Your team participated in Ajaccio - Bastia. Costel Onut finished 4 th as your best rider. You earned 10.000 $.
Costel Onut had good legs during the race. Paul Backmann was already injured when the race started. Both canteens and energy bars were used during the race. Nick Bouwens had an off day. Mikkel Tyllesen had an off day. 8:05
the team needs in the next 38 days approximately 900 points to qualify for Germany tour but even with two climbing squads (after future trades/deals), which is not practical. due to DP losses this week there will likely be no climbing races until day 40 or so. this leaves 4 races in which to score 900 points (less whatever magic the TT riders have in haute normandie). unlikely, but the team only needs 130 points or so to enter tour de valpo around the same time. wish us luck.

i definitely enjoyed having 6 TTs entering tours in the past. i forget which tour it was, but i had most of them place in the TT stages and ended up with multiple top 9 GC as a result. this was many seasons ago, but tour TTs are much easier than stage races
Jon, my jobbers and 2nd string guys never go in climbing breakaways. Only cobble and hills where I have had descent luck over the years. last season one of my 2nd string TTs got a win on a cobble BA. lol
I would like to go in to a tour. I can get some points in the TT. The last tour I was in my team was able to get 4th 6th and 8th in the opening prologue which was actually more points than the winner got. Plus I have a climber TT and a couple hill TTs. So who knows, maybe a breakaway would work. lol
or you can do both and use tour de valpo to gain points and go to div1 just before germny tour like i am trying to do ;)
if your jobbers/BA squad needs a race be sure to pick climbing ones LOL
Congrats and good luck on the tours. My team dropped back to div 2. lol
BTW... How long do you think it will be until this team gets turned in to a completely new one? Inquiring minds want to know what the Trade Masters future plans are. lol
good luck :D
