has a nice flat/hill combination indeed. For Dubai I have some decent flat cyclists starting. But I'm als racing with a young leadership so I'm wondering how that will work out.

I visit the forum now and then. Love to discuss our division in this topic. First of all it is good to see that my team is expected to go for promotion. However, I'm not sure if that is very realistic. I defenitely have some great riders like Tappa and Brinks, but not all of my riders are good enough for division 2 already. I have a big youth squad but they are not developed enough to battle for the win in the youth races.
I wish you all good luck and I hope everyone will try to finish as high as possible. Even if this is not quite a good idea for your team.

I am one of those members who anticipated on EGV's eagerness to buy 18y's. I just restarted myself but in my case I decided to start again with a complete new team. I have to build a completely new team and when I saw that I could make some big money on selling one of my 18 year olds I decided to do that. In fact another one is on the market. I see only a win win situation because I could make some good money and EGV and others are able to buy some talented young cyclists. The only problem about the restart of EGV was that he had both his old money as his new cyclists. But he fixed that himself if I read it correctly. So since that problem is solved and he only had his stuff (money) from his old team I dont see any problems?
