Cangas, northwest Spain,
In previous season $Tourmalet did a great job 8), and this season he will be the Australian NT manager for the second time.
Hopefully Australia can compete again for the top positions in the ranking by countries.
The calendar of this season looks good, but the competition can be fierce so it is too soon for a season prediction.
Also worth to mention ; Australia has no riders in the u23 dream team for these 7 NT races.
Today a stormy race towards Monte Aloia in the northwest of Spain, just a few kilometers above Portugal.
These are the 9 who are selected by Australian NT manager $Tourmalet. Good luck !
Australia NT selection ( in random order ) :
Joyce Henderson (22) Albero
Stu Beal (22) $Tourmalet

RACE 2 : Zoldo Alto

Marostica, northern Italy,
Tomorrow a brutal finish on the Zoldo Alto (1.514m) in ice cold conditions.
In previous season Australia did not score points in a pure mountain race (MMMMM).
In season 2 there was a mountain race with 1 flat section (FMMMM) and almost no points with a 19th place.
Hopefully this different mountain race is more suited for the young Aussies.
These are the 9 who are selected by NT manager $Tourmalet, who has a good name for this NT race. :)

Bad luck...as I told you privately, in S3 Garza was good positioned, for getting some good points, the bad thing was that the helpers were a bit far from him...so in S4 was hard to have them together...this was the POINT for the final position...
But no worries, we have to keep fighting!

So I will do "his" job one more time.
RACE 3 : Dutch sprint
(https://www.cyclingforfun.org/cff/etapas/venray.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/ofikjaj.jpg?1)
11ºC (https://www.cyclingforfun.org/cff/imagenes/viento1.jpg)(https://www.cyclingforfun.org/cff/imagenes/solnubes.jpg)
Breda, the Netherlands,
A few weeks ago Venray was also the finish of a sprint stage in the BinckBank Tour. See picture, Hodeg won.
I suspect that NT manager $Tourmalet selected Nelson as team captain.
In previous season he did great in both flat sprint races with a 8th and 10th place.
In season 2 Dixon was the team captain in a flat sprint race and finished as 7th.
Remarkable in all 3 NT sprint races so far, that is that just the team captain could score points.
So, most likely again not many points in a sprint race. But who knows, maybe a surprising very good result.
Because the young Aussies are supermotivated this time since they saw their names in the excellent lists made by Franky. 8)

I don´t know the others skills, but I think always is in a place higer than his stats.
-
This week my TTers will begin their flat training, which means whatever result they get in the upcoming TT, they'll be expected to beat it next season.
-
I don´t know the others skills, but I think always is in a place higer than his stats.
Yes, I think the same but it is a while ago since I have seen the stats of Nelson, so my thoughts are not up to date.
You can ask the Dutch NT manager. He has good knowledge of the current topsprinters and Derek Nelson is riding in his team.
A funfact ; Derek Nelson is the most famous Australian according to the Australian NT page.
Next week a more suited NT race for Australia and hopefully again a lot of points like previous season, what was a record in one NT race.

STAGE 4: BREDA TIME TRIAL
Welcome to Breda, The Netherlands (again), in the first time trial stage in this season.
(https://s3.amazonaws.com/homelink/media/images/listingsrescale/555b8699a8a54_958_508.jpg)

(https://www.cyclingforfun.org/cff/etapas/bredatt.jpg)
We expect a good bunch of points in this stage, as it happened last season, and advance some positions in the classification.
This is the ranking for this race:
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/590170090604068864/616397844726939659/unknown.png)
So the final 9 are:
Isaac Trump Aurora_Australis
Les Rooney Frenkie
Hank Kewell Frenkie
Freddy Butcher Antequera
Jim Slipper Frenkie
Richard Levin Aurora_Australis
Ben Mitchum Aurora_Australis
Clyde Gill Frenkie
Owen Acree Aurora_Australis

Just a little comparison with Spain (with what I believe is their calculation formula)
Spain
1 Maximino Laguna 22 ChessPower 86.46
2 Higinio Espin 22 ChessPower 85.87 WIND
3 Kevin Santillana 22 ChessPower 85.29
Mine (note probably 2 extra training sessions since Spain's calculation)
Richard Levin 87.46
Isaac Trump 87.10
Ben Mitchum 84.91 (hot)
Owen Acree 84.71
By Sunday my cyclists will be an least another 0.5AV higher (maybe 0.75 depending on pop timings), so we'll be looking ok, particularly with Frenkie's as well.

