Short Season Update
Welcome to the 2015 season update, we in "The Peleton" will now guide you through the chances that’s been circling around the past months, in one whole overview over this season. The update includes transfers, new teams and all the good stuff will be explained in this article.
Last season was one of a kind and small factors could decide anything, one big of these events can be described over Team Katusha and in a colorfull season, they surprised everyone by being relegated together with Team Europcar. These small factors includes, the season long injury of superstar J. Rodriguez and one black season for A.Kolobnev with no mentionable results in the whole year. Only a small hope was set when D.Moreno won the KOM jersey in the Vuelta and when A. Kristoff won Milano - San Remo, but this was not enough and Katusha got a hard season to prove that they belong in the top.
With Katusha and Europcar going down, no one really questioned who would've won the Pro Continental Tour and newly formed IAM Cycling dominated the tour with several big results and they showed that in they belong to the top with big results in Paris - Nice and the Tour. The last team to get a spot in the World Tour is Cofidis and they have taken everyone by storm in this new season by signing both S. Spilak and C.Riblon.
Breaking News
Now we continue to one of the bigger news and that’s something we've become rather familiar with; bigger organizations and companies becoming interested in an investment in the cycling world and it's the most successful way to showcase new projects. This however is an former investor taking a step sideways into our beloved world of cycling and therefore we look forward to watch Carrefour taking one big project into it.
After an mediocre season for Bretagne Séche Environment , the team looked rather annoyed of all those big chances they didn't take and therefore the sponsor in Bretagne have decided to drop out of the cycling sport, and effective immediately Carrefour have brought their license and reinstated most of its staff and crew.
They have financed a huge amount of money together with Salomon Group , which also will be their cloth sponsor , and for 18 million £ they have showed that they're very serious about this project and here is an overview of the squad rotations coming into this serious for the new team Carrefour - Salomon Group Cycling :

With a huge budget in their back the next transfer window will probably be stronger , but this team looks strong enough to fight for a spot in the World Tour and if the results begins and the investors will be patient we might see a new team in the World Tour in the nearest future.

Hi and welcome to my new story
Last time I tried to make a story I lacked time and it went the wrong way , so I've decided to take a break and go back to editing and then falling over stage editing , and I still need to finish the last bits before all stages are finished for this story.
Meanwhile editing my database I started a career with Bretagne Seche Environment , and I found the saves' first season to be rather entertaining and now that I reached the 2nd season , I would like the opportunity to create a relaxed story that will develop the further we go into it.
So I hope you will sit back, read my story and enjoy it while I definitely will try to take more creative paths if it becomes too relaxed xD

I had some graphical bugs during this and will try to fix this as soon as possible
Tour de San Luis
Stage 1
San Luis - Villa Mercedes - 165 km
Favorites
*** J.J Lobato
** Van Hummel
* Belletti
Roster
Spoiler
E.Sepulveda Leader
A.Fonsesca Sprinter
B.Feillu Free
F.Guillou Free
P. Perichon Team mate
C.Pineau Team mate
After an intense start the big teams didn't allow anyone to form a breakaway , so after 25 km A.Kuznetsov (KAT) slipped through and was alone in the breakaway
The Two sprints were of course both won by Kuznetsov, but Van Hummel took two second places and Lobato took third places
1o km to go and the teams starts the battle for the best position
Movistar in front with Androni and Cannodale just beside them, where is Fonsesca ?
J.J Lobato start the sprint with 1,5 km to go, with Van Hummel at his wheel, Who will win the 1st stage ? Fonsesca is not among the 1st row
Van Hummel held Lobato's wheel and the winner of the two would be the one in the best shape, but Van Hummel completes his dominances and wins ! Fonsesca ends 12th
