It's been a tough long wait for season 11, I'm sure we all agree. The good news is this division hasn't lost any teams (yet), all 12 logged in since the break. I think I checked 1:1 and 2:2 a few weeks ago and it was the case there as well, but I might be wrong. 8 from 2:1 have already set orders for tomorrow, 9 if we include me. I suppose I'm partly just posting this in an attempt to get myself up for this season! I haven't set any orders yet, and I need to hurry up. Decisions are hard. Last season's returners: 3. Kimbainvelocipede 2 (2871) 4. De Mechelaars (2759) 5. Luptatorii din Rarau (2569) 6. De Scheefspuiters (2556) 7. Dezza1 (2481) 8. J.M. Jiménez (2446) Really evenly matched there New teams: PAN (10th 1:1) Hüsker Dü (11th 1:1) Pelevialli (2nd 3:4) Op kop de sloot in (1st 3:3) Cyclist Devils (2nd 3:2) Zapardiel (1st 3:1) Pele and Zap return after relegation in season 9, hoping to do better, but looking at the points totals, maybe Op kop is the favourite for best promoted team. Favourites for promotion have to be me and PAN (boring that, sorry!), no former 2:1 team was that close to promotion last season, and there doesn't appear to be a Nightbiker/Slayer in the promoted teams, buut we shall find out. Good luck! aand also lets cross our fingers for the site and game in general. We need to regain some momentum. (Shame the first race doesn't start at the top of a hill? )

Great that we have started again! Shame that 3 teams didn't participate, hopefully they will later this week.
My goal for this season is to avoid relegation, and I think the 5th place of yesterday was a good start for that. Good luck!

Beginning of season missed! I will have at least one excuse to don't promote (or even go back to 3rd)... Slayer and Nightbiker have both traversed my divisions some season ago they were extraterrestrial. Don't be worry i'm not that kind of team By the way finances are healthy and some good multi skilled players belong to the Devils. I'm not sure that this is sufficient to make results in 2nd div (old remembrance of the past game with old engine where a 2 mega skills rider was better to obtain victory in div 1 than a good multi skilled one ) Let's confirm all that in Tireno !

Fairly happy with that first week. A victory would've been nice obviously, but happy with a jersey from the first tour. My week went: 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 7th. I do not like that regression so much I probably should've won Trofeo Deia, got my tactics wrong. 5 attacks = 10th and 2 attacks = 3rd! Not too sure I can win much in Tirreno-Adriatico, but maybe I can get a first victory in Milan-San Remo, it's a race Loete has won before. We still only have 10 teams competing which is a bit of a shame.

Not too sure I can win much in Tirreno-Adriatico, but maybe I can get a first victory in Milan-San Remo, it's a race Loete has won before. Can I have bonus points for predicting this? Can we start betting on our own riders? Am I just talking to myself anyway? (Possibly, but I may continue anyway...) I like to think nearly buying Monnelly (who used to be a rival for this kind of race) motivated him slightly more today So close to a time jersey with Iorga! Not sure there was much more I could've done tactically. I've not won one since season 7 If me and PAN continue pulling away from the rest of the division I'm just gonna focus on this goal I reckon. Go a bit Larry Bird and just set myself silly little challenges... Tomorrow's race looks really tough, 12 attack points. No idea how it'll go. Next week is one for squad depth, 3 individual races and a tour. I haven't made my plans yet.

Most times I read the forum, but I don't always have/make time to respond on it I was in for Monnelly as well, but at least Falardeau wasn't motivated by it. A fall and losing the sprint for place 4 and 5. A bit disappointing week for me till now anyway, with one 4th place as the best result. I have some hope for today, but I might be totally wrong with the type of rider I chose. We'll see.

Even i have already 2 stage win it looks that the fight for place 9 it will be in 5 users : me, Pelevialli , Cyclist Devils , Kimbainvelocipede and Dezza. Pff, for Vuelta Ciclista a Pais Vasco i dont have too good cyclists It looks to be the most difficult small tour for me Too many 1 day races this days Disapointed for today Ronde van Vlaanderen race. I was hoping for win, or first 3 places, for Bonaventura. Probably you all play with cyclists like 10 2 10 2 2 10 . My player is good in almost all skills. He win time in dowmhill and hill section but lost on flat/mountain section. Seeing live today race i was thinked that the fight will be between Rios of Pelevialli and my Bonaventura. It is NICE that till now i have 1 win per weeek i hope next weeks to be the same but next week looks very difficult. Seeing this first 2 weeks we can see already who will promote What i hope for this season? To have healty finances and 10 race win

Just an aside about nothing, Vlieghe's transfer history is one of my favourite things: I've bought him twice for less than I sold him for once (not why it's my favourite thing at all, just a bonus)

The impressive start continuing Maxz 2nd in the youngster jersey is a good start, lots of competition for it this tour though. P good to see for varieties sake.
