Hi all, my team is 'De Koereurs'! I don't know what your expectations are, but mine are to get a lot of stagewins. I'm not really trying to win jerseys, because with the reversed calender I don't think mountain cyclists will be that powerfull anymore. The last stage will be a flat stage in most cases. I'm trying to find cyclists with a good FA, so my team won't be that strong this season. Good luck to all!

I'm excited for the new season! Although I seem to be a though opponent. I finished first in a division where I was almost the only mountain trainer of all teams. So I won fairly every decent mountain stages. I won the three big tours with three different riders. But I'm affraid it won't be easy for me this season, I guess I'm gonna stick with trying to win a stage once in a while ;-) I'm very curious about the reserve calendar, what will be the effect on de Tours is a good question, like Quatannens says! My goal is to make my riders stronger and hoping for good FA among my main riders :-) to build a stronger team for next season ;-)
Good luck and I hope this Division forum will be an active one!

Hi everybody. I don't know my level compared to yours, but for sure I'll do my best to prepare a competitive season. It's going to be tough for everybody but therefore should be quite fun!
good luck to you all!!!!

I meant based on my international ranking (21) just Quantennes is better on the first glance of our teams. I think I'm overranked on that placed due to no hard competion in my division last year.
But I think it will be as you say interesting and fun!

yep I don't think the international ranking is very useful to understand each other competitiveness... moreover everything depends on the training changes (if any).
So let's warm up the wheels and see what happens!

My team certainly won't be the strongest this season I've had a little bad luck with cyclists FA's untill now. My team now has one good cyclist (Borrego) and one that is ok (Roquiny). All the others are cyclists with unknown FA, so no mountainskill higher than 7. This week 4 cyclists will be sold again because their FA isn't high enough

exactly.... Fa was not a factor in the first 2 season, now it will be. I had a little bit more luck with FA, but I am changing training...not sure for how long, so probably won't be able to win so many races!

Yes, there are many tactics. If you want to find cyclists with high FA now, you can train them later on sideskills. If you want results now and want to find good FA's later, you can change training now. I still don't know what to do, because I'm not getting good FA cyclists but I don't want to change training yet

I've changed training due to decrease in mountain skill of my trainer. Now I'm training an couple of weeks hill. But as my trainer reaches 18 on mountain I'm back to training mountain.
Common let the new season start! Looking forward to it!

Yeah as mountain trainer it would be nice to have a flatter of stat 8! Too bad I accidentally invest 1M in the investments with the bank for 16weeks. So I can't go al the way Good luck in finding one!
