I have a horrible feeling I may have overlooked the TTT when selecting riders, but never mind. I have Ben Day at 76 but the rest of the team wont have even crossed the start line when he finishes! 
In all seriousness I'm hoping the short distance will keep the time gaps down. |

Well done Levi, reckon you can keep the leaders jersey for more than just 1 day?

Lol no. Maybe if Farrar or Huff can sprint well. I don't think I sent Friedman.

ok- at this rate we will be into season 2 soon. I love it.
I do have a question though related to the impressive bicycle handling skills of some of the other teams. (note- I currently have a shattered left collarbone due to MY impressive bike handling skills)
If there is a wreck and a rider is injured, is he magically fixed for the next race, or is there a recovery period like the game?
Levi- if my flat speed team can keep Bongiorno near the front he should take the spirints.B)

He gets given a magic potion that makes his injuries magiacally disappear
Theres no recovery period or anything like that.
Also, I may slow things down a bit as It may be a while before the PT season kicks off and we dont want to be finished before PT starts.

You should make the races as they are in the calendar. You make all the races until the start of the first PT race, that is Paris-Nice

i dont expect anything here, not my type of terrain. Once the road kicks up, leave me a PM. put a much stronger team in Langawi, i even put Usov there, but Mazzanti and Garate will be my GC threats

Yes but that one mountain stage is wierd. you get like one food packet so anyone who attacks to early is screwed. ANyone working on the front is also screwed. So i think Langkawi will be a race which will see a very close top 10.

Actually I think Slipstream and Kokken are tied! 50+64=114 +1 for yellow +1 for White and+(?)+1 for green!
117=117 B) So proud of myself.

I wasnt paying atention to food 1st time i played that, and got screwed. i just hope Mazzanti/Garate arent stupid and just stay protected to the top.
