Well, after Portugal and Portland I've got a bit of a cushion on relegation again. Sitting in 7th with a 200 point lead on 9th.
I just hope a key injury doesn't hit in the final weeks to derail my bid at staying in 3:1.
I am a little confused on what to do with the next youth race. Do I stick with my best youngster (who'll only be at 85%) or do I go with one of my lesser skilled guys who will be at 100%?
If I switch to one of the lesser guys and the fitness gets reset... I'll be losing out on several positions in the finish.

I guess everyone in our Div 3:1 is confused about the youth fitness. Just wait till sunday's update and then we'll know more. Guess we will otherwise race at 70%? Portugal is a nice country. Points (Nice try PK ) and Mountain jersey and 2nd (damn) in Time jersey. Got bucky behind me. Finally. So RC it's now up to you. Nice youngsters you've got 1st and 2nd. Congratz. De Scheefspuiters is too far in front of us. Beating him for first place will be very very difficult. I never thought I would be in the running for promotion. But it ain't the end of the season yet. Goal was and is still top 5 and I seem to succeed in it.

Well done chakra you exceed all expectations! It's a long way (300 pts to buckeyes, 400 pts diff. to yourself) I'm affraid I'll end up 4th this season. I might come closer, or not, but I don't think I can close the gap completely anymore.

Hi guys! Looks like de Scheefspuiters are doing really well I never expected to be first in this tough division allthough i was hoping for promotion at the start of the season I had a good Volta a Portugal 1st 4th and 5th finally i can compete for the GC!! But my best riders wont be in the Vuelta so u might just beat my ass for the 1st spot but i'm hoping my lead will be enough! It's a pleasure to be in this division there were some really exciting stages here

Hi vuile. Seems a bit insulting in Dutch :-). But I guess you're from Aalst? You found the way to our Div forum. Welcome. Closing the gap to your team? Perhaps, but I think (I'm pretty sure) you will promote to 2nd Div. With just 5 weeks to go it's mathematically still possible to keep you from promoting, but let's be honest, with already 600 points ahead... So congratz in advance. You've got a hell of a team. "Only" 5 stage wins, but allways in a good position in a tour or single race. And 5 of 11 time jerseys. Matter of good tactics and some fine cyclists. I would like to know what kind of cyclist you have. Vuelta will be a tour to forget quickly. My cyclists are not my best (far from). So I expect buckeyes to be 2nd again after the Vuelta. And yes it is a tough Div. But that is what it makes excited in this Div. Everyone is capable to win and take the big points away from the top-teams. If I promote, OK. If not that's fine for me too. Top 4 will be good. Good luck in the Vuelta.

fitness youngsters was Nike, see bug topic. Finally another win for my team.. had to go 100% with 4 out of 5 guys to do it though. Only Div 2:1 could do better it seems... tipical buckeys to finish with only 2' after my team

Congratz RC, Finally another victory. And 20 points closer to buckeyes. He went 4 x 80% and 1 x 85%. But you've got more than 3 minutes before the 3rd team. Look out or my team they are only 6minutes behind.

Haah yes i like to be called vuile No i live in Ghent. You? 600 points its alot in this division! i hope it will be enough Yes i think the tactics are my strongest point, especially in the small tours you can do alot. I dont think i have many good riders. I trained them on TT this season so finally i can score in the GC now! Hope it will be an exciting vuelta, good luck all!

Heist-op-den-Berg. A small town in the midle of the triangel Mechelen-Lier-Aarschot. I started training TT this season from week 3 and indeed finally I start being a bit competitive. Still another 5 weeks TT in combination with flat. And then my trainer decreases.
