Brewer - to be honest mate, I wouldn't worry about the guys who haven't responded. If you need to either kick them out or offer up their places to people who want in. I am sure you will get some takers....if not then just do with them as you wish, upgrade their stats yourself etc and you can either move them on in the close season and bring in real riders or you can just keep them and continue to build the team. Regardless of whether its a fantasy team made up of 4 of us off PCM and then real riders or a whole team off PCM I will continue to follow as I love it!

Noooooooo Waldo Noooooo.
He is considering retirement with this setback but knows the team need a rough-cut veteran for experience and advice on the cobbles.
Thanks everyone, it was a great result for the team.
@bennettWPS, don't worry, I'm not talking about you. I mean people that don't visit the forum at all or very rarely. Sorry that your guy hasn't raced yet but he's targeting the US races later in the season.
@Cycleman, he did well but not quite well enough to get another point. Don't forget James has already been given a point .
@jaxika, thanks. Zoltan has started his season in the Tour of the Med. I'll keep track of his performances.
@The Rider, it's definitely too early for Waldo to retire but it's a big blow to his career. He crashed in the middle of the peloton on a straight road on his own. I'm guessing he needs stabilisers!
It seems that almost all the people I give points to disappear!

Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar!
@mvhoogdalem, best not to dwell too long on that final stage. The game can be a real pain at times! Fischer is ready to go!
@547984, no, he did an important job keeping Gombocz out of the very strong wind and fetching bottles. His sacrifice and dedication to the team has not gone unnoticed and he will be repaid later on, I'm sure.
Brewer - You kind of forgot to sprint on Stage 4 of Qatar .. Not sure if you realised that or not.
Great ride from Gombocz on Stage 5 and a fantastic lead out from Birtels.
Stage 6 - Wow...talk about undoing all the hard work! Poor day for team...some strong words needed I think! To be honest, none of them bar Der Velde seemed to be able to avoid being blocked in!
Still enjoying it as much as day one Brewer, keep it up! Oh...perhaps at the end of each month update us on rankings for riders/teams and where we are in terms of meeting our sponser objectives.
@kyanto, sorry. I'm actually not trying to go that fast but I'm enjoying it and I have plenty of time at the moment.
We all eagerly await Yamada's debut . His TT skills will hopefully get us some good results.
@owen10ozzy, do you mean Birtles didn't sprint? If you did, I know that as he'd been in the breakaway all day and he didn't need to sprint. I'm proud of my performance on stage 5, that was much better , but stage 6 was a nightmare!! I'm very, very impressed with Van Der Valde so far, he needs a chance to lead the team. Pure powerhouse.
And thanks a lot for your support and motivation . I will keep giving you info like that every so often, including results, rankings and any other news that I feel might be important to you.
As for the sponsor objectives, you know we succeeded in Mallorca, by a long way , but failed badly in Qatar . Next sponsor goal is the next race, Haut Var.

So, Bekele earned a point. What happens now?
He gets +1 any stat upgrade. However next time he cannot upgrade the same stat.

Can't remember if Criterium International was on the schedule or not, but that seems like a race that my guy would do somewhat good in if he improves in time.
Wow what a huge success in Mallorca 
I'll keep track of his performances.
