In other words, mvhoogdalem will need to create a new 18 year old rider who he doesn't neglect

Alex Fischer retires at end of season, due to lack of training motivation. 
As said on the previous page, people neglecting their 18 year old, will be punished somehow. Someone pointed out that the rule about the ages is useless if you just kill off/neglect the crappy one, and I have to agree with that.
It's not really neglecting my 18 year old, it's just that I don't have the time and motivation for 3 riders at the moment. And I like Fischer the least, otherwise I'd kill off one of the other 2.
And it's not like I have a 23 year old that is massively OP / unrealistic like some other riders...
Plus, this would mean I would have 2 riders and according to the rules for 2 riders one has to be max 20. So if I had not created Fischer at the start of the season, everything would've been correct as Di Silvestro is 20. |

That is correct, my apologies!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Name: Kristjan Palmarsson
Age: 19
Nationality: Iceland
Rider type: Flat Allrounder
Short Bio: The powerhouse from Reykjavik. Kristijan started bike racing with 16 due to the issue it´s not that popular in Iceland. Since than he rode down the south coast day by day after school, but not in a club how it would be expected. With 17 he joined the local club in Akranes. He got quickly a well respected part of their team. The problem for him was, the important races in Iceland are mostly inside the island, so that means climbing for days. With his 2 meters of length and 92kg he fell of quickly then, it became disappointing for him.
After a year without racing for the club, he gave himself another go. One year of training down the south of Iceland should lead him to new racing confidence. He lost 5kg to deliver on the mountains of the national road race. At the time trial was without any chances on the hilly parcour, but in the road race he felt very good after half of the race. The flat rough road on the Vatnajökull fit him perfectly, so he decided to attack the big riders. He went away by a minute with only 20 km to go when he reached the final climb, having the big volcano Grimsvötn already in his view. Climbing up the now better road, his legts gave up. With a lack of power he finished eleven minutes down on the best; he saw them batteling for victory and passing by when the climb was just 2 km on.
This was a crack for him, no bike riding for him for a month, then he went to train again. With his unzipped Vacansoleil jersey in every climate, cold or really cold, rainy or snowy or even sunny. Weather is no issue for him. He started watching bike races by the time he started racing himself, and his effort to start up again was inspired mostly by his Vacansoleil jersey. The victory of Thomas de Gendt at Stage 20 of the Giro 2012, was his moment, something he would work for day after day after day. He rode some races with now better results, and got his first victory on the Icelandic Road Rice series on a criterium around Keflavik with a Finesseur attack.
Icelands national management saw him there and gave him a chance to show his power - maybe only because of his young age - at he Arctic Tour of Norway. He was the first time out of Iceland with his bike, and that´s why he was maybe the only man who felt really warm there. It was an amazing experience for him, 2 times he could bring his captain to the final kilometers for sprinting near the top 20 riders.
This races lighted up a fire in his eyes. Team Sparebanken Sor offered him the chance to ride there until the end of the season. By the time he did better and better, and the season ended with a victory of Sondre Enger lead out by Kristjan in a one day race of the Norwegian National Tour.
It was an amazing experience to ride with such a great talent like Sondre, so when he came back to Iceland in winter time he started to request for a place at a CT, PCT or even WT team.

Palmarsson is 1 point too high.
But we'll need more managers with all these new riders

Could always allow relegating WT teams to sign more than 3 riders, perhaps 4?

... or normal WT teams to sign 3/4 riders. That'd be awesome.  |

Well, it's not a problem yet. Teams like Astana and Lampre still haven't signed anyone for next season and all the new managers didn't find people either.

Not yet, a predeal is not valid under UCI rules

Faye Marcus
He is under a pre-contract pending our relegation. Plusvite very much wants to ride at FDJ alongside he friend Nacer Bouhanni and we are going to make that happen. There are no issues on our end or Plusvite's. The UCI doesn't like predealing but we checked and he is within his right to wait until our relegation is confirmed.

Johann Nokkvason welcomes Palmarson to the peloton. Great to see his example followed by other young Icelandics

Wasn't online to offer Palmerson and finally a rider likes Vaconsoleil. 
Consider us next season please.

Thank you, just what I was looking for! While Drapac while be maintaining it's presence as a team with a (mostly) local talent pool I'll get involved if some riders can't find a home by the end of the transfer period. Now to do my research on these guys

So I am glad to follow you into Professional Cycling. After my search for a team Igot one fitting perfect to me. My team for the new season will be announced in a few days; I will be very glad to get announced by the manager of my new team. Furthermore i will use my time to prepare myself for some crucial races and changed the one point that was too much ;) |
