And with the rankings published, voting is open

This is tough

1) Best Rider: Peter Sagan ahead of Froomey (too one sided competition unfortunately )
2) Best Team: SKY, duh ahead of Movistar
3) Best HQ: Euskaltel - Euskadi ahead of Champion System
4) Best Manager: Uhm, this is very, very tough to choose from, especially since we are missing a transfer season. However, great job all around people. Go for Ollfardh in the end because good results, good HQ and good use of riders (incl EPIC youngsters).
5) Best EPIC rider: Jordan Birtles (those TdF posts ) ahead of Birt, kakhi and Hanzen
6) Best reporter: SSJ2Luigi - say whaat? Ahead of The Rider

Best win: Mitchell Birt double feature at Vuelta.
Best race this season: Ronde van Vlaanderen because of GVA winning it

Uhm, I'm obviously tired from writing and reading all those HQ posts. I'll send it in via PM. Sorry.

Accidently posted voting here.

1) Best Rider : Chris Froome ( Well he won two GT's)
2) Best Team : Sky (Their Results)
3) Best HQ : Euskaltel
4) Best Manager : brewers90 - Never happy, "you can always do better"
5) Best EPIC rider : Adrien Hanzen
6) Best reporter : SSJ2 Luigi

Send it in by PM

Yes PM would be better, also give me a top 5 please

Will you publish the natural de/progression before the real transfer period starts, so you know what stats the rider your bidding on will be ?

Of course!

Even better: I'll let you handle it yourself, so less work for me

I think in all the excitement of the transfer season, we forgot to mention the winner of the first season of EPIC. Congratulation jaxika and Team Sky for winning the team ranking!


Now, for the awards. There's a clear pattern, so we now go to the final vote. I just need 1 name in each category. Here are the nominees (in alphabetic order):

2) Best Team

1) Belkin - Got a surprising 3rd place as a mediocre team

6) Best reporter

Note from the author: A big thank you to Atlantius for putting Stromeon on nr. 1, otherwise everyone would've had the same name as nr. 1. After that, it was really close, so we have 8 final nominees, including 2 who already left the game

1) Atlantius
2) Jesleyh
3) Selwink
4) Sgdanny
5) Shonak
6) Silvio Herklotz
7) SSJ2Luigi
8) The Rider


The voting is open to all. So just 1 name in each category. Also, since I already gave you points, don't feel obligated to vote for me, I can't punish you anymore. Or can I..

You left out that Hanzen beat Brouwer in the showdown And i assume you want voting via PM

Yes please. And I deciced to stick to the official races

Well it was an imporant event nonetheless that people should be made aware of

I protest for Luigi being nominated for best manager, given I dragged him just as much as I did in first survivor

Nah nice to see him up there and nice to see my name up there somehow

Also very odd to see that 5 of 8 nominees for reporters have a nickname starting with S. Just me.

you say that but 2/3 of that winning team is still in Amazing Race

Detour for ever

name: Paco Wrolich
nationality: Austrian
desired team: Ag2r

What about cyclman/orica and schleckfan/astana for the hq nomines? They were very thorough and good.

Mine was also good but wasn't one of the best because it lacked structure(what does it mean?) and layout

Personally I didn't think it lacked structure and layout.

Structure means how it is set up, basically layout.
