You put a lot of pressure on my team with statements like "challengers for title of best new team" but it also shows i didn´t do too bad in the transfer season.
For Wegmann and Kessler i hope to have a good mix of separate races, line-ups for important races will contain both of them. Let´s see what the new AI does with my team

Next six teams are up - the lower placed ProConti's from last year and two of the highest rated Conti's.
Gustav: I thought the Portuguese league was an Premier League / La Liga feeder division? I guess your boys need the extra motivation!
Yeah you're kinda right. We'll be sure to use that motivation for this season

Last sections are up in my preview, eager to see how it matches up with ember's ideas. I can see my rankings (with a couple of exceptions) are not too disimilar to Heine's attempt!
It's all very much guesswork, race planning and luck will play a massive part no doubt.
I wouldn't read anything into the Bimbo Nutella or Unicredit omissions, other than I understand they have yet to hand in some of their required files.

Ranking wise it sounds about right for my team. I would be psyched for a top 20 and if I'm around 23 that would be pleasing enough.

Unfortunately I think your predictions is correct to set me around the 25th. Although I prefered Heine`s 16th.
Therefore I don`t have the big star in the hard stages I think. So everything higher than 20th would be a sensation and higher than 25th would be fine for me. Lower than 25th would be a disappointing season.
Next season I won`t make the same mistakes again and will have more money for good riders. |

Everyone seems to forget Yoshimitsu Hiratsuka as a Hot Prospect. He has 6 Potential just like Shikai, and is a 68/67 Mountain/hill rider as well as 70 Recovery. But its fine by me that he went under the radar in the transfer season. 
I liked your view on my team, this season, we wont have too much success, but I still hope you're wrong about Meiji finishing 29th.

@Smowz Do want to change my position from 26th now, after seeing what your past Colombian climbers are doing for my team?

I will be happy wit 17th, especially if Alarcon can make a couple of the goals we have. On the other hand, I believe it will be very tight between 8th and 20th (something like that), so I could also do worse, or better. Will for sure be an exciting season! |

I'm happy to see that both you and Ember fancy my chances to end inside top 10 though I agree that the lack of sprinters might cost me a higher place. Hopefully will that department be strengthened next season.

I'd be happy to finish around 10th though it will be tough.
Much depends on how much PCM'11 fancies the better sprinters. |
