I dont train mountain till 4-5 weeks ago but i have 2 awesome mountain cyclists Laloux who i bought him recently with very high mountain and i train him TT (a lot) and 1-2 skills in all other skills. And Parasca who I trained all skills (maybe probably without flat i'm not sure) who have awesome mountain FA and will be train mountain now. I hope he will be soon on high mountain skill but also i need to be very carefull with his wage. For me Parasca is very young 27 years but maybe for high mountain skills probably is not so young. For Parasca i paid 2.800.000 and probably i never pay more on a cyclist even is Malton Unexpected i remain on first place but Denis and Warner are near Mostly probably of Fidatov who with low fitness finished today at place 3. Who want to promote? 1. Luptatorii din Rarau 3835 2. Tours.Cycle.Club 3779 3. Warner Bros Racing 3422 4. The Mothers of Invention 3393 Standings teams Nr Team Time 1. Tours.Cycle.Club 15:01:44 2. Warner Bros Racin... +16:42 3. Nattramn +19:18 4. The Mothers of In... +20:50 5. Luptatorii din Ra... +21:15 Unexpected Nattram finish 3 on teams. Without injury i was sure on place 2 on teams. With better tactics Fidatov could finish 1 on points and Laloux on second place on mountain. But overall Spain was good, Tours don't pass/overrun me. By the way maybe you dont see on general forum is a discussion about then new calendar

Romania Most cyclists: 48 (Luptatorii din Rarau) Belgium Most cyclists: 43 (SpartaB) The Netherland Most cyclists: 55 (BalgorBlueBikers) Italy 36 (Shotokan) France 37 (Forza17) Portugal 41 (RS pro-team) Germany 28 (Team Franconia) pffff ... is so difficult to have less then 50 cyclists in my team I supposed that from today i will be a normal team but like you see probably i'm second team in this game at number of cyclists (i dont go on all countries to see) I have 8 juniors. I have 2 captains with LS better then 10 (one of them trained) And i have another 2 captains with 8 LS not trained probably i need to fire / go away / 20 cyclists with TT lower then 6 to have a normal team 7 of them are juniors.

Good race today Not a perfect race but was good because i have better results then Tours Everything still possible with a lot of points in place till end 1. Luptatorii din Rarau 3880 2. Tours.Cycle.Club 3800 3. Warner Bros Racing 3432 4. The Mothers of Invention 3419 first win for tyson in our group. This week i think De Stovebuzen will have first win too. Before today i thinked that Wimjan Debever (7649) will win today race but probable Debever have some hill and low mountain and probably tomorrow race was better for him. tomorrow it looks a Soto/Sironi race hoping on a place 3 for me I hope that Nattramn will have good results but fitness probably lowered very much his trainings on TT What is your medium TT for trained cyclists? generally not necesarly for this playing this week. For me is near 7. I have few with 6, a lot with 7 and 8 and 1 cyclist with 10 And your finances for this season?!? $12,794,276 $13,435,146 -$640,870 sponsor 27 968 per week cyclists 350.000 or more staff 193.000 last season $17,403,260 $12,018,603 $5,384,657 without money from last season now was very difficult for me

I suggest you sell some of your cyclists because in division 2 you will make less money. i try to do that this season but i dont receive the money i want for my cyclists i ask bettween 0.5 and 1 mil but no bids I cannot sell my cyclists with 0.5 or less. Of course the cyclists put on transfer list are not my stars. My stars are very good but probably because of their age i will not receive more then 1.5 per them. If i will promote, not sure now, i will see first 3-5 weeks how i will doing and if i will lost a lot of money probablly i will lower one skill of my trainer and i will sell , for a few bucks , some of my stars who have huge wage. And of course probably i will sell all my cyclists (not trained) with low TT , cyclists who are kept for sprint stages. too few sprint stages

