If you can get constant top 3's in both RVV and P-R it should be possible to avoid relegation - barely.
There are several relatively weak teams in the WT when it comes to points gathering, since sprinting stage wins doesn't give you a whole lot, yet stage race GC's and classics give you loads.
Argos, Vacansoleil and to an extent FDJ and Lotto are likely to be at the lower end of the WT ranking so if you can stay ahead of them during the season you should be allright.

Thats about right. If you do get put into a Conti Pro status, it can be rather fun. And at the end of the season you should be back into the WT.
I have only been put into Conti Pro from WT once. And that was the second season I ever played PCM. I just picked too many hard races. If you a good cobble team...you should be fine. Classics and GT stage races tend to offer more points that races like the Tour of Utah or Colorado.
If your not in the bottom 3-5 teams in WT rank, you should be ok. I have never been 5th from last and gotten relegated to Conti Pro. I think the game only takes the bottom 3-4 teams. So stay 5th to last or better you should be fine.
Or download an editor if your really worried and alter some things with it. Im not sure what area (prob points) that you would have to edit. But that will no question keep you out of being sent down to Conti Pro.
Also, you can use your save file. Load in back say 1-2 weeks and get points in the races you didnt fair well in. Again, an editor will make it much easier.
When I was send down, I made a stronger team buy signing good riders at transfer. And then I stayed in the top 15 in WT the next season.
So you have 3 decent choices: 1- get sent down and win most races pretty easily and strengthen your team at transfer. 2- Use an editor to cheat some points to stay WT. 3- Use you save file and go back and get some extra points in the last few races. You should beable to stay above the cut off this way.

Well, in my game, Euskaltel always is at the bottom in the end.
And you forgot Lampre as well
Thanks for the advice. I won't cheat so points are the way forwards.. However after a great GP da Vasco and gent , we are sat 2 in the WT rankings behind SKY so I think we'll be fine!
