* Lvl 2 was scheduled to have first of two potential upgrades, but due to massive points gain, I skipped 2nd lvl and was already on 3rd. Didn't get a response from devs, so played further. Upgrades happened from lvl 5. Initially - lvl 4.

2019 - Zalf Euromobil Desirèe Fior

One last thing. Do you want to see stats progression, or leave it as a "mystery"? If I f****d something up, new DB will have everything the same as chosen character, except maybe team. |

On first glance, a classics rider for Euskadi sounds very appealing, but maybe Grand Champion is a bit much in terms of potential. My vote goes to Claudio Rusconi, just to see what happens when you combine a climber with Northern Classics  Good luck with this!

Well, the only difference in potential... is xp/month. Between Grand Champion and Very Good... 20xp per month. |

As much as I like the idea of a Basque rider I'm too intrigued by the mix of Climber and Northern Classics so have to vote for Rusconi too.

Okay, I guess it's Italian rider then! In first season I'll ride a lot U23 races. Including Giro U23. Good for gaining experience. I'll spend first 2 lvls increasing potential of my rider so I can get higher cobblestones stat throughout my career.

I hope the quality of photos is good enough 
First year of my career! I'm so excited! That was my first race:
Detailed profile:
My job for today for working for my team-mates at the front. So I was doing what was expecting from me for the half of the race. On the seconds half I was saving energy for final kilometres trying to finish as high as possible. It's hard on flat terrain, but I did my best.
10 kms to go. Both Norwegian teams are trying their best to prepare the best possible positioning before final sprint.
5 kms left. I'm trying to follow someone wheel.
Me trying to take part in the sprint...
Able to finish on very good 12th place!

First stage race for me, and my team is already expecting me to deliver. Top 20 is the goal. It will be hard, but I'll do my best.
Detailed profile of first stage:
I was saving energy for the whole stage. Top 20 is not an easy task. Again, flat stage isn't my best terrain to fight, but I'm doing what I can. One of our riders went into an early breakaway. He has been caught 22kms before the finish.
With 7.5 kms left we started to create a train for me to finish high enough.
Wow! It was the weirdest sprint I have ever seen, but! We won the stage! And a top 10 from me!*
Top 15:
*quick note; the sprint hasn't happened at all. I once played it and won, because no one else sprinted. But I had to re-play that stage because I missed one stat/potential increase due to that. I would have won that again, but the same thing would happen, so I had to use effort on 0 just before the finish to not jump over one lvl.
Another flat stage that should end with the mass sprint. The breakaway couldn't gain much time so first try ended quickly. Second try was better and the breakaway rode for around 40 kms up front. It still wasn't good enough.
6 kms to go. We try to win it again.
Last km!
A bit uphill sprint and another top 10!

Another flat stage. I'm currently 14th in GC. One of our riders went into an early breakaway. But the peloton wasn't giving them a lot of time. With less than 40 kms to go we had few riders trying to attack in few occasions. Nothing was successful.
I'm trying to catch the perfect wheel for final sprint with 7.5 kms to go.
4 kms left...
Riders going early!
Top 10 again!
Decent performance. Some riders went early. My team-mate was brilliant tho. I'm much slower than majority of them so this is really good place.

Finally something interesting. Much harder finish. I don't think it's perfect for me, but I'm trying my best.
I had to work tho at the front of the peloton for our better placed rider in GC. When it comes to that - I'm currently 16th. Tried to save energy for final little climb. The breakaway wasn't dangerous. They couldn't gain more than 3 minutes.
This is what was left after first climb to the finish - 30 kms to go.
10 kms left - only 20 riders.
We are starting to climb. I'm trying to setup a pace perfect for me.
They are attacking!
Ouch! What a hard climb! I didn't have enough power for better finishing, but I'm satisfied.

Thanks! I made some differences to the previous one I was doing. I hope I can get that the point of that one, lol
Another one day classic. Not fully flat, but probably going to end with a mass sprint.
Detailed profile:
My job for today was working at the front of the peloton. As always I was trying to save energy for the 2nd half of the race hoping I can get decent result in final sprint. The breakaway couldn't gain more than 3 minutes. And with only 3 riders in it, it was hard to believe they are going to make it.
Tempo was really good. After first run through a circuit, the peloton was including only 69 riders, with no breakaway up front.
It is harder than expected! With 38 kms left, only 15 riders were in the front group!
15 km to go. This is what was left...
7.5 km - first attacks!
3 km - I'm going first, trying to start the sprint up front. Who is going to win it?
I started the sprint a bit to late, but I'm pretty happy with my result. Route was really hard, but it's more than I was hoping for.

We stay in Turkey for another stage race. Also with something really interesting - 33 kms long mountain stage, that isn't ITT! That is going to be wild from start!
The goal from my team is final top 15. Let's see if I can get this!
Nothing really exciting happened, so let's see the results!
Brlliant teamwork from my team-mates and I finish again in the top 10!

Stage 2 had one big climb in the middle of it. Too far from finish to make big selection, but it might end with a sprint from smaller peloton.
We actually made an impact! 5 km to top of the climb.
No one was interested in working, so we had to put the tempo.
3 km to go!
I'm too slow!
There is one thing I'm happy! I won my first jersey in my career! I was first on the top of today's climb and it was enough to win mountain jersey. So proud!

That stage is weird. 33 km long and it's NOT an ITT. This is going to be wild!
The roads are really narrow, so we decided to setup a pace having me riding at the front. At 14 km to go we started to climb!
Oh my! Here we go! Brilliant work by A. Caiati! 9 km!
With 8 kms I needed to go alone. That is going to be hard...
Where did that guy come from?
So close!

Last stage was flat, so our job was simple. Defending our 2nd place in GC and first in mountain classification too!
We did it! That was not an easy sprint tho. Brilliant 2nd place in GC and mountain classification victory. Very good race!

This is my calendar for April/May part. We stay mostly in Italy for many U23 races. I can gain a lot of experience there.
Don't worry, another update will pop up later today.

Flat classic. So my work was as usual working at the front. And as always I did the number team wanted from me to produce and started saving energy for final sprint. The breakaway wasn't dangerous at all.
They were a bit too fast. Just a bit.

Another one day classic. Another one flat. Another one that might end in mass sprint. I need to gain experience riding in races so every one counts, but later... I might start in races I would only like too!
This time we did it a bit different. Team decided I should try my strength in the breakaway. So I tried! An all Italian break:
We weren't able to gain more than 4 minutes, so the peloton really wanted to fight for the win. It was over for three of us at 22 km to go.

Now a stage race in Italy! Really important for our sponsor so we have to deliver. Two time-trials (bad info), one mountain stage (good info).
I don't actually think I'm able to ride that race well. I'm out of form, so I might struggle in few races to will happen in near future. I tried to join an early breakaway, but it was too big, so we couldn't go away. I decided to stay in the peloton, not try again. For the first time also I was able to ride against WT teams as Dimension Data, UAE, Trek, Katusha, Bahrain, Astana and Mitchelton all did send their riders here. I followed a very good wheel, so I was surprised after I saw the results.

A TTT. We are only a continental team, there was nothing to expect. At least we weren't last, right?

Third stage, some hills. I'm not the strongest here against all those WT teams, but I'm trying my best.
It was rainy and cold. I decided to stay in the peloton. I wanted to try myself against all those great WT riders. With 50 km to go I was still with all the favourites. And group was really small - only 30 riders in it.
20 km left - surprisingly, I'm still with the favourites
10 km to go - just look at that, I'm still there!
Jose Goncalves is completely out of reach.
What a finish!
