All EPIC riders (with teams for next season):

Great decision Ollfardh, really glad to see Krista accepted.

Would be great if someone could drag out a special skin for the female. Maybe TMM, or someone, has one from something like the comic database?

- Ollfardh - Feel free to send me a PM, with the inactive riders so I can take 'em off that list if you please.

Guys, this is all about the fun, don't forget that

Though I kinda like that we are now comparing who is doing more for EPIC, imo nobody "has" to do anything or should feel anny pressure at all to work for it. It's basically about wanting to participate and the will to bring it forward. So, in which way ever anybody helps here, that's fine - and we don't have to bitch about all that.

And please don't get personal about anything anybody just said being a bit inappropriate or people's avatars. Cause then I would be screwed with not only my avatar but also my name

More on the topic: I feel sad for the alien with the name I really can't remember. But I really like that Ollfardh just made a decision. Sometimes it feels like we use to discuss things too long without anything happening, so I kinda like how this worked

Nope. Stop being a hypocrite. You say we can't have aliens in EPIC yet what are you doing about the one that just won the Tour de France??!!

Dodging the important issues won't make you popular Verbruggen!

Breaking news: UCI just decided Van Garderen is leaving BMC

Good signing for Belkin.

can you come up with a normal respones

he says something I don't like, you lose points/a rider, you lose points/a rider, everbody loses points/a rider

It's the UCI, power abuse > rational arguments

Hey, you! You there! Yes, you. I don't like you.

Time to ruin his bio passport then.

So... what do you do if your rider(s) can't get a team.

I'll assign, but at the moment there are quite a few teams who don't have any riders yet, and the teams going down to the CT will be able to sign 1 extra at the end of the season.

ok thanks.

This reminds me that i still wanted to do a third rider (19y old) to replace Johnny Schmidt.

Oh and if i prefer to have that replacement unsigned for Part I if no (good) offer comes in instead getting assigned to a random team then this would be okay, too, wouldnt it?

Name: Hélder Tsonga Martinez
Age: 20
Nationality: Angola
Rider type: Fighter / Climber
Short Bio:

Helder grew up in the area of the Tala Mugongo mountain and his school was located half way up the mountain , that had an average of 15 %. One day when he was going to school, he saw a bicycle along the roadside and took the rusty cycle to school, when he came home he began to fix on the cycle and became very occupied in fixing this bike.

When he became 18, he packed a bag and began to walk to the nearest city, with the help of the publicity he got the possesion of money enough to buy a ticket to Portugal, and before he knew it he was in Lisboa. But as he would soon find out, that no one wanted to hire him for labour, so he brought a tiny bike and began to explore for a place, where you could go to cycling and a few years later he had gotten his first contract as Staglaire with Banco BIC and now he has set to take the EPIC scene with storm!

Welcome Helder, a certain African team might try to contact you

knockout, I guess you could do that, but the rider won't be able to progress if he's inactive

You could try to make those transfers, so they are the most realistic, like a belgian rider goes to Topsport, then post your suggestion for the transfers, and see if everyone agrees with it ?

You don't want to be in a managerless team, it's not fun, trust me.

At the moment, Lampre, Argos, OPQS, AG2R and a few others don't have any signed riders yet, and a lot of teams have an open spot. There will also be more managers by next season, so don't worry if you haven't found a team yet

But yeah, an African is always good for MTN, plus I could use some climbers.
