Top Division :) CaliMist

Written by California Mist at 03:00 4/6-2013

  After almost 4 seasons, the small team from the west coast of the USA has finally made it to the pinnacle of OCM, the top division, despite the conspiracy against us (see previous press release).
  
  The 8th place by Roels yesterday in Senno - Liozno made it happen, and we couldn't be happier. Its well known that we will losse a lot of points in the next week (result of FonW tour last season), however feel we can now safely say we belong. Ok we may not be the best, but were getting there slowly. The only disappointment is Roels is 10 points short of being Belgium national champion.
  
  A lot of young riders will be leaving us in the next 2 weeks and being replaced by experienced sprinters. This should enable us to push on during season 25 and secure our place here. Also the money will be spent on training young hiller De Nooy who we hope in the future will bring an extra dynamic to our sprint team.
  
  But before any of that, were off to celebrate

  Thanks, im hoping to have De Nooy maxxed in hills and flatroad very early next season, Then will move onto sprint, and finally technique. Just hoping for a high max AV

Eriknogwat at 16:04 11/6-2013
  I know the loss of point in FoW . Roels beat me there in every sprint :(.
  I still really hope de Nooy maxes high.
  
  good luck with going back to top division.

  No, after my first season in the game, I ended up in Zyte. Couldn't get any top 9's at all as no money and not good enough team, so had to wait nearly a whole season to drop back down. Then started from the bottom again. Could have moved past Div 5 about 30 days before the tour if Id have chosen to, but just rested riders ready for it ;)

jmtoler at 02:10 10/6-2013
  Did you intentionally drop down to Division 5 before?

jmtoler at 18:03 5/6-2013
  nice

California Mist at 17:55 5/6-2013
  think 370 from Fon W, but in all of Roels TF period around the tour was 550 points

jmtoler at 17:38 5/6-2013
  how many points did you get from FoW last year? must have been a ton.

California Mist at 15:22 4/6-2013
  and out of it already... it was nice for a few hours.
