Tired of waiting for the official ManGame-season to begin? Interested in seeing your Aussies (or Kiwis, or Malaysians, or Brits, Japanese) racing the world's fastest criterium series? Then some of us managers now get the chance to participate at the Bay Classic Series in Australia!
The Idea/ Just like the past two years, we found some sponsors to provide the cycling fans in Australia (and around the world, too) an unofficial start to the 2015 season. No ranking points will be rewarded, no XPs will be gained, no racedays will be used.. it's just for fun! Interested? Then continue to read..
The Race/ The Bay Classic Series is a road cycling race held in and around Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, Australia. It consists of 4 criteriums (mostly flat, one hilly). Points are awarded to the first 10 riders at the finish (12, 10, 8 to 1).
Previous winners:
2013  Chris Sutton
2014 Leigh Howard
Stages 2015:
1  Geelong (Ritchie Boulevard)
2 Geelong (Eastern Park)
3  Portarlington
4 Williamstown
The Teams/ The Bay Classic Series is first and foremost an Australian event. 14 teams (maybe more) in total will participate, consisting of a selection of your team's riders. For 2015, there may also be a Malaysian team and two teams from New Zealand (plus "National Teams" for Japan and/or Great Britain and maybe a mixed Asian) participating. There will be 5 riders per team and now it's your turn..
The Riders/ Each ManGame-manager with an appropiate rider* in his team is allowed to subscribe up to 3 riders** of his ManGame-team. I will then allocate your riders to one of the teams and will update the 2nd post with the "nominees" and team's list, so that you can see if there's still a free slot within the teams.
*The riders have to be:
- from Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia (max 5), Japan (5), Great Britain and/or Ireland (      )
- (other rider's nationalities - Asia preferred - may be accepted at a later point, to fill missing spots: so feel free to nominate them for a waiting list)
- Sprint-stat <= 80
- Hill-stat <= 76
- OVL < 77.00
**Exception:
- Australian or New Zealand registered teams may be accepted to ride in their own colors
- If a non-Aussie/Kiwi team is able to send 5 Australian riders at once, the race organization may consider inviting this "complete" team (replacing an "amateur" team)
The Deadline/ The deadline for subscribing to this event depends on when all Race Planners have been send to SN: there won't be any reports until all MG teams have planned their season. Any questions? Just ask right away!
Your nominees can be posted in this thread! |

No eligible riders, so will have to sit out and watch as a spectator. Still great so see this back, something to help fill the time before the actual season begins. |

Very nice.
No riders for me though, that's a con of being primarily BeNeLux I guess 
Feyenoord(football) and Kelderman fanboy
