NRS 2018 | Back from dead to race the NRS

NRS 2018 | Back from dead to race the NRS


Database(s) | tsmoha's NRS DB 2018 Update
Difficulty | Extreme
Mode | Single-Race Mode


Info | The NRS story goes into it's sixth season! We will follow the timeline and move on to the 2018 campaign, while our focus will now turn to a specific rider (who will be revealed soon). Of course we will cover the whole NRS season though. Opposing to the previous couple of seasons, I won't go for a 100% real schedule and startlists. This way, we can have a bigger calendar.

Some may know that I started running this story with PCM12 and continued with PCM13. I'll provide some relevant links here and then.

TEAM INTRODUCTION 2016


i.imgur.com/HBGIW9a.jpg

i.imgur.com/zduaIqJ.jpg


After finishing last year's National Road Series as 2nd in both the individual (Timothy Roe) and team's rankings, Team Budget Forklifts is back for more this year! With Timmy leaving our team to join Drapac, we're proud to announce a roster, that we feel it should be capable of pulling us some great results. Of course Jack Bobridge has to be named our biggest signing. The former World Tour-rider wants to focus on the Olympic Games and we're happy to give him this opportunity.

In 2012 we won our last NRS title with Luke Davison and we're happy to announce his comeback now. Together with Scott Sunderland, he should build a true force for sprint decisions. Let's not forget to mention Sam Witmitz, who may once again target the Tour of Taihu Lake later in the year and appear as one of our most important keys to any bunch sprint success.

Jack Anderson is another "comebacker" for Budget, as he left Drapac after one year. Last year's winner of the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road and Adelaide Tour will both aim for the NRS and the Queensland Team Series. Brendan Canty should strengthen our climbing core and lead us in a few UCI races. He also targets to defend his Victorian Road Series title from last season.

Sam Horgan stays with the team and will be our main man for the New Zealand North and South Island team series. He's the defending champion of the Calder Stewart Elite Series and will do his best to repeat this success.

Will Jack Bobridge break Avanti's dominance this year?

Won't wish you good luck, as you don't need it that much. I will say: have fun and thank you in advance for an amazing story Wink

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! That's always nice to read when coming back from a longer break of writing. So thank you very much.

Here's the schedule for Team Budget (and the whole story/season). Will update the first few posts with links/results then. Always worth a look during the season Wink With quite a few different series/events to be held here, I decided to bring the reports in a specific order (as to be seen in this calendar):

lifemoreinteresting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/URAB0463EliteSeriesMainImage.150407-1-600x366.jpg
We're kicking off the season in South Australia, where the Bowden Elite Team Series will bring some early summer action. Some of Australia's best cyclists will participate, come and see professionals like Alex Edmondson, Miles Scotson, Damien Howson, Timothy Roe or Scott Sunderland!

This year’s series will feature 12 teams competing over 8 exhilarating rounds, including opening kermesse race in North Adelaide, a criterium on a new circuit at Port Adelaide and criteriums at Victoria Park, Adelaide.

For each round, points are rewarded as follows:

PlaceIndividuals
1st12
2nd10
3rd8
4th7
5th6
6th5
7th4
8th3
9th2
10th1


Round 1 - Bowden Kermesse
Round 2 - Victoria Park Criterium(short course)
Round 3 - Victoria Park Criterium (long course)
Round 4 - Port Adelaide Criterium
Round 5 - Bowden Kermesse
Round 6 - Victoria Park Criterium (short course)
Round 7 - Victoria Park Criterium (long course)
Round 8 - Port Adelaide Criterium

Favorites
With six rather flat criteriums, we should rate the sprinters as the top-favorites for the overall victory. Plenty of talent here: up and coming Alexander Edmondson, Luke Davison and Miles Scotson (all riding for Cervelo) make for a super strong team, which also features Harry Carpenter or Timothy Roe!

Other well known names like Scott Sunderland (ISC Goodfrey), Scott Law (Bowden), Damien Howson (McNeill) and Chris Joongeward/Cameron Bayly (Whippets Seer) should be amongst the best, too. Team Budget Forkifts will certainly follow Sunderland and Davison with interest - we will focus on Sunderland here.

Good luck in the first race of the season Smile

Thanks! It's the first time since like three or four years that I actually control a team, so I'm a little bit excited to be honest. It's kinda like playing PCM for the first time, as I only did "reporter style" the past years.

By the way, if there are any questions regarding those little races/series in the story, fire away. I'm not sure, if it's understandable everytime, since I'm probably much deeper into the whole Aussie scene than most of you Wink
