Solid point scoring, still in lead. Alright.
Quintana back in contention, because excatly that is what Liberty Seguros needed.

Kittel is just hilarious 
Winning everything before the Tour, now he doesn't win a stage and is not even in the mix for green jersey.

Cav! 
We got our stage win. Now it would be nice if somebody attacked. Though at least Stetina managed to outsprint EBH on Stage 15.

Great victory for Degenkolb.
Shame Greipel is already so far away in the Points Classification. |

- Nice to see a mixture of teams reaping rewards at the TDF. 
- VDB riding a solid GC so far, I am really on the threshold whether to give him some 'upgrades' or not.
- In the spoiler are the remaining races of the season, of which I don't think they have reporters for yet. With Bikex's system you could do any of the races today and upload them when necessary, so if you want to help out just post here or contact Bikex I guess.

I noticed that before. I don't call that hilarious 
Österreich went great for the Dev Team with a stage win, multiple BotD attempt, wearing the KoM Jersey some days and second in that classification. Very glad about it!

I know you said it before. That's why I was calling it hilarious
But hey, when you're at the top of the standings with nobody even in contention, you have to deal with people messing with you

What about Liberty Seguros? Arent they the team that should be hated because of all their doping past and so on?
I am just the beloved sprinter team. Nobody hates sprinter teams

Silvio - Let knockout have his fun ... while it lasts! Its not as if he can keep his 'big two' for next season.....
- I have to admit the dev. team idea is growing on me. I will look to have a dev. team next season, if possible, in place of one of many non active teams.
- Have we sorted out who is doing Vancouver yet? |

@The Rider: Yeah, definitely gonna get a Dev Team for next season too. Should be a fun to get some regens under the dark wings of Liberty.

Yep, can't promise that my dev team will get many funds pumped into it, but it would be fun to have one nevertheless. |

We will see. Do you have any information on the transfer season that i do not have or why are you so sure about that one?
Also, i would not even call it unrealistic. Quickstep have Boonen and Cav (and Kwiatek and T.Martin), Movistar has Valverde and Quintana (+Costa), Sky have Froome and Wiggins. Why would it be unrealistic if i would be able to keep both Sagan and Kittel in my team?

Let's wait until we know how transfers will work out. However, I have to side with knockout here, because Argos has Kittel and Degenkolb as well. However, I assume it will surely depend on the other teams lacking a real leader or being unsatisfied with theirs

Umm, fair enough, but I thought is was very clear in the buying period that Bikex set minimal rider limits so that teams can't become 'overpowered'. Sagan and Kittel will probably be in the top 5 most expensive riders, so you do the maths!
Don't think I am accosting you knockout! If I had two Gilberts on my team I would be saying the same thing .. to myself!
There is no point relating ICL to real life teams as the two couldn't be more different due to the fact Bikex imposed minimum limits to buy a rider.
However, my biggest concern is the interest here. I just hope that everyone comes together for the transfer period when it comes around so we have a good number of active competitive teams. |

Hey, i only commented on your post because it was the second or third time you posted sth like that and as I am so damn curious how the transfer season rules will be I wanted to know if you know more than i do.
(Don't think that i took any post personally at any time.)

Hmm. I always thought it was a try to have it as realistic as possible. RL riders won't sign for 1$ per month but have their minimum requests that depend on their earlier victories and their skills and i think Bikex tried to represent that in those minimum limits.
Also, look at the prizes that were paid for mediocre riders before the season. If that is anything to go after, then selling some riders like Henao or some of the talents would surely be enough to keep "the duo" with their wages in the team!

Monfort is doing great, though top 10 will be hard.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
