Welcome in the 2:2 Div. Some new teams for me, others I've already met in former seasons. Being one of the weakest team of this serie, I'll just try not to demote to 3rd Div and try to win a few stages. Wish a fair and good season to you all. Chakra

Last year I ended behind ALESANA after a long battle. This year I will try to end before him and hope on more then 3 stage wins. I switched training from flat to mountain (combined with sprint and TT. Hope that will bring in some more points when there are some mountains. Last season one mountain was enough for most of my cyclists to lose contact with the peloton

I think there will be no doubt about that. You ending before me this season. But it will depend off the calender. There are a lot of TT and sprint trainers in our Div. Probably it will be an attackfull season. :-( Just hoping to have enough sprint to catch up with them.
I do hope too that other teams of our Div will find their way to this forum...

Many teams I've never raced before - and I still don't understand the race engine - so I have no idea how I'll do this season. Good luck to all

I've selected my team for the first week. As a flat team with some hill I should score some points here. If not, it will be a tough season

Hello everyone! Hey joachim, it's great that we are in the same divison again! I will focus on the grand tours as in the last seasons. The first weeks will be quite difficult for my team, because there are many stages with hill and flat. But I will attack and perhaps I can score some points...
I think we have a lot of very strong teams here, so it will be an exciting and challenging season. So have fun and good luck :-)

@ seberla: hard but you did take a second place. My attacker wasn't strong enough in the start but he did take 1 minute on the last hill. Should have let him attack on an earlier hill part, but I thought he could get away in the beginning too.

Didn't expect this: second race, first victory. Maybe I will do better then my 3 of last season. For the final standing of this tour everything is still possible

I don't believe so. I guess I was quite lucky in the first 2 races, my team is not really for flat races, I was quite surprised!

You still don't think so? I even was surprised you came back to 2nd Div. Congratz with your first week. Time, Points and Mountain Jersey and best team time. It will be very very hard to beat you. @joachim. Hey we are not going to fight for 6th place again hé!

Really really don't think so. Results are quite strange to me!Indeed I am happy, but i still don't believe that this week showed the real forces of the division. i was happy to come back to second division...up there there are some real monsters! Tomorrow let's start with mountains. Can't wait to see if the difference with your Roland is increased or not!

1 small thing I want to add. Boulianne is one of my best riders...he won everything today but I won't be able to use him in the next 3 weeks... so the real value of the team we will see it in 3-4 weeks i guess
