@PeterRyder: Yes one rider. But you also still need to get an addition of 205 wage into your dev team to reach the required minimum of 1000. I'd suggest you still sign 2 more U23 team eligible riders.

@Shonak: The race was last year the last stage of the Tour of Eritrea: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1023584
back then a break won, but I consider that unlikely to happen again, as the field in will be much bigger. Behind two riders came in solo ahead of a small group and behind a still very big peloton. So pretty much everything can happen. The last climb is between 4 and 5 kilometres long but only gets very steep in the last k.

Shame you didn't pick one of the African one day races I suggested

For the rest, I like the calendar. Think Talansky should be able to score good here (I may hope so at least )

Looking very much forward towards competing in the PT - in particular the GT's.

Always the request for these things is three slightly differing GT's perhaps one a little chrono heavy, another mountain heavy one and one that has a decent number of hilly danger stages. Obviously they all need at least a couple of nasty mountainous ones and at least one ITT. Cobbles are always a bit dangerous in pcm - not a fan of these in GT's with a decent amount of cobbles on the calender already.

Love some of the unique races great work BikeX

Sorry.
I wanted, but then decided that it would be the best to add an Eritrean race with the best Africans (from WT) coming from there.

A cheeky The Rider makes a bold move

Worth a try, if he doesn't sell someone soon someone good will be taken away from him and dumped on the FA for the rest of the season.

Deadline for new riders put up for transfers is 24 hours from now. Until then you probably won't hear from me again as I'm going to a vacation and will have internet only after that again.

Well, his main problem is he's not here enough to actually make a deal. I might as well be sending pigeons to him with offers.

In short, he's fucked.

Now the transfers are finished I am really looking forward to seeing how Bardet, Matthews and Cav perform for us this season.

I have been doing a bit of early planning to get a feel if my team can survive in the PT and to ring out every race day. It might all be down to whether Cav has a good season.

My lack of depth really shows during the triple header, some riders will be left to look after themselves, not sure how this will go in PCM15.

Left some race days for the three GTs but will only manage a decent team for two of them, but which two. Can't wait to find out .

I think you had the best transfers out of the promoted teams imo, you'll hardly have to worry about relegation. I do hehe, just the last FA session to go and I need to sign 7 riders for my team to work as I want it, which is definitely nit ideal. Fortunately Moser should score really well this year and Cataldo will be a good leader for the CT races while I think I have some decent depth as for thr classics.

Sorry Silvio and Jakstar but the last deal was after the deadline so it's not valid.
Post Round 2.3 database: https://www.mediafire.com/download/a35...-R2.3.xlsx

Achieve Northside ended with 0 budget left, but still had to sign one rider, that's why I decided to remove Jakob Fuglsang from the team. He will be available to all teams in the last FA round. On top of that Achieve Northside had to pay a fine of 195, so the remaining budget is only the minimum wage of Fuglsang, so no better rider can be bought.

I'll post the last FA round soon.

Mh, pretty sad. But that one's on me...

Damn he was mine (Jakob Fuglsang) now i cant affort him [img-r]https://pcmdaily.com/images/smiley/sad.gif[/img-r]

So if there's only one more FA round, what happens if someone fails to fill their team?

Bikex does.

The last round of Transfers is on.
For the FA biding download this file: https://www.mediafire.com/download/m7c...nts+3.xlsx
Please try to fill your team in this round. UNHCR, Smartone, Ecopetrol, Leopard and Renova still need to fill their U23 team, so remember that.
If you miss out on enough riders in this round, you can send me a PM afterwards with FAs you want to sign. Remaining riders would be distributed by the FCFS princip.

Also this time the second part of the round will be different with an open biding on riders that got several bids.

Looks like I have some money to spare - do you want to know how much we can spend on talent focus and research yet BikeX? or wait until after the bedlam of the last minute.com teams

You don't need to tell where to destine money until the end of the season, when you'll actually have to spend it, at least as far as I know/remember.

And some horrible miscounting by myself, apparently I need two more rider rather than one.

Just to be sure I'm not miscounting:

We need 23 riders for WT and 8 for DT, right? Because the sheet says I only have to fill my dev team and don't need anybody for WT, but I have 21 riders for the main team only.

(Oh and riders with AVG 72.0 may ride in the dev team, right?)
