Now we got the amount of teams in the game that we had last season, great that Silvio is back, with a surprising sponsor change and two new French team are also on board.
The world tour will most likely look like this next season:
 | Allianz - BMW Cycling Team | jaxika |  | Bunzl - Centrica | brewers90 | | CarbonSports Cycling - Lightweight | knockout | | Celesio Pro Cycling | mvhoogdalem |  | Ecopetrol - Vivo | Cyclotron |  | Eurosport - Pepsi | DaveTwoBob |  | Filliers - Mora Pro Cycling Team | Ollfardh |  | Illes Balears | Shonak |  | Italo - Ventilair | Bikex |  | LA - Antarte | Luis Leon Sanchez | | Prorace - La Boulangère | The Rider | | Saeco - Cannondale | Smowz |  | SAP - Bianchi | trekbmc |  | Smartone Cycling Team | Jakstar22 | | Team Alitalia | matt17br | | Team Cymru Wales | sutty68 | | UNHCR Pro Cycling | Silvio Herklotz |  | Vegeta Cycling Team | SSJ2Luigi |
TVM just missing the cut to WT.
That means these teams will go to the CT:
| Achieve Northside Skinnergate | JoeArmstrong13 |  | Albert Heijn - Knab | senegalese |  | CCC Sprandi Polkowice | dominox |  | Christina Watches | Tamijo | | Festina - Canal+ | SotD |  | Fiskars Cykling | Atlantius | | Hakse - ING Cycling | Episode1 | | La Gazzetta dello Sport | krisa |  | Leopard - Evonik Pro Cycling | Croatia14 | | Santos - Euskadi | jandal7 | | Sevilla Cycling Team | javibozada |  | Specialized - Playstation | Scatmaster111 |  | Sugoi - Xanterra | Selwink | | Team Peugeot | Marcovdw | | Team Renova | PeterRyder | | Team Taco Bell Cycling | bwiggins | | TVM Cycling Team | Ozrocker |
We have the highest amount of U23 Teams compared to the last seasons:
 | Air China | Bikex | | British Gas Cycling Academy | brewers90 | | Canada Dry Dev Team | Selwink | | Celesio Pro Cycling Development Team | mvhoogdalem | | Ecopetrol - Boyacá | Cyclotron | | Eurosport - Pepsi Max Development | DaveTwoBob | | Excelência Técnica Development Team | PeterRyder | | FC Porto | Luis Leon Sanchez | | Fernando Alonso Cycling Tean | javibozada | | Festina Development Project | SotD | | Fiat | Smowz |  | Geox - Kalev Youth Project | Croatia14 |  | Korup | The Rider | | La Fundación | Shonak |  | Podravka Development Team | SSJ2Luigi |  | PureBlack Racing | jandal7 | | Reizen Waes - Pinkpop Development Team | Ollfardh | | SAP Development | trekbmc | | Smartone Development Team | Jakstar22 |  | Team Live Mas Mexico | bwiggins | | UNICEF Development Team | Silvio Herklotz | | VW | knockout |
That doesn't mean signups are closed yet.
Sorry I haven't uploaded a pretransfers db yet, but I want to give Silvio the chance to also send in the riders development and also I'm having difficulties with converting to PCM15. |

Hooray world tour!  Thanks bikex. 
A problem though that Silvio has gone for a Swiss team now.... Although I guess that Swiss life team did exist item last season anyway. With lost of German and Italian world tour teams, I may have to go to France for riders.

Another Portuguese team.... Hmmmm
There are limited options for a decent team so will be interesting to see what they do.

2-3 more teams would certainly be welcome because odds are that some teams will disband again after this season. ICL needs to grow.

If you have too little money to steal Kwiatek, odds are you wouldn't have got him anyway on the free market then.

completely different season mate, I made a bid of 1080 on Kwiatkowski while min wage was 850 or something. Silvio only needed to match 930

Interesting how quickly the nationalities can change. I remember setting up TVM-Sanyo because there were no Dutch teams in the game, then this year I added the USA as a secondary because there weren't many American teams either. We're definitely going to have to look further away from home to get some good recruits this year.
Nice to see a few more Spanish teams coming in too, there was a shortage of them for awhile too. A pity that the Eastern Europe focus is beginning to dwindle except for Geox - Kalev, hope they do well this year.
Just one question; is Team Peugeot a new team or the same one from last year?

Luigi:
Spoiler Ah, that transfer window! You bid less than 1000 on him and ended up paying something like 2000 for that Valverde deal, if I remember well.
Bikex - Are you sure you won't include La Gazzetta in the WT rather than sutty's team?
krisa has shown much more interest in the ICL and will probably strive to create a more competitive team. Taking nothing away from sutty, of course, but he just hasn't shown enough interest in the ICL, for me, to take a place in the WT ahead of krisa. I hope you really consider this. |

well to be fair, the Valverde deal was really late in the transfer and I didn't think I would get the chance to sign anybody else and I kinda wanted to help Dippo out with that Valverde deal the fell through. still had some money left in the bank anyway so why not.
rider development? what's that?

@The Rider, This seems like a nice idea and you also make a valid point but I think it would be just fair to ask sutty about what he does think about it first.

No Problem mate, it's also nice in 2nd division. And I always get the chance to ride the giro so no big problem here.
Promotion chances were away since last year, new teams got a huge amount of money, I had like 900 + disbanding teams so they got the good riders (sprinters, climbers). I only managed to transfer malori (who has won 3 stages + NC TT) That was unhonest, not that sutty came to WT

@bikex: UNICEF DT ist not Swiss, it's actually American, because UNICEFS's headquarters are in New York City.
@whoeverthoughtIdbegoingforSwissriders: As my team is UNO- and refugee-associated, I'm practically going for every nation - but maybe some more riders from less-developed countries if possible.
