That is a great result. Herpoel did not fall and managed to win this race at 85% (and even leads now the best riders ranking in 2:2)! Beautiful end of a otherwise rather disappointing week. Hope to have some time to do a preview on the Giro. Good weekend update to all and hope to see VdGG back racing.

Before going to Italy where the real climbing starts, we have a sort-of-flat tour in England, Yorkshire. Starting with a sprint, than we decide the king of the flat and after that the winner of a bit more mixed stage can take the polkadot.
What can we expect?:
MothersoI: Hargraves and Amanar for stage 2 and 3?
Carapaz: Jestin-1, Cristea-2 and Vandenbussche-3, a rider for top 3 for every stage.
Levi: a modest team this time. But certainly with some plans for Flinois. Riding for GC?
TGV: young dogs, there for experience. Maybe Belem for YC?
Dustin: Coleman and Beenen for stage 2 and 3.
PollyJ: with Knol, Leers and Ghysselinckx starring 3 amazing flat-riders. What are the plans? Knol maybe even for sprint?
Joachim: Leao is probably the best flat rider in our division, beating Leers and Christea in Paris-Roubaix. Favorite for stage 2. Eenman one of the top-contenders for the sprint.
ToursCC: Cwynar and Brichau did not impress much but for sure will collect some points and money.
Devils: 5 new riders. Renquin can do podium in the sprint or compete for top 5 in race 2.
PanterasN: starring Batata here. We know his excellent TT skills. Can he also win a flat race?
Naspa: strong line-up. Döring and Van Nes can try for a podium in a stage or in GC. But first Orlandoni will try to win the sprint.
Podium for tomorrow (if all manage to survive the hill): Eenman, Orlandoni and Renquin.

Nice preview, some thoughts:
- Nostalgic about Zoeters? (saw you changed it again ) - Amanar is not 100% fit - Orlandoni wins tomorrow, no one gets even close. Eenman problably 2nd. We're not the best division when it comes to sprinters. - I am still thinking if I would go for YJ or not. It all comes down to predicting what the big stars like Van Nes and Leao (and Renquin who will not go 100% in stage1 I guess) will do. My feeling says going for yellow, especially Van Nes. Döring probably picks stage 2? I only bring my 2nd leader so I will have to make some choices.

I hope you are right about Orlandoni. But I really think Eenman made good progress and for me he is not beaten yet. Remember, the last sprint race was one by my other Italian sprinter, Camozzi, who proved himself -certainly now that VdGG's Cappellazzo is on the TL with an expired contract - the strongest totally flat sprinter. But he (Cam) does not look forward to the climbing of tomorrow. So I am not taking any risk here - he (Cam) will sprint next week in California or shortly after in the Giro. So my second best sprinter (Orl) has to do it. He must be able to digest the climbing. I am myself not even sure yet about Van Nes and Döring -yes, still traumatised about losing Zoeters in such a stupid way. It depends a bit if there are differences already after the sprint. But I think normally I do not want to contest Leao on flat with a rider who almost for sure can win stage 3.

Orlandoni proves he's still the best flat sprinter in the division. But happy with my second place. Tomorrow Leao goes for the stage. I need to use my youth leader here, so I'm limited in strategy

For me Coleman go full attack at 100%, I hope he can follow Leao a bit and is not far after him. Also Galvao get a try.

For todays flat race:
Paramount favorite: Leao (JOA) For other places: Leers (POL), Coleman (DUS), Cristea (CAR) I expect Döring (NAS), Knol (POL) and Renquin (DEV) going for GC.
And VandenBussche (CAR) tomorrow to duel Van Nes (NAS). Flinois (LEV) sadly out with an injury. Maybe Van Beenen (DUS) can interfere?
Still wondering if and when TT-specialist Batata (PAN) will try something.

team dustin B. Bocken, did his job (2 flats in 2) V. Beenen, not good enough, expected top 5 last stage (mean, hoped for it) (fall in 1, fall in 3) G. Coleman, well done (flat in 3) A. Galvão, expect a bit better (fall in 2, 2 falls and flat in 3) W. Vriend, did his job (flat and fall in 3)
edit: Yorkshire -points -money

That went pretty well. Döring a bit dissapointing - but well, going for stages and GC was too difficult in this case. Than VanBessien would probably have won today.
Congratz to Knol (POL). Smartly done, green - the plan of Hargraves (MOI) almost woked out- and yellow. And to Kohlhaase (MOI) for white.
