I'll never know why people sign up to stuff like this and then instantly disappear!! And it could potentially ruin it for everyone else. Happened with my story aswell.

You're handling it well Ollfardh, even if your season planning sucks .

That's it, Rodriguez and Moreno to every BMC race!

Like they could deal with Jeremy Powers, the new Danny Pate. Let's see how they get on in the cobbled races

I'm still here, and following. Just no time for posting due to exams.

I just realised we made it into the news! I want to thank all players and especialy the reporters for making this possible

What news ?

The weekly news, oh and the New York Times.
Nice going, this could last a while ( tough wood ) so let's get the vaguely interesting part of the season started! Yay.

Oh look, it's the general thread

Why not re-title it to include the words "general thread"? Take out the applications open as well, no-one is going to join mid-part/season

Right, while we wait for more reports, I'll start explaining the first season break a bit.

During the last few races, I'll ask for startlists of the Continental Championships. We will then start the break, hopefully welcoming a few more managers or riders. I'll explain the advancement method and the Continental Championships will be run. We'll have the wildcard applications and goals set for the second part of the season while the database adjustments are being made. Hopefully all this won't take too long and we can continue with RVV soon

If there's any way I can help with that when we get there, just let me know.

So will there be an Pan-American ITT Championship? If so, pretty confident with Phinney and Van Garderen.

That's only if Sky don't send Pate.
What will the course for the Asian be? I vote for cobbles!

All tracks will be the 2012 WC race. And yes, 3 TT and RR races: Europe, all of America and Africa+Azia+Australia. So 6 races total.

8 or 9 riders?

1-9 like IRL. But more specific info will come later on

Okay, but for Europe I would consider a limit on riders per country per team. So you can't just take 9 Spaniards or Dutch riders, though as you're the Belkin manager, you will be against this no doubt .
I'd suggest maximum 5-6 riders from any one country, which will make the race more diverse and stop it from becoming a National Championship for teams like Movistar and Belkin.

And i suggest Orica have the choice between bringing Simon Gerrans and nobody else, or 9 riders that are not Simon Gerrans, because it'll be a tad too predictable otherwise.

Yeah, and then you are allowed to bring only one US-american into the american continental championships
