Just for the record, I'm putting my points on HIL and TT.
I'm amazed at how few of you value descending. Only Varga, Kumano, Ntanga and Bekele are actually good descenders (all 3 Africans, weirdly). And Schroder aswell actually. |

Could I have my focus on some of the later cobble classics like Druivenkoers or GP Jef Scherens or something like that, at least something with cobbles?

Could you do an update at some point what the stats of every rider are? Doesn't have to be now, but every 6 months or so. Just like a copy/paste of the db or so.
Would make it easier for us to find our niche in the team so to speak |

Congratulations to our latest winners...Hashir & Ntanga. Excellent job from the supporting cast, especially Kumano over in France!
Brewer - I would like to save my natural progression for the time being if possible? Also when is his next ride?

More wins for the team. Wasn't expecting anything else. Bit close though in Belgium.
Does Fischer have any early season goals btw, or does he have to wait till Lombardia? |

+1 HI for Ntanga.
I think I'll focus a bit more on secondary stats with the next points, they aren't ideal yet iirc. (F.e Energy Stats around 67 I think)

@Selwink, okay I registered the team for both of those races and I've changed your fitness plan for them but you will be very fatigued by then which there is nothing I can do about. Plus, I don't know if you have seen it yet but you have 2 points to spend thanks to natural progression.
@kyanto, the beauty of a video story is you get to see everyone's attributes in each video. Just pause the video on the squad selection screen or something. I will be showing you the squad in the next video anyway as I go through the new riders.
@bennettWPS, you didn't have to use it on DH, I had just noticed when I was in the editor that loads of you had poor descending skills. Bennett's not that bad at descending anyway, and he's now +1 in it.
@owen10ozzy, I don't really get why you would need to delay your natural progression but if that's what you want to do then that's fine of course. Meek's next race (I think, don't quote me ) will be the Circuit des Ardennes in early April and then the Tour de Korea.
@mvhoogdalem, Fischer doesn't really have any specific goals because unfortunately for him, there aren't too many races that suit him where he would be the leader. But he has good shape in April for Paris-Camembert Lepetit and Himmerland Rundt (I know it's completely flat and doesn't suit Fischer but it's a home race for him). Then July and August for races like the Grand Prix of Wales and Tour Alsace.
@Jesleyh, thanks +1 HIL. We're definitely not short of punchers! BTW, Ntanga has 68 STA, 65 RES and 68 REC, so actually one of our best riders in those three.

Yessir I knew. Just wanted to be better in it haha. Next point will most likely go to cobbles or resistance. |

And another okay result for Kelly. Hope he hasn't got the Rojas-Farrar-Syndrome there. More great wins for Hashir and Ntanga, i think Promotion is probably already secured.
Oh and spend the Natural Progression on DH and FL please.

Da Silva got himself into Peak fitness to be able to secure a contract for the team and will try to stay near that untill the Middle of April when he will be going on holiday to Rio untill June hope you don't mind but he won't be doing any training or racing before returning to training at the start of June and trying to peak for the September Classics |

That's a plan jt1109
The only problem I can foresee is that we don't really have any September classics but he can still target the back end of the season.
.....
Once again, sorry for sounding like a broken record, but the pages keep moving so fast .
Juurikas and Bauer have a point each from earlier on. If you have a point please try to use it as soon as possible or it gets incredibly confusing and difficult for me.
Thanks.

It's okay. I just wanted to give him a better advantage against those punchy sprinters like Gombocz and especially Ntanga.

@knockout, don't worry, there is a lot of points to pick up and I think Ntanga is more interested in being an all-rounder than a pure puncher.

Fine Fine, Meek would like +1 Fight & +1 Stamina ....he says whilst he was going to up all of his attributes in one go in a special camp he's probably better of doing it now as he doesn't trust his forgetful DS to remember just how many points he has later down the line

@Knockout Sorry, mine will be hmm... Gerrans like. Puncheur with a good sprint.
Yours can be more Rodriguez style, I think
And at least my stats aren't unrealistic or so
