Hey guys,
Cool! A thread for division 2d. I've relegated from 1a after 4 seasons. Of course I'm not happy with that, but it was kind of expected after welcoming 9-11 trainees last season. The rest could not hold me in 1a. I'll try my best to finish top5 this season and promote, but I can see it will be though. After only 18 races I'm already 1100 points behind #5 and even 2200 behind #1 (Mlb, where have I seen that before, LOL - back in season 1). Hopefully, on the cobbles I can take back some points, but again there's a tough competition (from gandarias, for example, but also on cobble hills, which is not exactly Zatarra's specialty). Also, we've made some tactical mistakes in TDU in the sprints losing a few hundred points, so I should definitely prevent that from happening again.
And most scary are the tours, with ItaliaCycling and Borinot among us it will be hard to finish in the 'high' points. And with them scoring points in the tours, and Solex, Astanadena, Bos and Mlb scoring points in the other areas Zatarra's not the best at (hill sprint for example) it will be very hard to finish top5 with 9 cyclists of 20-21 years old, of which Haringa is currently wearing the youngster jersey. That's somewhat cool after all.
Anyway, good luck!
