It's becoming an interesting fight for place 3/4/5. After a few weeks in the season I really thought that Slayer would become 3rd (or even 2nd), but the last weeks heppie and eboese are doing better again. Curious to see what it will be in the end

Quite a good week for team Bolt Thrower. Now what will be the right tactics for the Vuelta? Very difficult! But at least I can say that my team will start with some strong mountain goats. Me too. I start with 5. I just take 1 strong mountain goat Ah well, 3 others also know how to climb a mountain, it all depends on the definition "strong mountain goat" of course.
But I just noticed that I take a fully home-grown team Probably the first time in a grand tour for me, I guess

All hopes on Mihnea in our team. With Ioveanu and also Eminescu to back him up, Doucet as allrounder and Varão for the youngster jersey. Hoping to capture my 6ed place in 1:1 like last season, so team Bolzonis... watch your back good luck all

Surprisingly a huge peloton stayed together on a stage like this.

Idemoto took quite some time in possibly his final grand tour for WC Bloedzak. Curious how far he can get in the red jersey standings.
Strong line-up for the youngster jersey, by the way. Let's see whether young mountain goat Quintas can compete.

Cavaco and Mihnea with 24min gap. now it could be hard make up for lost time. but let's see what will happen in the monstrous third stage. As I thought, Timm with the first and last one stages can win mountain jersey. Few helpers and so many cyclist in safe fitness. Lack of interest of GC?
@mike. I lost a lot of points in the last two weeks. My Vuelta start today. And the beginning of the season my goal was to avoid relegation, now it will be to keep you behind!! Seriously, I'm curious to see the fight between Cavaco and Mihnea with a new contender Idemoto. Good luck all.

Yeah. Of course I don't know if I've chosen the correct tactics. But it's a hell of 5 difficult stages in this first week. I don't think you can attack in each of them - at least not without doing fitness training.
But as far as I see it, Idemoto is the only one who did a 10% attack (instead of going 35%). That gained him 24 minutes. This indeed could be enough.

Curious to see what it will be in the end The relapse of my team is as easy as sad to explain. Still, it was fun to compete with the big guns for a few weeks. Lets hope in a few seasons its possible again.

Can someone explain me how this engine works? In today's race, my rider Wawak, finishes 8th. His skills are 2-2-5-1-7-7. He was 100% fit before the race, rode on 100%, he was my only attacker today, so no duo attack bug and he finishes more than a minute behind 18 yo Van Royen. As an 18 yo, Van Royen cannot have more than 15 skillpoints, Wawak has 24, including 7 on sprint and TT. Wawak had only 1 flat, not more. How on earth is it possible that Van Royen finishes before Wawak? Anyone?

How on earth is it possible that Van Royen finishes before Wawak? Anyone? Some things that might help: 1) A flat tire costed Wawak about half a minute around part 16. 2) The sprint skill wasn't very important in this race. Van Royen might even have SP 0 in theory. In a race with more attack points, Wawak would have surely scored better. 3) It was a team time trial with Van Royen, Berghman, Ackaert + some other cyclists. This way, on every different terrain type, there's always someone else taking the lead in the group. 4) At part 34 (MO 12%), you lose contact with Baijot, Van Royen, Berghman and Ackaert. At part 44 (MO 10%), you lose about half a minute on Baijot, Van Royen and Berghman. So I assume they must be very good in both MO (7?) and TT (7?). 5) How was Wawak's form?

But is SLOODTS now for GC? 100% fitness, 11min gap IDEMOTO and 14min Mihnea. CAVACO seems to be too far.

Even then, if it is a team time trial, they take the average off all riders. An 18 yo would reduce that average. Wawak is 21 and fully trained. Of course he had 1 flat, but he lost only half a minute of that. His form was 8,4 so not bad. To be honest, I know Keldermans is the best 21 rider, I did not expect Wawak to has a chance of winning, but lose more than 6 minutes....
