Also, it's time to determine your level of interest. It all depends on you how you follow your rider and his progress. Those who don't want to spend too much time cooking up plans, you can send me a general plan for the rider, for the entire season if you want. You can always change it later on.

You can always give individual orders for every race, too. It's your rider, so all up to you. If you don't give any consignees, I'll control your rider as to my own ability. The amount of attacking is then determined by his FIGHTER stat.

With only 3 schedules missing, I have already assigned riders to the first two races:








And then one more rule. If you send in tactics, questions, whatever, please include your rider's name.

Considering it's the first race of the year, I expect the team to ride aggressively and show the new jersey to the world. I appoint Coutinho as race leader for the GC. The rest is there in a helping role, either by protecting, riding or attacking.

Perez, Gomes and Zoli are shared leaders. We will try to make the race by attacking. All the others are either here to protect the leaders or to attack and put other teams to work.

I know many of you are waiting for it: the 2013 calendar. But the truth is, being a ProConti team, our calendar needs constant adjustment. Due to financial problems and not being able to hire a secretary, I will only inform you of upcoming races a week before it starts. Terribly sorry about that. You'll all have to work hard and keep on your toes, be ready at any time. Think you can live with that?
