I decided upon reading this thread that once i finally got to the first sacking of a manager i would post up my save game, hopefully providing some people who like the transfer season a chance to jump into a different team maybe, or continue with the Tinkoff one that you will currently lead.

Its the 1st of August and the USA ITT champs have just been ridden.

Contador signed for you last year for a low low sum, and he won the TdF this year by 0 seconds over Schleck.
Petrov will be leaving at the end of this year with his slightly slightly modified stats (+1 to mountain and recovery due to his performance in the Giro). He got you 2nd in the Giro.
Ignatiev has finally reached full experience, and with the backup of Kiryenka should provide a very strong one day classics squad.
Rovny and Belkov are both developping into some top class stage racers, with Belkov fit and ready to do the Vuelta along with the back up of Marzoli, Serrano, Contador, Klimov, Dyachenko and Iglinski. It looks to be an exciting time! A top 5 PT position is pretty much secured if you continue as manager of Tinkoff. The budget should hopefully increase next year, enabling you to keep many of your riders for the following year as their wages increase.

A few riders have already been signed, with the aim of getting a couple more italians on the team, as well as another Brit in Geraint Thomas. You have a strong staff with enough trainers to offer the best there is.
