Well, but when there is no choice...
The race early this month, Trofeo Presa Allende, was a c4f off season classic, so can't really be used as Pavés de Noël.
Solution was to ask Takashi for some designs

I still have a bone to pick with that lazy bastard anyway...

for Pavés de Noel, after checking the races since 2018, I decided this one is ok, it's better for pavés riders than the races offered in 2018/2020/2021/2022. so maybe it was never meant to be a pure pavés race. that's one reason, but the main reason is I couldn't find any race besides this one. Was...

What is this Pavés de Noel? That's no pavé race, that's a race with some pavé. Why not take a race like that Mexican one from 8 December for that? The Pavés de Noel should be something special, but not this...

Haven't read all posts here, just want to add my biggest issue with the current sprint system: It's an own mini game after a race, that has its own rules. Of course, you can have little things adjusted like energy loss, ass covering, influence of flat, following rules when the rider your following s...

I would really like to have my nationality back. Just give the driver a random female first name. That would be fine with me. I hope Gipfel/Alk can do that in the database. we noticed a problem with surnames of some countries that are specific to the sex of a person which i wasnt aware of when i co...

First things first: Thanks Schnuggeritos for your thoughts. Always interesting to discuss this kind of stuff with the community. I am getting a bit theoretical here: The goal of a penatly is prevention and retribution . Prevention: - The penalty should lead to a change of behaviour towards abiding t...

I am still missing a real pavé race in November. Not a race with some pavé or a hilly race with pavé, a real pavé race for pavé specialists.

Well still I feel it's imbalanced. One person says something inappropriate one time, but others bully & harass certain players over months and years and are not fined at all. Just a thought... I think the temporary ban is appropriate. The penalty, at least the amount, not so much. But in the end, i...

I think I can't come up with a "proper" points system, so any ideas are welcome. if I weigh in the number of teams per race, it favors the teams rding in big fields, because for example in a climbing race Murdobek would win in a 10 or 20 teams field anyway, so he just get his points buffed. As it d...

Do you weigh in the number of teams per race as well? Much easier to have three riders in top 20 with only 5 teams than with 20 teams, f.e. And as it is head to head but not necessarily in the same group, I think that could be a distortion of competition. Of course it is also important which teams y...

Hi everybody. Team FL is looking for a sitter for

Tour des Pavés 15h on Friday, 23 October 2025

If you have time and want to secure white, fight for the GC and the stage win and you think you're capable of handling the antics of Team FL riders, a PM would be appreciated. Thanks!

3 stages down, 2 more to come. And everything looks like Alan Gallyamov (SouthWestPackers) will win it. Although his advantage after stage 1 has almost been cut in half, he's still confortably sitting around 4 minutes in front of Lorenzo Bianchi (Wolfpack Cycling) and 4:30 in front of Jon Cox (Gipfe...

You've just posted here . Anyway, correcte YOUR name

Although Team FL will have hardly opportunities to pay attention, 'tis the time of the year again: Pavé time! Time for the Tour des Pavés, the start of the offseason.

As exciting as last time.

Furious Fürst and Adieu Alex! While the Legend of Hugo Marxer is still waiting for Part VII, other stuff happened at Team FL. First things first: The Legend of Hugo Marxer will continue. But it's a marathon, not a sprint. At least the waiting for Part VII it seems. Anyway, Team FL has other excitin...

No frust for the Fürst at Lombardia. After winning Gran Piemonte, he doubles down in autumn with Lombardia. It seems the firing of Alex has released his full potential. Maybe Alex was the fallen leave that was needed for the Classica delle foglie morte? Anyway, nice race at 18h. The Panda Express we...

Ha! And there it is, the autumn classics win for Team FL. The Fürst was the luckiest in the final sprint at Gran Piemonte. With this victory, he follows the footsteps for Team FL cult rider and TD Hugo Marxer (btw. what's going on there? Will the legend continue?!).

The WC is not an autumn classic. It is the WC. Totally different topic. Could have been an own thread. But wasn't important enough I guess.

Fun fact: Did you know that WC is also the abbreviation for Water Closet?
