Its awesome that you kept the team realistic 
Pro Tour will be a challenge with those guys, but you are a PCM god so you should have no problem

Well, i know which races i should peak for to get the best out of my guys, and how to level them up the most effectively for the best results. And afer doing all that, if all else fails the Eneco tour and the tour of Poland provide ample time for Ciolek to get enough points to keep me afloat!
EDIT:
I'd also like to say that i shall only be reporting Pro Tour, and level .HC races from now on, unless the race is one i really like, or feel like its important for the feel of the game.
And i shall no longer be editing the amount of days raced. There is no longer any need to get promoted, and i'm 100% sure i won't get relegated, so all's good.

I don't need any more good signings, with the constant supply of youth riders and the amount of trainers the team has, i can make my own good riders

Question: Will a new co-sponsor mean a new jersey? |

Interesting team. I like signing Pervis... on the PCM spain database I often grabbed him in year 1. Often won the french TT championship for me. When he hits level 4 you'll be very happy.
Decouttere may end up being a better cobbled rider than Gaudin too.
You should have a good sprinter team... though any pro-tour event with a mountain may be a struggle for you. |

well done on the promotion, however for me some of the magic was lost when you admitted cheating by changing your riders days raced stats:cry:
still a good achievement though and good luck in the pro-tour. |

I think it will still be French, as Auber is still one of the main sponsors |

Whilst the lazy Italians we hired to make our new shirt are still having their afternoon nap, the tour de Langkawi got underway this afternoon.
With Jollet now being fit enough to keep up with the bunch nowadays, he'd be our designated sprinter for the tour. And being just one race day away from becoming even more road experienced, the tour is ideal for him to get even better at sprinting.
He'll be backed up by some of the new guys, such as Sobal for the flat, hills, and everything else, and Minard, Valentin will provide help for Yannick Martinez who has become quite a capable stage racer over the past year.
Todays stage was marked with an unexciting breakaway that was gobbled back up just after the final intermediate sprint.
With Thor Hushovd now racing a new calender to the one he did last year, was anyone else going to dominate the sprints? Well running into the final 5km, Auber Beltelecom were leading out Sobal and Jollet.
And Hushovd came through via his own lead out, to claim a victory.
Behind him, in all the chaos mass crashes were occuring constantly, with Galland picking up an injury along the line. Martinez lost 2 minutes being stuck behind one of them, and so looks like he's out of the GC runnings.
Results:
1 Thor Hushovd CRÉDIT AGRICOLE 1h59'05
2 Saïd Haddou BOUYGUES TÉLÉCOM s.t.
3 Nicolas Sanderson SOUTHAUSTRALIA.COM - AIS s.t.

If you hadn't picked up:
1) yes a new shirt is being made at the moment
2) the squad remains French, it's just co-owned by Belarus Business people.
3) The Belarus people dislike being called Belorussian as it refers back to the time when they were part of the Soviet Union or something. Possibly to do with them being persecuted. Not really sure. Wikipedia has the answer.
4) I am sorry that i let you down by cheating ringo, but it was the choice of changing the scores to get me promoted, changing the days raced so i could race to promotion, or just give up the story. I decided i'd do the least damaging one, and change the days raced. Purely because it's not a realistic setting anyway. Everyone knows riders can race more than 50 days without starting to feel the side effects.

With a sponsor pulling out at the start of this year, the budget was going to be a little tighter. To that end, some more French sponsors have stepped into the fold.
La Semeuse, a small food business has picked up the tab, so to speak, and has offered us a reasonable 5,000 euros a month for 24 months. We agreed.
And after that thirsty deal, Pelforth also came forward and offered us another 24 month contract, this time for 6,000 a month. We signed straight away.
In total, sponsors give us an extra 13,000 euros additionally per month.

Stage Two of the tour of Langkawi.
For the first time in ever, Jollet is pipped as a slight favourite by the bookies. Obviously they saw something they liked in yesterdays stage.
Another pan flat stage will see another bunch finish. This time, hopefully without the crashes.
Rolling into the final kilometre, Hushovd has just left his lead out man, and everyone else for that matter, behind in his wake.
He has powered off, and Sobal tries to follow, but no one is getting close as he takes his second consecutive win, and that makes 3 out of 3 races won for Hushovd.
Results:
1 Thor Hushovd CRÉDIT AGRICOLE 3h20'09
2 Yauhen Sobal AUBER - BELTELECOM s.t.
3 Thierry Jollet AUBER - BELTELECOM s.t.
4 Martin Elmiger AG2R PRÉVOYANCE s.t.
