Can the following (by posting in this thread) please tell me which riders they want their bonuses applied to:
mvhoogdalem (Bonus 2):
MrUFo87 (Bonus 7) :
Jakstar22 (Bonus 8) :
Krisa (Bonus 10) :
Sammyt93 (Bonus 13) :
Shonak ( Bonus 15) :
There is a deadline of 12:00 midday tomorrow for this. I will apply the bonus to the rider I think you would have chosen if you fail to post.
Thanks Shonak and MrUFo87.
Around late afternoon tomorrow I will start up a thread in the story games section which will include each team's stats. After my first few posts feel free to reserve one post for a team presentation. Quality presentations will receive 15 UC points (if they include a good layout and goals).
Do not post more than once! You will have until Friday evening to post your presentation. They will be judged at 11:00 on Saturday morning when the first race report will be up.
Post any questions in this thread.

Very nice draft this time. Watch out for Borussia
I was thinking Perget may be a great signing (MNT 72, COB 67, RES 70). I was shocked only 2 or 3 people had him in their rider lists!

I thought so, too. And I was kind of surprised to get him that far down
But now I have to hope that the ai can handle having three potential leaders ( Koren, charteau, perget )
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Why did you actually do a random draft for the last one? We only had six drafts...
Force of habit....
Still I don't think anyone missed out on a rider because of it.
Well, I got last place while I should've been in 2nd place in the last draft. It's true I wouldn't get a rider from my list anyway, but I would've gotten a more useful pick, Leon Van Bon if I count correctly.

..........
All the bonuses have now been applied. Jakstar's bonuses went to O'Grady and Frattini and Krisa's went to Grabsch, everyone else stated where they wanted to go.
Now the database is complete. So I will open up a new thread in the story games section later today with each team's stats. |

Hey....... That is what happens when you submit a list of 10 riders ( where around 9 of which are clear first choice picks).
If you wanted another competent rider in the team you should have chosen someone like Cruz (69 TT) or a rider with (65+ TT) instead of Gadvoda as your last pick (TT70/71) who was always going to be a clear choice for many teams. |

It's no that (that was definitey mu own fault  ), but I was entitled to Leon Van Bon in the correct draft order. I was already 2nd last in the previous draft round, so I should've been second, instead you put me last again and I end up with probably the worst rider in the history of cycling

Nice to see some reservations up already.
Some of the 'team presentation' posts also have some extra details in already. But none, at the moment, will be receiving the 15 UC bonus points if they remain the same way. (Goals (ideally with those big stars), information about the team/ riders, background to the team, targeted stages, jersey favourites/ etc) will have to be included.

Rankings ... before we have even started:
| Alcyon | 30 | | T-Mobile | 30 | | Semen Indonesia | 25 | | Belgacom | 20 | | SwissLife | 15 | | Team Iberia | 10 | | Bluebell Creameries | 5 | | Celesio | | | Koenigsegg | | | Nespresso | | | SmarTone | | | Mota-Engil | | | Sahin Sucuklari | | | Team 7up | | | Cartoon Network | | | Borussia Dortmund | | | Petro China | | | Aer Lingus | | | Aviva - Ryanair | | | Team UK Youth | | | Nokia - Ekspla | | | Coca Cola Lime | |
I have said 10/15 UC points will be awarded for a good team presentation. It is 15 UC points.
Also don't forget to post in the thread, once the racing starts, after every stage who you think will finish in a certain place highlighted by me. Correct answers will be awarded 5 UC points and if you guess correctly multiple days in a row you will receive a bonus.
Rather than just posting a rider's name it would be better if you would sum up your thoughts on the stage as well, as you will have 3 hours to do so once the stage report is first uploaded. |
