Division 1: The fight against relegation

[Robyklebt]

And you think to get my vote it's a good idea to call me crazy?
Insult the charming ape, grrrrrrrrrr.... not selling Matthew, grrrrrr.... Don't like you anymore.

[Bear]

Ok. It's up to you. I still like Bearclaws.

[Robyklebt]

I hate everybody. But OL more than the rest.

Plouay, the celestial Ape gets second place, and... 1 point behind Bearclaw, 5 or so behind OL. 25 in front of Neutrogena.

Bearclaw will score points in ENECO, so get some advantage back. BUT, OL is on holidays, no riding, yeah. So the fight is on, Neutro vs Apes. Had already asked the Joggeli Rapper to compose an anti-Neutro rap, (norwegian failure and Buena noche Alejandro Noche), the Apes fully motivated to beat those over medicated beasts. Then, what does the ape see? OL starting at 22! Ok. Call ZL per skype, tell him. DON'T LET CHELLIS WIN, he's dangerous!!!!!!!!!!
This morning, results. Chellis won. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh, and now 800 points in front that the ape won't get. So the great Neutro-Ape fight (Sebastian Saust runter) seems to be only for place 21... grrr.

But well, Wookie 300 points in front...who knows... but not very confident. If OL just had done the right thing and not ridden yesterday. Bastard. ALLEZ L'OM!!! BASILE BOLI!!!!

Anyway. I decided that some of you guys really need to sell your leaders, if you don't in May 2011 you won't be competitive, you need money NOW! Sell Bearclaw, LIndelöf, Escobar, Merzagora, Vencho and Coulieu!!!!!

[Buhmann]

I´m still have a relative nice placement in div 1. But i really think i will relegate. Only few races and at the classics only bad results.

[Robyklebt]

Sounds nice... but I doubt I will manage to make the necessary 1100 points to catch you? it's all cat 1, with only Veneto (for me) until the end of the month... Even if I somehow win Veneto (good idea, I have a plan already, winning, the problem is just that that I can't decide if Feng or Wassissi should win) that's not 1100 points...

No, unless you sell something, you will stay in D1. A shame. Maybe you sell Coulieu if I admit that Brécelle is still alive?

[Luna]

I won't sell one of the Escobars. Ruben maybe, but only early next month. But well possible that any other rider(s) will leave the team and take some points away.

[Wookie]

I sold already Agge Ostberg. That should be enough

[Buhmann]

The only rider i would sell is Kartoffelsalat. But i suspect that he has to ride the vuelta...My team is a desaster. I ´m on the brink a financial ruin. After the vuelta i have to change a lot. So i think if not this saison, next saison i´ll relegate.

[Bear]

You need a mentor or financial manager?

[Robyklebt]

Will be to late for me

But well, should manage to stay in D2 in september, think I made enough points in August, so october D2 as well (ok, I'm hoping a bit to get back to D1, but withtout the Vuelta will be hard..) and that means very likely the october classics in group 1. Which is what is really important....

But don't see your team as a disaster. On the contrary.

Small yes, 10 riders, but it's a climbers team, Coulieu+Krajak, Feet a good third man, with Carracho, Saucé good 60-80, I'd like them with a little bit more reg, (well only Carracho) but still good. So for a climber team those 5 IMO are very good. Almost perfect. Grummel, Tajk, good. Martini young, good. Plus Kartoffel who is old and has horrible flat skill... but costs nothing for 78 sprint... for a small tour or a GT still fairly good, brings some money... (but ok, paying august salary for september skills is a bit bad..) Mayonadez no hill thing not perfect, 83 flat not really all that much, but cheap... Actually what you really need is a second Mayonadez to be able to ride the one day races without Krajak or Coulieu.... for the rest? It's a climbers team, and it's a good climbers team. Expensive? Yes... but that's what climbers team are.

What hurt you is the size... so you can't really earn much money in one day races now... but who cares, you have the chance to win the Vuelta (I guess) care about finances later.

[Buhmann]

Maybe...but let me try one last time by myself!

[Bear]

For a climbers team it is not even that expensive. Coulieu with 94k is very cheap and the 60-80s are only 50k. I will start the Vuelta with 540k. So you don't get a problem at all.

[Buhmann]

Biut i have a problem now. One climber has to ride...After the vuelta Krajak must go. And i have to buy cheap, youg riders...

Next saison i start with 10 point sor something like that...i have to win the Vuelta

[Lizard]

Then go win the Vuelta. Perfect terrain for your team.

[Bear]

I will try to avoid that.

[Luna]

Then you will be responsible for Radler's ruin. How brutal.

[Bear]

It would be a great pleasure for me.

[auxilium torino]

we still alive!

[Lizard]

Hey, I´m Div 1, yeah! But wait. I´ll be on vacation this month, so I´ll lose chances for points due to tours I can´t ride. So I´ll join the relegation fight this month I guess. Who joins?

[Aixteam]

Me me ! I'm ready

[Lizard]

Okay, so this is going to be interesting. I have now a bit more than 1500 points and one week full of races with chances. But afterwards probably no time for racing at all. So let´s see if this is going to be enough since the Vuelta is ridden right now.

[olmania]

Div2 for me at the end of September.
I won't have time to ride a lot, and if I can, only one day race (I'm bad on those races).

[Lizard]

So, tomorrow holidays ahead. 10 Days probably no Lizard races, ~1600 points in front of the relegation. Should be enough, maybe Franco Belge can be ridden for me aswell. Let´s see, I´m looking forward to a hard fight for Division 1 in October probably.

[Robyklebt]

Back in the fight! After visiting the sausage divisions came to the conclusion that fighting against relegation in D1 is more fun, so came up again immediately to fight again.

SELL RIDERS WITH LOTS OF POINTS EVERYBODY!

[team fl]

I can, but it doesn't help you much...

Still dream I can complain here once in the future (far away)
