Hi all, today is the first race of the new season, with the new race engine! I don't expect too much from it, I don't think I'm going to promote. Although we are very lucky we avoided the really strong teams. I don't see big favorites yet, so I hope it will be an exciting season with a lot of active managers! In the old engine my best cyclists were Borrego and Roquiny, don't know if they will still be

It looks like an even division, but ambitions for The Metric System is definately promotion ;D

Hello, first week has past (almost). Still figuring out how those damn tactics work. But I think that I may be happy when I win a few races and will be ending top 10 at the end of the season ;D

All the people that ended up in the first group...were they set as attacker in the hill section? I don't understand why i lost those seconds with Vincx...

I can tell you that Urkens was set to final sprinter, so he didn't attack at all. His sprint and mountain skills are "ok"

I don't understand why Bertol (whose skills are ok ) , and Vinckx (whose skills are ok and was set to 85%), got those seconds but is just a curiosity...still too much i don't understand about the new engine!

Borrego is 2-2-11-2-2-0. Don't know why he couldn't escape, what is the mountain skill of Urkens?

Borrego is 2-2-11-2-2-0. Don't know why he couldn't escape, what is the mountain skill of Urkens? I guess more sprint is needed to escape the peloton... the terrain skill is not really helpful to exit the peloton. (Tamagno yesterday could'nt escape twice...and the skills are very similar to borrego (M11)

I was able to escape with a cyclist with a lower sprint skill than Borrego I just wonder what the skills are of the cyclists that can follow. An attack should at least mean a little upgrade in pelotonspeed as they try to get the attacker back? That way more cyclists should leave the peloton go

Great !! Finally first jersey (mountain jersey TdR) Besides a youngster jersey. I got rid of one ZERO. It will be hard to reach top 5 place. Quattanens does not seem that polite to let my team go in front of his team. ;D

Auch. That must suck. But I'm sure you will take revenge in TdF. Just will be glad to have been in top 5. ;D 2 wins in a row. Roland seems to have a good condition. I never thought to win Firenze-Pisa. Donckerwolcke and Pasquariello is making it hard for the sprints to win. Or at least are trying. ;D
