Team Preview
Full Team:
Key Riders:
Nibali will be relieved of his duties in helping Basso to win the Giro this year. He will be given the role of bringing the Tour de France title back to Italy once more.
Veteran Basso will once again try and win the Giro D'Italia, at the age of 34 he is very much on the decline and will find it tough against the new young talent coming through.
Sagan, still a baby in terms of professional cycling at the age of 21, but at that a very talented rider already making his presence felt at the biggest races in the world. This year will be the biggest of his career so far, he will be our leader at Amstel, Fleche and Liege aswell as our sprinter at the Tour de France.
Future Talents:
Viviani is a guy coming from a track background and successful one at that. With the Olympics taking place in London this year and his ambitions of a medal there, he will be forced to possibly ride the Vuelta or the Giro to try and take wins on the road. But a huge sprinting talent for the future.
Moser is a great prospect for the future. His ability allows him to go down two career paths, that of a great Grand Tour rider or a superb hilly classics rider. which ever one he becomes, what's for certain this guy will win some big races in the future.
Caruso has been on the scene for a season or two now but still repetitively young. Being Italian we have ambitions for him to win the Giro in the future.
Sponsors:
We will be looking to try and persuade Cannondale to stay in the sport and continue to partnership this important cycling team for the future.

If I can post, good luck! Liquigas are becoming one of my favourite teams! I love Cannondale's too! And please make it a team story. I want to see the whole team develop, like Moser, Sagan and Viviani.

Brilliant team to ride with, I'm currently just racing with them on a Tour de France stage race and Sagan is a little under rated on sprints but I suppose he has to be other wise he will become unbelievably good in career mode. Nibali is one of my favorite non-British riders so I hope you do well with him and the rest of the team if you decide to play with them too. So all in all Good Luck! |

I had a very nice time with my Liquigas one rider story, so congrats on the team choice  Could be very interesting, although you should probably watch out that you don't get too strong very quickly. Sagan, Nibali, Basso, later Viviani, Moser etc... Could soon turn into an overwhelmingly strong team.
