Started (once again...) a new career. This time with Argos, it's a fun challenge to play with such a team after I almost exclusively played with teams that focussed on GTs.
I just played MSR and the remain in WT should be safe by now. Tom Stamsnijder won the TdU after winning from a break with some 2:30 on stage one (never experienced that before!), Degenkolb was fourth after winning all four flat stages (not that hard with Kittel as a lead out against that kind of opposition). It seems like we have an abonnement on 4th places now, Degenkolb scored the same overall at T-A, including one stage win, and also finished 4th at MSR, just like Gerdemann (I signed him, obv  ) at P-N. Ânyway, so far, it's a lot of fun to play. Degenkolb also won 7 stages at the Tour of Langkawi and two classics, so he has already 14 stage wins. Next up for him is E3 Prijs and G-W, then a break until August. Kittel rides the Tour and the Vuelta. Unfortunately, Geschke broke a wrist so he's not going to be able to lead us in the Ardennes ...
My 4th place streak continues as Gerdemann finishes 3 seconds behind winner Pinotti in a very close Volta a Catalunya (oh, and Preidler won the mountain jersey). The E3 Prijs was the first race that I really sucked in (WT-wise, at least), Degenkolb was 15th, but won Dwars door Vlaanderen and Gent-Wevelgem. His first part of the season is finished now. Gerdemann continues for the Pais Vasco and the Ardennes. Still a lot of fun

Just finished first season with Orica Greenedge.
At Giro, Weening got KOM, 2 stage wins and 20th in GC.
At TDF, Clarke got KoM, and a stage. Had Gerrans in yellow jersey for a day and green for another 2 days. Goss highest performance was a podium on stage 1. Hugely frustrating.
At Vuelta, Albasini lead the race for the first 4 days, where he won a stage, and also found himself in points jersey for a day or two. Won the TTT with a terrible team, and Cam Meyer finished 16th in GC.
Albasini won MSR, whilst finishing top 10 at all the Ardennes races. Keukeleire finished top 5 at both E3 and Ronde Van Vlaadaren.
Cleaned up pretty well in the August classics, winning Vattenfall and doing well in Canada.
For 2014, brought in Kelderman and Nieve. |

The long-ish ones are actually quite easy to win, as long as you have at least a few decent timetriallists.

When i want to start a carreer with an own team, i start always directly as a Pro Continental Team (instead as an Conti-Team, thats my goal).
Are there any restriction i´ve overseen while building the team? |

It's the start of your budget. 100% is 640 000 budget, I think. |

Plus it determines how many scout reports you can use when scouting for young riders.

Europcar/Carrefour game broke and couldn't be asked to fix it...
so time for some overkill....
Cavendish, Goss, Chavanel, EBH, Porte, Kreuziger, Taarmae, Renshaw, Roche, Martin, Kessiakoff, Swift, Haussler, Thomas, Barta, Stybar, Meyer, Larsson, Stannard, Rowe, Lofkvist, Lavery, Kennaugh, Veilleux and Dowsett
Decided to avoid most of the major names and class leaders just to be fair

It's unlimited I think. If you want to play 80 years, its possible...

I sort of lose the joy out of it 5 years in. It's not the same when all the riders you are used to these days are either useless og retired |

the game gets slower evry year becouse of the increasing amount of data (riders, palmeres, etc.)
in my experience 10 years is doable and when you go further you need a lot of patience... (but i think a better pc will do longer :-p )
