1. You may well have my favorite jersey in the ManGame. Oleg did an amazing work, the NCs are exceptional, too!
2. Looks like you have a really strong squad with ambitious goals, really nice. I like that you've implemented your national focus in the goals as well. Good luck

Thank you! Yeah I couldn't be happier with Oleg's work.
I'm glad I was able to continue the progress with the team's Swiss focus without sacrificing strength. I'm now up to 15/22 Swiss riders, up from 11/21 last year. It will really be exciting in the next few seasons when Schelling/Reichenbach/Dillier are maxed and trained up and I'm not reliant on foreign leadership.

We took our first win of the season today in impressive fashion in the opening TTT at Paris - Nice. With a strong comeback from a significant early deficit, the boys put our leader Vincenzo Nibali into an important lead going into the week of racing.

With the Giro d'Italia beginning in the new few days, it's time for an update for our season so far. While we aren't sitting where I'd like us to be in the team standings, the guys have without a doubt achieved some results to be very proud of so far.
Vincenzo Nibali ended up finishing Paris-Nice in 5th overall against very tough competition. This was an important indication of his form, as he will be leading the team at the Giro.
Stefan Schumacher had a respectable early season campaign, claiming 5th in the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya before going on to take 10th in the Vuelta al Pais Vasco and 7th in the Fleche Wallone. While I would have liked to see better results in the Ardennes classics, the competition is increasingly staunch this year and I have to be content with what we have achieved.
The result that I am most excited for, however, is Andrei Amador's recent 3rd place overall in our home race, the Tour of Romandie. While we had targeted this race to win, the other contenders (namely Spilak and Martin) were too strong for Andrei to compete with. I'm not too concerned, however, as this was Andrei's first race of the season and I'm pleased with how strong he is already. A good indication for the Tour de France!

Next up, as I mentioned before, is the Giro d'Italia. The team I'm sending is built solely around Vincenzo Nibali, as I have high hopes for the general classification. I'm confident that Vincenzo will perform strongly in his home race as this is his main goal of the year and he is highly motivated. We are sending a mostly Swiss squad with two riders making their Grand Tour debut. Here is our squad for the race:
Vincenzo Nibali
Christophe Riblon
Mathias Frank
Dominik Fuchs
Jonathan Fumeaux
Ivan Santaromita
Johann Tschopp
Simon Zahner
Thank you for reading, we'll see you in Italy!

It's been a while since I've posted here, and I apologize to everyone for that. With the final race of the season finished, I'll give a little synopsis of our year.
Needless to say, this was not a good year for us. We dropped from 6th in 2013 to 16th overall in the team standings (much too close to relegation), we went from 3 GC victories to zero, 2 points/KoM jerseys to zero, 7 stage wins to 3, and we accomplished 0/5 goals that were established at the beginning of the season. As a manager, this is very disappointing as it is quite a drastic decline from our very promising 2013 season.
Despite all of this, there is one major positive point that I take away from this year, which I believe is a key sign of things to come: Our young talents Patrick Schelling and Sebastien Reichenbach have started getting results, with 3 podium finishes between the two of them. These youngsters are the future of the team, and I'm sure they will be able to build on their experiences from this year and translate it to winning races next year and in the future.
Overall, I'm both excited and hopeful for 2015. There will likely be some important changes to our roster, especially at the top end. But the year is not over yet, and we still have Worlds and Nationals to focus on.

Hard season for Swisscom-UBS, but at least no relegation fears and you can build on that for 2015. I am anxious to see what changes you can make on top end of your roster as you suggest, i suppose certain ageing puncheur is on the way to PCT maybe? We can be interested in hilly leader...good luck for 2015 anyway!

Thanks Avin, yes I think I'm going to try to make some moves with Nibali and Schumacher to switch things up.

Frank Wins Swiss Road Nationals
The Swiss national road race champion's jersey will stay within the team as Johann Tschopp passes it on to Matthias Frank for 2015. Matthias has been a key rider for us this year, taking two of the team's biggest wins: here at Swiss Nationals, as well as Stage 17 of the
Tour de France.

Congrats on both wins! Was nice to see the SUI road race going with a proper AI thanks to your team playing the favorites card instead of joining the early break.

Thanks! And thanks for the great reports! I guess splitting the team into two legitimate squads rather than one stacked team really paid off, as both contributed to bringing the race together.

Chtioui Claims Tunisian Time Trial Title
After losing the race by a mere 2 seconds last year, Rafaâ Chtioui has ended our season with an impressive victory in the Tunisian national time trial championships. While he does not have any significant results to speak of aside from this, he has been an incredibly valuable domestique and an important member of our TTT lineup since 2012.
Next up is the renewals process. While it is still early, I can say that there will be no changes at this point in the higher end of the team. All of the strongest riders will be retained until the transfers begin, and then some very important names will be available for trade. Stay tuned until then!
