Hmm just updated the first page with another 4 teams. Now that I read this comment I actually regret doing so. I should've simply not made any more teams. This is just low!

Well, I agree with you. But that's just one guy, the majority of us respect you and your life.
Excellent writing, btw. |

Thanks guys... Of course I will finish this now that I'm more than halfway, it was just a piece of sour grapes to get that sort of response imo. But I will aim to have it done by the end of the week. |

Nice report of my team although I feel the need to point out that Madrazo is actually a bigger talent than Tenorio. =)

Preview has been completed. Feel free to comment. Top 10 was extremely difficult to make, as many teams are very good in very different ways.
also note:
* WalMart has been deducted from this due to disrespect towards the danish press. |

Yeah I was in doubt about that because I think he somewhere said he didn't want to be in anyway, could either A) be a joke, og B) something I've dreamt  |

that's right with Waghlon is quite unexpected. But I think I saw Geraint Thomas on the top10 guys for PT on cobbles. Isn't he a British Airways rider?

Very nice preview, SotD. Will be interesting to see how good your predicition are. But it's damn hard to predict, especially when we don't know which races everybody will be in. Plus the transition to PCM 08.

Overall, this team lacks a lot, but the two main stars will make up for a lot.
I built this team for one purpose...To win stage races, I had no idea that so much talent would "trickle" down from the ProTour. For being only the second year I think my little team that could is destined for some big wins.
Great report, thanks for your efforts.
Edit:I mean you go out and sign the CT champ from last year, and still get picked to finish in the same spot you did last year...Oh well that much sweeter when I take top-5.

Great preview, it was surely an interesting reading. I kinda like how you rate my team and I hope your prediction is right because I'm starting to realize that I've already made mistakes with the race selections. |

Interesting reading. I agree my team is full of talent "a la Team B&O", but I still think I can perform to a better standard than 20th spot. You have to remember the training teams do can alter how a team looks quite a lot. And also for the reason that I will make less mistakes in chosing races and team rosters than some new managers, I hope I'd perform better than most. Personally, I'm aiming for a top 5 finish.

It's really hard to predict yes... It's hard to know whether I should take the strongest overall teams, or the most specified or simply the ones with the biggest amount of good riders... So it has been a mixture of everything And according to the new game, that could change everything. This is based on my basic knowledge in PCM |

That is partly why I chose very few one day races and more stage races and virtually no cobbled races, I went after my teams strengths. It should be amazing to see the season pan out with so many teams and so many new managers. |

Indeed... Trainings I couldn't take into account really, because all teams could train something between 2-4 riders, and to know exactly which would be trained and what would be a good training move would simply be too much work for me...
I haven't considered who manages what team to be honest... If I would've done that the list would've been changed quite dramatically, but I'm not trying to put persons in neither good nor bad lights by showing my thoughts towards their tactical intelligence. It's all about which teams beats another |
