Could you tell us what actually happened at the end of Palm Classic? It looks like a breakaway from the screenshot. I really would like to know how Meersman and Schorn beat Cav in a flat sprint.
Some riders dropped back and blocked the others. Meanwhile Schorn was pulling out a gap as Degenkolbs leadout, only Meersman and Kittel could follow on his wheel.

Good start for Anton in Toowoomba 
Surprised to see you here after I got no reaction from you because of the race planners.

Weird to see Sagan winning by such a margin the second stage by the way. His hill stat is is too high in every DB, and ICL DB seems to be no different. I know I should have taken a closer look at the rider stats when they were up for discussion, so I know that complaining now is rather lame, but the problem with story games is that every rider is basically in the same shape since the season works without peaks and such. That turns Peter Sagan into the most game-breaking flaw in my opinion since he will end up winning stuff like the Ardennes again like he did previously in EPIC, which would pretty much suck in my opinion.
Sagan is overpowered imo, should have looked at his stats better at the beginning, especially his HI stat is too high I think. But to be fair his competition here isn't too hard.

Palm sucked, but Mollema doing pretty decent at Toowomba. Regret not sending a better TTT team now, but Mollema provisional 2nd is great!
Since when is pretty decent a synonym for excellent?....... Mollema won a stage against 'better' opposition there......
-- Great to see the races coming along now, for Prorace things can only get better.
That's called a litotes, isn't it? I said 'great' afterwards

I posted the last two stages of Toowoomba but apparently the post got too long so it is cut apart somewhere. Do I have to shorten it, or is there an other way to fix it? |

I put the results now in two posts. That solution is of course not the best way. Jesleyh maybe you can talk to your admin colleagues about removing the minimum post length. 
You will also get Mallorca today, but I want to post the January rankings update first. |

Yaya Mallorca. My team is racing there. Hopefully Portugal get a spot in the World Champs so Costa can defend his title.

Nice. Gallopin and Intxausti scoring some early points and even improving on the last two stages. Add to that the stage win, and January has been a blast for the team. Looking forward to Mallorca. 
On another note: Chapeaux once more to the whole organization and idea, Bikex. It totally works!

So the rankings thread is the last thread I need for this game.
I am not sure about how many teams to relegate from WT and the other way around after the season. Please suggest what do you think would be the fairest number. |

I would say 3 as the teams are quite balanced and it's gonna be the matter of who made the right transfers, since not all top riders can display their full strength in each season. 3 creates more excitement too

Palm classic went ok Guardini in 7th ain't bad at all. Toowoomba however, apart from a decent TTT, was shocking  I sense a long season ahead...

Two teams to relegate seems good with 19 teams in WT.
About threads: How are the chances that we get a separate team thread for team presenations and all that stuff, with everybody getting like one post? I think it was talked about earlier. It'd be a great place to summarize the (hopeful) many seasons to come and keep sorts of a statistics.

Congrats Bikex, we have finally reached the good part: the racing.
-- The way you have reported the races so far as been ideal for the ICL, but when we reach the monuments some more detail would be good if that is okay with you.
- I'm glad we have some inactive managers in the WT here, that drastically improves Prorace's chance of staying up in the WT. |

I totally forgot about that, team thread is up now. It will be the last ICL thread.

Thanks.
Honestly, I don't really want to write longer reports. I can make some more screenshots though. I already started at Mallorca with adding a picture of the break, so that also smaller teams get some screen time.
If someone wants to write a report for a race, I have no problem with that, would be cool to also have some longer reports. So if anyone is interested to report a monument, tell me. |

No report is fine in my opinion. We'd be pissed off about the AI anyway.
