3rd victory! Weird tactics. Lezzani wanted to attack, though I just put him as final sprinter. Very weird. Has someone experienced that too before? I expected Christmann to be 2nd but he lost a few seconds on the final mountain. Today I also expected Quattanens to attack with Dinslage, Borrego or VdBrandt. Seems one of them is riding on fitness to attack ... Benasque? I think there will be more teams attacking then. congrats! I told u... and yeah... I was sure to get another 2nd place today but Christmann lost 9 seconds... damn... but Wulf lost much more so...

Today was one of the stages I selected. Both cyclists are good on hill, but lack some mountain. Grabbed some points so mission complete

Unfortunately you have clear for the flat stage in Vuelta, as Filipescu is home, treating from injury, instead of being in the race. So GL for the flat race. You should not have big competition this time, its also only one race.

I even forgot to put any tactics at all for the most important mountainrace of the Vuelta. So 5 cyclists just on 70 with no tactics at all. Huge mistake. Lost the mountain jersey and my top 5 place in the Vuelta ranking.
I must recalculate now if it would still be possible to reach the mountain jersey. I wanted to compete with Quattannens today. Roland agains Borrego and Dinslage. Damned.
Nice victory Quatta, back in 2nd place now.
joachim is still in front of me and due to my tactical mistake he surely will remain there. Damned again.

oh 2nd... what a surprise... Did you really think you can beat Puscasu in this type of race? I had a serier of being second in the middle of the season, so i understand your frustration, but this race simply couldn't be yours!

Back from holiday and I see my cyclists lack TT. I tried to keep the gap small with Andreoli in the TTT, but it didn't worked. Even if he is one of the best TT'ers from the division... The last stages will be deciding. Let's hope for the best

Is he really that good at TT? I have a 7 flat with 6 TT and +5 sprint He's not in the Vuelta

He has 6 TT as well, but 10 flat. I don't think sprint matters in TT's, and if it does it won't be much I guess Another good point is his lenght, 2m04.

OK you beat me with the 10Flat. Mine is a little smaller.
And I'm closing the gap with joachim. but there are some flat-hill-mountain races so...don't know what will happen.

Last three races and the Vuelta is over. Difficult decisions to be honest. Tomorrow a mountainstage where I need to take time, but if I loose time the next stage it will be all for nothing. And the last stage will be important too, but I don't think there will be big time differences as everyone goes 100%. I have a plan, but it can certainly fail We will see in three days! Good luck to everyone for every fight for every point to get a higher place! (But not too much for PAN and Evcont )
