As everyone said, a great season for the game. While my team struggled for most of the year, it was great to be a part of such a well-run and reported game. Thankfully, missing half the season didn't actually cost me that much so it was easy enough to get back into after a while of inactivity too.
As for the World Champs discussion, knockout has a point with the amount of riders needed to make a decent simulation. I don't think you would need as many as 20 signed riders to have it succeed (especially seeing as Bikex will be creating two teams of unsigned riders for each one), but I'm not an expert on the game's mechanics.
Looking forward to making some better decisions this off-season (half my squad should be available for a trade) and hopefully getting something more than the occasional glimpse of success next year.
On the NCs I got to agree with knockout, less might be more in this case. Those excelfiles looked like they did a good job last season and when you only read the results anyway there isn't that much of a difference.
Posted U21 (regens) and U23 timetrials
Something with the times went wrong there, with all the "s.t."s. I guess that's because I made the TT route on a RR circuit and the presettings had a rider within 4 seconds will be counted as same time. I'll fix it for the pro TT.
And now I understand TMM and his attempt to keep Kelderman away from Jesleyh in story games better than ever. Most have been a great joy over all those years
Celesio domination in the U23 champs. I thought for a second that i have a strong core of talents but this reminds me that theirs is incredible as well.
Eurosport with a great U21 race. My guys not too bad as well.
Great U23 TT from the Celesio boys. 5 riders in the top 10 and a 1-2. Not really surprising to see Jungels win, but I did not expect Mohoric in 2nd. Only could have been better if we got the full podium.
Of the two guys I might be able to sign, one finished well off the pace and the other didn't make the national squad. I'd be happy with what you've got Luigi
Solid ride by the GB team there. A bit disappointed that Simon couldn't finish it off because the two ahead of him are no better on that type of route.
Angus with a good ride there in the U21s. Is this the start of a golden era for New Zealand?

There are more good news: since the stage db is working now I could download Pellizotti2 Fleche Wallonne and create a WC race these are the routes:
Added the TT championships now, I tried something new and took a video and uploaded it to youtube of the last starters, see in spoiler

Also at the road race of the U23 I made a video of the last kms

It's all a little laggy and in the U23 race you constantly hear my keyboard but I thought you'd might appreciate if you could also watch a race sometimes, not only me
Will do that also in the Road Race.
