So this week starts TdF. Who are the main candidates? He have 8 flat stages and 4 mountain stages. Have the best mountain riders enough flat skill to keep the pace to make the difference in mountain? lets see. A good tour to all My favourites for the Tour de France: 1 - Bregge Melres United 2 - Amron Team Berserk 3 - Guershon Melres United 4 - Miranda TGV 5 - Barbantini Signs of Destiny + probably 2/3 Montezelo boys Thanks for your vote of confidence but Bregge doesn't have a chance to win the GC. He will probably win the Mountain jersey and finish the top 10. Yesterday I check the entry list and I didn't saw Amron and Miranda so I believe that the fight will be between Guershon,Barbantini and Gisriel. Watching Stenes lineup I saw good flat riders but they will make a difference in the flat stages? Or I will make some difference in mountain? I don't know all riders so probably could be a surprise in some rider.

AS I said, Bregge is out of GC fight and even Amron that entry today.
I never though that flat will create such a big difference todays stage.

Watching the resulst from 1.1 to 2.4 we see Div | Winner time | Mountain guy | 1,1 | 4,30,42 | 4,46,34 | 2,1 | 4,31,15 | 4,50,23 | 2,2 | 4,33,12 | 4,42,01 | 2,3 | 4,33,27 | 4,41,29 | 2,4 | 4,30,25 | 4,44,54 |
So big differences, and its only day 1 and we have a full week of flat stages. Even in Div 3 I saw the same, in div 3.9 riders losing more then 23 min. But the thing more stage is that I saw some top mountain riders( mountain >10) finishing in the 1 group. I will ask to the managers about the flat skill.

Series 2:4 was the fastest?
I really miss Schizm statistics. At least it was something through which to compare with the rest of the world.
I think that everybody is a little shocked by the difference. Maybe its because all mountain guys went on 70%? I came with my flat cyclists in TdF as i don't really have mountain guys, but i would have attacked with all if i knew this would happen.

I saw in 3.9 Dizzi with 4.27.20 but I didn't check div 4.

Perhaps IP has modified somethings? Something really strange. I ask my brother about is rider that finish in the peloton and his skills are 1 flat/13 Mountain ride as helper and he reach the finish line with peloton.

Indeed strange results! But for my case, I hope I can follow group 1 in every flatstage with my multiskilled riders they (3) finished in the first group today. Hopefully they can make the difference in the mountainstages to the guys with only flat. So I can achieve a nice GC with one or two rides ;-) I'm very curious about the next days and then especially next week, the three really hard mountainstages!
Greetz and good luck!

Please, do not forget the following parameter: length of segments. You'll see next stage will be much easier for mountain riders

12 riders with the same time in GC No one pick up the peloton today so a large group finish with the same time. Now Barbantini with more points is the leader of GC. Lets see if somebody make a move

Oohh yes! We are going to have a great stage Gherschon is in its starting blocks. But will he have a good night? Will he find the way to rest before the big fight? Will he be able to forget the flying legs of Barbantini to save 2 or 3 hours for sleeping?

Will he be able to forget the flying legs of Barbantini to save 2 or 3 hours for sleeping? Gherschon is ready for the fight with 98% And I have Nistor that already took 2 Yellow this season, he could keep the strong pace. Barbantini isn't going to attack because he wants to go to the vuelta so lets see who is the stronger rider tomorow. You got 3 riders too in the top 10 and I gess that Sanshis will try something. Charrier is another rider to watch. Lets see tomorow. P.s I already change my tactic 3 times and I always see many possibilities of tactics

The Tour de France was a big disapoint to my team. I though that I would win with my rider 7-2-11-1-2-2 and he didn't have a chance. I am still waiting for Nikeboy answer related to the last mountain stage jf_Taffonneau congratz for your tactic and for your first Yellow Jersey. You played very well indeed. Can you share the mountain/TT skill of your winning rider? I hope I can finish this week with some victorie to glad my day I hunger for Vuelta and to make a better performance.
