Hi all,
I am still in my first season playing with Orica. Really enjoying it as they don't really have a GC contender at first. So i've done well in the hilly classics and also finished 4th in the Giro with Simon Yates.
I'm in June, so will soon be able to go after riders. I want 1 maybe 2 GC contenders and a couple of mountain sargeants so I can compete next season for a podium in the grand tours.
My sponsors want a rider with a bigger reputation than Albasini and also more Aussie riders.
So yes, I will be going after Ritchie Porte of course!
However my question is this. Which other GC riders should I target/shortlist?
Also, which Mountain domestiques would you recommend?
I would be really interested to have your thoughts and discuss potential targets.. |

I'm in work (bored) so can't answer that. Was hoping for some suggestions and will look them up later!
Im not going after the obvious riders like Froome. Looking for riders like Keldermann etc. Who may not win straight away but have good potential. |

For a GC leader I would recommend someone like Majka or Dumoulin, both still young and talented
Mountain domestiques: Diego Rosa and Winner Anacona are both talented aswell with some other colombian and italian mountain goats. Bongiorno, Visconti, Formolo, D. Caruso to name a few.

Thanks - Yes, Majka could be a good shout but Dumoulin is interesting, I'll have a look at him.
Thank you for the domestique, recommendations, thats exactly what I am looking for!
Are there any Aussie domestiques? I can't think of any obvious ones? |

Jack Haig, Robert Power, Nathan Haas, Michael Rogers, Rohan Dennis and Steele Von Hoff could be good additions from Oz. Also Jack Bauer and Jesse Sergent from NZ?

Awesome, I think Rogers would be ideal but may be a bit pricey. So Haig, power and haas will be targets.
Rohan Dennis was awesome for me on previous PCM versions, fingers crossed I can afford him!
Thank you for the suggestions! |

Go to Search. Then filter by Country > Australia. Will give you every Aussie in the game DB all in one place, makes things very easy
