Good to hear it's okay with you. It's back on extreme now and the results should get a bit more realistic. And to make up for the mistake, here's the two final pieces in next year's squad!
What's a Dutch team without a Dutch star? Nothing, so we decided to change that. Lars Boom will be our new leader on the cobbles and in easier stage races with a time trial. His allround ability will be a great resource for us, especially in races like Paris-Nice and also the cobbled classics. Possibly the signing I'm most pleased with.
And to strengthen our climbing even more, we also bring in a developed Uzbek, who's now a decent climber, comparable to Fuglsang and Coppel. Strong secondary stats as well and a very fast kick in the sprint. Lagutin will be useful in the mountains and the hills, especially when the stage ends with a flat, where he can use his fast sprint to surprise others. Just the kind of rider we needed.
Hope you liked them. The team is now complete for the next season, ready to work hard in order to stay in the WorldTour.

Great signings, with Boom you can win many types of different races and a great domestique when needed. Lagutin should add to the team too.

Lagutin should be a bit higher in TT, or else he's decreased but I like that you signed him!

Two great signings... Both will give you great results, that's for sure, and Boom, I think, will be the best rider in the Dutch classics during the year.  |

I knew you'd like Boom. I'm also very happy with both of them.
@ valverde: He has definitely not decreased, so how much do you think I should raise him with?
Skil squad:

Geschke is looking for revenge after crashing out of overall contention in Poland, and will try his luck here, with Sprick and De Backer as lieutenants. Van Hummel will take on the sprints, with leadout man Veelers possibly also getting a chance.

***** Cancellara
**** Kreuziger, Hushovd
*** Phinney, Boom, Thomas
** Sánchez, Hincapie, Menchov, Froome
* Barredo, Popovych, Rosseler, Konovalovas, Farrar
With the time trial being totally decisive for the final outcome, I'll eat my hat if Fabian Cancellara doesn't win. Roman Kreuziger might be his closest rival, as long as he still has some Tour form. To say a third favourite, I'd bet on Thor Hushovd, who can gain a few bonus seconds from the sprints and stay high in the GC during the TT.

Oosterhout - Sint Willebrord

Day two on a normal Netherlands terrain. Flat, with a mass sprint to expect.
Thor Hushovd grabbed the opportunity when a mass crash happened in the very last kilometres of the stage, launched an early sprint and held off the others by a large margin for the stage win. Van Hummel lost a bit of concentration in the crash and could only manage a sixth place.

Stage 3
Aalter - Ardooie

OMG, LOOK! It's a cobbled stage! Wow, there will be huge gaps today!
Not exactly, surprise, surprise. Mass sprint again, this time with Daniele Bennati getting the better of Denis Galimzyanov and Kristof Goddaert, who overtook Hushovd right at the line, denying the Norwegian the leaders jersey. Van Hummel finished eight.

Stage 4
Heers - Andenne

Mur de Huy and some other steep climbs on the route for the fourth stage. Attacks are expected on the last hill, and we hope that Geschke can catch the right ones.
No stage win for the favoruites though, as a late stage breakaway made it all the way. Jan Bakelants took the stage win ahead of fellow Belgian Björn Leukemans and Cristiano Salerno, who got distanced in the finale after leading out the sprint. Geschke finished in a little group with a few other favourites half a minute ahead of the peloton, jumping to 7th overall.

Stage 5
Roermond (ITT)

The most decisive day in this race. Cancellara will most likely extend his overall lead to an unreachable margin, and Geschke might drop out of the Top 10, but it will be nice to see the Top 10 changing a bit.
As heavily expected, nobody could come even close to Cancellara's level. He won the stage easily and stretched out his overall lead even more, pretty much wrapping up overall victory.
Geschke lost quite some time, and dropped down to 12th overall, but with the Top 10 just a few seconds away. Intermediate sprint chasing tomorrow.

Stage 6
Genk - Genk

Back on the flat for the penultimate stage and the penultimate mass sprint. We'll be trying to win at least one of the three intermediate sprints to move Geschke back into the 10.
A late attack from James Vanlandschoot surprised the sprinters, allowing the young Belgian to hold off Bennati in a very controversial finish, where the finish line was wrongly placed, playing in Vanlandschoot's favour. Leopard protested heavily, but with no effect.
It was a great day for us though, as Geschke managed to win the first intermediate sprint and finish second on the two others, catapulting him up to 7th overall again. Just what we wanted.

Stage 7
Sittard-Geleen - Sittard-Geleen

Another flat day and another mass sprint to expect. Van Hummel says he's ready to finally score us a decent result, so we hope that he's right.
He was, but we couldn't stop Matthew Goss from winning the stage. Not Bennati either, but Veelers and Van Hummel finished third and fourth, a much better result than in the earlier mass sprints.

Great result for Geschke, since this is just not his terrain. And also a nice podium finish by Veelers.

Nice Eneco result. More realistic than Pologne. 
Also like your signings. Not sure about Boom`s potential, but in my story he became awesome although I play with the ASO DB statwise.
I wouldn`t edit Lagutin`s stats. He is like he is in your DB. So I would let him like a pure "climber". |
