Rider details of everyone signed up are available in the Teams, Riders and Races thread.
10 riders, including my own, are now confirmed to continue, along with two new additions. Sign-ups will remain open for some time.
There is also a small change in the game schedule, as I'd missed out the part about riders joining teams. Updated here.

• Name Maximiliaan Vansibraert
• Nationality  Belgium (Vlaanderen)
• Specialization Classics
• Favourite Team Trek-Segafredo
• Career Goal Race Ronde Van Vlaanderen beside Jasper Stuyven, Eneco Tour, one stage and carry out all three GTs at least once a time
• Height 179cm
• Weight 70kg
Born in Leuven 27/11/1999, grown up in Boonen era, most popular sportsman in his boyhood years in Belgium, lead to approach "Max" to cycling.
Started to race thanks to another cyclist that would become a Pro star, less crowned but very popular in Leuven: Jasper Stuyven, that gifted him the first bike, an old little one suited for 10/12 years old boys, in same year he won Paris-Roubaix Juniors. He started a great esteem relationship with Jasper, and become one of his closest supporter. Now that Max is close to a Pro contract, his dream is to race together with his idol.
He is a good all-rounder, but too heavy to follow best climbers. In youth categories demonstrate to be a willing teammate, and with hard work he is used to bear, found some personal role, raising his power that favored him on short steep hills and cobbled roads. Unfortunately often is not taking best strategy, and this is the reason of his miser showcase.
Max raced also in local cyclocross and cross country races, but didn't explode same love found on road races, but he is going on with a parallel program in these disciplines, finding them helpful for his bike handling skills.
Hopes are to find a contract in a Belgian low-profile team for first years and make some experience to get visibility from top teams that are pointing to classics.

• Name Ariel Pryde
• Nationality  Safed, Israel
• Specialization Climber
• Favourite Team Israel Cycling Academy
• Career Goal Win a major competition
• Height 5 foot 6
• Weight 130 lbs
Ariel fell in love with cycling at a young age and would ride up and down the hills of Safed from a very young age, never really having a favorite team, more favorite cyclists means that upon the formation of an Israeli based team, that became an instant favorite for him and he desired to race for them and win a major event as a member of the team, or even for his nation. He continued his training in more Northern Israeli climbing hills of his home town and even going some distance to train on the huge mountains turning himself into a climber. |

With 18 riders already assured to be in the game, it's a good time to get things rolling.
I will start sending out PMs with contract offers starting tomorrow or the day after to newly signed up and returning riders. Here's how it will work...
- You will receive contract offers from two or more teams. The contract length will be mentioned for each.
- Send back your team choice as a reply to the PM. Please don't post in any thread yet.
- Once I have your reply, I will post an announcement in the Teams, Riders and Races thread (won't be one at time but after I have 3-4 replies).
- Post that, feel free to write about it yourself in the same thread.
The following returning riders already have a contract for this season and will not receive a PM for this task:
Daniel Clark - Israel Cycling Academy
Mattia Tornello - NIPPO - Vini Fantini - Europa Ovini
Rocco Bianchi Campagna - Team Katusha Alpecin
Flosi Thorson - Team Katusha Alpecin
Mario Rizzi - Bora - Hansgrohe
Jens Christiansen - Israel Cycling Academy
Nagy Levente - Lotto Soudal
Pleas let me know if I've missed anyone/added anyone by mistake in the above list...
SIGN-UPS remain open.

Hillis confirmed via PM that Hillestad will be returning for the season. Hoping he posts a message here too, but I'm counting him in anyway. My rider will return too, off course, and he has a year remaining in his deal with Sunweb. That makes it 19 confirmed riders for the season Hoping that the 5 others who were there last season but haven't yet come back, do so too.
As far as the contracts go, I sent out 10 PMs and have received 9 responses already. Thanks to all for the swift replies. All the information can be found in the Teams, Riders and Races thread.
I'll start working on the calendar next and hope to get them up by the end of this week. Following this, the updated DB and the rider stat sheets will be shared to all for updates.
Sign-ups remain open. It's still not too late to join the game this season.

Name: Andrey Yanakiev
Nationality: Bulgarian 
Specialization: Stage Racer
Favourite Team: Bora - Hansgrohe
Career Goal: Win stage races that will serve as cornerstone for Grand Tour greatness
Height: 187 cm
Weight: 73 kg
Andrey Yanakiev was born on 17 June 1999 in Varna, Bulgaria. His parents are also sportspeople - his father, Todor, is former professional swimmer, while his mother, Aneliya, is former volleyball player. So being born in a sporting family, naturally Andrey, as well his younger sister Dariya (who is nearly 2 year s younger), took interest in sport as well. But neither of them will practice the sports of their parents. Dariya began practicing rhytmic gymnastics at the age of 6 with the hope to represent the next "Golden Girls" generation of Bulgaria. While Andrey got hooked to cycling after watching the big cycling events on television.
At the age of 10 Andrey entered Cycling Club Cherno More - the major cycling club in Varna. He was competitive right off the gate - winning the Republican Championship 4 times in the U16 class and twice in the U19 class. Around the same time the major teams in the country (like CSKA, Levski and Hemus) offered him a move to Sofia, but Andrey stayed in Varna. But another opportunity rose - Philipp Meyer, a world class manager, offered Andrey his managerial services and help in finding professional cycling team. Andrey agreed and at the age of 17 he went for Germany, riding for NRVg.Luisenstadt 1910 Berlin. Now Andrey is pursuing his dream of becomming the greatest stage racer ever.

@Ivan: Rider approved but year of birth has to be 1999. Starting age for the game is 19. Should I consider that?
