Well done Ntanga, Bauer & Bekele! Nice to see the 3 working in unison...Bekele deserves massive props for his job in stage 2. Excellent job pulling everyone back in! Also well done to our debutants.
Brewer - Noticed you haven't shown the KOTM or Green Jersey classifications...we not targeting either of those in S.Africa?! Also any chance of revealing when my next race is? Meek is getting bored of sitting looking at his Besseges KOTM jersey...he wants to add to his collection!
We're not targeting the KoM jersey in South Africa no, but the points jersey should come automatically if we're up there on every stage. Meek's next race is the Tour de Taiwan but I'll be showing you the full schedule for March at the end of the Tour of SA.
Certainly Bauer will have 80SP by the end of the season!

Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar!
As we've reached the 1st of March, it's time for the first "natural progression" day. This works similar to how it does in any career so when you reach a specific day, your stats will go up.
This first one is for the youngest riders, and the five riders in the youngest category all get two points to apply to your rider, which can be used on whichever attributes you want. It is independent from the performance points so you can increase the same stat again if you want but please try to remember just improving one stat will make you pretty useless.
The riders are:
Juurikas Gochnauer Fischer Bakker Hashir
As I said, both points can go on the same attribute if you wish but making a guy that's, for example, 80MO and 70HIL will be a bit stupid!

*Important Notice*
I'm a pretty patient guy but I'm beginning to get a little bit annoyed with the members who seem to have registered a rider and don't give a damn about the story. I understand that some of you might be on holiday or have been on holiday or have been busy. I also know that Admirschleck has left the forum, which I don't really know what to do about. However, some of you will be getting kicked out soon.

It's not fair on people that wanted to be involved and couldn't get in because you took their place. You have until roughly the end of the week to reply to me (either here or by PM) or you'll be kicked out and I'll replace you. Sorry to sound like a dick but this is what I posted in the original rules, that I didn't want people who wouldn't participate.

What kind of race is Taiwan anyway? And massive GC plundering by Ntanga and Bauer
It's all flat and hills. A few summit finishes which are classed as hills. Bennett will only be a domestique of course with his poor fitness but I think the race will still suit him.
I'm on vacation for another week and a half without the ability to watch any YT videos and I don't want to spoil anything for me, so don't expect me to comment on any results or update my stats
Wow talk about cleaning up at South Africa. Utter domination by the team. Ntanga and Bauer were brilliant and the others did their part. Good ride from Rodriguez in the young jersey. I hope our young Bauer slows down a bit else we are all going to be left in his shadows.
When do us 'oldies' get our natural progression point's Brewer? I say old...my rider is only 21.
Itching for my next race now! BRING ON THE MOUNTAINS UH RAH!!
@jaxika, I gave your rider some potential and the game will take care of your progression for now. Obviously, if you come across to join us on the good side of the force, then your potential will be removed and you will start earning points like everyone else.
@owen10ozzy, well, the younger you are, the sooner your natural progression will come. You are in the next age group (where all the cool people are ), so our natural progression day will be next but when...? You'll have to stick around.
@everyone, I know Bauer is getting a lot of points but don't forget there are 13 attributes to improve in, so it will take a lot of time to become a world class all-round sprinter. Don't underestimate how useful stats like FL, DH, STA and REC are in particular if you want to become a top cyclist. Edited by brewers90 on 27-08-2013 15:00
Yay, Tour of South Africa was a big success!
Ntanga
Bauer & Bekele were really amazing as well
Also, for the South Africa ITT, yeaaah... that was rubbish. Just not something Ntanga will ever be good at. Schleck-like. Not a focus of him anyway.
Looking forward to the South-Africa RR. I took a look, and the South African Bunzl NC is really amazing.
Also, 23 is still not old(at all), in fact Ntanga got about 7 years to still get better, and 11 till declining, so 21 year olds are definitely not oldies Owen
Oh, and I got a point to spend.
Hmm... Hard choice, haven't decided if I want to progress his sprint, mountain or his energy stats first... Or even make him a downhiller...
