Here is the start of season 11. The Dutch's start very strong in the flat and Tossboom took the 1st victory. My main objective is to finish top 5 and fight for the top3 in the big tours.

I'm the Warner Brothers manager.
As a newcomer, my goal is simply avoiding demotion. I'm probably not going to be looking at targeting the big tours as much as I would normally... instead I'm trying to cherry pick points here and there when I think I have a shot.
My team is balanced with a slight bias toward hills. But I think my overall talent level is probably a bit deficient. I haven't kept up with the transfer market as much as I probably should have the past 2-3 seasons.
I'm happy I picked up some points to start with a minor finish. I may have to live on those... we'll see.

Hi Guys,
Happy to be back racing. Happy with the start obviously. My goal is to win more races than last season (1) which shouldn't be impossible. I hope to finish top 6 this time.

I'm happy the new season started. Hope we'll have an active division forum like last seasons. My target is to finish top 5 and to win more stages then last season.

Ooh... wasn't expecting a win this quick but it was a rather hilly stage and Goorts is one of my better riders. We'll see if he can hang on through the flat final stage with low fitness... would be awesome to get a GC win to start the season off with a bang. 2000 points seems like it was enough to avoid demotion in 2:2 last season... a GC win, stage win and mountain win should put me a good way toward that total if Goorts can pull it off.

Congratz a very good win. I was expecting a win too, but Delaunay lost contact in one of the early attacks and he made a nice recover but not enough. Lets see today who has the better sprinter

Congrats Kurtinsc. Nice debut! I'm obviously very pleased. Looking back through stage 2 though, it looks like Goort was rarely the lead dog in any section. It appears he was just barely able to get into the final sprint and managed to take it that way. I have a feeling in any race without a lot of terrain diversity I'll struggle mightily.

Here is the start of season 11. ... for which, we have to thank you. And now, all the Italian teams form the division's safety net 3rd position represents my self-estimated value. Anything above would be a bonus.

Well, my plan for today succeeded. I put in a strong team to pull van Quaquebeke over the mountains and it was probably just enough to follow the Koureurs's train. Also the first time I take the lead in div 2, but that won't be for long I guess.

Hmm, Devos not winning a bunch sprint with 4 helpers. What a loser No, the finishing terrain was not really his favourite I was hoping to get to the finish with a smaller group, but I guess the pace wasn't high enough Second race in a row second place. I would like a first win and the TTT in the Tirreno is a nice goal
