I still need you to send in 3 focus races. How you perform in these races have an influence on your budget for next season. Within these races has to be at least one stage race and one one-day race. Also these three races will have to be designed for at least two different leader types. So e.g. sending in two mountainous stage races and a mountain classic won't work. Other than that you are free to choose from every race you are participating in, no matter if WT or CT team/race. Depending on how much points you score in the focus race you get money added or removed from next season's budget. The TdF can bring the biggest bonus in budget, but when failed it can also give the biggest minus. After that there are monuments/other GTs, WT, CT.1, CT.2 races in that order. This task has only to be done for your main team, not the U23 team.

World Cup as Goal

It's now possible to also make a worldcup goal. While also CT teams can do that, it's really only recommended for WT teams. It can either be individual or team worldcup, please specify that. When making a World Cup goal you'll have to replace one Focus Race. How the worldcup works is specified here: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1200448
You can take the main World Cup as goal it will be as much worth as a GT or monument, discipline World Cups can bring as much money as World Tour Races, except for the TT worldcup which will count as much as a CT.1 race. When taking a world cup goal you don't have to take a oneday race as another Focus race. When choosing a speciality world cup, you cannot take 2 more races with that speciality as focus race.

do you want this in PM?

Yes

Do we also need to send in a target result for the target races (top 3, top 5, etc.) ala PCM sponsor objectives?

No

Meh had hoped the one one-day race would be stretched, really don't like to have one day races as a goal.

And that's the first time Stybar/Purito come back to haunt Shonak. I'll try to keep the count

Actually no, because neither Purito nor Stybar got a goal race last year.

As my computer died, I'm not sure when I can get the planning done. If you want to start the season, no need to wait for me.

If you want i can help you with planning.

I have made a folder with the planners of teams that I know won't be able to do the planning: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3v1n3ptrzn...7bjga?dl=0

Would be great if someone could help me with doing them. I think Croatia wrote that he could do some, is that still the case?

Just write in here to pick a team to do the planning. All of those teams, except for Schuh have not picked any focus races yet, so would be great if they could be picked also by the person who does the planner.

There will certainly be some more planners added still, will also add the Celesio ones now. For some other teams I still have the hope that the managers can do their own planning.

of course, after 1:00 today I'm available

Will once again be able to do a couple of them during the weekend.

Me too. I can make some until weekend.

I would start with Celesio and their dev team tomorrow

Sure, I'll do one of the unmanaged teams. Heineken preferably, since as a Dutch team they probably have a few similar races to my team which would make it quicker to complete.

Ill make Schuc then for first.

did Celesio both main and Dev team, will continue with Specialized Dev Team

both Specialized teams are done

I'm so sorry but I will have my planner and goals sent over tonight!
