I presume Joe D is now in the game if he wasn't before?
He is. He is.

I have no idea whether he is a friend, but Eastman rides for Bontrager?

As I recall Eastman was/is one of Levi's buddies. He should be able to clarify, but I'm 85% sure. |

Wish I could edit.
Yep, found it:
Isn't his name Juan Camora? One of our riders is a 3 time national champ, our team's best rider is Ryan Eastman, who was the number one 15-16 Junior in the countr, he won 2 medals at nationals and broke his collarbone in the road race and rode 10 miles with it thinking nothing was wrong. he dropped out after a flat.
My coach is the legendary Laura Charameda, 250 career wins, several world cups, titles at the womens Tour of France and Italy, a bronze in the World championships road race, national championships etc etc etc. |

Some more Dutch riders.
Daan Olivier https://www.cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/...;current=0
Came in 3rd in the U23 NC this year. Won a stage in the Vuelta ao Alentejo, a TTT in the Thüringen Rundfahrt and got some more podiums in stage races. Seems to be mainly a fast guy with some ability against the clock.
Bob Schoonbroodt 12/02/1991
Came in 4th in the U23 NC. Don't know much more about him I'm afraid.
Lars van der Haar 23/07/1991
Twice WorldChamp U23 CycloCross. Also does some road racing, so might be fun to include him. Came in 6th in the U23 RR NC.

I thought we may need more riders for next season, so I found a few, mainly from obscure nations, as ManGame managers seem to love those  . I apoligize if they are already in the DB.
Eugert Zhupa, Albania, 4/4/90
Double national champion (TT and RR) of Albania in 2010, 2011 and 2012. 9th at Paris-Roubaix espoirs 2011. Must have some sort of skills on the cobbles, and in the TT.
Jyme Bridges, Antigua and Barbuda, 22/8/89
3 time NC winner of his home country. We all know that's a difficult title to take.
Dominiue Mayho, Bermuda, 29/11/93
Won both the RR and the TT at the Bermudan NC this year.
Rasmane Ouedraogo, Burkina Faso, 30/7/88
Several top 10 placings on the Africa tour over the last years, and NC winner this year.
Yves Ngue Ngock, Cameroon, 25/1/89
Same as above minus the NC
Stefan Petrovski, FYRO Macedonia, 2/1/91
Winner of the NC in 2011 and 2012
David Thor Sigurdsson, Iceland, ?/?/89
NC winner in Iceland. And it would be fun to have an Icelandic guy.
I don't hope these suggestions are too stupid. If they are, I am sorry.

2 of those are already in the DB, Zhupa is a ProTour rider, albeit Domina Vacanze never raced this season.
3 of those had already been added to the 2013 db, but you wouldnt have known about that

Two decent young riders ctrl-f could not find in the 2012 database:
 Marc Goos - 30/11/1990
https://www.cqrank...erid=15186
In 2012 he got some nice top 10's in x.2 races. His best result was 6th overall in a 2.1 race, beating some very good riders:
https://www.cqrank...ceid=23316
Yoeri Havik - 19/02/1991
https://www.cqrank...erid=15187
Some decent sprints in both 2011 and 2012
And maybe free agent Wesley Kreder can be rewarded for this great win? https://www.cqrank...ceid=23462 |

Goos is added, Kreder as well, although probably too weak.
I agree about Havik.

One other thing (not really sure else to put it), that hit me when I was looking through the database, and which inexplicably I didn't catch when I was, you know, the manager of an Israeli team with every Israeli rider in the game.
Israel competes within the European frameworks for all of their sports, and they're considered part of the UCI Europe Tour, not the UCI Asia Tour, whereas the Man-Game DB lists them as Asian.
Thought that may be something you want to change. It isn't an idiosyncrasy of cycling, for instance I'm sure you all know that Israel is part of UEFA... |

Not sure if he's there already, but up until very recently Tyler Butterfield was Bermuda's only Cyclist (and Triathlete) with an International Professional Licence. He is obviously a good TT'er from Tri's, but he's also not too bad of a punchy rider. I would consider him a Jack Bauer kind of rider (70-73 TT, with 70-72 HIL and ACC) |

Oh ok. Wasn't sure, as he's a rider who deserves to be there. Did you know that he had the fastest bike split on the Olympic triathlon..? |

What about Danes as Magnus Cort and Sebastian Lander might be the biggest Danish talents atm.?

Doesn't mean he is the best cyclist in Triathlon. He was only fastest because of how the race tactics were at the front. He just sat in a dropped bike group all the way through, doing no work, then rode off on the last lap - there were better cyclist in the lead, but they could sit back and wait for the run.
Don't wasteeveryones time by posting in the thread if you don't know who is already in the db

Lander is in already, Cort isn't.
Give some details about him so whoever adds him knows what to make his stats.
You should check the DB before you throw names out though. |

I agree with you SportinnNonsense, he might not have been the best, I just thought it was a cool fact. Sorry if I did waste everyone's time. I'm trying to get involved more with the man game to pick up some tactics and ideas for next season  |

Brian Bulgac https://www.cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/...erid=15040
07-04-1988
Currently rides for Lotto-Belisol, completed the Giro this year. Should be a good allround domestique.
Mathieu van der Poel
19-01-1995
Junior World Champ Cyclo-cross and 9th at this years junior road race. Maybe a new Dutch classic hope?

I decided to not add any riders born in 1994, so I dont think Ill be adding a 1995 born either!
