Didn't he win from a 60km out attack or something silly like that? |

Well, my rider lead the total rankings for quite some time, and hasn't got crazy stats, but quite realistic ones IMO

Do not remove current goals. Just get rid of ones that are ridiculously easy. People are already planning their seasons built around their goals.
Cycleman was just mentioning the fact that it is possible. No one has been dumb enough to do it yet.
If someone makes a dumb goal get rid of it.
..Period..

Nah, that explanation doesn't really work for me. He's 21 years old and has 80 MT. Based upon the assumption of a coherent EPIC management system - it's just kinda weird and ridiculous to have riders that break this "magic frontier" of 80 at the age of 21, especially climbers and stage racers. Contador, Schleck and Quintana were the best climbers below Age 25 in the past 10 years - however, none of them had 80 MT at 21. In any case, of course it's all fair and within the rules, I just can't take these type of riders serious and that's coming from the guy who wanted to apply with a superhero to the EPIC madness.

No, he put in a great attack from long range, with others, including a teammate, and was the only one of them strong enough to make it to the end. A great rider!

He did have some good fortune in the fact that no one wanted to help Euskaltel chase the break down and we didn't really bring that strong a team apart from Ion and de los Campos

Right, back to more serious stuff 
I'm missing the team goals of Argos, Lampre, Sky, Vacansoleil, Accent Jobs, Caja Rural, Colombia, Europcar, IAM, Sojasun and UHC. No deadline yet, but it would be nice if you find some time over the weekend.
If you want extra wildcards or remotivate your previous ones, do it now as well please. Again no deadline, but do it
6 more races to go, let's get some reports today 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

So suck it up and stop moaning. No-one complained when he was made, no-one complained when he won.
EPIC, as you pointed out, is not real so why should the riders abide by "real" rules. And you're the one who created this "Magic Frontier"... 80 is just a stat number that was used as a limit, it could have been 81, 79 or 55. 80 is just imagined as this great moment when the reality between 80 and 81, and 80 and 79 is pretty damn small

No worries, you previous reports were excellent, so we can do with one of lesser quality
That goes for all current reporters btw
And thanks!

2 of my rider's teams in there. 
The other rider is Cervero, so that isn't much better
I should really stop making Cervero jokes... |

Just updated one of my opening posts to include good results, and I have 2 things to say:
1. I've actually been going much better than I thought
2. Ollfardh, can we PLEASE have a separate race thread for Part 2. I does no harm whatsoever and it's just so cluttered right now. It literally took me about 10 minutes just looking for a result. Obviously it's not that long, but it makes people who need to catch up lose interest, and it makes it much harder for people trying to update their HQ's.

I agree about having a discussion thread and a race thread. It is really clustered with over 90 pages.

Agreed, a separate race thread is a must.
It's actually quite discouraging for reports, having to search through tons of pages, and what would be the problem, we have 25 threads or so. The 26th one wouldn't make any difference

Ollfardh- Are you able to resign custom riders at the end of season. Or do you lose them and have to find another team?
