I'm playing with Plussbank - BMC. I struggle a lot with the economy, and I'm not getting the best results either. I have just entered May 2013. In the 2012 season Aasvold won Tour of South Africa and one stage in the same race. Roy Hegreberg (signed him before the season started) also won a bunch sprint in the same race. Aasvold also won Rogaland GP in front of Kristoff and Paolini. That was an epic race.  Other than that, no wins for me. Van Rensburgh, Aru, Rake and Navardauskas is my new faces in the 2013 season.

Some really, really nice names there. I'm sure with those guys your team will perform much better.
I'm going to start a Vacansoleil career and just play around with it ove the next couple of weeks with the new PCM database.

I just started a Career in Continental level, but the organizers won't let me join races that my sponsor wants me to take part in. Do I just ignore these races then, or is there something I can do to change the minds of the organizers? |

I don't know this from experience but from reading various threads on the subject the sponsor goals don't have any effect, there redundant really, so i think you can ignore the sponsor goals safely. |

I'm in 2015 with my (previously) Plussbank - BMC team. Benosta (Banesto) has taken over the sponsorship, and I've signed som good names. As Plussbank - BMC I had a really good 2014 season. Caruso, Phinney and Van Rensburg took 3-4 victories each, and when my scouted stagiare Gvildys (from Lithuania) ended 2nd in the WC, I promoted to the Pro Continental Tour.

I am waiting for the new patch / version of the Daily DB . But I dont know what team to choose . My favorite team is Sky but they are over the wage and it sucks , so I am thinking of OPQS , Liquigas , Movstar and maybe Argos . |

Im into 2014
Started a custom team, continental british/american based
Best result of 2012 1st GC South Africa
Best result of 2013 1st GC Tour of Britain
Still pro-conti for 2014, but may get WT with some luck
Best Rider; Peter Kennaugh 77mo 75hl 74tt 77rec
Best Sprinter; Jakob Rathe 75sp 76acc 73cb 70sta

No real issues so far. The usual odd transfers and new sponsors (theres 2 rabobanks and 2 apples). No crashes, was one where the game wouldnt advance, but id edited something wrong so easy to fix

I've just made August with Carmim-Prio-Tavira, doing well, got some big signings coming in next season (Betancourt, Manuel Cardoso, and one of the best sprinters from the U23 races)
Andy Schleck won the Tour followed by Frank, and Contador and Andy will be riding on the same team next year, as will be Evans and Nibali. Oh so realistic! |

He was on second place before last finish in a climb with two minutes ahead but one day before that he hit the ground and after that nothing was the same . 1. Contador 2. Anton around 15' 3. Martin 16' and Rolland 17' . And i forgot about Pinot he has finished 10th after he fell off two stanges in a row in first week , he's comeback was incredible . |
