While everyone is still here, let's get the goals underway. One easy, one medium, one hard, post in your HQ!

And Wildcard round 2 closes sunday evening, if you want additional races, apply now

Jesleyh is on vacation. that means


I GET TO DECIDE SOMETHING

and do you need a motivation for extra CT races?

If you go above those 10, yes

Do WT teams need to motivate extra CT races?

Always

When is the deadline for the goals? Because I'd like to wait for confirmation of last Wildacards.

PS. Sorry for the 2 pm's. Accidentally clicked send twice.

Probably somewhere next week

Wildcard round 2 closed, result coming shortly.

PS: Organisers don't like to hear you apply for a race just to build form or because you happen to have some racedays left

As example almost every team who participate in Vuelta Espana use the Vuelta Burgos to build form. The organisers IRL doesnt said to the likes of Nibali, Arroyo, Quintana, Landa, Sami Sanchez, Navarro, Cataldo to go elsewhere to find form

Well, if they get those names, that might change the situation of course. But compared to teams who seem really motivated, no

Anyway, round 2 results. As usual, all wildcards (round 1 and 2) were granted unless you're in the list below. Round 3 starts now, you can remotivate wildcards and apply for new ones, as many as you like now. Final round, so certain managers (Lampre, OPQS, Androni) really need to send in a list now. IAM, Cofidis and Astana seem absent as well.

Wildcards not yet accepted:
Pologne: Colombia
Burgos: Sky
Plouay: CCC, Colombia
GP Wallonie: Cannondale, Sky
Milano-Turino: Katusha, Sky
Piemonte: Katusha, Sky
Lombardia: Caja Rural
Beijing: Bardiani, CCC, Colombia
Paris-Tours: Garmin, Orica
Chrono: Radioshack
Japan: Katusha

PS: Eneco Tour is full already (as are Tour de France & Vuelta)

well Sutty is of age, he likely just forgot although he doesn't seem to be as much involved into things as he used to be, there are even stories which even he doesn't follow
it's mine, i'm sad now

Is GP Wallonie rejection just a motivation thing, or does everyone want to ride there?

Don't be sad its just my alzheimer's playing up

How much race days we have for each rider ?

62

mvh - a bit of both. I've allowed race missing motivation if there was little or no interest. Races with lots of applications (like Walllonie or Burgos) need good motivation

Keep working on those goals and updates, people

Oh, and would anyone be interested in reporting le Tour? That will be the first big problem we face. PM me if so
