When Team Sky folds... British Airways - Het Nieuwsblad fies to the rescue...
This story will be different. As opposed to other stories, where one writer takes control of one team single-handedly to lead them to glory. Well, keep the glory, and add the public of the forum to the decision making. Here the season's plan will be decided by you! Obviously you don't know the team yet, but I want you to answer this question:
What race(s) would you most like to see BA - Het Nieuwsblad succeed in the upcoming 2014 season?
- Tour de France
- Giro d'Italia
- Vuelta a Espana
- Ardennes Classics
- Cobbled Classics
- ProTour Stage Races
- Other?
Now the way you answer, is within this template.
My top 3 choices:
1. eg. Tour de France
2. eg. Cobbled Classics
3. eg. Other
I will award 3 points to the top choice, 2 to the second, and 1 to the third. Send me in your answers, and I once I have enough the next step will be revealed...
Now get voting!
And before you ask, Colnago is still going strong. This is just a mini-story that relies less on me, and more on you.

Using my Man - game sponsor I see  Btw, it's Nieuwsblad and not Niuewsblad ( I too made that mistake once early on ) It's hard name to spell at first, but it can be broken in two parts easily. Good luck with this 
1. Tour of Britain
2. Cobbled Classics
2. Ardennes Classics
1st logical as you have British sponsor. 2 and 3 are same with Belgian's sponsor.

1. See if you can do better than Sky and fulfill their goal of winning the Tour de France.
2. Despite consistently finishing well on the cobbles, Team Sky haven't been able to win either of Ronde van Vlanderaan or Paris-Roubiax. See if you can eclipse them in this.
3. Other than a 3rd place at Amstel Gold Race by Gerrans, Sky have been unimpressive in the Ardennes classics. So once again try and do better.

I was waiting for a response, then I would've answered with a trollface
Anyway, here's my real vote, I'm going to leave SEB tartu on 1 because I'd love to see you sending your best squad and getting at least a 1-5
1 SEB Tartu Grand Prix
2 Cobbles
3 Tour de France

Eden voted Giro and Vuelta for his top vote, so I split it. I'd apprediate if we didn't have that any more though.
When I wake up tomorrow I will see the numbers, and then show the team.
