I took one of the last two available teams which was Elextrabel. Unfortunately the team is not very strong. But the two riders i chose (who im sure are not chosen), who are Jimmy Casper and D'Amore are two good sprinters. Got the two of then to help in sprints but i still dont have someone who will win in the climbs but thats alright.
Plus, your team all have good FL and STA stats, so you'll have a good train. Uphill races are your Achilles heel though, you'll have to rely on breaks. 
Yeah. I was looking for a climber/stage racer but in the end went with two 76 sprinters and miche is the favourites in sprints.

That'll just make it an awesome game.
Then everybody will think really hard about which riders to pick when, and then the races will be much more exciting.
Im looking forward to this aswell. We need jakstar to get his two riders and then we can begin.

Team Headquarters? What do you mean by that?

Well in the ManGame each manager has a thread for his team as you can see here...but i don't think we'll have it, at least Sportingnonsense didn't mention that.

I don't really like the fact that everyone just took the best riders available, no matter nationality. But ok
Also, I don't think HQ is necessary...

Well nobody said you should pick only rider of your sponsor nationality and honestly what would you expect from a manegement game? The weakest ones? Plus not everybody has chosen the best rider avaible but the ones who suits more the team eventhough their nationality isn't the same of the sponsor |

Well, allright then, but I hoped at least
And nationality shouldn't be the same, but a little bit realistic.
Anyway, doesn't matter, it's just that I have a disadvantage since I chose some decent nationalities instead of one of those (South-)Americans or West-European guys.

Thats alright Jesleyh. I see what you are saying and in a longer management career it would be more like that. But in a shorter season like the coming one people just want riders that will win or help them win. And some teams lack leaders, like mine.

It's a reflection of the Management Game really. Some go for nationalities, others just go anywhere. If it's any consolation Jesleyh, the nationality focused teams do tend to get a little bit more support from fellow managers!
There won't be Team HQ threads, but if anyone fancies making a Team HQ style post then you are welcome to post that in this thread.

Ah, sorry, didn't know that Jak had posted his riders. Does that now mean that the excel file with the schedules will come out soon? My HQ-style post will come when I have time.

Sounds good! I choose my extra riders from countries close to Germany, not exactly keeping the 1 nationality team I wanted as I thought they were too weak.
Anyways, lets get this rolling!

Well it's just a 10 race season, so it's more of a straight up competition than role playing at all.
