Great to see Shonak and knockout helping out Bikex with good efficiency. 
- Can't complain about the Giro, Elmiger showed strong in breaks, a great stage win from vangenechten and VDB, eventually, making the top 10. |

Kreuziger is useless, I should sack him on the spot. I'm paying that guy way too much, he can count himself lucky that he's Czech, otherwise he'd be guaranteed to lose his job at the end of the season, simply because of the disappointment. This way he might have a chance of staying, but he'll have to take massive pay cuts.

Actually, Sagan was doing his own thing and had nothing to do with CarbonSports sprint train.

Hmm. That's interesting and wasn't expected

6th in a GC for Kwiatkowski is more than I could've expected. So all in all that was a good Giro for us though we had only 2-3 podiums and no stage win. Yes, I'm looking at you, Kristoff.

At some point in the near future, knockout is going to give the rest of us a chance. Good effort from Doull and Dibben in a tough race. Shame about the echelon stage and a slightly disappointing Yates.

Great ride from my development team, coming 5th in the TTT. Mohoric 20th in GC while never actually finishing in top 20.  |

Kittel on the way to become the continental classification leader 
Great performance of my team with a win on all sprint stages and a second place in the TT.
Some great points also due to point and general classification.

Hmm. I don't need to fight against relegation so I can use my top guys also in CT races to score more points for the prestige ranking instead of using them too much in races that does not really suit them just to find some WT points.
I may get a few less WT points but I will get more Prestige Ranking points which are in my eyes more important.

Great to see that everything worked so great here with Shonak and knockout posting the results. Big thanks to them! Only Tour d'Andorra missing, because of a small issue, but I think you will get that results also soon.

Do you still need a transfer forum for any of the games here?
What do you guys think about that, do you guys would prefer to have a transfer season similar to the one before the first season or would you like to bid open on riders like eg in the mangame?
Soon you will have to try to sign talents, so I need that information.
And keep sending in your research plannings.

(Thanks Shonak) Check out Gaetan Billie with two second place finishes, earned a contract for next season right there! It is fantastic to see that Prorace are one of the teams that squeeze the very best out of their riders.
Bikex - I was wondering when you would come up! Good to have you back.
ABOUT THE TRANSFER SYSTEM
- I would definitely prefer something very similar to the transfer system used in the MAN GAME (Because it is one of the most fair/ practical systems that comes to mind). Bikex's system was very good for starting out the ICL, but now most teams have their riders we are in need of a transfer system that is much less chance based.
-- Alakagom - The whole story game section of the forum definitely needs a transfer sub-forum, EPIC certainly would benefit from it.
Finally - knockout, that is fine but who the hell is Brewers93! |

Not sure about transfer system. I think the first one worked pretty good but also it's alright when there's open bidding going on. Maybe a mix of both, dunno?

I would much prefer to have a transfer season like the first season rather than the ManGame system; although it wasn't perfect and I personally found it quite difficult to judge, having gone through it once I think it would be easier next time.
One of the reasons I enjoy these Story Games like this and EPIC is because they are not the ManGame - while the ManGame is interesting, it's all terribly serious and full of subterfuge and gamesmanship, which the story games are not, and so trying to copy the ManGame is definitely a bad idea in my opinion

I'm with you there. It's just that I want something a little less luck based for the transfers, having said that if Bikex were to use the same system as before I wouldn't mind to much, as Stromeon said it should mostly be about fun.
- I finally just got around to ordering PCM2013! So I would be available to do some reports/ races similar to knockout and Shonak. |

It seems like there is a majority for keeping the actual transfer system, so it will stay but might be improved to be more efficient.

Cool if there is a race you'd really like to report, just tell me.
Otherwise I will let you know if I need reporters again.
