Unfortunately Tappa lost a good result because of a bug (with the grouping). He was just two seconds behind the peloton and attacked in the hill part. He "left" the group, but after the part there were two big groups with the the same time. So he actually he didn't left his group. Similar problem in the last part. He attacked, he left the group according to the race report, but he didn't left the group. A bit annoying for me, but I think the bug is fixed in the new race engine.

Seems its going to be a fight between me and pave4life for the safe 8th place in the division. I have put my tactics for the rest of the season and for me I think I will be the team who relegates. I wont take many points next week so it will all depends on the last two weeks

Number two won this season. Fully tired now. Amazing what Brouillet did @ 70% effort.... I wish he did that all the time! Other races @70% and finishing almost top 20... Sorry Seberla to take this race to an 'ALESANA-victory'. I allready wish you good luck in Div 1:1. Seems to be real hard there.

And today is again proven that I suck on mountains. Belem - 10 mountain goes 100% as attacker; Result: 9 minutes lost... He's for sale...

Thanks, chakra! The season isn't over yet, but I hope I can finish first or second. And your Gest deserved the win of course! I'm sure he's a stronger sprinter than Van Steenberghe. Well, I'm happy anyway because of the wins by Greindl and Streber. As expected my riders can't compete in the GC, so I decided to attack with each rider.

The Vuelta went much better for the lions than I could have hoped for. I was sure we would have to try to build enough of a gap on Tomagno in the mountains to make up for his much stronger TT and today's TT finish could not come soon enough for us - glad today's stage was not any longer...
Congratulations to Montezolo on a very strong TT showing today, and to Team Berserk's Amrom, who now lies in pole position to be crowned best rider in the division this season.

Congrats to the Lions. Amazing performace again! There were a lot of mountains and just few flat parts, so I expected a win by the Lions. But I wonder what happened if Tamagno would have raced with full effort in the last mountain stage. So, now I'll try to defend the second place...

Seems you will keep your second place. Nice solo victory of Veland today. I was unlucky. Albusel couldn't attack on the first flat part, but on the other flat attack point he did manage to get away and end 6th. Could have been a bit more, but he was only racing on 85%.
Lot's of cyclists for the youngster yersey. 7 contenders...

Thanks seberla. Well done on today's stage win. I would still put Franconia as favourites to win the division - I don't expect to win many more points now as my riders are not strong at all on the flat compared to others in this league. The Lions will do their best, but the lion's roar is usually a kitten's meow on the flat...
I just noticed that Spigniii!!! did not enter the Tour of Beijing and has not yet entered the Tour of Britain - so that could have a bearing on the league placings.
[Edit] Also Pave4life did not enter, which could also affect the battle for 8th in the league. Looks like several teams might be saving lots of firepower for next week.

EPO-Elks 6 1 0 0 921 Yes, I'm closing the gap between number 9 cause he's not riding Tour of Brittain and perhaps I will pass him. And even getting closer a bit with number 8, but since he's got youngsters in the tours (Beijing and Brittain) I'm sure I will not be able to close the gap. So I'll be in 3rd Div next season, for sure. Congratz to the promotion teams allready and goodbye to the others. Lot of succes next season to promote. Perhaps I'll be back within 2 or 3 seasons.

chakra: I indeed think I will stay in front of you. I don't see where you can close the gap of 140 points. I indeed have youngsters in both tours who will bring me points and I also have hope for Uyttebroeck in Bejing. He's 2nd in the general and has more fitness left then the rest of the top ten. If he doesn't fall I think he might even win this tour. Would be my first yersey of the season

You must go for it joachim!. I wish you succes for Beijing. First cyclist with +60% is on 3 min. I think that must be enough to win this tour. After all the hard work you deserve to win it. I hope to meet you again in 2nd Div or 1st in a few seasons.

Surprising to see Limon and Lezzani escaping with a group. Even more surprising to see Lezzani escape in the final and arriving 3rd. Happy with the final result, but damn just 2 (bonus)seconds away from the yellow jersey in this Beijing Tour! Damn damn damn! Nice done Barbantini. But closing the gap between the 8th place from 140 to 57 points. Just trying to make you a bit nervous joachim. Sure tomorrow after the TT the gap will be bigger. Sorry to see Uyttebrouck lose his jersey.

Congrats seberla on regaining the top spot in the league. One win in the week was one more than I thought we'd get.
