Liked my preview. Indeed I did wish I could have Juul Jensen, and maybe if I had sacked Van Leijen earlier, I would have been able to make one last bid for him. But it was not to be. Maybe some day I can get some Red Bull alumni and win the CT.

Team are obsessively high on Danes, unfortunately most haven’t got the Bacon.
As for my own team I agree that Samoilev is a bit high on the wage side of things but getting a maxed out Hasta back next year will make up for that plus he's great for getting some more depth to both my stage race squad and TTT-team.
Thanks for a good read packed with compliments

Four more great and nicely written previews, I can also much agree with the opinion on them.

Nice read; agree with most comments on our team although our talent base is diluted somewhat by the fact that our best talent is riding for you on loan this season The leaders are indeed old but guys like Soler especially were brought in just to aid the promotion push this year, if we do promote there will be some big spring cleaning! Didn't know Orozco was a Red Bull alumnus, really must do some more research on the riders in my team's history one day

Hmmm, I was expecting some rant over my complete lack of talents at least
But if the worst thing is to be favorites, I guess I can handle that too. But still, we aim for top 5, not first place
Thank you for the previews so far. Very enjoyable! |

Was all a good read. And yes, I was hoping to be outbid for Bayly as I had my eye on another rider, but it wasn't to be.

Even though you made the review for my team long ago, I just realized you had made it  I'm pretty happy with that you see me as a Top 10 team and that I don't really have many weaknesses.
Two stage wins, 4th in Cristobal and 2nd on last TDU stage. Already a good season start after just two races

Okay yes got to the end - was laughing at some of the later teams - so many things I did in my first year such as buying a load of exotic riders.
Good luck all you CTers particularly the first timers. Made the ranking prediction as well.
Now off to read all the other high quality CT previews!

Honest, to the point and very funny! Another prediction for a bottom 5 finish, but hey, it is my first season and I will learn the more it goes on

The four previews for my team are 3rd, 3rd, 8th and 8th.
I would really like 3rd, but something around 8th is probably more realistic. Also, you do know the Sobota is Danish, right?
Thanks for the great preview though.

Hmm I don't really get the last part of the bit on my team (lovely alternative name, though )
The bit about like Belgian burning brightly but fast? Is this ManGame refered or something I missed?
Anyway, enjoyed it though |
