I think Waghlon should go For Rahsaahn Bahati next. Not only is he American and semi decent at sprinting but he is black which fits in with his Mads/Mongolian binge

I almost have my team the way I want it, atm i'm filling up, and basically I need 1 or 2 more qualified riders... I don't need 3 qualified riders on each field.. 1 or 2 is enough... Atleast that is my overall tactics... |

Indeed... He won't become a good rider in 2-3 years and even then he won't become one of the best... He will never be anything but a good GT rider, something like Markus Fothen i'll reckon.. |

The issue, like i mentioned earlier is that we all have so much money that it's rather worthless, something that should be up for revival before next season... |

Rather worthless? Ask stemple. I don't think he'd call them worthless.
But yes, of course, revival of all aspects is always needed. |

Yeah well if you want to sell a rider who you don't need and can scramble 2,4mil in ofcourse that is good, so you can buy some strong helpers, but eventhough he has those 2,4mill it's unlikely that he can get something much better than what he lost. |

Btw maybe it still has to do with the whole Abal thing which has pissed me off but does anyone agree with me that having Bonnet, Pardilla, Abal with a clause sucks when u look at some riders on this list?:
Nintendo-Honda
Bos, Backstedt, Fedrigo
Phillips-Hummel
Roche, Niels Scheunemann, Weening
Sony Ericsson
Maes, Granjel Cabrera
Virgin Media
Mestre, Bazayev, Redondo
Warner Brothers
Cretskins, Engels, Van de Walle
Wikipedia
Mazzanti, Hansen
its just that I think perhaps u (as in crommy) should compare them a bit more next time...its fine u give Abal a clause but then do the same with other talents on other teams (only 2 others are Nolf and Van Avermaet) because yes perhaps Abal is at the same level atm as someone like Weening, or Hansen, Mestre etc. but its just that when I look at the 3 riders that were picked in my team and I look at Nintendo and Warner Brothers I real feel that they have been very lucky
basically I wanna know if im the only who feels that other teams have a huge advantage when u look at riders on their minimum clause list? imo these teams have also been unlucky:
Erste
Nolf, Pedraza, Sevilla
Domina Vacanze (they wanted to get rid of him anyway I believe but still its a great rider)
Sanchez Gil
Accumalux-Formex (Ignatiev is a stud and Gil is a great rider)
Ignatiev, Gil, Niemiec
Im not saying its a bad system but just wanted to show that it definately needs some improvement for the next time imo...

It's going to be very exciting to see who ends up with Phinney.

Don't be so sure. A rider like him might do decently on the CT already this season, I mean, he's already better than Ivan Rovny was last season and he won TDU. And on top of that he WILL be an awesome rider in the future.
