Nice to see us representing an Italian team with two our riders taking the part. Hopefully they will be able to show their abilites to find a new team for the next season.

Sounds like a great idea. Any chance of Uwizeyimana getting a place? I'm pretty sure he's eligible and could be a good bet in an all-round stage race
Edit: Nevermind not a stagiare...

The series will start with a TTT on the legendary route over the Øresund Bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö to introduce the teams to the viewers.
After that they will travel to France racing on the route of Wanze-Arenberg, which has a lot of cobbles in the final part allowing the specialists to make a difference.
From there we go to Luxembourg where the Punchers of the peloton will battle it out on the route of Clasique du Grand-Duche. With the amount of hard hills presented here there will be no hiding or just happening to be lucky. To win this you need to be a strong hilly rider.
From Luxembourg the peloton will catch a plane to Africa, specifically Namibia where they will ride an ITT around Windhoek.
After that they will go to Burkino Faso for a stage suited for the sprinters and flat-beasts.
The final race being raced in Andorra will probably see close to a revers finishing order as only the strongest climbers will be looking forward to the finale.
The series is more meant to present the biggest talents in each discipline but will be supplemented with a rankings system where the riders are given points corresponding to their finishing position.
Non-finishers will be given 20 points more than the worst finisher.
The winner of the overall will be the rider/team with the least points at the end.
Updated startlist found in post 2. Now only Central America and Central Europe left without a sponsor. Any 2014-team may claim one of those no matter what your team nationality is.

Central Europe can be Rothaus - Aegon.
Last official Rothaus appearance.
That said while I had some eastern Europeans in past, not my biggest focus today.

What about this jersey for Asda - Bank of Ireland? Edited the old BoI jersey to have Asda colours and the Asda logo on it.

Hmm, nice initative.
Hopefully Reinders can do something at least, although I kinda doubt that

Yeah nice initiative again Atlantius another bonus bunch of races along with the story game!
Was a bit dusappointed to not see either one of my stags make the list, though they are pretty ordinary riders. With less youngsters added to database this year certainly puts guys in the shop window a bit.

Time for Orlov to really show why I think he'll be a great domestique for Prevar in a few years

Dippo: It has been added.
Smows: Didn't look to the stage creater at all. Wanted some stages that favoured the specialists while I also wanted to stick to races that are exclusive to the MG, thus leaving out quite a lot of races along the way.
All: Thanks for the support. The DB is now ready for testing and barring any trouble I expect the first race to get up tomorrow.

Wait, what? Riding in Oz colors means winning in Oz colors!
But seriously, actually nice to see those lads going for a 2nd place.

Well done Rothaus. Perfect goodbye tour.
Nice report. Great addition.
Looking forward for the flat stages with my former rider Schoch hopefully showing something. |

Not a good start at all! But not too worried. We should have good chances with the likes of Hendricks, Beneke, and Gichora in the flat race.
Nice intro and report!
