Presenting Ayubowan! 2018 - somehow younger than before, but with perhaps one of the best sets of leaders you'll see in the PCT.
A really strong PCT squad, reminds me a bit of the one I won PCT with, less hilly depth but more mountain depth
Yates and Monsalve should be good in the stage races / mountain stages with Carthy as a good nr.2, you just have to hope they dosen't run into one particular rider too much... Then McCarty being one of the best puncheurs in the division should score a lot.
Without knowing a lot about the other teams this should be one of the best ones
Not to mention talents... Some of them would fit really well on my team next year for free you know ;-)

My team for this year's PCT run. Quite happy with the talents I have, and the fact the team has grown younger. Useless stagiare Malieiev isn't on here, was too lazy to add him... He's 68HI and Ukrainian, that's about it...

Welcome fellow one-trick team
Gonna need some good planning for the many days Pluchkin won't be available. Otherwise you might get into relegation danger. Fun squad nevertheless! |

Sexy buggers. Also loaned out Nzeke and Afoa.

WCC transfers are complete. Window has not gone as smoothly as management would have hoped, and think team manager Scorchio might have mis-judged which direction to head in for value in the market. Nevertheless we have endevoured to put together a squad that has a fighting chance in a relegation scrap. Last season our mantra was 'push-for-promotion'. This year might well be 'engineer the Great Escape'. Await the release of post-transfers DB with great excitement to start evaluating just how tough that job might prove.
Rider colour key: default = with us last year, red - new signing from FA/transfer deal, orange is the riders loaned out for XP purposes.

I'm pretty sure I tried to pick him up as a 50K dom last season Atlantius, and you out-bid me (?). A couple of versatile riders like him in the squad certainly helps ease race planning headaches!
I also think his name is awesome (maybe just sounds funny in my accent), I had to look him up on google to check he exists (he does), as original thought was he might be a MG hidden nugget .

Scorchio: Could be. Can't remember apart from him and Brynjolfsson being my late season targets for cobbles helpers with general usefulness.
Both took a win as well.

@Eden95
Failure to secure an additional 2nd tier leader does mean that WCC end up with a bit of a long tail. Russo was perfect in the circumsances very late in the day of the FA market. I only realised he was a NC when putting the image together for posting here .
@KO
Agreed. Would be impressive if the rallying around by folks who were able to in the last 24 hours or so to dig others out of problems means that there are no good riders forced onto the bench for a season. There always seems to be a few in the past from what I recall.

Great team. Especially as it is your first season! You should be in for an eventfull year Sepulveda + Rodrigues are a great set of leaders for that division.

Minions '18:
Probably won't be in the battle for promotion but Zepuntke should do better than Betancourt, which means I hope I stay out of the relegation battle this time.

64ACC Zepuntke is scary, I hope you're right...
Fun team though. |
