Who knows? It hasn't been anounced yet. Maybe you do get the top 10. Maybe.

No Way, the pack came through together, and the riders that fell came back, how could I get a top 10 |

Well considering that you are Continental Tour and comparing Pereiro's stats with the other PT captains', you can't really take a Top 10 spot for granted. I'm not saying you have bad team, because you don't. But racing in the ProTour, naturally you are inferior compared to the other teams, just like the other CT teams are when racing on the PT.
Well, maybe not Slipstream, but the rest of us

As I noted before, Slipstream only did well because the races were actually better suited for them (great TT, and a 78 sprinter) than they were for much for many of the PT teams. |

Isn't that part of the game? Isn't the management thing largely picking races that your team will do well at? I sent in requests for 3 PT race wildcards, Qatar, California and Eindhoven. I got all 3. Why? Because my team will do well.
Why is Slipstream dukeing it for a promotion spot? I picked races that suit the team.
Don't send a team to Paris-Nice if all your team does is provide pack fodder.
I didn't expect good pro tour results for any CT teams. Top 10's, overall podiums and stage wins are all plus' in my book. Hopefully those results score points when sponsors are dolling out cash for next season

I wouldn't exactly say they were pack fodder Levi , I dont know of many teams that could do a top 10 or 15 in these type of PT races. Its a good result Deadpool. When the CT competes against the PT climbing wise, the difference is massive. The difference between sprinters are closer matched, and positioning plays a much bigger part. BTW, brilliant results so far Levi.

What happened to the stage? Has Crommy deliberately made us wait in awe for the result? Or has the game crashed or what is the deal of this? Anybody knows? |

He just got dropped. Didn't even notice him, then just looked at a screenshot and saw his name in the group behind the pack

That wasn't even close. I thought i lost. In the end France Televisions take their second straight edition of Paris-Nice. Hopefully it is a sign of things to come for France Televisions. And once again we see carlsberg come up just short.
How close did Virgin come to putting 3 guys in the top ten. And for Deadpool, you beat nearly half the Pro Tour teams.
