Just got my first (of many, hopefully) Yates 1-2. 
Tour of the Battenkill, Adam attacked on the penultimate climb about 8km from the end, nobody could catch him, Simon wins the sprint in the bunch 
They almost always have the same daily form as well. And, in the Tour de Taiwan, they finished 3rd and 4th, separated by four seconds.
Weird identical twin shit. 
Nice, only managed a Yates 3-4, maybe that's what I get for not picking Bibby in the end 
No Bibby
I'm trying to keep Bibby and the Yates' in separate teams. It's working at the moment, Bibby is 13th in the Conti rankings ( ), well ahead of the twins. We're the second best CT team in the CQ rankings behind Jamis, so it's going pretty well. And all without a sprinter. |

@Brewers
Are you playing with Madison + Yates brothers or just a custom team? Couldn't really figure that out, I thought Madison, but then you said you haven't got a sprinter, and Madison has 2(massively overrated ) sprinters in the Daily DB

I'm playing with Madison, yes. I edited the stats to make them more realistic so Holohan isn't a sprinter, he's an attacking punchy rider with a decent kick (69HIL, 68SP). Downing is 72SP but he's only targeting the Tour Series, so hasn't been much use so far.
About the stats, I don't know why they haven't been changed, I thought enough people had said in the Stat Discussion Thread but apparently not. I've changed all of the British riders stats myself, not too much work. |

Ah, okay then
Yeah, it was a bit of a disappointment for me as well, my suggestions weren't included either.
But it's okay, I just did a load of edits myself
Spoiler Downing isn't worth 72 sprint either

Well, given his age and the fact that he starts declining instantly, I think he is. He's no slouch, only Clancy, Briggs and Opie can really beat him in the domestic sprints. Then again, Russell got put down to 69 or something ridiculous, so who knows!
Anyway, wrong thread |

Yup, wrong thread.
Hmm, lets do first British GT winner vs first Italian GT winner. Oh wait.
I must say that I really like the added U23 races btw. Every talented Italian or Swiss U23 rider will be seen in action at least a few times in the season, which makes it easier to choose to sign a rider, without having to scout him to be certain.
(Though there seem to be a more hidden talents, with low start stats, and 'overhyped' talents, good results, low limits, so it's harder some way )

Believe me Bibby is short listed, was a bit naughty and added Craddock and Ewan which makes my team a bit OP but will deffo let one of the last 2 go at the end of this year, both on 1 years |

2. Nibali

Yay! Do I get a prize now?
And Sagan seems to do well in more cases in GTs, especially routes with a lot of hilly stages, so I just went for him

Sagan was actually in the lead from stage 3 until stage 20 to Tre Cime!! He lost it briefly in the middle but he kept winning more time on the hilly stages. Really weird. The winner was Van Den Broeck by the way. Kind of shatters the realism. Especially when I just got beaten by Acevedo in the Tour Series!  |
