Welcome to the Headquarters of Team Live Nation.
This team aims to bring you new experiences. Our sponsor has lots of experience arranging entertainment throughout the world and the global view will shine through in the contracts we will sign.
As our sponsor we will not only be looking to give you more of what you already knows, but also some new experiences that you didn’t know you would love. Therefor we will not be looking for riders from nations who managing to qualify for the World Championships Elite RR in 2013.
We will aim to get most of the team built of riders from counties where Live Nation is active, which leaves about 8 main countries, the largest cluster of countries found in Northern Europe.

Hopefully I can post. Good luck with the team as I like the idea. Though I must ask, is 'Live' as in "I want to live not die" or "The live football game"?

Sure you can post. Fortunately you just missed my reannging the three main post to not have my signature until the last one 
That would mainly be live as in "live music", but "I want to live not die" could possibly fit as well.

I actually saw you rearranging which made me think twice about posting. So "live" can be pronounced either way?

We might only meet in Denmark, but that's an interesting philosophy indeed!
I first thought about Vietnam or Nepal when you said "unknown" countries, but that mix should certainly allow you some good leaders and talents over the years.
Good luck!

Interesting mix of naitonalities, but with a sponsor like that it's incorporated quite well. Looking forward to see what your squad can bring! Welcome

Not really following the Man-Game at all, but if your Live Nation HQ is even half as good as your EPIC Euskaltel one you will surely be one of the best additions for this management game ever. Good luck mate!

fjhoekie: Happy you like the jersey. I tried to make it easily spotted on screenshots while building it as a festival t-shirt in the spirit of the sponsor.
cycleman: Is in music it's open for interpretation
cio: I wanted a team with both a clearly defined focus on smaller nations, while still being able to have captains from the main countries. Fortunately Live Nation minus WC-countries were able to meet those demands.
aidan: Glad it seems somewhat natural as I thought long and hard about what sponsor could give me the kind of team I wanted without it getting weird.
Avin: Having done some research in HQ's and the 2013 DB I suspect we might in deed end up having talks at some point
Shonak: Hehe, we'll see what happens here. It could be very lively with this sponsor...

Alakagom: Thanks for the words on the jersey. I have a pretty big shortlist based on the 2013 DB at the moment, but you are on it
sutty: Hopefully it will. Experience from UCPCL, EPIC, TOTC etc tells me it's nice to have something distinctive on the shoulders especially to spot riders in screenshots.

Glad to see a team from Finland here - there was going to be one a while ago but the manager dropped out.

CountArach: I don't plan on dropping out any time soon, then we'll see how far the Finnish angle will go...
viking90: Hopefully there'll be bough Swedes for me to get some decent riders as well considering Vattenfall's disappeareence. After all it's in your interest as well if Swedes can score enough points to qualify for the worlds

After lengthy discussions with our sponsors we have agreed on five main goals for the upcoming season.
First of all we want a Top 3 in the Continantal Rankings, which should bring us promotion. Those high ambitions reflect in our goal of 15 Stage Wins.
Naturally we will be focusing our goals on the main countries for our sponsor as well as teh riders we hope to sign. That means that we want to Win Himmerland Rundt and Finish in top 5 of Tour de Pologne and Tour de Bretagne. All of which are raced in countries where Live Nation are working actively.
Naturally announcing such ambitious goals will spark speculation as to our transfer targets. For now we will not comment in specific riders.
We do have a rather long shortlist containing 67 rides, 46 of these currently unemployed so our opportunities are plenty.
That also means that if you are one of the teams wanting to part with a possible CT-captain or a big talent (possibly on loan) from one of our target countries you could start thinking about your terms for a deal.

Very interesting goals although some of them are not easy to achieve. The top3 and 15 wins will be very complicated and will take a good team to achieve ...
