Hard but not impossible goals. Looks like you'll need a decent sprinter for them, have an inkling you might be targeting a certain Aussie-German  |

You missed an  after my second question.
And why are you targetting Seskin Hill? 
As revenge i'll have to target Ocean Road classic too.
And the shortlist looks nice too, should all be quite possible.

Morton and Edmonson possible!!?? haha I highly doubt it
In terms of goals Asia tour is going to be very hard with the amount of HC races now Two win goals is a risk but with a Hilly guy like Weening last year possible with your jersey does that look good in game never seen two completely different colours on both sides? I doubt the collar will look correct. |

Bbl: Seskin is Irish, kind of GB, while also being in the same band as Great Ocean Road. Made sense to me
Jt: May not be possible but nice to aim high. Hard goals yes, but hopefully I can do some good planning, and I'm hoping the jersey will be nice. Oh, and an updated one will soon be in the first post with a better collar

Just a quick thing you forgot to update the jersey in the press conference.

While we wait for renewals to finish, let's have a look at a couple more transfer targets, who are all Free Agents.
Benjamin Dyball: Ben, and Aussie, is a rider with a good skillset and could be a very useful teammate this year, as well as possibly leading a few less important races.
Lachlan Norris: Another Aussie who could be very useful as a teammate, and could also get some very good results himself.
 Daniele Dall'Oste: An Italian rider with a bit less of a race changing quality. How ever much we'd like a team made out of superstars, the domestiques are also a very important part of the team.
Alessandro Ballan: Good on the cobbles and a decent sprinter, Alessandro would be a good capture to the team as an important part of the leadout train and cobbles squad.

With 4 bands to choose from, we selected, in order of preference:
Band 4
Band 3
Band 2
Band 1
We are glad to announce that we have been accepted into all these bands, and can't wait to challenge the best of the CT.
Why Band 4?
Band 4 contains two of our very important sponsor goals - The Great Ocean Road Classic and the  Seskin Classic. Our best riders will be heading to races in this band and we can't wait for some great results.
Why Band 3?
All 4 races (to be shown later) are very interesting in terms of location and/or history to our manager (me ) so we are looking forward to this.
Why Band 2?
It was either 1 or 2, and the profiles here seem more interesting.
