What does $1,500,000 buy nowadays

Written by Team Red Gold Green at 00:50 6/4-2013

  Team Red Gold Green returns to the sport, starting out again after some seasons away.
  
  With a total of $1,500,000 to spend, TRGG was unable to secure a top, top rider to be a world beater on his own.
  
  Instead TRGG has assembled a roster of 22 experienced cyclists with an average age of 28.
  
  With this format, the responsibilities of team leader will be spread out in flat sprints (Uitsky), hilly sprints (Buyse), cobbles (de Wolf and Ghio) and time trials (Yushua).
  
  Having left the sport last time from the second division, TRGG has set an ambitious target of reaching the top division in three seasons, with the target of Division 3 by the end of season 24.
  
  The team fully knows that this is a team in evolution, and the roster will not be looking the same for long.
  
  Lets see what $1,500,000 buys nowadays.

  Stroopwafel - Thanks for the well wishes. Buyse has been domestique for now but when the prolife suits him more, he will get a chance to lead!

  Good luck and have fun! Good to see Buyse might get a chance to shine once in a while :).

  Britcycles - of course I have some good riders - such as de Wolf, Huguet and Èernák ;)

  you have some good riders now, I wouldn't expect it to completely fail, but training is always fun to do!

  Super Velo - you are right that I might have gone down the wrong route. It's just that too many of my previous talents prematurely maxed.
  
  So I'm trying out the solid-team-but-no-superstar method for now. Hoping that I'll podium enough times to go up the rankings.
  
  Maybe it'll go completely wrong, but I'll have fun trying... If I earn enough, I'll invest in that big talent next!

  Why do you need t have so many riders? Just wondering. Maybe use some of that 1.5 mil to train a young rider or two?
