Pierre isn't that good as Sébastien, but he is trying hard, still there is a good chance to last around 20. place in Continental, that's not bad 
Yep, thats me down here...

 Giro dell'Appennino
With just 2 races left this season the team wanted to end on a high note.
Early on a breakaway of 14 riders formed. The peloton tryed to catch them back, but after a while gave up, hoping to get them in the end.
80 km left: The breakaway had 4 minutes on the peloton that started to slowly increase their speed.
40 km left: With just a little over 2 minutes the peloton closed the gap quickly. It's going to be an interesting final. Can Pache keep up with the best today?
20 km left: The peloton nearly caught up to the breakaway. And it's now an even field again. Tissot keeps up with the high pace, but it's demanding today in such heat.
15 km left: The attacks start now, Tissot is trying to follow them.
6 km to the line: Pache, Hofstetter and Bierli all are still in this.
3 km to go: All three riders are up front, looks like it's going to be a sprint finish...
1 km left: Bierli and Hofstetter launch their sprint. They are a little crammed in, but manage to get to the front.
They can't win today, but they finish as 5th and 7th. A very good result for both of them. They sure showed what they've got today!

Pache will get there I'm sure, he's currently not nearly as good as Reichenbach, but he'll get there 
We'll see if Tissot will be in the top 20, but I think they will |

Coppa Placci
The final race of the season. Team Tissot was eager to once again show that they are ready for Continental Pro next year.
As usual a breakaway formed and the peloton started chasing. With 75 km left they were 4 minutes ahead. Nothing the peloton wouldn't make up in the last part of the race.
30 km to go: the two big hills of the day are left. With the peloton chasing 2 minuts behind the breakaway, it still was anybodys race. Tissot looked good so far, but soon it all would be descided. Will Tissot have the legs to go all the way on their final race?
20 km left: The pace is very high, and it is Nibali (AST) who attacks! He manages to ride away, with everybody chasing. Pache and Bierli manage to barely hold on the the main chasing group, but there's still the second climb ahead. It's not looking too good for them today.
10 km left: Pache and Bierli are out of it today. They just couldn't keep up with that high pace, and Nibali (AST) takes the win today.

yey, already end of season, will be Sébastien Reichenbach still n.1 for the upcoming one?
Pro Continental will be tough, any new riders will come to help or no budget for them?
GL to hold on Pro Conti with even better results
should you post as how new squad look like before new season come?
Edit: sorry for too many questions
Still trying to persuade friend to buy a 1 copy together, I heard that it can be activated 5 times (at least that non-steam one)

12th November 2013
BREAKING NEWS
Tissot Swiss Cycling Project managed to promote to the Continental Pro Tour.
Finishing as 16th Team of the Continental Pro Teams it was a close call in the end. We talked to the Team Manager, A. Delponte.
"It was a closer call than we would have liked. We are happy with our current team, and for next season we managed to sign the best young and promising riders from Switzerland. We also managed to get a second sponsor that will be revealed at the team presentation on 3rd Janaury 2014. Together with the second sponsor we managed to increase our fundings to sign new and more talented riders.
We had a long talk with our current sponsors, our riders and our supporting team. The changes will will undergo for the upcoming season are - in our view a necessity if we want to be competitive with the other Conti Pro teams.
As you might know our ultimate goal will be to become the best Swiss Cycling Team and to present the third swiss Tour winner since Kübler and Koblet. And I am sure we will be able to make that dream come true."
It will be interesting to see what new talents the team got and, maybe even more importantly who will become the new co sponsor of the team.
Guess we will have to wait until january to find that out... |

Thanks guys for your support during the first season. I will continue with this story, but I've descided that I will only report on the important races (WT and Sponsor goals). All other races will be simulated and I will only post the reults. It's just quicker that way ).
@Pavuk: I'll soon release the 2014 squad, still have to do the new season maillot. Will probably post that tomorrow as I'm off bbq-ing now |

3rd January 2014
2014 Team Presentation
Welcome to the 2014 Tissot Team presentation.
Before we present our this years riders, we wanted to take the time and present our new co sponsor and some changes in the team:
The Team will be called Tissot Swiss Cycling.
Our new Co-Sonsor Swiss International Airlines gave us the opportunity to drastically increase our squad.
However, it was their wish that we would remove the clause that we would only accept swiss riders. We talked long and hard about it and came to the concense that if we wanted to become a competitive World Tour team we would have alter that clause. So from this season on we will allow foreign riders. However, 75% of the riders must still be swiss.
Here's our 2014 team

And this is our season calendar and the sponsors goals for 2014[/url] |
