Outside the last 12 hours is most definitely fair game! Only last 6 or so becomes a bit meh but it's not like it's against the rules

Bystrom, Vanmarcke and Ndayisenga secured!  A good trio of sub-top leaders and a young lieutenant. While i'm not getting any talents, i like how i'm making the squad younger and sustainable for the coming years

Great trio Aquarius, a fan of that

11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Nothing wrong with his bid, I'm just sick of being outbid

Hahaha, Booker having Valls this season is superironic given our fights in the CT mountains last year
I hope he delivers but not too much so you don't finish ahead of me in the standings
He was sad to hear he’d be a lonely domestique on a dynasty in the PT. He was mentally prepared to be a PCT leader for a newly promoted team. Luckily, we found him

Hope Bystrom will be good for you Aquarius97. 
It was a nice price for you, myself bought him for 1.300.000 two years ago but yes that was a to high price. #biddingwar
Looked throw the FA market now and I bet ryant is happy with his latest confirms, Louis Meintjes, Andrew Fenn & Tim Kennaugh.
Congrats on those signings! |

Guarnieri going to the CT division  That's quite something, and definitely calls for a good luck to all other CT teams banking on their sprinter, I think
Congratulations, Sykkel_Freak! |

Venchi is back! Congrats, second best CT sprinter after Daniel Thorsen.

Thanks! Quite an expensive rider for a CT team obviously, but hopefully he can deliver to my expectations and prove himself worthy of the money

There's no denying Thorsen's talent, and I'm honestly fine with not having the fastest sprinter. It takes a bit of pressure off

I'm pretty happy with Nazaret who may well be my only signing this season who is actually maxed out

It will be interesting to see how many of those talents you'll be able to keep in the CT then

Happy to just having sealed my future cobbled leader in Nathan Van Hooydonck with potential 80 cobbles on 71 hill and even 74 TT depending on what kind of training. One terrain, which I hugely ignored for the past years.
That said: His 73 cobble stat this year on level 2.0 means, he will be one of my leaders already in 2018 alongside MG legend Lars Boom.
Winner of E3 Prijs, Viana do Castelo, Tour of Northern Europe! Who better to learn from except for maybe Bewley?
Let`s hope the AI makes then ride aggressive in breaks then. |

Hmpf. The perfect ToNE guy. If I hadn't committed to my plan A already, 120k wouldn't have been his final wage for sure. Really good deal imo.
On the other hand, giving him the Cancellara gains means he'll need to fight the Nuyens etc. curse of an incredibly low SP ruining many results. Still, if Kluge and Boom can win ToNE, van Hooydonck can win it five times in a row, and that's certainly worth a shot.

Congrats on that signing roturn, still quite good wage.
His thread has almost 200 views I bet I was like 50 of them but never made a bid, kinda regret that now But guess you had more wage left for him either way |

I feel for a perfect TONE, he would need some hill training maybe.
And yes, the training might be a mix to get his sprint higher on cost of TT a bit. Not sure yet.
The other 150 views were from me probably. |

I fought for him quite some time, but people making me use my money on other targets, made me forget about him Great rider, one that could really benefit from the Fabian training
