San Sebastian is already on Saturday. While most of the race looks very much identical to last year's, the start is different. Not much design work, but I am not sure I can do it, so I would prefer it if somebody else volunteers. Speaking of volunteers, has anybody offered to do Portugal yet? Prefer...

The topic is more general. All good classics in the game are developed not bought. I think it is reasonable to adapt the maximal skills for some riders. Still, training should promise better riders.

If you offer two races a day, doing two that need similar teams is maybe not the best idea. Would you do two sprint races or a mountain race and a hilly race with an uphill finish the same day? On the other side, for TT teams it must annoying. There are few one-day TT races and than you are not able...

Keep in mind the FPC can only rule on the evidenced given. Hinting there is more without evidence will not strengthen your case.

In case we decide to keep all tours, go a bit more into the editions. There is not so much difference between Pologne and Burgos in team strength, so having the same number of editions is fine. This is more a morning/afternoon thing. As it stands now, the morning misses the option to ride a WT race....

I think we are overdoing it this time. Usually I am for more real tours, but this time it is a bit much. Do we have enough teams for a cat 5 race parallel to three tours? On 22. and 23. we have 9 tour editions in parallel. I just do not think we have the numbers for it without giving out massive amo...

Nachdem 9 Prozent der Männer davon betroffen sind, ist das sicher nicht der einzige Fall im Spiel. Wäre eigentlich Grund genug die Farben zu ändern.

Off-topic: Es ist eigentlich absurd, dass unsere Ampeln immer noch rot-grün sind.

🇳🇿 Allan Wilson - In his prime and ready to go. Clear leader of the team and going the support and the manager's skill will be up to it. 🇱🇹 Jonas Mockus - Maybe the last big job he has to do. Super-domestique. 🇪🇪 Kaljo Pork - Aged very well and already a great classics at 25. Will be crucial against...

I will be here. While it is only one change from the Giro team, good training of the young guys make it much better (and more expensive). Lineup will follow.

If we do not want fantasy tours during the real reason, there would be the option to ride this 2.2 tour in Poland instead (https://dookolamazowsza.pl/en/). While there are no profiles available yet, in-game this should be a pure sprinter's tour. There are four stages, starting on 23.07. I believe ri...

When I think back (long-term memory still working), I was glad to have both. I learned so much more riding against experienced teams than in field 2 races. And looking at participation, we will get splits again, just not with parallel tours.

Calendar-wise, everything has already been said. As the two main tours are non-overlapping now, there is little to discuss. Time-wise, I fear you are overdoing it a bit. We used to have 2+2 in the past. Even if we now have more teams, 5 editions for specialized tours look a bit much. In the Giro, we...

How is the technical situation? Would it be an easy "just add another processor", or is there something limiting parallelization? I do think you get enough money for a hardware update if you ask for it.

Thanks for opening the case. I think there are no excuses for this, and I gave him the chance to apologize.

1 🇳🇿 Allan Wilson: optimistic GC rider; while the long TT suits him, the lack of team and reg will probably cost him 2 🇱🇹 Jonas Mockus: one man support cast for Allan in the high mountains, maybe goes for stage later in the Giro, most experienced rider at 31 3 🇮🇪 John Bernal: classics sprinter, will...

A late update with some changes in the team. Most importantly, there was a bigger team rebuilt than initially intended to keep manager motivation up. Missing more races makes bringing very expensive teams for the tour win infeasible in the long run. This cost me one or two tour wins last month. So t...

I would only touch div size if you can show promotion and relegation correctly. Otherwise, the div you are in the next month feels just random. For me, adding another div would be preferable, but if you want to change size, do it one team per div at a time. About the active teams in the rookies divi...

I plan to be here as well. Team news follows later, but it can be fried by Hansa or other strong climber teams that know what they are doing.

We could do a salary cap for teams under 8 riders, aiming to force them to have a sustainable team. Like first rider: max. 145000 salary 2 riders: max. 175000 3 riders: max. 205000 4 riders: max. 235000 5 riders: max. 265000 6 riders: max. 195000 7 riders: max. 325000 8 riders: max. 355000 So even i...

This is a tricky question. I guess many teams are not unhappy in field 2 and will get more points and money there.
