I am very happy to be back in South America after last month success. However this time the team is much weaker. The objective would be to secure the best place we could over all with Alberio, go in the breakaway and collect whatever we can: a jersey, a win stage, a Top 5/Top 10 in a stage, or just some money...

STAGE 6 - Hilly

Hanson is alone at the front collecting all the Mountain points. It could be possible possible for the win. But with 5 kilometres remaining the pack was closing the gap with only 1 team at the front but Hanson was empty.

Huff was feeling great so he attacks and...

MONTH END NEWS


First I got my agent's price: it is 2k per week (and he hasn't found anything yet...) Sad

So my Finance looks like this:
+ 41k in the Bank as at the 1st of May (after having paid wages)

How ever I am short 14k / month for the riders' wages
and 8k for my agent so total of 22k

Basically I can survive 2 months. Another problem is that I got refused to all category 2 races for May so I will struggle to win price with my weak team given my
May planning:
i1318.photobucket.com/albums/t651/duxili/Planning1105_zps6580eca0.jpg

Moving to the recruitments,
i1318.photobucket.com/albums/t651/duxili/BannerJB_zps44db3eae.jpg

Should I propose to a U23 given my Finance and my lack of trainer?
Ranking is dominated by 2 punchers so far (Italian winning hills race at the beginning, French guy taking over more recently):
i1318.photobucket.com/albums/t651/duxili/U23_zpscf8452e6.jpg

And what profile should I look for given the Transfer season is approching? What salary range? What skills to target?
img15.hostingpics.net/pics/569261BannerRedS1.jpg
 
Abelbaba
A long race indeed, nice top 10 Wink
Looks like it is going to be a hard month for the team, as for the u23 riders I would wait a bit longer before signing one (june/july), but the Italian guy looks prommising so far.
And when you wait a bit longer you know better wich type of rider sutes your team.
As for the salary, new u23 riders always cost 2000 a month for 3 years (This is the standard offer wich they always accept)
 
The Rider
Great stuff! Wink Hope Van Ulden makes it for the Tour of California, the team need fighters for the breaks there.


Also, I would probably hire another agent/ 2 agents, so more potential sponsors can be attracted. Wink

 
duxili
@ Abelbaba, for U23 I know, my question was if I should target more experienced rider for next season and if so how much salary to target, what profile..., but it might be wise to wait for sponsor confirmation?

@ The Rider, Sorry but Van Ulden will not make it to California : he is completely out of form...
I hired a second agent so each week I have to pay 4k... That might become a problem soon.

3 days only, category 1, race with an ITT and an hilly stage. I have designed a team with no leader as Alberio is put at rest.

Plus we found strong competition (Nive, Rasmussen, Feillu...) The objective will be to get as much money as possible jumping in all breakaways.

"Hi coach,

- Hi Tomas, you look terrible, what's up?

- You? You ask me this? I am the leader of the team and I finished 45th more than 30' behind Schleck...

- So?

- That is terrible and don't tell me it is because you 've asked me to go in breakaway after the ITT because I haven't lost any extra time.

- Possibly not. If you want me to argue then I would say that in the first hilly stage, you were in the wrong split of the pack, and used your energy trying to come back in the main bunch, which you never did.

- What did you want me to do? Let them go and loose more time?

- No, be in the main leader's wheels and stay with the front bunch as long as you still had the force for. I am telling you this because it is your only mistake in a 8 days race.

- That is even worse, I am at the peak of my form and finished 45th, how depressing...

- Tomas, what do you think? Because you won a category 1 race, with a bit of luck you are a top rider? I am sorry to tell you are not.
Yet.
You get a great potential, you will progress and as you keep on progressing, Schleck will be aged 1 more year each year.
I count on you for now of course but even more for the future; I count on you for training hard, racing better and training harder.
It can go fast. Of course there is a big gap between you and Schleck today but it will close as you progress!

- Hum...

- Come on Tomas, I give you 1 week off to let you gather your mind, go back in Italy get some fresh air and train in your home roads. Remember your feeling and your time 2 years ago and compare with today. Then just think what it will be in 2 years...
I'll call you every evening to check on you and verify your training program. By the way, have you heard anyone in the team criticizing you? Apart from me as I certainly haven't.

- No, not directly to me at least, but they should have.

- Well they haven't and they shouldn't, because guess what: none of them would have done better. You have been a great leader so far. In California you had to compete with the best riders in the world and yes you are not one of them yet.
But you have already 1 win this year; you got the team the money we need. That is more than what I was expecting you to do this year. Don't worry the day I'll expect you to win will come and that day you'd better to win my friend.
But this day hasn't come yet. So take your bike, train hard and make it happen sooner rather than later!"
img15.hostingpics.net/pics/569261BannerRedS1.jpg
 
The Rider
Harsh words from the coach. It sounds like Tomas thinks he is too big for Jellybelly now, maybe his impressive win is going to his head! Pfft

Well done in California for picking up the jersey. Smile

The guys found it tough going in California Sad

@ The Rider Thanks, yeap KoM was best we could achieve. And yes Tomas, got his head bigger every day. Good thing we have signed him for 3 years...

@sutty68 Unfortunately we just haven't any rider with sufficient level to compete Sad

Finance
From 41k as at 1st of May to 38k as at 1st of June.
Given the 4k sign on bonus to our 2nd sponsor agent, all in all good month on this front.
However we are still a virgin when it comes to sponsor approach...

Results
This has been possible thanks to Alberio and his Polish win (plus his top 10 in Belgium). It will be hard to renew the perf in June, Jully and August (until Ovechkin is back with the A team Wink)

Next Month Planning
We have been rejected from all beginning of month races despite 4 2.2 taking place. And it will be difficult to achieve big results in Colombia given the ultramontaines terrain there...
