A rising star

Written by Mandragora at 17:22 22/7-2013

  Season 25 has finally seen Mandragora quite settled in Division 5. Since the 23rd season we have been expecting it's famous star, Amets Camardiel, to retire. But he keeps helping his team and nobody can predict when he will say goodbye to the bike. Birger Skogstad, the Norwegian star of Mandragora - and the Norse national team, was expected to become the new star once Amets retired, but he has managed to do so even before that moment arrives. Since the begining of his career in the Spanish team, Birger has been seen working closely and heavily relying on Amet's experience. That hasn't changed and amazingly, one that once was the leading star has gladly accepted a new supporting role for the new team leader. The relationship between these two riders is someting extrarordinary and should give pause to other riders more prone to bickering and backstabbing.
  Now, in this 25th season, Mandragora has a new promising rising star, Jax Meléndez. This young rider with fantastic potential is starting to look like the future replacement of both Birger and Amets. Only time will show if this prediction will come true, but for now the prospects for the future of Mandragora look bright when once they looked beyond grim.
  Let's see what the next 60 days of competition brings!

  I know I should sell all my old crappy riders... But I'm trying to see how far I can go like this... I'm in no rush to win anything, and I kind of have gotten attached to their silly names...
  
  In all seriousness, I've already planned to sell them. I have a plan for it, not the time to do it in the way I want right now, but I'll. For now (most of) them still play a role in the team (yeah, i'm su

  I agree with Finx,.
  
  I would get rid of 9 riders and to 12. Or get down to the min rider number of 9.
  
  Figure on getting between 35 and 40k per rider you would have 315 to 360k by selling 9 or between 420 and 480k for selling 12
  
  With what you have on hand you would have over 500k.
  That my friend will buy you a great team and get you our of div 5 real quick. Good luck.

  Nice big team still but you will have to say goodbye quickly. Your starting team gets outdated
