MG Database (Check)
Possibility of making jokes about Tasmania (To be seen...)

Sydney’s Luke Davison claimed 2012 Subaru NRS crown
Luke Davison (Budget-Forklifts) could celebrate after claiming his maiden Subaru National Road Series crown, with the 22-year-old unrivaled as he held the lead for the final six events of the Series.
“I feel relieved that all my hard work has paid off, it has been a long and hard year,” said Davison, who claimed line honours in the Tour of the Murray and the Goulburn to Sydney Classic.
*Walker rides for Pearl Adidas (ProTour)
**Giacoppo signed with Risa-Ergon (CT) prior to the 2013 campaign
It was a break through year for Davison's Budget-Forklifts team with a dominant display throughout the entrie 2012 Subaru National Road Series.
Victoria's Mark O’Brien held the leaders jersey for three tours after winning the opening three events on the calendar - the Mersey Valley (TAS) , Toowoomba (QLD) and North-Western (NSW) Tours.
Davison later continued this strength by winning 10 stages in total plus adding Goulburn-classic to his palmares.
Davison’s closest rival Anthony Giacoppo (Genesys-Wealth) needed to a top five finish in Inverell to take the title, however the sprinter was unable to hold on over the climbs in the notoriously tough race.
Although disappointed with not capitalising on the absence of the Series' leader in the latter part of the season, Giacoppo was pleased with his 2012.. he signed with Risa-Ergon, a new founded Continental Tour-team.

Thanks, guys. I thought I would be nice to post a short review of 2012.
So I just start to post previews for the most important teams and riders. Here's the first, more to follow soon. And for those, who know the NRS: if there's any stats way off, please let me know!
Huon Salmon-Genesys Wealth Advisers Pro Cycling Team [img-r]https://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x323/tsmoha/Teams_Genesys_zpse09fdb9f.png[/img-r] Team Ranking 2012/ 1st (1481 points)
Best Individual/ Anthony Giacoppo (2nd)
Highlights/ 1st GC Tour of Great South Coast (Anthony Giacoppo)
3rd GC Tour of Tasmania (Nathan Earle)
2 stage-wins Great South (Brenton Jones)
Watch for/ Aaron Donnelly - In his third year at Team Jayco-AIS had a six-month European adventure cut short in 2012 after a nasty crash. Won the most aggressive and young rider classification at the 2012 Tour of the Murray River.
Roster 2013/
Anthony Giacoppo took out the Budget Forklifts Tour of the Great South Coast, the fifth event in the Subaru National Road Series, in what has been a very successful tour for the team. He left the team to join Risa-Ergon and Genesys needs a new leader.

Thanks, guys! So now completing the Big-3's previews:
Budget Forklifts [img-r]https://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x323/tsmoha/Teams_Budget_zps0c7c24f2.png[/img-r] Team Ranking 2012/ 2nd (1300 points)
Best Individual/ Luke Davison (1st)
Highlights/ 6 Tour-wins in total
1st Grafton to Inverell (Peter Herzig)
NRS champion (Luke Davison)
NRS' 3rd (Mark O'Brien)
Watch for/ Michael Cupitt - Former triathlete returned to Australia after five years competing in the USA to join Team Budget Forklifts in 2011. A second place in the Grafton - Inverell indicates his potential.
Roster 2013/
Mark O'Brien won three tours early in the season and finished 3rd in the NRS eventually. A huge year, which he has to repeat, as champion Davison left the team to join Drapac.
Drapac Professional Cycling [img-r]https://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x323/tsmoha/Teams_Drapac_zpsa9e4eaf2.png[/img-r] Team Ranking 2012/ 3rd (1107 points)
Best Individual/ William Walker (5th)
Highlights/ 1st Melbourne to Warrnambool (Goesinnen)
1st GC Tour of Gippsland (Walker)
5 riders in NRS Top-15
Watch for/ Tom Palmer - Former world junior kilometre time trial champion. Highly rated sprinter who ended 2012 with win at Tour de Okinawa
Roster 2013/
Dutchman Floris Goesinnen has claimed the 261.4km Melbourne to Warrnambool Cycling Classic in unprecedented style. The Drapac rider and young-gun Aaron Donnelly formed a break with 40 kilometers still remaining, yet after 220km of racing the peloton had nothing left to give.

Alex Wohler always goes in the break. He is more of a Cancellara type guy minus the TT ability. He can usually keep the break going if it's strong but if it isn't he goes solo and manages to hold of the peloton with his power.
P.S. I have raced with him personally. Well my brother has at least.

Thanks, guys. And thanks for the infos, Jakstar! This is really appreciated, as I don't know every rider's type
GPM Data#3 [img-r]https://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x323/tsmoha/Teams_GPM_zpsf869c422.png[/img-r] Team Ranking 2012/ 5th (730 points)
Best Individual/ Chris Jory (18th)
Highlights/ 4th Grafton to Inverell (Troy)
Tour of Tasmania stage winner, Tour of Toowoomba stage winner, Tour of Murray KOM and Sprint jersey winner (Taylor)
Watch for/ Scott Law - Returned to Australia from Belgium in 2012 to become Australian Under 232 criterium champion and second place in the Goulburn to Sydney Cycling Classic.

Best Individual/ Paul Van der Ploeg (6th)
Highlights/ 3rd GC Tour of Great South Coast (Van der Ploeg)
3rd GC Tour of Bright (Smith)
Watch for/ Carl Britten - BMX and mountain background before moving to road racing. Strong climber evident by topping the KOM classification on two stages at the 2011 Tour of Bright.
Roster 2013/
Scott Law left the team to join GPM, and his strong sprinting skills will be missing here. Anyway, the team has a strong leader in Van der Ploeg.
Satalyst Giant Racing Team [img-r]https://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x323/tsmoha/Teams_satalyst_zpse28caad5.png[/img-r] Team Ranking 2012/ 7th (480 points)
Best Individual/ Bradley Hall (27th)
Highlights/ 3rd Melbourne to Warrnambool (Hall)
1st National Championships Elite Short Track 2012 (Van der Ploeg)
4th GC North Western Tour (Marshall)
Watch for/ Alex Smyth - Accomplished sprinter who won an Australian junior madison title with Leigh Howard.
Roster 2013/
Bradley Hall can be a reliable scorer for the team, as he proved his strength by taking 3rd in Melbourne to Warrnambool in 2012.

Thanks, guys. And, sutty, I tried to add a couple of good fighters per team. But Satalyst definitely has some interesting riders, yes.
Here's a new team to the NRS: a farm team of my ManGame-equipe Oz Cycling Project, which failed hard in 2012 So we decided to start a development project in Australia. This is one of the teams I will focus on:
Oz Cycling Development Team [img-r]https://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x323/tsmoha/Teams_OzDev_zpsa946d8b7.png[/img-r] Team Ranking 2012/ -
Best Individual/ Ben Grenda (33rd, Team Polygon Australia)
Highlights/ -
Watch for/ Ben Grenda - Launceston rider who road with Rapha Condor in 2012. Father Michael won Olympic gold in team pursuit in 1984. Goulburn to Sydney winner, a fast finisher with sharp race instincts.
Roster 2013/
Local Tasmanian Ben Grenda (Polygon) won a bunch sprint to the line to take out Tour of Tasmania's stage five.
Ethan Kimmince (right), 7th in Liège - Bastogne - Liège Espoirs last year, joined the team in 2013. He's a stagiaire-to-be for Oz Cycling Project and wants to show himself in the "farm team". He's also going to write a diary/blog from his races in the NRS.
