chakra, I don't think we wil fight for 6th place. i will drop this week because with the mountains I won't get a lot of points. My only hope is to stay away from relegation

It was close in the mountain parts but the attackers stayed away which brings me a nice second place for Lusson. Not very big differences in this first stage of Algarve. The other heavier mountain stages will decide who wins this (and it won't be Lusson )

Yes i was afraid of an escape with major time difference. Godd thing only one minute. We'll try to make the difference in the next stages...anyhow I still see Roland in great shape!

Spignii seems the strongest team of the division. As predicted I'm dropping places in the division when there are mountains. Today I could grap some nice intermediate sprints with an early attack of Tordeur. His mountain is too weak, but he did reached the finish in the top group. No big differences made in the general classement

Indeed Roland is in good shape. Today 2nd with just 70% effort. Nice result for my team in this tour of Algarve. But yet no 100th victory for the team. Winning seems to be hard. I'm hoping for a nice final tour result. As for joachim and spigniii!!! (wtf all these "i" and "!") there are still many weeks to come and many flat and hill races. Looking forward for TT's too. Just curious who's got what. I've seem quite some TT trainers in our serie.

chakra as you might already know...I shouldn't be much of a flatter...but it seems that in this division i manage to gather points only in flat stages... My best mountain cyclist today at 85% could'nt escape

In the last stage of the vuelta Algarve are two mountains with 15%, so I think it will be very exciting on Sunday. There are still many cyclists with good fitness in the first group, but I'm hoping for a good result for my two mountain rides... I'm very happy with the season. No win so far, but I made many points. Especially the tour Down Under was great for my team. Veland and Tappa made a great job, but Tyssaen was too good in the end!

Thanks. Mountains are about all we're any good at TBH - pretty surprised to get the other win this week.

I thought I was pretty good in the mountains, but this beats everything. It's now very clear to me I won't win many races this season and I will be very glad to even win 1 race at all. That will be my 100th victory with my team. To be honest I thought I would win this race and the Time Jersey. But this was a amazing coup of the Lions. They really showed their teeth and claws.

Congrats! What an outstanding performance of your guys today...except Naz ;-) I think the most of your cyclists were helpers, so no wonder that nobody escaped successfully...and my best mountain rider lost contact to "your" top group...

Still 8th in the ranking. Hope to keep it that way and stay out of relegation problems. Nice 5 and 6th place today in the attack. Unlucky Joseffson who's 5th in the general isn't a good time trailist. I expect big differences in the final mountain TT of Paris-Nice

According to my situation you are in 7th place joachim. And I'm pretty sure you will stay out of the relegation places. Keep up the good spirit man. I want to compete you again next season.
Next Paris-Nice stage a TT. I'm wondering who are the great TT-ers. Sure not me.