Rarau i already told you 2 seasons ago, cut your squad. You are lucky to win some stages this year otherwise i would have been a struggle. But if you keep on doing what you are now doing, debts will rise and rise. Why on earth do you need 50 cyclists for? 2nd division will kill you because there you will fight relegation and have less income.
my stats: earned 10.8 mil payed: 10.0 Benefit is 0.8 mil wages : 195k staff: 250k sponsor 28k I am now somewhere around 2million on my savings account.
Another thing, you will promote. I dont see mothers and warner bros win 400 points in 3 races without jerseys. I even doubt that tours will win anything since he only won 2 stages in the entire season. What makes you believe he will suddenly win the last 3?
lose some cyclists, cut your wages and get ready for div.2. Maybe you wont get the price you have in your mind, but everything is better then paying wages for cyclists you will not use. Cause lets be honest, next year you will need points, and young or bad riders will not bring them.
just my 2cents!

We'll see. My average TT is closer to 6.5 or so (at least for my non-juniors). Your finances seem problematic. I'm at around 200K on cyclists, 150K for staff and get 25.6K from my sponsor. I generally have enough to spend a couple million each season on transfers and still keep mostly level on my bank account. My income this year is about 11 million with costs around 10 million with about a -1.4 million balance from the transfer market.

Cyclists have to be very good to actually cost more then their transfer value these days. My last few purchases. Because of the number of teams having dropped, there seems to be less demand for the good but not exceptional cyclists. Also, you'd probably do better putting guys up for 100K and hope that bidding drives them higher as opposed to putting it at 500K and hoping for a bid. I'll be honest, I ignore riders who's starting price is that high... but if I start bidding for a rider at 100K sometimes I'll go up to a much higher number. Doesn't make much sense... but it's how many people work.

you 2 are right in all.
Of course i have the same opinions like you 2 especially this quote.
My problem is that i give a lot of money for 18 years youngsters.
37929 8/4/2014 Foued De Koster Bought from velo steven $300,300
35956 4/25/2014 Berkeley Oxenrider Bought from Team Acer Omega $55,000 only for LS
this season i'm only at -0.7 mostly because last 2 weeks last week -0.3, this week -0.3
if i have more supporters will be better. This season i have aprox 15-20 cyclists with 18-20 years, now i have 2 with 18 and 6 with 19y probably next season near the end i will have only 3-4. Now i see that i have too much juniors but who thinked at the beginning that i will finish 1? I supposed to finish on place 7-8 not 1 or 2
I don't know how will be in division 2 seeing that probably will not be bots like this season and some big teams coming from div 1.1. I cannot bankrupt next season because i have some cash. My team probably is thinked mostly for division 4 when you need cyclists for win all. Our group 3.1 was very difficult but other division like 3.2 with 5 bots was better for me.
My team is full with a lot of oldest so best thing for me WAS to sell almost all and buy only 18-19 years. Probably if i will see that is very difficult in division 2 i will do that or i will remain with 4-5 stars and sell all. But my cyclist have in the beginning of this season low TT , now they have 7, so i don't know what cyclists are good and who not.
If you see Franconia, i think, have only cyclists with maximum skill 12, i don't think that he have more then 3-4 cyclists with more then 1.500.000 TV and even don't have a Malton he is number 1. So what he have? My cyclist have ALL skills without hill, so probably when they have 9 TT i will have better results.
The bad thing is that in this game count only attackers and not sprinters / final sprint.

