I always shorten the names because I don't want these categories to be a wall of text. But I agree that Vuelta should be written fully to avoid confusion.

Some corrections:
Alpine other results: I think it should be 26, not 30. And I miss 3rd in Alpe d'Huez
In general textual: You have shortened the names of the tours. For instance Vuelta could be Vuelta de los Castillos but also Valparaiso. Just to be sure I would go with the full names.

Hahaha, yes, the one time we have a proper Outside Top Division candidate.

He is actually best manager outside top division material
But it is nice to have him here instead of only the top five or so from the rankings.

Honzas is an experienced Div1 former #1 ranked manager scoring results in races below his level. It still takes planning to do that, which is why managers like him often do get nominated here any way. But with just two tour wins and a classic. That's breakfast with such a team and pedigree.

Tacticman did drop last season, but from Div2 to Div3, and this is still his best ever season ranking wise with a team built from scratch. So that's why I value his season so highly. I can understand there's different opinions though. (And definitely open to swapping him into the vote for you or ichti)

Interesting choice this Tacticman. I see why you did it. But is he really better than for instance honzas?
