Looking through other teams looks like LUICMPOPOAINYWBUTEYJVYJV won't have as good a season ( ). Picked up a couple of good riders in Rolland and Bardet and a few more that stick with our team philosophy. I'd rather do that than sign a big name or two though, more fun.
Should pick up two more riders via the PM round (if not, hats of to however i'm battling with) leaving me with a bit of money to see what i can find. Really need to sack a couple of guys though that i should have done during renewals, jsut didn't think transfers would be this succesful...

Well this round totally sucked, now my team sucks too. I hate the guys who stole all the italians.
Haters

Really pleased with that opening round - got two really nice riders (cataldo and Guardini) and a really decent core of hilly classics men.
Intrigued to see if I can land a few more in the om round. Other CT teams have done pretty well too very nice to see some guys that could make an impact even on the WT stage.

Damn it! I should have been more aggressive with the initial bidding, but at least I've got four riders that I really wanted, decent salary cap space and hopefully at least one more star following R1.2. 
Great job again bikex, at first I thought you'd made a mistake with the minimum required bid but then I realised 90% of what I offered (rider x) would have been below minimum wage.

I'm really happy with this round. Signed nearly everybody on my list.

Meh, I had hoped nobody bids on Quintana or Betancur and I'd land a cheap bargain with 'em 
Ecopetrol will be some tough competition! 
I hope so! With Betancur and Quintana both coming in from Team Air France we are kind of their replacement in the WT.
Betancur has very few domestiques for the classics at the moment. I need to get him some helpers in the following rounds.

Okay so I'll make the deadline for the replies of round 1.2 16.00 CET tomorrow. You should have had had enough time till then. If I don't get an answer I'll reuse your first bids. |

Results for round 1.2: https://www.mediafire.com/download/3sw...d+1.2.xlsx
Results for training research: https://www.mediafire.com/download/oww...ining.xlsx
You'll also find a table with the stats behind the stats, so you can try to find out how much benefit one stat package gives you. In Table 4 you see how much points for what stat are needed.
You can use those stat packages also for transfers.
I'll open a transfer thread now, with all the important information,

Cool. Also wow did someone end up overpaying for Talansky. I tip my hat to you sir and hope he can be as effective for you as TvG was for me. Plus side is i've now got plenty of cash to splash!

On the plus side, Van der Poel!!!

855 for Talansky as well as over 1000 on Terpstra. I think it's safe to say somebody's high as a kite.

Okay so transfers are open. For 60 hours you can offer riders there. Leaving 12 more hours to seal deals, we will be done with round 1.3 in 3 days. |

Well this high biddings make it unpossible to buy riders as a small team.
Look Bikex paid 1650 for Nibali, My total budget was 1800 were I had to buy 10 riders for. So you guys make it pretty impossible to sign a leader
really dissapointed
