Dificulty-Hard
Hi guys im back again for my last attempt, i am going to do a story with Å koda with all riders from that part of the world, Czech, Polish, Latvain, Belerus,, Slovakian, Slovenian and Norwegian. Was going to put a couple Swede's in my team but decided this was my team.
It's a very strong team consisting of 28 riders and 3 leaders, we have been acceoted as WT so 20 teams will be WT for 2013. It has took me ages to do my team at first i had 4 77 rated riders but i decided 3 77 guys is plenty enough. I dont think it's silly over powerd though. Only 1 great GT guy 1 great classic guy and some good classic/GT guys.
None of them are the strongest though at what they do best so i think it will be good a carear. The team rally excites me 3 of my leaders were some of my favourite performances last year i really have a soft spot for all 3.
I will only do screens of the winner for Tour Down Under(becuase every time i do that race it bores me because im one of them that always stops and restarts). The real start of the season for this is Omloop and K-B-K as i wont even do screens for Feb races i really want to get into the season guys i hope thats ok?

The team isn't overboard, but you've got some nice depth there!

Santos Tour Down Under
Team
L. Konig(Team leader)
Y. Hutarovich(lead the sprints)
J. Polanc(Will go for KOTM jersey)
M. Golas
G. Smukilis
F. Rabon
P. Krejce(Neo Pro)
Not the best stage today but tommorow Jan Polanc who took 1st place for the KOTM points will lead the sprinters competition as he took 2 first places in the intermediate sprints. So he leads the points and the KOTM.
Polanc in the Sprinters and KOTM jerseys.

I'd been considering starting a similar career, but couldn't choose a squad, there's just too much talent lol. So I'm really interested to see how you get on. All the best for it and I'll be following with interest |

@Thanks Shonak i hope your motivation can rub of on me lol yes i like this team alot, i like the thought of doing well with these leaders who i like a lot irl(especially Stybar) hope you follow.
@Ollfardh haha your right lol, and no the race days is correct just meant to righ 8 instead of 1 lol.
@MrUfo Thanks mate
@Neilstar yes i like this team, what sort of team were you thinking of something similar or an all nation team? How come you cant decide lol, by the way it took me ags to decide i had Spilak and Kristoff at 1 point but i could not have all of them lol, not gonna lie Kristoff would be ideal as i need a sprinter to challenge, think it would be 2 overpowerd though, i will try to get him next year though may, would make sure i lost a few riders first though.
@Jackstar Thanks for commenting dude
@Sutty Thanks Sutty as always, indeed Polanc is a rider for the future has 4 stars in mountain so if he is 71 that will be 79, no? has 3 Hill stats aswell so could be a 78/78 guy or 79/78 if i worked it out right?
@Baia Great to see a great story writer like you commenting in my story, it was a good result imo Rabon was easily worst sprinter in top 15 so we overachieved. |

I just couldn't decide, cause particularly like taking both Stybar, Kwaitkowski and Velits from Omega seriously weakens them, and riders like Konig are the top men in their teams, so I just couldn't justify it.
Though, I had been hoping to build a team based around eastern Europe, and there's plenty of room to expand, given that you don't have riders like as you said Kristoff (Even though he's not technically E Europe ) but there's still SAGAN! as well as Spilak, Kiryienka, Eisel, Taaramae etc so there's loads of potential for this story to run and run! Go for it sir, GO! |

Cheers mate, i agree thier is alot of potential for this their will be some good news in Aug about next year i think it will make the story better hope i ant gave it away but he is not a Road rider i was going to have him added this year but next year it will happen. Thing is i would never have 5 or 6 strong 77 plus guys, so although it hurts me to say it to justify it im probz going to have to let a rider go if i wannted Majka or Kristoff else its way to overpowerd.
I get what you say about OPQS but they are still a great team, they just have zero GC guy now, in hindsight i should have just took 2 riders but then i thought take Velits or Spilak,and i think Velits is fairer than haveing Spilak in my team. |

Guys also how can i get the stroy going quicker at first i use to write it and save everything then upload a few stages at a time, now im haveing to play PCM and log into PCM Daily at same time its way too long to do this and sometimes ive lose text by doing it that way as it asks me to log back in its well annoying. I dont mind untill Paris Nice doing it this way becuase im finishing the stage quicker as im only screening the winner. |

Why don't use Word? I consider it way more comfortable since you can play and post when you want to.
