Ab, seems things worked really fine in the end this season. I was a little afraid a couple of weeks ago, but Gonzales pushed the gas, which is entirely what i was hoping for. I wanted as many race wins as possible, another target achieved, as i did not have an exact number. And doing well financially, another point which improved compared with the beginning of the season. I'm not entirely happy with staying low, but it seems ok in the end. Regarding Garcia del Rio, i didn't even thought about the points. I think i would have raced Borneo instead. He is just an example that, trained well, every cyclist has a future. When i bought him he was well behind other cyclists same age, while now he is one of the good ones. After Puscasu, which was born in my team, he was the best placed investment. By the way, Roman Mariens is on the transfer list, as his FA in flat is crap and i don't want to complicate my life more than to continue training flat at the moment. Still in search of the next star, but looks to be very far away .

Mariens is three weeks to soon. My investments run out in 3 weeks. Then I would have bought him from you for all the money needed. Now I don't have it...

I was expecting a win today but I forgot that Schizm had Masek this way no chance for a win. Schizm there were only 2 races for him to win this season? Or badluck other times?

Hmmm, this was the race I wanted to test one of my best second generation riders. I wanted to see how much time he had to conceive to the winner but I gave the attack instructions to the wrong rider....

For me this week is kind of crazy. I would like to win at least one more race, but i also need Gonzales to make as many points as possible. I'm pretty afraid to take high risks. So a very interesting last week. Ab, i think we've switched places compared to last season. We continue to dominate the third and fourth place in this division ))))))

Well, tomorrow prbably Routier will win and take the 100 points, so no problem for you to take a win in a stage of Borneo, which is only 60 points. You only have to be carefull with the points of the intermediate sprints. First stage only 3, second 4 and third too much. So Coticelli can better leave stage 3 to Zevenbergen But a lot of competition in Borneo. Acerbi, Trgo, Sorgatz, Naz, Tirlea, Perricioli and Peters are also riding so far...

Altough I am going to say goodbye to Zevenbergen and probably also Brueren at the end of this season. That is 2/3 of my mountain power and 6 of my victories. And I am planning to ride without U21 riders next season, so going for 4th would be a challenging target!

I don't have any chances for tomorrow, i'm just relaxed with that race. For Borneo, it's the end of the seasons and tactics are totally different than usual. I'm curios about the level of Coticelli. As i said, if the difference after tomorrow is big enough, i will keep the tactics already set. If not, i'll see what i change. I should not have any chances for the yellow jersey, and that could bring the most unexpected points. So it should be ok. Regarding next season, i continue to not have a clear tactics, either for next season or in general. I see that you continue to make a clear switch toward the new generation. For me, i find too many riders with low FA in flat, i prefer to continue training flat, as it makes my life easier and there are not many flat trainers with experience in this, so i'm a little disappointed. If Mariens would have had a decent FA in flat, i would have kept him. Oh well, I have still have an enough good team, but they are getting older each season, and i'm not training them anymore. Divison 1 is clearly somebody's playground at the moment (i don't give names), it's debatable how much time the game will still be here. So, at the moment i'm having fun winning as many races as i can and trying to build better finances. I'm waiting for an opportunity, whatever that may mean

I didn't check the race, just saw that Vervueren, who is a TT specialist with some flat, not a flat specialist, got third. Better than expected

Better than expected Seems that there hasn't to many flat specialists riding becaue Tirlea is also a TT specialist and made 4th. The only flat specialists were Baribeau and Trgo.

Last stage of the season. Congratz to WC Bloedzak and Gonzalez with their promotion to the 1st Div. Congratz to Trapper, he made it in the relegation battle. Hammers, my team, Breschel Cycling and Schizmano are doomed to race in 3rd Div. Since I'm renewing my team, I'll probably go further down to 4th Div. But one day I'll be back. Stronger than ever. (I hope)
Good luck you all in season 16.
