Thought so as well. Only dilemma now is how to distribute GTs. I have to win a stage in Le Tour, podium Giro and top-5 Vuelta. Kreuziger will aim on both, with König as primary lieutenant. I was thinking of doing it like this
Giro | TDF | Vuelta | Kreuziger | Weening | Kreuziger | König | Goss | König | Matthews | Albasini | Hristov | Durbridge | Langeveld | Kruopis | Lancaster | Impey | Durbridge | Meier | Howard | Lancaster | Beppu | Keukeleire | Teklehaimanot | Vaitkus | Davis | Ewan | Meyer | Tuft | Howson |
Meyer was the main dilemma, but I feel he could better help Kreuziger and then just use (mainly) Weening, Albasini and Goss for stage wins.

Kreuziger should easily top 5 the Vuelta, and Konig would probably be in with a shout of doing it if it's weak competition.
Is Durbridge good enough to win a TT in Le Tour? As if so he could also help with sprint preperations, though I can see why you'd want him for TTT's at the Giro and (to a lesser extent) the Vuelta.

Durbridge unfortunately isn't strong enough for a Tour ITT. He managed to come 3rd in the 2013 Vuelta TT, so a top-10 should be the max. Also, I forgot to include Clarke, he'll ride the Giro instead of Beppu

Glud & Mastrand - LRO
The tricky second season is far behind now and the team is firing all over the place! Just finished Oesterreich Rundfarht with CAS in 2nd place! Comfortably the teams biggest result to date.
Still no NC yet, but Livshits, Dowsett, Swift, Fuchs and CAS all made podiums in various events.
Sitting 8th on the Superprestige (of PCT/CT teams not including promotion spots) and well assured of staying PCT by now. Aiming to keep in the top10 which should be a fun fight. Swift might only have a couple of wins to his name but sits 5th in Conti rankings with Lasnik and CAS also in the Top15. Karl is 22nd.
Glud are withdrawing at the end of the season. They did offer a 2 year extension but i decided to bring in Willier for a season at an increased budget. Italian sponsor so bringing in a variety of new riders. Not a fan of the sponsor negotiations thing in PCM13, as i only had 1 Danish and 1 UK sponsor contact me. Hoped for more of both so i could continue a more long term plan. So onto transfers, keeping all the current roster and lots of new names because 2016 will be a promotion push.
Davide Villella, 24, Ita, MO76 HL75
Michael Matthews, 24, Aus, SP77 AC78 HL72
Stefano Agostini, 26, Ita, HL72 MO69
Matteo Trentin, 25, Ita, SP76 AC77 HL72 CB71
Stefano Locatelli, 26, Ita, MO73 HL73
Eugenio Alafaci, 24, Ita, SP72 AC73
Nikolay Mihaylov, 27, Bul, TT72 PRL69
Marcel Furlan, 22, Slv, Just kind of sucks
Oliver Buhl Andersen, 21, Den, HL72

Well, I never do them.
Leader should be enough I think.
Meanwhile,
PCMdaily Pro Cycling
As said, this is in the Comic DB. Looking forward to the season, should be fun
No, they're not from Cyprus! They are from PCmdailystan!
The team is CT, and the leaders are about AVG for CT, though the team has more good riders than most other CT team.
Promotion will be the goal, therefore.

The PCMdaily career is really awesome!
Got to the start of April.
Highlights so far:
Puskaric managed a 2nd place in the GC in the Tour de Suisse(2.2). It was a great battle for 2nd to 4th, with a lot of mountain and hilly stages.
The Flumserberg TT wasn't too hard though. Puskaric managed to take a stage-win there and got a 2nd GC. Naruto proved too strong though.
Po-Ding was an amazing helper, and he got 7th in the GC himself.
Puskaric also got 2nd at La Source(1.1). That's quite an achievement, with some 75 MO guys being there.
Mike Pye managed to win the Football Cup(1.1), with Hoogenboom 3rd. A windy stage, and Pye managed to keep some energy in reserve so he could finish it off, even though he wasn't really a favourite.
Hoogenboom got 5th in Paris - Bordeaux, a 696km classic. It kinda got a mass-sprint though, since attackers got their green bars swallowed quickly.
Those were the highlights, I'm 32th in the CQ ranking now, so looks like I might be promoting.
Unfortunately, Puskaric got injured halfway March, while I had some nice hilly classics planned at the end of March. Poor Po-Ding is not explosive enough for the hills.
It's April now, now Hinault & Mosby will come into play. Hinault developed to 75MO already, which is awesome!
Team will be riding the Giro(13 stages, 2.2) now. I have faith in Hinault bringing this to a good end, despite the 50km TT.

Cervero belongs to the Mosby group, so no surprise
Has only ridden 2 races yet.
Cervero might go stage-hunting in the Giro

Melani is on the shortlist. But the shortlist is big
His stats aren't too high: 70MO.
That's your punishment for not showing the stats
He's 7 potential though, I believe. Could be 6 though.

No need for it.
Wouldn't make him 78HI anyway, trying to keep everyone low from the start. I could at least reverse MO & HI, but that's all.
@Luigi
Yup.
This isn't a public DB though, it's a personal DB, so I may do what I want