Well well...we are again 2nd! It seems that this season, Spain would be Spain and they will win easy, we have to fight for the 2nd position!
-
Indeed, at the moment a great 2nd place in the ranking by countries. 8)
And race 6 is also a time trial with just one hill in it.
Then hopefully again the best in the day ranking (yesterday also, although just 30 points before Spain).
But also 2 cobblehills races and it is very close in the battle of the podiumplaces.
In previous season (C^ = cobblehills section) : FHHC^C^ 198km = 0 points.
In season 2 ( the world championship season :)) ) : HHC^C^C^ 179km = 250 points ( 6th and 13th )
But results of season 2 can be worthless, too long ago, talent rating and how good a manager trains an Aus.talent can make a huge difference.

Hi all, we are still in the north of Europe, in the Benelux, now in Belgium, in a hard cobble-hills race, with a rainy and cold day. We will start in Bornem and finishing in Geraardsbergen.

Words from our National Manager:
"We have 3 stages left for finishing the World Cup and one of them is theoretically favorable to us (the time trial). We enter into the decisive phase in second position. Spain seems unattainable, the potential is enormous compared to ours. Our objective is to try to maintain that second position, it will be complicated because we have a few teams very very close and the next stage was one of those that we didn't manage to score last season. This season we have a different leader, and we are going to try to do it differently to see if we can get a good result. After the stage we will calibrate our options again, a priori I have good feelings."
-
Again without points in this race.
I´m very sad, because I know that we had the level to take some points, but again the tactic was bad with our lider.

ouch... :( :(

Can happen, next NT race will go better. 8)
Hopefully a lot of points, because it seems to me that the battle for the podium places is fierce.
Good luck !
-
Someone knows Frenkie?
He had train his TT to 100 and is not playing in the last races.
I´m worry that he left the game.
:'(
-
Frenkie was here at least on the 5th, as I asked him about his TT training.
-
Frenkie = Telamon ( teamname was Argonautjes ) in CFF2.
Dutch, and the latest 10 (maybe more) CFF2 seasons, he was always one of the Australian NT managers.
It would be a pity if he stopped with this game.
I can see he had a top10 result in the Dauphiné. But he could registered the Dauphiné selection a while ago, and he has no Tour de Suisse selection. Also that his talents have 100 TT is worrying, because Frenkie is a very experienced manager and he would not train his talents to the 100 because of the u24 bonus.
I can ask someone by pm, they both emigrated in CFF2 from the Netherlands to Australia at the same time and both were very important for the successes of Australia. Maybe he knows more.
Hopefully Frenkie is on vacation and that explains his assumed inactivity in the past max.13 days. (since AA had contact with him on the 5th).
edit ; I send Frenkie a pm also.
-
Thanks Vos.
-
Yw. The person I was writing about, does not know it either.
But I did send Frenkie an ingame pm, so I can see if he read that or not.
Also a good method to see if he is active or not. So far he did not open that ingame pm.
-

:'(
Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive, yeah oh ;D
And still pulling and training just for Australia!
Some of my TT,s recently got the 100 full. Now they are training Technique untill Clyde Gill reaches 100 (tomorrow?)
And, yes I was Telamon in the previous Cff: worldchampion with Australia NT, U23 and U21 (still proud ;D)
-
And why you trained TT till 100?
That was the reason for me to think that you left the game.
-
That is loose train. Because they rise without train till 24 years old. More than 2 points from now, and a lot of days of train lost.
-
Ideally, a rider would now have reached 97 by race 31-32 of this season.
-
And why you trained TT till 100?
That was the reason for me to think that you left the game.
In my opinion it doesnt matter if you train riders with U24 bonus till 100 or 90
(The bonus makes a bigger advantage above 90 than below. But this is an old discussion we had years ago, I dont want to do this over)
I have also some nice 20 year old TT’ers who benefit from TT training right now.
-
That is loose train. Because they rise without train till 24 years old. More than 2 points from now, and a lot of days of train lost.
You are right. Still thinking in u23 bonusses. Will change immediately.
-
Example:
One rider with 22 years rise 2.4 without train till 24 years old.
2,4 points in that skill level (90+) it takes a bit more than 22 train to a talent 3 rider. 22 trains that you could give to other skill.
If you reached the 100 before is even worst.
-
With 22 trains, are 8 points in the (60-80) for a talent 3 rider.
-
I presume you have done a calculation from here?
https://cyclingforfun.org/smf/index.php?topic=260.0
with (skill gain per training * training sessions * talent level) + U24 bonus = Skill gained
-
Yes. That´s the way to do it.

