It's 2017(used kissaha senoble game then played one season and made transfers for teams) and 8 teams want you to be there manager who do you decided?(team that reaches 7 points first i will write a story about.
Pro Tour Options:
Team Eurosport:
Picking up where kissaha left of but without star cobbler Vermote(Quick Step) and climber George Bennet still in the protour and with good all round strength. Under performed by there own standered last season with Pinot 3rd in the Tour and Offerdo 4th in Roubaix
Mercatone Uno:
The strong italien giant with Giro Winner Ricardo Riccio and the cobble duo Pozzato and Griziato make it an especially tasty prospect though with the doping history through the team Riccio Mosquera are both on the team is it worth the risk?
Red Bull Racing:
The most powerful squad in cycling is how they are described with Farrar, Goss, Hausslar and Van Garderren it is tasty but are they too powerful for there own good do they hjave too many leaders?
Contiental Tour Options:
Cafe De Columbia:
The columbians strike back with the most powerful columbian team put together yet Uran, Henao, Soler, Duarte, Ardila they blitz the tour last year with Uran getting a Stage Win in the high mountains but are they just a mountain team and will they adapt to the flat stages?
Fanta - Geox:
The spanish team formerly known as Sanuiver Duval, Geox and now Fanat Geox have plenty of options in all departments with sprinter hilly riders and climbers perfect for short tours and trying to get a veulta wildcard.
Giant - ING:
The English/Americain team commend respect with world championship 7th Ian Bibby who was also 3rd in the ITT Cuadrado leads them in most races and with some decent sprinters they have chances of good results.
Telenor - SAS:
The Norwigean team with a spice of sweedish riders aiming to be one day good enough to be called Edvald Boassen Hagen's(current world champ) home but for now there building an ever increasingly good squad Nordhaug leads for the Spirng before Lofkvist comes and does the tours a dangerous team.
Tissot:
The final team and the swiss are back with there strong sprinting/lead out train for Tino Thomel one of the best sprinters in the world when they signed him he brought 2 very good germans with him in Ardennes Specialist Mathias Belka and leadout man Karl-Heinz Stray added to that there swiss stars this one team just waiting till they can buy Cancellara.
Pick a team and state a reson below if you wish first team to 10 is the one i will start with.
Thank You to all jersey shirt and acessory makers.

As much as I would love to see Team eurosport at the centre of a story again I voted for Columbia, as I think it will be interesting to see how you do in the bigger stage races with good climbers but no good time trialists, as well as the signings that are made to try and make it a more rounded squad |

Really enjoying the presentation, quite funny to see how riders have evolved over the years, some of these teams are going to have to bring in a lot of young riders as there old ones retire to keep a decent sized squad going
Keep up the good work |

Lampre - ISD:
2017 Status: Pro Tour
Nationality: Italy
Team Shirt: 
Team:
Top Rider:
Alberto Contador: The tour winner has an okay squad behind him unlike his biggest rivals Pinot and Schleck and this will be to his disadvantage in the tour but he should still make a good results.
Big Hope:
Floriano Abrini: The italian climber has been impressing all for the last few seasons and will be contadors main helpers in the mountains this year. Should get a chance in some one day races too.
One for the home nation:
Mauro Finetto: The best sprinter in italy? He could possibly be and with his ability to get over tough hills giving him more chances for wins expect a high ranking at the end of the season.
Landbouwkredit:
2017 Status: Pro Tour
Nationality: Belgium
Team Shirt: 
Team:
Top Rider:
Gerald Ciolek: The german sprinter will be hoping for a good early season with Milan San Remo and Gent Whelvgem targeted. Has shown signs that he could maybe become a big sprinter but will need to improve for that and at his age it's unlikely.
Big Hope:
Deyln Touns: The power packed cobbler will be fighting early in the season to ensure he is near to getting the team leader role in the cobbled classics but with such strength in depth in the cobbles it's unlikely but watch for him in breakaways in tours.
One for the home nation:
Maxime Monfort: Really the only good climber here he will need to get some good gc placing or many stage wins if he is to keep his team up this season. Top 10 in Tirreno, Dauphine and Polgne last year single handedly kept the team up.
Leopard Trek:
2017 Status: Pro Tour
Nationality: Luxemburg
Team Shirt: 
Team:
Top Rider:
Andy Schleck: Can he win the tour? If he can it has to be this year with his declining age and Pinot only being 26 it looks like it's now or never for the 2nd-itious schleck.
Big Hope:
Chris Baftijari: The young Luxemburger will play a key role in helping Sagan in the ardennes this year but can he step up to the plate in a couple of years? Only time will tell.
One for the home nation:
Frank Schleck: The climber is still going and will be aiming at the tour of luxemburg again proberbly still showing good legs in his old age. |
