Working a bit more on the calendar. For season 2, I'll be keeping flight-distances more in mind. Calendar actually looking quite good now. I need one more race, though. TMM to the rescue? Given the nationality of the top riders, a race in Ireland or Luxembourg would be nice!

Yeah, Vague is definitely a Winger haha nice

Welling CD, Van Fleming CF, Visconti LWD, Dobransky CD

You can put them in whatever team you want.

Okay, great!
Yeah I had a feeling about Vague
Welling will be on Vague's team. The others will join Cook

Also, Jack Smith will appear as Vague-team's goalkeeper. Smith was forced to retire after a bad injury earlier in the season and will return to say goodbye with his match as a goalkeeper!

Working on a little surprise with the calendar, too. But you'll find out once the next season starts up. Still two races left now, of course

Matt can take part as a left/right back

Tomorrow, maybe

@matt: done!
@TMM; No rush, thanks in advance calendar will be filled with more of your races, it seems...

Love the team name!

I stayed out of Windhoek, i thought you'd stay out of my places

OK deal... from now

Also Rob van Dijk sounds interesting, I guess it depends how good he is, and on interest, and once again I probably have the wrong end of the stick, and I probably should have kept my mouth shut but oh well, but could this maybe, potentially, if only slightly, plus it'll only be until 2018 if true, mean a very slight decrease for a certain someone ...

No. Mud King is a bit over Welling's level, maybe not even that. Certainly not yet close to Cornelis again, he'll need at least two seasons to come to full potential and by then, he's probably old again. I just wanted to have a former champion who failed on the road on my team.

But honestly, I don't know. Havn't thought much about his stats at this point, saying I thought not at all about it. Ian has several times argued that Vague's future isn't straight forward easy as one might think if you read between the lines so I actually fear that Ian will torment my Vague-fanboy soul more than I like in future seasons. Then again, I see no reason why Vague should drop in performance except for maybe some sagan-ish level drop.

JOKE POST


You also stayed out of Geneve.

Non-Joke Post

For the Football, Sylvain is a midfielder, preferably right-mid or a defensive mid. While Pierre is an attackive mid, forward, or left-mid/left-forward. Also Sven isn't a bad centre back.

Some amazing posts, cheers guys! Really made my evening reading those
Mud King sounds interesting for next season!
Arenberg preview tomorrow!

You don't have to use it, but I did make a race in Luxembourg before the start or last season.

Luxembourg is in

Making the calendar and really trying to keep flight distances in mind for this season, even more than I did this season.
A little sneak peak (without giving away too much of any new races or races not on the program:



Though if you look carefully, you might discover some new location(s)

The long distances (especially to other continents) are always at least 1 week apart. Only tough spot may be from Lancaster to Antafagosta (Chile), which is from a Wednesday to Sunday. Still managable, though, since there is no time difference!

Read the map like this: start with black lines in Belgium - GB - Australia - NZ - America - S-America - Africa - back to Europe, go to blue line and eventually red.
Continental & World Championships not included.

Note that the above map is only provisional.
For example, I've now seen there's a bit of a silly thing going on by going from Sweden to Ukraine etc and then returning close to Norway. Changed that on the calendar to go from Sweden to Norway to Ukraine

I can see a few new events, possibly more TMM events The 7 out of 8 events from SF to Struisbaai is awesome for me

Love the map, great info. Will the second SA race be superprestige or World Cup?

Port Elisabeth will be World Cup
The new Alpe d'Huez cross will be a new Superprestige race, though! Expect trouble there

Arenberg preview can be found here!


Also, some areas on the map are wildly unused, if I see it like that. Internationality is definitely part of the new CX, but Europe remains boss, looking at that map.