Great result!!! we had lucky having 2 TTs this season... I hope we can maintain this 2nd position till the end!
-
>:( >:(
Fucking Aurora!!
xDDDD ;)

Yay. If I'm correct, this is the first win by any Aussie cyclist in CFF3. I just did a quick count, and my cyclists are the difference between being 2nd, and dancing the Russian Polka.
And thx Chris. Btw: A flashback to my predictions back in season 2 (May 27th)
Quote: "Next season Levin & Trump will possibly manage top 20s (season 3), then top 10s the season after (season 4)." unquote
With my cyclists so far ahead of their predicted success rate, and the growth to come, I gladly look forward to more cursing from other NT managers in seasons to come (maybe even knocking off Anderson in the flat TT).
-
If someone want to be the NT manager next season, we can change. If nobody wants It would be a pleasure to follow.

As I said at the end of last season, I intended to nominate for season 5, and have done so.
-
for me is ok. Not interested right now in the position, maybe in the future.
Anyway, as I'm doing with Miguel, if anybody needs helps with anything..just tell me.

Impressive results in the NT time trial. The very first NT race victory of Australia ! 8)
Good luck in the final NT race, Miguel, hopefully it will be possible to stay on the podium in the ranking by countries.
For now, it is looking good with the 2nd place. :)

LAST RACE OF THE SEASON!!
We are fighting to maintain the second position against UK and The Netherlands. This kind of race is not the best one for us, but we have around 300 points of margin...
And we are now in Italy, at the beautiful Toscana to compete in a cobble-hills race that everybody knows, the Strade Bianche.

Again a great preview Franky ! The Australian NT results deserve such beautifull previews. 8)
About the elections ; my vote will go to the only candidate so far. Good such an experienced and valuable manager will make his debut.
-
About the elections, as he wanted to be the NT manager I don´t submit my candidate.
-
For the race. It´s dificult, but I hope to say good bye to the NT with a good race and a podium in countries ranking.
-
Australia : 3rd place in the ranking by nations. 8)
Twice a podiumplace in your 2 seasons as NT manager. Well done, Miguel, Australia is very proud of you.
-
Thanks!
I´ll be back ;)
Today some points with a free rider, that saws that the tactic was good but the lider not so good as I thought. It was difficult to choice well. It is a very difficult stage to know the % of each skill.

3 medals in 3 seasons!!!!!! And 2 in 2 for Miguel! Well done!!
As Miguel, I have to say "See you later", I won't continue doing the previews as this was an agreement with Miguel, same with the rankings and so...
Good luck to Aurora in the new period as Australian NT.

My TTers, having gained 1135 points this season, are hiding a considerable deficiency in the Australian squad. In 5 races, Australia gained a mere 380 points, which puts us at around Russia's level. There's a lack of depth in our field, and few younger cyclists coming through to strengthen this in many key areas. This will create difficulties in maintaining the rankings, particularly when my cyclists aren't able to hide the deficiencies because of a calendar not suiting them.
Of course what this also means, is that there are underappreciated opportunities for those who do promote Australian cyclists to feature in NT in upcoming seasons, and we should be doing more to sell these opportunities.

Today golden climb-TT-specialist Benett ( SPORTLIFE ) takes the 1st position in the Dream Team.
And today a second Australian in the Dream Team ; nr10 TT = flat-TT-specialist Levin ( Aurora_Australis ).
( as everyone knows ; climb-TT is much higher rated as flat-TT in the DT )
Unfortunately no other Aussies in the DT. A long time ago we had 2 in the hills list and 1 in the cobble list, if I remember correctly.
-
Australian TT points in all NT seasons :
golden season 2 --> 510 in flat TT and 230 in hills-TT = 740
bronze season 3 --> 700 in flat TT, just 1 TT-NT-race = 700
bronze season 4 --> 740 in flat TT and 645 in hills-TT = 1.385 8)
Hopefully Benett will make his debut for Australia next season, because that means there will be a climb-TT for the first time.

Denis Mitchum was there the first weeks of the game...then obviously were going down in the list (he always trained at 70%)

Unfortunately just 1 time trial (flat) NT race this season, that starts in Australia with a hills NT race.
It seems to me this is not a favorable calendar, but it is up to new NT manager Aurora_Australis to asses this. Good luck, AA !
