Why do you hate Levi (maybe doped) and yet sign doped riders?
Anyway I think Dumooz's team is nice because its not insane, but has great talents and well balanced.

not all of them are doped. at least I wouldn't rank them all as dopers:
Confirmed dopers category:
Gonchar
Heras
Mayo
Rasmussen
Basso
"who, me?"category
Contador
I'll-believe-they're-clean-until-proof-to-the-contrary category:
Hincapie
Popovych
Gusev

stages in Paris-Nice, Vuelta a Castilla y Léon, Tour of Georgia, Tour de France, the overall at the Volta a Catalunya (that's quite big), white jersey at the Tour 2005, a podium and a top5 at the Giro very young, and of course the Porec Trophy
and the surprise for the less informed: a Paris-Roubaix under-23

Well u guys hang on...
I'm sure Contador will get caught too given time...
About my team: only problem is that Boonnen is absolutely depressed which worries me a lot... I'm wondering how I will get his morale up... |

Well I still have Cavendish in my team so who knows...
Maybe I'll try to sign Ballan next year to replace him for the cobbles... |

that's pretty hard to do unfortunately, as winning races doesn't have the big effect that it should. you can also offer him a new contract. if he signs, it'll give him a boost. riding races that are in his "favorite races" list will also help.

I wasnt referring to Hicapie, Popo, and Gusev, i was talking about the ones he actually signed (Mayo, Rasmussen, Gonchar, Heras, amd Basso). I also believe the last three are clean.

those are the best climbers from the DB he made and not his team.
Oh, right -- sorry. I'm obviously not very good at reading. |

I don't care much for dopers, I just wanted to put together the best team possible to see what would happen. I am just having some fun with the PCMSpainDB until the 2005 DB comes out on Nov 5th. |

Well I actually managed to get his (Boonen) moral at two levels beyond very happy now. Which is already a huge improvement.
We'll see whether I can get his moral up at very happy. I'm up to the tour of Flanders now and his condition is almost at his peak (96). Nice...
Man, I love this game. |

I've got Boonen at very happy now, he's over the moon and I didn't cheat...
Problem is: guys like Boasson Hagen (protected rider) and Cunego (leader) don't have the best of morals now... I guess Cunego is tired of playing second fiddle behind Valverde... Oh well, we'll see. This is a department of the game I adore (the mental thing) cos it's pretty realistic.
Anyway I decided to post my team now (may 2008) per top 3 or top 5 specialization. Could u guys who are playing a career do this too. I'd love to see your teams...
Cobbles
Boonen 84
Devolder 78
Steegmans 78
Van Impe 77
Vanspeybroeck 77 (free agent at the beginning of the game but a very good rider, he has also 75 for endurance in the meantime)
All Belgian and with a team like Quickstep this is quite realistic.
Hilly classics
Valverde 83 (will have 84 any time now -- has 82 for endurance)
Bettini 81 (will be leaving my team at the end of the year)
Cunego 80
Visconti 78 (has a contract as team-mate at 6000/month but his moral is pretty low, I guess he wants to be promoted to protected rider at 40000/month)
Devolder 76
Tour riders (climbing stat as I don't have any time triallists)
Valverde 80
Cunego 79
Efimkin 78
Devolder 74 (almost at 75 now)
Pliouschine 73
Tonti 73
Seeldraeyers 72
Sprinters
Boonen 81
Steegmans 79
Cavendish 79 (still only at exp. level 2)
Boasson Hagen 77 (only at exp. level 3 and has 74 overall, what a rider !!!)
Vigano 75
Valverde 74
Bettini 74
Proni 71
To conclude, I'd just like to mention Sebastien Rosseler who is now at his full potential with 77 riding, 73 cobblestones and especially 79 for Time Trials. With this, he's now one of the best Time Triallists of the world... He's gonna try to win the worlds ITT this year. We'll see.
