Don't bid more than 350,000 on a rider fellow Div-2 or else you can only have 11 riders

With a 900k wage budget, and a minimum wage of 50k, won't it be more about being quick to pay for the best cyclists, and not so much about who can pay the most? In a full team with 16 cyclist, you only have 100k to spread around above the minimum wage. Thats really presses the wages together and makes the difference between a star and a domestique really small. Would it not be better to lower the minimum wage?

with 16 riders your average rider is 56250, so its about getting cheap domestiques and really only 3-4 higher paid riders.

You have a point there.
I experienced it with the stagiares in the PT/CT transfer season. I just couldn't afford more than the 10k, which made me jump between many riders.
I guess it would ease the pressure on the managers a lot.

That's the whole point. The wage cap is there so your team doesn't get loaded with top riders. If you lower the minimum wage, you can go higher or get more top riders, which would make the better riders their prices even higher.
Edit: Also about stagiairs, i ain't in favor of it. It's meant to be for signing some real future domestiques. Thing is, people just use it to get around the wage cap.

Well, there are 24 CT2 teams, 45 riders above 70 average and about 130 possible leaders still as Free Agents.
It`s no question that DT2 teams won`t be able to be very competive against CT teams, but all 24 teams have the same situation.
Due to the 900.000 maximum and 50.000 per rider there won`t probably be a team with 8 of these 45 best riders. So within the 24 CT2 teams the strenght should be pretty similar in the end.
Some are focussing on mountains, some on hills, some on cobbles. So lots of riders for everyone.
Plus the Nationality. There won`t be many bids on your National riders, if they aren`t very good. So no problem should have problems to get 12-16 riders with some of them being very good CT2 riders in my opinion.
On the other hand I have nothing to do with the rules in Man Game, so someone else might think different. |

Just because you can have up to 16 riders doesnt mean you should. You are doing 24 races, and Im fairly sure it is 5 riders per team per race. I always imagined teams would have around 12 riders, maybe 14 - 16 is overkill, like how barely any of the main teams go up to 30 riders.

If we should have, for instance, 100k-150k left on our salary cap, could this be used for training, or be saved for the next season, or are we better to just spend it all right now? |

There's no training for Division II teams. And next year if you are a CT team 100k will mean basically nothing. So the right thing to do would be to spend them all now.

7. You must not have more than 12 active bids of free agents at any one time. That means, if you have bid on 12 different riders, then you can bid no longer until the transfers are sealed!
Does this mean highest bids on 12 riders or does bidding on a rider and getting outbid still count towards your maximum?

This also counts.
So you just can have bids on 12 different riders until they are sealed. No matter if highest or not.
If you are higher, you cannot make any bid on any rider until you are under 12 again. |

will be complete lists of teams participating in C1 races announced before we will start planning rider schedules? I think it could be very useful and would add another tactical element into game

I can tell you that youve got all the races you applied for, everyone has. (Well there was one instance where a team wanted to be in a race, but by the time they applied, 20 teams had already signalled an interest in that race, so they had to pick something else)
It would take a lot of time for me to go through race by race listing the teams riding, and I dont see the benefit of it at all anyway. Better that you pick the line up you wanted for each race with absolutely no idea of the competition, in my opinion. I can assure you though that a challenging field can almost certainly be guaranteed. 76 of the 85 races have at least 10 teams, only 1 race has less than 7 teams. If you want to try and guess which races may not be popular, sure, but at least without knowing, it remains pure luck if you end up in that 1 race with not so many teams - imagine if the teams in that race knew? Theyd surely select a stronger lineup there than they might otherwise have planned to.
And dont forget, Div2 teams will get the occasional wildcard to C1 races. This isnt going to be them chosing a C1 race they want, this will be me offering them a space in one of the undersubscribed races to boost the field size a little - and before you think this might help give a clue, these C1 wildcards wont be handed out until after the CT Rider Race Planners have all been received by me

Nope, but I only need to check the transfers files before they become the next step, so I expect some managers are starting to plan.
