Andy Schleck against cyclists like Froome, Contador or Quintana? Don´t make me laugh so loud    
There will be 18 teams, I already have the leaders, but I have to make the teams and to put the sponsors. And make the presentations...

Hello friends, especially the Irish ones. I am Daniel Martin and I´m inscribing at Oleg Tinkov´s Superleague. Why? Maybe I am not the best climber, but with some points I´ll earn in the hills and some good positions in the mountains, it could be easy to be in Top 8 of the final classification.
I start with my team.
Glanbia will sponsorize us, and my teammates will be Nicolas Roche, Ryan Mullen, Oliver Zaugg, Maxime Monfort, Nathan Haas, Ryder Hesjedal and Tom-Jelte Slagter. Maybe the leader, me, isn´t the most powerful climbing, but with some great domestiques I hope I´ll get some good results,
Now, I´ll make a review of my seasons as professional. My first win as professional was in 2008, when I won Route du Sud. In 2009, I got another good result being 2nd in Volta a Catalunya. In 2010 I got 4 wins: Tour de Pologne + 1 stage, Tre Valli Varesine and Japan Cup.
2011... my first grand tour win! I won in La Vuelta in La Covatilla. In that Vuleta I was 13th in General Classification. I also won Giro della Toscana and a stage of Tour de Pologne. And another good result, being 2nd in Giro di Lombardia.
My 2012 season wasn´t very good, because my only "win" was the mountain classification of Tour de Beijing. I could say also being 4th in Tour de Beijing and in Volta a Catalunya.
But 2013 was my best season by far. I got my best win in 2013. Liège-Bastogne-Liège! I also won Volta a Catalunya (+1 stage) and I also won a stage in le Tour, in Bagnères de Bigorre. I was also 2nd in Tour de Beijing.
To finish, 2014. I won another monument, Il Lombardia. I also repeated the 2nd place in General Classification of Tour de Beijing and I was 2nd in La Fèche Wallonne. To finish, I was 7th in La Vuelta.
Well, this presentation has finished, I hope you all like my team and me. Good luck to all the teams and leaders! I hope we´re having a good Superleague!
Bye!

SECOND PART OF THE SEASON
Our friend Oleg Tinkov continues releasing races for the new Superleague. Now, the second part of the schedule.
After Tour of Oman, which is the last race of the first part, riders will face the first classic of the season. It´s a new race Tinkov has included there. The name is Trofeo Mallorca. Maybe the race is new but the route is the same as other race; Trofeo Serra Tramuntana. It´s a tough stage, with a lot of short and steep climbs which will make suffer some cyclists.
Classic profile:
And then, riders will continue with stage races. This time Critérium International will give points to the riders. The format is the same as other years´ one. First stage is flat; second stage is an Individual Time Trial and third stage is a mountain stage with finish in Col de l´Ospedale, a summit with 11.6 kms at 7.4% as average slope.
Stages profiles:
Cauberg... Mur de Huy... Côte de Ans... Which one you prefer? What do you think about when you hear that names? When you see this, you´ll remember always this race. To finish this second part of the season, riders will face one of the toughest and most beautiful races of the year. It´s another new stage race called Le Triptique d´Ardennes. It includes routes of Amstel Gold Race, Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège. Maybe some riders will be waiting for this stage race, specially the punchers. Anyway, this race will be difficult and beautiful for all riders.
Stages profiles:
More is coming!

Hello to all! I am the Colombian Nairo Quintana and I write this because I want to sign in this amazing (at least it looks amazing) idea by Oleg Tinkov.
I´m going to talk a bit about my best results.
I´m starting with 2012. My best win with Movistar Team was in Vuelta a Murcia, in March, when I won the first stage and the General Classification beating people like Poels or Tiernan-Locke. In Vuelta a Madrid I managed to be 2nd in GC and in GC. Was Firsanov who could beat me. My successes that season didn´t finish then. I won 6th stage in Critérium du Dauphiné in Morzine, I won GC and a stage of Route du Sud, the Team Time Trial of La Vuelta and Giro dell´Emilia. So I had 7 wins, which was really good for me.
I improved a lot in 2013. I haven´t any good results until Vuelta a Catalunya. I won Vallter 2000 stage and I was 4th in GC. The next race I rode was Vuelta al PaÃs Vasco. I won in Arrate (4th stage) and I stole Henao´s leadership in last time-trial. I won a World Tour stage race!
With those good results I travelled to Porto-Vecchio to ride Tour. I did a great race and I managed to be 2nd at the finish! Only the Super-Froome could beat me there! I also won Mountain and Youth classifications and Annecy-Semnoz stage. My last good result of the year was winning Vuelta a Burgos and a stage.
In 2014 I started really well, winning the stage of Tour de San Lusi with finish in Cerro el Amago. I also got teh GC and the KoM. Good beginning! My first World Tour race of the year was Tirreno, where I was 2nd behind Alberto Contador. I also rode Catalunya (5th in GC) before the Giro. I was the favourite for winning and I knew it. I just did what I can do, ride well and try to win. I finally win in Trieste with a difference of almost 3 minutes with Urán. I also won 2 stages, in Val Martello and in Cima Grappa. And the Youth Classification, of course!
I also rode two more races. Vuelta a Burgos (1st in GC + win in Lagunas de Neila) and Vuelta. People told I was the favourite once again, but in Borja´s ITT I fell. Next day, riding to Aralar, I fell again, so I had to retire. It was a shame, because I was feeling really well and I couldn´t do my best.
Time to present my team whose sponsor wll be Movistar. My squad? Sergio and Sebastian Henao, Miguel Angel Rubiano, Dayer Quintana, Winner Anacona, Igor Antón and Gorka Izagirre.
Bye!

Hello my friends specially the Aussies and the Kiwis ones.
Why do I say that?
Because my team will be named Oceania Qantas Team. My teammates will be George Bennett, Jesse Sergent, Michael Rogers, Chris Sutton, Matthew Goss, Caleb Ewan, Rohan Dennis and Campbell Flakemore.
Yes, I know we are 9, but I have to quit at least a cyclist, and I don´t know who. In a few days or weeks I´ll communicate who is out.
Now I´ll make a short overview of my 2014 season. I started on the National Championships of Australia, where I only could be 3rd in Road Race. I didn´t participate in ITT Champs. Then I continued riding in my country. I was 4 th in Tour Down Under after winning in Old Willunga Hill and being 6th in Stirling as my best results. Then, Vuelta a AndalucÃa. 2nd in GC behind Valverde with 3 Top 10 in 3 stages.
Then I abandoned in Catalunya, Tirreno-Adriático, Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Romandie. Then I rode Critérium with bad results and Tour, where I needed to be leader after Froome´s crash. Bad, very, very bad. 23rd in General Classification... bad, bad, really bad.
I also rode Ploauy and Vattenfall, abandoning in both races.
I hope 2015 will be at least better than 2014, I´ll try to do my best with those great teammates.
Bye!
