Congratz Naspa for taking the stage  Now 4 teams with 8 wins and I think tomorrow Pedale will get also his 8th win. Arno Tirlea did well but would not enough if Quiller didn't set Banciu at 75%, Lorens too, didn't have a chance. Quiller that was a bad call for Banciu. It was not a bad call... i am pretty sure it was a glitch in the system... I am really very sure i did set banciu at 100% three days ago... double checked it two days ago... But now he did race at 70 %... BUT no problem en congratulations to you (i absolutely agree that naz IS the best rider in our division...) |

quiller. When it happens to me I have the impression it is related to later adjustments using my phone -while I usually preset strategies on my desktop pc. Just out of curiosity and it might help tracking the cause: did you use different systems- browsers as well?

Just out of curiosity and it might help tracking the cause: did you use different systems- browsers as well? That is exactly what i did... I rearanged my tactics by letting banciu participate in Milano-Torino... When i set tactics for the week (and 100% in lombardia) he was NOT in milan Torino... I put him in milan Torino after that and i did that later on my smartphone... so u may be right... |

Yes. I will try to replicate the issue setting up a funrace. - one thing is for sure. I happens under special circumstances.
Changing a rider or tactics does not cause it automatically.
So, for tomorrow. Who except ElGringo did train youngsters on TT?
I hope for a podium place with one of my best flat riders. But all my youngsters suffer this season for a lack in TT skills.

No ambitions here as well for today.
Looking forward in tension about the upcoming retirement.
Number of threatened riders per team:
Ab: /
Melres: 36:3 37:1
PollyJ: 35:2 36:2 37:1
Quiller: 35:1 36:3 38:1
Naspa: 36:6 38:1
Pedale: 35:1 36:3 38:4
Berdios: 36:2 37:2
Ngogo: 36:4 37:5 38:3 39:1
Especially Ngogo and Pedale could be slaughtered.

And the numbers 9, 10, 11 and 12 from 2nd division.... Yes, well, they are better known. CSC is having a strong team existing mainly out of 27-33 year olds. Seems a team that is getting top quality in a few seasons time. I hope he will not relegate to 3:2. Having a quick look at the riders in the different 4th divisions. I think 4:1 and 4:4 are the most competitive. Bolt thrower and Groenenhoek look like candidates to promote straight to second division. We will see, with a bit of luck we will not have to face all three of them next season. CSC is staying in 2nd DIV as it seems. But I did a small check on possible teams in our division for next season. Just based on riders quality and wages, not on managers skills. From DIV 2:5 bots (out of 8)
Best squads: Pegasus seems to have the best squad but is rarely online.
Decent squad for DIV3: Chosen and Evcont (last one seems not online too much)
From DIV 4:
4 bots (out of 16)
Best squads: Boltthrower (4:1) and Groenehoek (4:4)
Decent squad for DIV3: Unit 2 (4:4) and Boditeam (4:6) and maybe Bleekies, Burgos, Coolness, Arsenal and Dou Renne if they have a good manager. Your opinions or wishlist? |

Well. Evcont is a strong opponent. Very good manager. But zero riders at the moment. Same I think with Towerriders. When they becomes active again, they have a load of cash to spend,. So tricky business :-)
From 4th division, Boltthrower and Groenenhoek indeed.
I think the rest of the teams can be interesting. Some might have a strong youth tough.

That was our last race. Quite disappointing result for me :-( The power of TT-skills should not be underestimated. Having a 19 year old with 9 already on flat is a thrilling prospect, but sadly worthless in the u21 races. Congratz to Melres with the double win, the best rider, and a very deserved second spot in our division. Let Tirlea and Naz survive the season update so they can find their equals in second division! The most admiration is of course to Ab. The patience and careful policies in which you build a team that will be ready for first division in a couple of seasons, is a piece of art! The first place without the most wins shows that your team is strong on all terrains and just needs a little bit of edge more to dominate in a fearful way! Respect and good luck wishes to Carapaz and Heroes. I have seen that you are spending your cash now wisely buying top quality of younger age carapaz. You might end up with a team like Ab's only a few generations younger :-) And thanks to all for the nice season. Although you did not let me win enough to reach my goals, it was a pleasure to compete with you. |

Final day of season and with a win, nothing better then that. I can say that at 1st I wasn't with the right mood to play but the great ambient created in this division made me come online more often and start fighting for more stages, I made my record with 32 wins. This division was funtastic and with great managers, we had a great forum theats. Thanks to all that make this a memorable season, Arno, funtastic riders and you had a lot of patience to develope them, Naspa also very active in forum and made us come here just to check your reports and predictions, really great, Quiller and Pollyjean we had great battles for GC's in grand tours and that made the grand tours even more spectacular and unpredictable, Pedale is the real train for sprint that remembers the Mario Cippolini team Saeco, Carapaz a new managers that wanst to learn and create a great team for the future, just missed a win but right now we have better riders even in the U21 and finally Heroes that will relegate but got 2 wins and now goes to div 4 to make some extra money. Thanks to all guys Now I hipe I can go to div 2:2 thats was the division that I played more season. Cheers |

O boy. I think Kasseienstoempers helpers did lose their sprinter. Congratz @pedale. It is really strange. Race report says: 03:34:34 The cyclists of the first group enter part 11 03:33:32 Some bad news for Lequeux, he has a flat tire 03:10:22 A flat tire for Melazzini but teamwork gets him back to the group But this is the standing after part 10: 1. Alunno 1 03:34:34 2. Menschaert1 03:34:34 3. Barbantini1 03:34:34 4. Bredael 1 03:34:34 5. Zulani 1 03:34:34 6. Pratte 1 03:34:34 7. Brognoli1 03:34:34 8. Melazzini2 03:35:26 So really strange. Although it doesn't make much of a difference. Melazzini would have finished 3rd instead of Pratte. Still my rider. |

Ab and Helder : thx for the fun season!!! I wish you both good luck in 2nd... About next season i hope you both come back to our forum here too (allthough not as much as this season i suppose) because you will be missed!!! Now i am in agony about the season update and who i will lose ... worst case scenario : i have no one left to go for GC in the great tours  |

Now 4 teams with 8 wins and I think tomorrow Pedale will get also his 8th win.
