The final Vuelta stage shocked me a bit.
Seabra took second in a flat group sprint with 45% fitness going in. I'm guessing nobody other then possibly the Zwemmers took a sprinter to the Vuelta at all for that to happen.
Would have been awesome if he were close enough for a couple of bonus seconds to make a difference in the standings. Ah well... still a pleasant suprise to take 2nd on a sprint stage with no real sprinter on the team. A win would have been really great though... he could have back-doored his way to a points jersey (just two points shy).

My sprinters took up the job as helpers, to secure 3de place for Ziegler. Still they ended up in top 10 wich is still good. About fitness.. 45% fitness left on the last stage made Seabra one of the strongest

Let's say I forgot to increase my cyclists % in the final stage. Just Peters made a litlle effort. But it was a nice surprise for WB and Semtex

And Peters is going in training to become a fantastic leader. Since he was subscribed for the Vuelta he is pretty out of fitness. So don't expect too much of him. Alesana back in 3rd position.

Yes it remains exciting! With 1300 points in front of the pack of hunters for 2nd place, we can congratulate De Scheefspuiters. Ending up 4th in season 6 and now 1st in our Div. I wish de vuile all the best for next season in 2nd Div. I hope to meet him again in season 9 in 2nd.
As for my team, I try to follow buckie and keep ahead of RC and MOI. Nothing has been decided yet. Buckeyes still has to subscribe for Montreal. But he's an American, so he won't have to travell that far. We on the otherhand will suffer from the timelag between Europe and Canada. Luckily it is one of the final stages of the season, So the cyclists can take a big break after this race.
I know it's still a few days, but I already want to give my best wishes for Christmas and a glorious and healthy 2014.

Callens wins the trust of the teammanager. He was just offered a new contract and won the day after. Closing the gap a tiny bit with buckeyes and enlarged the gap with 4th and 5th place.

The finals of this Div is really math's. Choices to be made. 83 points difference between 2nd and 3rd. And what about 4th and 5th place just one little point! Between 3rd and 4th/5th 293/294 points. My goal (top 5) has been achieved. But it can be 2nd and it can be 5th. Really excited!! And for next season, I already am sure this Div is going to be excited too. This is really a hilarious Div.

Congratz to Winaud's manager. Good job RC. It's making it more excited. In our Div it will racing it's indeed not over till the fat lady sings. Is buckeyes hoping not to promote? Is he using his brakes or can't he do better? What will be the results of the Hokkaido Tour? SeMTeX: + 50 points for his youngster in the Hokkaido (unless he gets injured as my Cimino did) Has MOI a hidden calender to make a final sprint for 3rd, 4th or perhaps 2nd place. Damn a tough Div. As for ALESANA yes I admit, I bought new brake systems and I'm testing them out. Promote in not one of my goals yet. But I would like to win another stage in Hokkaido. Which one? Guess... Places 2 to 5 just under 300 points difference. Looking forward to the next stages. and for quiller: allways welcome next season. I hope you've got some real good legs, you'll need it.
