I think this one will be just as good. Especially season 2 when the team becomes pro-tour.

Doesn't look like a Pro Tour team to me no offense.

...need to work on your reading, the intro part specifically said the team would have big signings for season two. Expect the squad to have BMC kind of money. I just don't like to sign riders away from their teams for the first season. Anyone who is end of their contract and from the Americas is fair game for me next season. For a rough shortlist...

Tour de San Luis | January 21st, 2013 | San Luis – Villa Mercedes: 165 kms - Flat |
Our first stage is a flat race with no major impediments. A significant portion of the race slopes downhill on the run-in to Villa Mercedes creating a perfect opportunity for the sprinters to go for the win.
Only a small two man breakaway with our own Daniel Ricardo Díaz and Cofidis rider Julien Fouchard who would easily win both sprint points along the way. The two would work well together until the final 20k.
After Fouchard attacked, it would take a bit for Díaz to catch back up, but when he did he also went right by the tired Cofidis rider. The peloton would have to work up a sweat only finally catching our man inside of 10k to go.
Androni would build up a great leadout for Fabio Felline, though many green shirts (of several shades) follow right behind with Bardiani and Caja Rural both setting up their own sprinters.
The finish would see Felline take the win fairly easily following his spectacular leadout from Marco Frapporti while Oracle gets their man Fast Freddy Rodriguez in 2nd and Sacha Modolo finishes third for Bardiani.

He exports the results, sets them in a table, like this
[table=100%](top10/20/whatever of stage[/table][spoiler][table=100%]rest of the stage[/table][/spoiler]
same for the gc
@Kent
Nice result for Fred;)

Selwink is mostly right, thought I don't export the results. I get the results from dyn_stage_classification and dyn_race_classification from the DB. Which I then put into a spreadsheet which organizes it.

Primary Sponsor: Oracle
Oracle is a premier technology company, primarily known for creating Java, and has a background in racing sponsorship as they have been a sponsor in the Americas Cup, sailing competition.
Oracle did not create Java, but purchased the company (Sun) that did. Oracle itself is mainly known for its databases, although they have a huge, wide-ranged stack of products these days. |

Hopefully over time the team can even contract a couple of Brazilians, to list one notable absence, to further diversify the rooster and represent all of the Americas. Though I understand if at the start there were not many, if any, good uncontracted Brazilian riders available. |
