United Kingdom NT
« on: June 26, 2019, 09:21:31 PM »
Dear and faithful friends of the British Empire,

I write to summon you tomorrow to the polls to decide the manager of our NT. On this path we have met many kind people who have helped us, and also many horrible people who are now dead, but from all this we have learned an important lesson: the honor of the United Kingdom must prevail. I mean, we can not allow the French to ever win us. That's why I ask for your vote to continue kicking French asses until we run out of shoes. It will not be necessary to focus too much on other objectives (Spain dies alone, we already know, Switzerland is still looking for how to get out of its country, Denmark ... where is Denmark?), We know what we want and we know how to get it.

Thank you all. I will not disappoint you.

VOTE FOR SAULSALINASTEAM

Stage 1 Season 3

Country: Italia
Arrival: Offida

Stage type: Hills
Kms: 181
Characteristics: Hilly 100%
Past in CFF: None
Past in real life: 6th Stage 2012 Tirreno, won by Purito Rodríguez (Katusha)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5cNR_wBuFc

Selection:

Ali Carter 21 yo, Wiggo Pupils (home grown rider), 2nd time with NT
Liam Derby 21 yo, Makateam (home grown rider) youth squad, 2nd time with NT
George Pernom 21 yo, CojoNudos (Wiggo Pupils home grown), 2nd time with NT
David Romney 21 yo, LaGuardia (CC Porco Jones home grown), 3rd time with NT
Nobby Coy 21 yo, CC Porco Jones (home grown rider ), 1st time with NT
Steve Furey 21 yo, Team Elrosportu (TeamMB home grown), 1st time with NT
Arthur Kennedy 21 yo, OX (SaulSalinasTeam home grown), 2nd time with NT
Brian Stevens 21 yo, Marcatone_Due (SaulSalinasTeam home grown), 1st time with NT
Thomas Putnam 21 yo, Catalonia_Team (home grown rider), 2nd time with NT

Hilly stage starting and finishing in Offida, Purito Rodriguez won it in the 2012 Tirreno to Nibali and Di Luca.
It's probably our worst speciality, last season GB was out of the points just on the hilly stage and the plain with cobblestone.
We don't have DT riders and only Carter, our leader, has the hills icon (bronze of course).
We will do our best and we don't dismiss the possibility of gettings some points, even if we are realistics it will be really hard to be among the top20.

Even my idea it to select at least one 19yo rider each week this time as there are already 3 rookies and there still are very few 19yo british riders it won't be the case.

Results GB race season 3

Percentages:
Hills 48
Downhill 14
Aggressiveness 14
Stamina 12
Technique 7
TW 3
Exp 2

Result:

Ali Carter 20th (10 points)
Arthur Kennedy 77th
Brian Stevens 109th
Liam Derby 127th
Nobby Coy 130th
George Pernom 134th
David Romney 146th
Thomas Putnam 147th
Steve Furey 148th

Team points:
10
Team position: 14th
General Ranking: 14th

Analysis:
Even if it's a bad result, only 10 points, the level of our riders for the hilly stages is quite low.
I feel the only reason Carter took some points is because he has the snow icon.
My strategy was based on having Carter all the time with the best helper, Kennedy, and it worked as they rode together until 4th part.

Nice job on stage 1, given the resources available  ;)
And thank you for posting the ratings for Team GB. I have one comment here: in Hills TT, Winn did better than Anderson last season. You might want to keep an eye on that, and maybe adjust the percentages, if necessary. I know, it depends on where the hills are and all that ;) But I  had to say something  ;D

Keep it up for the next 6 stages!

Yes, in fact the mixed specialities (TT with Hills, mountain with hills, cobblestone with hills) can have hundreds of % so differents based on where the hills are and how many of them are there, so probably the rankings for those specialities are not very representatives.

So, you are right, Churchill was our best man in the stage last season and here he appears 3rd....

Characteristics: 100% Mountain
Past in CFF: Season 2 Wordl Championship: Winner Carl Martinusson (NOR) Flyeven_hjul
Past in real life: 1995 Road World Championship: 1st Olano (ESP) 2nd Indurain (ESP) 3rd Pantani (ESP)
https://youtu.be/4lYKPLO90cE


Selection:

Mike Janson 21 yo, CyKings (home grown rider), 2nd time with NT
Mike Bauer 21 yo, Cykings (home grown rider) youth squad, 2nd time with NT
Walt Evans 21 yo, CyKings (OSLB home grown), 3rd time with NT

Jason Rodriguez 21 yo, BignigProCycling ( home grown rider), 1st time with NT
Tim Bell 19 yo, Inglorious Bastards (Lemarche home grown), 1st time with NT

One of the toughest World Champioships won by Olano when Indurain was the main favourite.
Even we don't have rider on Mountain DT, we have a nice squad with several riders of great level.

The Falcon Janson was 3rd in this race some weeks ago in 1a, only beaten by Martinusson (NOR) and Miorlin (ITA). The Norwegian team is the main favourtie with several riders with big changes of being among the top 10. Apart of Miorlin, 2nd in the WC, Blaak (NED), Niklitschek (GER) and Bogdanov (UKR) are among the favourites, without forgetting the strong French team.

Tim Bell, 19 yo, will do his first appearance. This will be continued in the next races with at least one 19 yo riders included in the squad, in order to motivate the promotion of GB cyclists.

Results GB race season 3

Percentages:
Mountain 48
Downhill 16
Stamina 24
Technique 7
TW 3
Exp 2

Result:

Mike Janson 8th (140 points)
Jason Rodriguez 42nd
Walt Evans 49th
Mike Bauer 71st
Randy Hilton 102nd
Graham Long 103rd
Ethan Foster 118th
Dylan Crickton 128th

Team points:
140
Team position: 8th
General Ranking: 13th

Analysis:
Acceptable result. Our leader Janson was in the top10, 8th, so we repeated the last season result Bauer collected.
Even Janson was far for the head of the race for most of the race finally in the 4th stretch he connected with Jason Rodriguez and he helped him to reach the top10.

Next 2 stages are good for GB, so let's try to get great results.
