Yeah, sounds like a good idea. Someone can check if Quintana will reach 83MO this season? Otherwise, Imma go berserk on the cobblez market.

Good idea Bikex. Some challange won't hurt 
@shonak: He won't, the research last offseason just pushed him a tick over what he needed for 82. Gains a point in TT though.

Amazing!

Bikex - have you got a provisional list of what the WT looks like, team-wise, for next season? |

It turns out Geyer is eligible for another year of Dev Team the way I want him to develop ... 
Would make my Dev Team next year even stronger. As if Kovacic / Engeldinger / Geissler / etc. are not strong enough.
Anyone who gifts me some training packages (enough to increase his AVG) can stop that though
Great to see that sheat. Waited for this moment

I might as well rename us to Team Yates now and be done with it...

Is Scandinavia allowed as secondary nations? 
Just took a look at the Celesio webpage to see where they operate... 13 countries besides Germany.  |

Oh sorry
I even expanded the riders that were showed to a number I believed noone would had but I didn't check..
Do you want me to make a new file for you or does it work? |

it's fine, just sorting by A-Z for development team and Z-A for main team

For now I can only tell these teams are for sure in WT:
 | Allianz - BMW Cycling Team | jaxika |  | Bunzl - Centrica | brewers90 | | CarbonSports Cycling - Lightweight | knockout | | Celesio Pro Cycling | mvhoogdalem |  | Ecopetrol - Vivo | Cyclotron |  | Eurosport - Pepsi | DaveTwoBob |  | Filliers - Mora Pro Cycling Team | Ollfardh |  | Illes Balears | Shonak |  | Italo - Ventilair | Bikex |  | LA - Antarte | Luis Leon Sanchez | | Prorace - La Boulangère | The Rider | | Saeco - Cannondale | Smowz |  | Smartone Cycling Team | Jakstar22 | | Team Alitalia | matt17br |  | Vegeta Cycling Team | SSJ2Luigi |
That means there remain three spots open which will be filled by:
Achieve Northside Skinnergate, Fiskars, SAP, Team Cymru or TVM depending on if I'll enforce WT relegations. |

How many CT teams do we have? Because it could be a good option to only keep one division as we don't really had too many active teams for two divisions?

^ Thanks.
A real shame that Silvio has just disappeared completely. That said, these things happen.
Without doubt, for me, SAP and TVM should be the next teams to go up, decent squads already, competitive, active and decent results. I am sure the relegated teams (Skinnergate/Fiskars) from ICL15 will be more comfortable in the CT.
Decent idea from knockout, to be considered. However, I think we have too many teams already for that and that would mean some teams miss out on GTs or classics. Though, if Bikex rejects some teams that could be on the cards! |

TVM - competitive maybe, but not great results I have been sending our best possible squads to most WT events though so we end up looking much better than we really are. Maybe WT relegations shouldn't be enforced if there are 3-4 teams dropping out anyway, so it could be a moot point.
I agree with the point about the teams. I think there's about 30 teams already in the game now (not including U23s) so having a second/CT division is the best idea.

^ Modesty! I just compared TVM to those two relegated teams and found that TVM have 3 of the best 5 riders out of all three teams, Bos being the best of everyone.
I agree with you that relegations shouldn't be enforced, always, however not in this case.

Quite some quality on the free market again if teams like Gazprom and Avia dont return.

Gazprom
In this case especially it would be a big loss. Silvio doesn't show up for about a month now and just disappeared silently. Hopefully he'll return (very very) soon

there are going to be lay-offs for sure, hopefully to make room for Kwiatkowski and some other Croatians/Hungarians to replace the oldies

Just about to get started with the rider development file. I haven't done one before so I've got a few questions that I'm hoping someone can answer.
1. Can the research that I did be used now or does that come later?
2. How do I filter out the guys with 0.00 progress points before I start assigning training programs? Can I just sort column Y to only include 'greater than 0.00' or is it more complicated than that?
Thanks in advance

Just wondering, what riders will become available?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
