I feel like I'm going to fail miserably at most, if not all, of my goals!

Good news that one of my goals the Cauberg Classic is one of the unsubscribed races, and I have sent a full team to the Middle East  |

Clasica a Quetzaltenango is popular? Dam I should have sent a stronger team. I thought it would be a quiet race so I just sent Alarcon, Krasnoperov, Nazaret and a few 76 climbers.
Go easy on me 
Ratiy will eat them alive! I considered training him to 82 Mon, kinda regret it really, but didn't want to touch his race-days

No surprise that Clasica a Quetzaltenango is oversubscribed. I considered skipping it, but then thought would be a bit lame to do.
I'm not racing it again, but glad to see that the Tour of America is getting more popular. |

Unfortunately it seems I'm not alone in this battle

So, whoever comes last in Monterrey can be cheered up by the fact that they are guaranteed 20 ranking points! It may not seem like much, but most teams are bound to have some races this season where they score nothing.
That's what I was counting on 
Race planing didn't go very well for me in this department though. I'm racing 11 of the most requested races, but on the other hand I'm glad I didn't register Plaza for Quetzaltenango.
I add myself to the choir of applauding opinions on the Tour of America situation. It's nice that it finally has a full field even tough that reduces my chances to score there. I guess I'll have to take whatever Nicácio will grab for me.

Tour of America is a major wtf! The last couple of years have seen one or two teams score heavily there, this is not going to be easy now.
Should be a great race, but probably a bit of a lean one for some teams.
Interesting analysis - I recall two years ago racing several races with just four and five teams in. Glad to see that is not going to be the case this year!

Uhm, bad news here, I'm riding most of the full races. I expected it for a few of them, but damn, those are too many. :/

I thought I was being a tactical genius by sending a few decent riders to America. I probably should have done that whole "put yourself in others' shoes" exercise to realize most other managers would be thinking the same after last year.

Metinvest will unfortunately race a ton of the fully subscribed races, but that is cycling and we will fight for it! At least Monterrey TTT should bring us nice points.
