At least I can now easily say goodbye to Canecky, when he isn't a national champion. Congrats to Bjartne.

So close with Velits in the ITT to beat his brother.
Now I need to get Peter instead. 
Had hoped that Velits will go into the breakaway in the RR as he could have easily won that in a sprint of a smaller group. |

You know there is a certain Kazakh that could be swapped with the slovakian champion 
They should be at the same price level now I think  |

On one hand, I quite like that the underdogs/domestiques often get to be National Champions, but to regularly have this happen must be somewhat demoralising for teams with big named riders from lesser rider-quantity countries.

It's a nice twist imo, but I've wondered if it might be better in some cases to have 1 rider - 1 team in the smaller ones. But that might give the same results?

Having the biggest favourite for the RR in Slovenia meant it was always going to be hard to win it. At least Zrimsek gave it a good try. Very nice to see Spilak win the time trial, showing his class to beat Brajkovic and Koren. |

Sorry, it was meant as a joke as Gavenda is utterly shit compared to Milka's riders, and I was therefore suggesting a swap, just for the fun of it, (because it would never happen) but I see now that it was a wrong call by me and that it could be interpreted a different way, so I apologize. |

Obviously a joke by Bjartne, so imo no reason to link to the rules I've seen more "suspicious" comments around here, so no need to feel sorry Bjartne.

No need to feel sorry at all, it's just a reminder, but it is sometimes hard to know for other managers if it is a joke or not. And I feel like some managers "missed" the reminder of the pre-transfer rules, so I thought posting it in this active thread might help :-)

Kocjan is one of those riders who are very satisfying to have for 50k wage. Bassicly got me promoted with his fluke win in the Tour of Challenge Isle (still one of my favorite wins behind the Giro win). This year, he got my only stage win in PT, and he's been Slovanian champ twice while riding with us.

Another TT title. I would have preferred a RR or two, but TTs are good too

This just really serves to remind me what nationalities there are in my team. |

Kazakh will be hard for Iglisnki. But if he is in the breakaway.
Might be my last real chance for a NC this year. Not sure if my 2 Spaniards will ride the Spanish race. |