Maybe you wont get the price you have in your mind, but everything is better then paying wages for cyclists you will not use. Cause lets be honest, next year you will need points, and young or bad riders will not bring them. just my 2cents! You of course are right. I have some sprint cyclists from Verhaert (62) who dont bring me awesome results but are awesome on sprint stages. The problem is that some sprint stages 1-2 are in big tours and only 5 per season. I have 48 not 50 8 are juniors so i have 40 2 captains who will be not sold ever 23 trained + 2 juniors 18y +2 captains => 27 minimum squad. i have 10 or more cyclists with low TT / big sprint / especially from Verhaert who probably i will sell them for a few bucks but not huge wage , have near 3-4000 but or 10 => a lot example 1) 2 1 13 2 2 2 => i dont know wky i kept him, probably for helper, this season play only 4 races, i dont know what to do with him, i have 30 more week with him, i wait next calendar 2) 4 2 10 1 8 2 => only 4 races, 13 weeks till go, i will see then what i do with him, wait a calendar with more and difficult mountain. 3) 6 2 8 2 2 3 probably not good for any race 4) 7 5 7 2 6 3 the same with 3) 5) 8 5 6 2 6 3 the same 6) 7 5 7 2 5 0 with 8 LS captain number 3 For last part i dont know who are my bad and who good on my cyclists. Afraid to lost place 1? Yes, i dont know how good are your teams, especially Tours. I supposed that Tours have cyclists only for big tours but i wasn't sure, tk to tell me. Tre Valli Varesine is a strange race i dont know what my cyclists will do. We have a very powerfull division if Tours finish 2 all this races and i finish on place 6 for example he will be number 1. Theoretically mothers and warner could finish this last races on first 2 places 160 * 3 = 480 points. What you think about him? 5 6 0 5 1 10 11-10 4-2 201-84 24 years how many $$$ deserve? $715,334 and 15 weeks so low wage. I paid for him 700.000 and from then full training.

(about place 1) probably i will promote but probablly from place 2 I attacked with 3 cyclists today. No mountain today. Jaron is my second flat cyclist, have awesome skills without mountain of course, his TT is normal. So ? probably need more flat(hill) and of course TT till at least 10 Unexpected low results from Soto/Sironi , played at 70 / 75 % For what they were played? 1. Hobai 0 0 04:51:41 Tours.Cycle.Club 2.

Bah. Garen has two flats (which didn't cause him to lose time)... then two falls (which did). Wish I had picked Batistoni or Sirucek for the stage in retrospect. I thought I could take today.

Post by kurtinsc on Sept 5, 2014 12:38:32 GMT 1
And I still think you're overestimating TT Rarau. Batistoni attacked at point 2. He has a 7 TT, a very good hill and a flat of 5. If he had been my leader rather then Garen and had attacked at points 3, 6 and 8 as well, he probably would have won.
TT factors a lot more in mountain races then in flat/hilly ones I think. And even then I think having more balance with hill for your cyclist as opposed to having an exceptional TT with a poor hill is better for most mountain stages as well.

Also, you'd probably do better putting guys up for 100K and hope that bidding drives them higher as opposed to putting it at 500K and hoping for a bid.I don't know how will be in division 2 seeing that probably will not be bots like this season and some big teams coming from div 1.1. I cannot bankrupt next season because i have some cash. My team probably is thinked mostly for division 4 when you need cyclists for win all. Our group 3.1 was very difficult but other division like 3.2 with 5 bots was better for me. To give you some figures about division 2: Since the re-organisation of the divisions I was 3 years in div 2.2. Ended 8th - 7th and 7th; This season I will degradate. Current number of supporters: arround 8600 base, end of the week mostly arround 10000. Sponser: weekly 40937. My trainer: 227000, wages of cyclists: 194000. This season a loss of 1,3million (1million loss on transfers). Last season -750000. So realise that at the bottem of division 2 it's a struggle to survive...

There you got it. And thats what is waiting for you next season rarau. In dont think your cyclists are good enough to compete in 2nd div. Otherwise you would have won much more stages this year. You probabely need flat above 10 to start with, combined with good second skills like hill or mountain. And by good i mean close to 10 as well. Multi skill is much more important, the higher you get, the closer you come to the point where details make the difference. Last season you won a mountain stage with a 8 mountain single skill guy, high weight and height, this season that guy would have made the top 10, but next year he will make a fool of himself. What i mean is fire those low valued mono skill riders and build yourself a small but strong multisquad.
oh and soto and sironi, i forgot to play them at 100%. Thats what you get with playing this game on a mobile device:-)
