Whoops, forgot about this totally.

I don't have time right now and I don't want to slow the game down so there is a manager spot free for Astana.

Sorry!

I'll keep you in the game for now, plenty of other spots open. As I said, no permanent damage is done if you miss the first round.

Thinking about it, you're right, most Pro Conti Teams in a lot of wouldn't do much more than filling up the back end of the Peloton.
Can't wait to create a rider though!

Wohooow, Sutty is in!

And no one likes Vacansoleil

Great to be onboard

my riders

Just wanted to get my riders in early because I don't have much time and I have missed things too many times before. Also I don't really understand the rules so tell me if I've made any mistakes, especially with the last guy, I did hill and endurance last so not sure if it really works, because he is just too OP, even for me!

Firmansyah Sinaga
18
Indonesia
Climber

Firmansyah grew up in Britain, but both his parents are from Jakarta so he has always considered himself an Indonesian, he was part of a small amateur team and came from the North of England, near Newcastle and was a firm friend of Walter Susilo, (shameless self advertisement) and was one of the people who persuaded him to take up cycling, now he hoped to follow in his friends footsteps and become the second Indonesian cyclist.

Pieter Furan

Sprinter

Pietor is an evil genius from the HIVE books, (shameless other people promotion) but if you thought he was older, and dead... You were wrong... Now he decided to take up cycling, a good escape from Russian assassins I guess and now he has a fantastic turn of pace.

Delfi Cervero

Costa Rica
Puncher

Delfi is a Costa Rican, he has ruden his bike since he was very young and did it hours a day, often neglecting his studies to go riding, well he may not be the sharpest tool on the box but he is a world class puncher, even at such a young age. The hills of Costa Rica have perfectly prepared him for the Ardennes classics in Spring, that is where he'll hope to shine.

Signups not open yet, I'm still doing the final touches. The spots aren't limited, so don't be afraid to be left out

Do I have to write that again?

Just copy paste it into the other thread

Just saying, are you playing as Belkin or a control team or are Belkin a control team?

All reporters will use a passive control team outside the league, like An Post or something

How are the rules regarding the number of riders?

A total max (30?) or a max number of Custom riders?

I'd prefer either the last or the possibility of sacking one or two riders to replace with custom riders (Euskaltel has 29 riders as default)

Hopefully we can get the last WT place filled and maybe a few more conti teams

Also like to add, what about WT teams with small squads? My team has 24 rides, with 2custom 26. Which will be 3-4 less than almost every other WT team, putting me at a disadvantage in terms of planning (less flexibility).

Not saying i must have more better riders or something, but being able to sign one or two more custom riders would help (especially when CT teams like IAM and Europcar with large squads can sign 6 riders)

30 riders is the cap yes, you may have to fire some riders.

If people feel they are in need of extra riders after the young riders are donne, I'll see what I can do for them. Don't expect any world class additons though

So in my case I am allowed to sack one rider for each rider the roster is over 30 in the end?
And is there then a limit to the number of riders I can sack? (Don't worry I wont abuse it - would just like to perhaps be able to sign more than one and have the rules clear before I go further into negotiations).

These riders would be obvious possibilities to get for the smaller teams.

So could i sign 1-2 more riders, provided they were domestique level?

Atlantius, I guess you can sack as many riders you want, though you can only sign 2 custom riders as a WT team..

TMM, I'll take care of that when we get there (when the database with the offical rosters is avialable. Don't want to break my head on that right now

Name: SSJ2Luigi & Jesleyh
Nationality: Both
Desired Team: Europcar

(I discussed this with Ollfardh, and it was allright. Luigi will be the leading manager, opening the HQ, handling PMs with Ollfardh etc.
We both have the same rights in theory though, and will discuss every decision together, so if a rider is desperate for a team for example, you could PM me instead of Luigi as well )
