Took my cookie. Not bought at Carrefour, though.

Team Cerro Torre RT and it's riders, as they feel humiliated for beeing mentioned honorably while losing any relevent race.

Can one, on his own wish, be exluded of that list, when winning exactly nothing?

Seems you just have to hit that catchy name. Nice clean friendly nobel price worthy Josip Broz never found his way into consideration. Who's got more victims to his name, you think? Josip Broz has never found the way "over my table". Might, and it never felt senceful to send it that way when the re...

Well, starting 3 races, what to expect? Nothing, even if starting all of them. That's why, considering manager and team ability, you'd even have to rate this spring classic season as a success. At least one win. And something more valuable. A confermation of what should have been known when the proj...

Well, I'd like that topic, would have a few ideas, but you hit a very busy week. Till Sunday, no chance, no spare time here till then.

Doesn't seem logic to me, to restrict it that way. Just because, in reality, a team could do so, if it wanted.
But another restriction applies in my eyes: You can either help some other rider or follow someone, not both. That would be the restriction I'd be more fond of.

Well, I suspect you think that way, poke: Fewer races --> more 2 field races --> more low competition races for newbies (in easy theory) + more comeptitve races for stronger teams in field 1 Reality is, in my eyes, more like: Fewer races --> less fitting starting times --> more experienced teams lim...

Speaking of impact, I might have some, but I'm not sure that is to my favour. And towards Het Volk, I face a difficult question regaridng the lineup. Well, it's not a secret that my team is built through Kasseien, Kasseien, and Kasseien. Thus, in order to hope to use that strength, the lineup should...

Omloop Het Volk just ahead, even in February. So probably too late already to start talking about the most important and most interesting sequence of races of cycling season (though that description is more adequate to real cycling than to RSF sadly). We are heading towards the Vlaanderen Classics, ...

Ok now I see. I couldn't imaginge why to devide both by the number of trainings because that just eliminates itself. (2/5)/(110%/5)=2/110%. As the result of every training is either 0 or 1, adding all training percentages equals the expected value. So while you are right that your value might give y...

Well, my first point to this kind of calculation is: Why to include the 0% trainings? They got nothing to do with chance or luck, their result is sure. That leads to something that states well better for what you mean to calculate (at least I think that's what you want). I would recommend to calcula...

Please explain to me the theory of this, luck coefficient, best by quoting scientific papers, because my late night search of it as well as the the german translation which I thought to be adecuate just led to nothing. I'd be really interested to know what that really is, because just the number tel...

And it cost me quite a lot of timing issues to get through it. You are right, my team shows that it doesn't work, if you are lucky to find and win your youth riders the right moment. But I won't grieve for that, for I am not a friend of those restrictions in the first place.

But maybe I'm just talking for myself here and this is not so much of a problem for others.

National championships are mostly boring anyway, so what?

If stupidity was punishable in RSF, what a junk of teams had to be eliminated? (including me, you'd find enough evidence over the years).

Usually, that happens if the race was startet with fewer than 10 teams. Than the rewards are number of teams *10%, and same goes for the wages and the amount of wages that gets refunded.

I mean, really? An amount of virtual $$$ is more important than the happiness and satisfaction to have won it?

The system does not accept the order "fall from the group" or "wait for captain" when a rider has 0 power, as they are categorized as tempo settings. But falling from a group shall be possible in this case, too.

I'd be with you totally, that is more of a flat rider's limit than a pavé rider's limit. Even fl's proclaimed numbers are too low in my opinion, as you have to take into account that most riders only train a few more points in flat when older than 23. A rider with 75 pave at the age of 23 will maybe...

Looking at the market from time to time and seeing so many riders one would really like to bet on, but just never see to be offered to higher divisions, I have to support that push. I mean, you can just buy them down there, you don't even have to overpay. And that's not my point, it's ok if very goo...

I've decided to go with the late race, as this is the best chance to be on for Camino de la Muerte. My lineup will be: Jón Þór Birgisson Milan Fras (wil join the team at the start of the month) Joey Hishon Sverre Jakobsson Tobias Karlsson John Long Borna Rendulic Sami Salo Kolbeinn Sigþórsson Expact...

Internal pavé skill, as far as I know, is an addaption to the original pave system. Some years back, "official" pavé skill was calculated as 0,7 * flat skill + 0,3 tt skill. While the dependence to flat skill deemed ok to most, there was the wish to decouple pavé and time trail skills. Thus, in the ...

GP Plouay, Montreal and Quebec are all set to 9 riders, while to me it seems in real life they are ridden with 8. Can that be corrected, please?
