No! Maybe I should change my name to Melres United 2? I'm getting attached to my cyclists too. Maybe I will sell van den Brandt this season. He looks like a loser to me

Seems my cyclist are in the winning mood this season. I already equal the number of wins of last season and I'm only one win away from my all-time high in second division.
Further I'm curious what the last stage in Romandie will bring us. The top of the GC is still close. Five cyclist within one minute, but they are all low on fitness compared to Muscolo from Tossboom and Fazzio from de Koureurs, who both are relatively close.

I don't think I will win. Fazio doesn't have the right skills for the last stage, he should have had an advantage by now, so probably not Fazio Or I underestimate my cyclists. I'll probably loose the green jersey too, but the mountain jersey should be mine. That's enough for me

Yes, but that's mainly because I don't want to loose much time in the TTT. You never know Strassera can do some stuff But I shouldn't win the TTT Compared to many other teams I lack downhill and certainly sprint. But I guess that's because I don't have a flat+TT+sprint cyclist in my team

I will introduce my GC rider,
Tomic Nistor 32Y, he is a very complete rider that can fight in all kind of terrains especoally in up hill terrain. Last season he played for the first time the role of leader in Vuelta and finish 2nd overall, he dominated almoust all vuelta but a bad tatical choise made him lost the time jersey to Strassera, seems they will fight again in this Giro. This season he already won the Amstel Gold race and now is ready to fight for the Giro.

I don't know yet who is my man for the GC, so I can't introduce him Anyway, I won the TTT today with some effort, but as expected way slower than the best teams in the world I don't know if I should try to go for GC with this small advantage, but I will see after every update what the standings are and who could be my best man.

Well my goal for the Giro was to win a stage... so SUCCESS!
My GC guy is Gael Lacroux (29). He's pulled off the Giro/Vuelta double once in 3:1, but I don't have any expectations like that for him in division 2. I'm hoping for a top 5. Like all my riders he's well behind the best here in mountain, so has to make up for it by using tactics that take advantage of his skills on other terrain.

There are different aproatchs to the Giro but seems that we will have a strong fight for GC.
Sunday we will see who are the principal candidates.
