König and Tsatevich 
Seem like more than decent enough leaders I guess, and then Sklar as good talent (I hope). 6 Pot and 22 y/o, seems great at least, 73MO is decent enough anyways. TTT squad not too bad either.

I'm back from vacation. Didn't have internet the last two days as the hotel wifi broke and they showed no interest at all in fixing it. 
Did I understand right that the 1.2 FA round is for players who already bid on riders only?

yeah indeed
that´s bad luck for you :/ but some intelligent transfers and a decent round 2 can make up for that...

It could actually work in the ICL format, but you need to enter better riders in a lot of worse races and rely on those. My problem was my best did the best races, and my worst did the worst races, and I got no points. California was a happy accident, though.

If you're referring to 1.2, I'm right there with you. The result of my bids could decide the direction of my entire team for the season.

I´m with you as well...funny thing with me is:
if I get none of the riders I bid on in 1.2 I´m fucked - if I get all I´m fucked too
it´s a tough peace of gambling how deep to go, so hard to judge everything right

The pressure to get these tie-break bids right is immense actually!

That's certainly true. I did have a similar problem, but from my experience even when we had guys like Gesink and Bos competing in CT.2 races (where they were the riders with the highest AVG stats) they weren't dominant enough, even though we usually had a far stronger team of domestiques than the WT teams.
It could work but it's very hard to predict which riders they will be competing against. But the surprise victories were fantastic, I remember that

DonnyBrasco (Heineken) didn't login since signing up, so I don't expect much more in the future from him.
It's obvious what happened to DonnyBrasco, isn't it? ......
Spoiler
.... he got whacked. 
Lufthansa are one of the stand-out new teams after R.1 for me. Really interested to see if any big names go to CT in R1.2.
And jaxika - buyers remorse?!

Results for Round 1.2: https://www.mediafire.com/download/96c...-R1.2.xlsx
Also all teams that haven't participated at the first round got now riders added. Transfers between teams will start later, but I'll now already open a Transfer Discussion Thread in which you can write about riders you are looking to buy/sell.

Darn, missed out on Quintana. Unfortunately, we have no plan B.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
