Update on the riders pool.
Some could have been signed as regional riders but appear to have been overlooked, while there are still some teams who do not currently lead the bidding on one.

Yep thought we could only bid on non regional riders in the non regional talent pool  |

A slightly concerning team chemistry then.. One rider earns 165k.. seven other riders 5k

Suddenly this exciting idea has become extremely annoying.

I am sorry Gusta, but he is by far the best available rider for my calendar! Had to pull the trigger after I was able to get Kulhavy for way less than expected! You play to win the game!

Lots of cool maxed and development potential riders still left in Asia. Maybe not as cool names, but everything will be Ok  .
EDIT: Maybe we could fast-track Batmunkh the younger into the Man-Game. Erdenechimeg is potentially an even better Batmunkh than v1!

Overreacted a bit there, my apologies! All this for a 73 COB rider
Sometimes the Man-Game really gets into your head!

Batmunkh 
Was very close on signing him in transfers for my team, but then decided to get back team legend Boonratanathanakorn instead. It's great that he still gets a very good contract. 
Still think you are building a very cool team Gustavo. Nice to see the Thai champ being picked up. |

Glad to see Chawchiangkuang finding a team after being part of Indosat since our first year. He attacks like crazy

Things went quite a lot different to what I would have expected. Everyone seemed to have 1-2 riders they would go big for, and then just sign cheap riders for the remains. I had expected a more classic FA fight where all bids counted.
I guess it all came down to very different focusses. It was fun nontheless, and definately something to consider for future seasons too. I have spent quite some time in the DB but also looking at races at CT level. Something I have never tried before. It gives a whole new dimension to the complexity within the game. Thumbs up to all who made this possible!
Now to also interfere with CT managers on a more regular level, throughout the season. Something I'm looking forward to a lot! I hope we can tease you a bit here and there with our selected teams - Obviously to a point where we don't change the ranking results on an overall base. It will be fun to be part of, and also fun to evaluate on for next season.
