Rapha is yours, right SN? So Jayco gets promoted regardless of whether Rapha catches them, and that's not even including possible additional promotions to flush out the PT. WOuld be happy for Levi is that happens.
If I understood it correctly, 6 teams are definately going up, and that's discounting Rapha and Unicredit. Levi is as save as he can be.
Good, that means quite a few spots will probably be open in the CT for next year. I wasn't really worried about getting accepted back in, but that bodes even better. Are any PT teams coming down then? Warner Brothers is folding right? But what about Carmeuse, isn't that Crommy?
Crommy and CrueTrue look set to be gracing the Continental Tour next season
Really! Is Warner Brothers Mike's? I've forgotten who's who.
Well, if he does suspiciously well in the transfer window, we'll know why

Tbh, our battle for "not-last" is less important than Bobridge fullfilling at least one season-goal But I definitely still hope for my team being able to put some pressure on Meji, even though it should be hard to beat them in Japan..
Perhaps more interesting actually is the battle in the Asian Tour. Both Oz and Meiji have a Top 5 goal there, and just look how it stands:
1
Jayco - Red Bull
1850
2
Hollister Pro Cycling
1007
3
Team Bianchi
971
4
Rapha Condor - Qhubeka
734
5
Oz Cycling Project
703
6
Meiji - Fuji
701
7
Team Puma - SAP
683
8
Ferrari - ERG
628
9
VolksWagen - Siemens
590
10
Emu Export
556
I hate saying that because I really like both teams and wish them the best luck (as long as it doesn't affect us, of course), but Bennati is present in Taihu...
Oh, and I would hate it if we miss promotion because we lacked 200 points from a half-decent puncheur. Edited by cio93 on 03-10-2012 20:28
Kirchen did great and Impey at least got one sprint in there. Thanks Count for the tour.
Reassuring that the Asian Tour is mine, not that I really had any doubts about that.
What a battle between Meiji and Oz Cycling for that fifth spot, though Puma could edge them out. Of course Rapha could also be knocked out of the top 5 also.
Just about scraping into the Top 15 - not so good - looking forward to transfers - at least if I can re-sign Ginanni and Pozzo won't have to scramble around after team leaders this time round. Then again, I've always really, really wanted to sign Nibali.

I think many wants to sign Nibali ;-)
Gonna get rid of Bossisi this transfer season? I feel he dissapoint you all the time :-p
Yes, Nibali will be popular I think - especially if his stats are tweaked in the off season.
I've been planning on releasing Bosisio every transfer season so far - and failing. He actually won something this year though so may ask for a pay rise, in which case this could be the season I finally manage to get rid of him.....
