Dev Team outclassing the seniors again in Australia. Pls send help.

Nice ride so far by Pete in Pais Vasco but I know it's about to go horribly wrong for no reason so meh.

Great to see Byrne getting in the break on his WT debut. That already makes him one of my most successful riders. :lol:

Jan Barta surprising by breaking into the top 10 GC in Pais Vasco and Clement Chevrier making top 3 in young riders. Will be delighted if it stays like this at the end.

Sucks for The Rider of course, injured riders are always annoying. My riders are taking turns in having a bad stage, and while everything looked so yesterday, it's very much over at this point.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Fantastic news from the NCT, first Theo breaks through for his first win of the year and then Johnny Hoogerland places the decisive attack on stage 3!

Nice to see Nino Honigh having an impact for Porto, I'm hoping to see more of our old team doing well this year. Very happy with new recruit Reinders so far though Grin

Feel sorry for the rider, that's pretty Bad. Frown

For us it's going pretty well, De Gendt still in the top 10 so hoping for a top 5 with the TT Smile, really just wishing Nieve stay away...

Also nice to see Pizzi joining the break and finishing 7th on stage three of NCT. Smile

As with the results I'll post later tonight February will end I now already posted the March preview: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1134128

As for Italo this will be an important month with the classics season kicking off for Vanmarcke, as well as for Nibali, who'll do a lot of one day races this season, let's see if it pays off. Smile

really surprising, maybe he can do something in France instead (hopefully he won´t beat Fuglsang at his debut for the team Pfft)

Rui Costa better do well in the hilly spring classics to get our season back on track and to give him a good start to the season.

So far my effort to keep the core of the team intact after relegation is really paying off. Our team is all about depth. In every single race we have someone capable of doing something under the right circumstances, but we rarely have the stand-out favourite.

Sorry for The Rider really, always sucks when the dominating leader falls.

That said, bitter sweet 2 stages for us really, Stage 3 was great actually with 4th and 10th by an overperforming Wackermann and an underperforming Moser... While we basically lost the race in Stage 4. May have been good to make Toowomba an objective rather than this but I'm still hoping Moreno can snap back in the top 5 if not even more in the next days. Vanendert shouldn't be this high right? Pfft

Nice to see Palini doing decently for Christina so far Smile

Then there's March I guess. Please Oss do something in those cobbled races. Please. Colbrelli should hopefully do something at Clasica di Tirreno Adriatico (which is an horrible mix of 2 languages Pfft), Cataldo should hopefully overperform at Tachira. But then, our season depends on him, always him, Moser. He needs to win Strade Bianche if we want to have more money next season. Although I'd happily take a podium as well

Thanks for the update Bikex.

The Rider
Why me! www.sherv.net/cm/emo/sad/sad-eyes-smiley-emoticon.gif

And to think, after stage 2, I was getting a bit touchy: thinking that Gilbert was going to win everything this year. Highs going to lows: I haven't experienced that a hundred times before ....

Wouldn't mind the top three staying the same in the Basque country, would be great to see Moser moving up as well (and Matt needs him to be scoring well!), I'd say Mollema as well but Filliers have already had plenty of success already!

Quickest season ever, so far, Bikex! Uploading the season startlists soon?

Lots of racing in march, again, thank you for that preview!

Seems like Van Keirsbulck can be considered the 3rd best cobbler at this point. I haven't played PCM15 myself, but based on PCM14, you cna either win a lot, either struggle to get top 10s. A nice result should definitely be possible on the cobbles.

We can't send Mollema everywhere, so Slagter and Wellens face some tough opposition in Strade and Tachira, any decent result will do here.

The first monument, Milan - San Remo, can be quite tricky. Van Poppel has something to make up after crashing out in the first race. Who knows, this may be his race.

The dev team has it's first race together with the main team in Dwars Door Vlaanderen, let's hope we work together well. After that, it's nice to see the pink shirts finaly amongst the list of favourites in Roubaix U23. Broeckx has a 3rd place in 2014, Stuyven a 2nd place in 2015, will 2016 be the year of Vanbutsel?

February already ending tonight? Sick!

March should start our title push. Omloop is the start of the cobble season and our Four Heavyweights (GVA, Sagan, Kristoff and Senechal ) are all there and in E3 and G-W. We aim to be the top scoring teams there!

Tachira is per Definition a race that we do not like but if I'm not mistaken then Ciolek leads us in sprints there and assuming most sprinters have dodged this race he seems like a strong option for the flat stage but he could also do great on on the easy hill rated stages at the start.

I'm not sure if I picked Strade Bianchi for Sagan. Guess j have to look at my planning sheat again^^

And then it's time for MSR. Kittel is is the top sprinter there. Sagan one of the top two hilly sprinters. Kristoff and Ciolek have proved in RL that they can win it from a sprint as well. GVA can never be ruled out in long classics like that. And Geschke and Senechal are more than just solid domestique. Absolutel monster lineup so er can only lose Pfft


The two ct.1 cobbled classics both have the expected strong lineups but with GVA I'm confident.

My Istrian lineup is mainly based on the prologue as I expect Gretsch and Grivko to perform. @ Bikex Any chance that you could add the top prologue specialists?

And last but not least Kobenhavn. Senechal as top favourite is hilarious to see. This could really give CarbonSports an edge for the Prestige Ranking over some of our rivals.

Thanks a lot for this preview!

Hutarovich just missed out on a podium but I'm happy he's coming into some semblance of form after bad performances in his previous appearances.

Finally a good picture of Ecopetrol's Colombian NC! Grin
Betancur and Henao went full Allianz there with the 1-2
Out of the current Pais Vasco top 4 only Majka is a decent time trialist, he has to survive the penultimate stage though.

Too many flat classics incoming Shock
Can we just stop pretending that anybody watches those and skip that part of the season? Pfft
I mostly look forward to Strade and especially Tachira our almost-home-race.
Considering their history in the race, I'm surprised that neither Purito nor Nibali are attending. Startlist looks rather weak, Carlos and Rigo should have a real chance to win this race.

Grin The spring classics are our main points scoring opportunity this season, we most likely need to be near the top of the rankings by the end of April to avoid relegation. Luckily Terpstra is a favourite in all cobbled races so hopefully he does well here. Grin

Also surprisingly weak startlist in Táchira should be great chance for Nieve. Grin

Thanks for the preview bikex. Grin
