Not really convinced my team will win anything, just hoping for some breaks and some luck in Stage Hunting. Might be able to pull some top 5s in sprints, but that is about it.

What do you consider a sprinter that has a good Hill stat in this DB? Above 65? Above 70?

Well I meant anyone that has mtn and hill above 60, because that's a rarity for this DB. Di Negri has a good hill stat, but only 74 sprint.

I mean I do have a MO 64 HIL 67, but again only 74/70 SP ACC.
I do have a lot of 60's in HIL but with 50's in MO that doesn't mean anything.
All I would say is that the teams are REALLY balanced.

I have done my excel file
Only 2 riders don't have 20+ race days because they aren't very good. Every race is full for me as well
But I only have one climber who is 20.

I don't know when the game "upgrades" to PCM13, but there isn't a limit in PCM13.

The 24 limit team is that for a race there's only 24 teams allowed.
And at the end of the season, the MG will go into PCM 13. |

And at the discussion at the Hil/Sprint dudes: so far, one of the things I've learnt with this season of the MG, is that having a sprinter with a good hill ability might be good. With the AI of PCM12, making creating gaps in Hilly Stages very hard, a sprinter with good ability can win GC's at those race's. And when a sprinter do's that, he has sucessfully pulled a Hoffman.  |

You're right for this reason Sagan in PCM 12 was able to win Tour of Oman  |

My leader for the Mountains is a 20yr old who has 68MO, 67HIL, 68DH, 63TT, 67STA, 66RES, 68REC and 63ACC.
My leaders for the flat stages are D'Amore, who has 76SPR and 74ACC, and Casper who has 76SPR and a disappointing ACC of 68.
For the cobble race/s I have De Winde who has 72COB, 66SPR and 65ACC and Barbe who has 70COB, 71SPR and 67ACC.
All round I have an alright time, aiming for good placings in the cobble and flat races and stage wins and a possible good spot in the GC for my leader.

Team Dexia is shaped as a sprinters team with decent sprinters such as Vanthourenhout, De Ketele and young Stenuit (borrowed from Pro Team Venchi - Sugoi) as the fastest guys on the line.
At the same time De Ketele is our strongest hilly rider making him a good bet for some good results in the many more or less hilly races expected to end in a sprint from a reduced group.
At first the team didn't have any climbers at all and since the mountains are scarce in Belgium we had to look outside the borders for someone to compete in races such as Andorra and Andalucia. We ended up with a Brazilian rider, Rodrigues, who will lead the team every time there is a mountain on the route.
We also felt we could do with a strong TT-rider, with special thought to Bayern Rundfahrt, where the TT is usually crucial for the GC. For that we went just over the border and signed Dutchman Berden de Vries.
There will be good support on the flat stages from the five strong Belgians Crombez, Dockx, Renders, Hovelynck and Mertens.

You'll definitely be one of the teams I'm cheering for thanks to being from Belgium and having my former rider Stenuit on your team.

Team LKT
Today, new team LKT will be unveiled as a new team in the world of cycling, they feature mainly German riders, mostly to please their German sponsors.
They are:
The team gives an opportunity of leadership to many riders, and the team looks at giving itself a good showing during the series of cycling races.
Leaders:
Stefan Schafer: A rider with good ability to get over the hills and the ability to time trial pretty well gives Schafer the ability to captain the team in races like the Tour du Haut Var, Vuelta a Andalucia and Trofeo Matteotti. Other than that, he can be relied upon as a top domestique.
Peter Möhlmann: He is the teams only sprinter, he will have to rely on other sprint trains to get to the line, with the team not expecting much from him so top 9's will be great for the team.
 Gasper Svab: The teams best climber, although he lacks time trial ability, the team can hope for him to do pretty well in tough mountainous stages and can be an outsider for an overall victory. Svab can also ride for himself or for the benefit of the team in races like Vuelta a Andalucia because of his decent hill abilities.
Sven Krauss: He is the leader for the Tour of Rutland. Other than that, he will be a good team mate other the flats and can possibly be given the chance to break-away.
