I thought our Lions would have won this mountain stage, but he wasn't even in top 10!

I thought our Lions would have won this mountain stage, but he wasn't even in top 10! yep, I also expected more attacks, especially of the Lions. But they saved some fitness, so perhaps they are good in TT, too!? Let's see... I'm happy about my first win this season. I never expected that Ranger could stay in front (fortunately, there were just four mointains!). His mountain skill is not so good, but I hoped to get some points for the mountain jersey.

I am wondering about the tt as well. Paris Nice has been a very strange tour....with 30 cyclists below 1.40. Let's see. chakra as you can see after the firsts 2 tours i am not getting many good results.... everything is still so variable!

I was saving all 5 riders for the TT. With their sprint skill I wouldn't have been confident that any of mine could escape the peloton on yesterday's stage. If they score no points in the TT I will tell myself that I should have attacked yesterday with the 2 riders who lost a big amount of time on stage 1...It wouldn't be the first time my strategy was all wrong

According to my situation you are in 7th place joachim. And I'm pretty sure you will stay out of the relegation places. Keep up the good spirit man. I want to compete you again next season. Next Paris-Nice stage a TT. I'm wondering who are the great TT-ers. Sure not me. I was a bit too early, now I'm 8th. What a great performance by Sibell. In the beginning some help, but most of the time alone and he took 9 minutes. Damn another opponent for 8th place

Congrats to EPO-Elks on the ITT stage win and Spigniiiiii!!!!!! on the tour win - looks like we have a very strong league for TT, which should make the grand tours very interesting...

Very interesting result in a minitour. I am indeed happy to see him winning. I think he just deserved a place in the Giro d'Italia...let's see how does he do in long tours!

And a big step down for me. On a degradation spot now. I keep getting 5th and 6th places max and that doesn't bring enough points. Today the 6th place was the maximum for me. Deleau is good in TT but with only mountain 1 I can't expect more of him

The speed in the moutains was extremly high again. My best mountain rider (with sprint 5) couldn't attack successfully and my second best lost nearly two minutes. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow

Indeed the speed in the moutnains is very high. Tried to escape today on 100% with one of my best mountain boys but he couldn't get away. Seems I need flat or hill races very fast to get away from the lower places in the division

Real Off day for the leaders off our Div. And for mine (not leader of Div) Some serious mountaineers in oud serie! Need hill, downhill and TT urgently. Even a mountain 11 and 12 can't follow the pack.

And after the U21 race I'm last in the division. I was the only with a complet U21 team but they are all 18 or 19 years old so they still lack sprint... I don't think I'm strong enough to stay in division 2 so I'm trying to get a younger team and I will also try to adapt already to the new race engine. I will still start in every race but the focus is already to be stronger next season

I'm gonna try to stay in 2nd. But race after race is very hard to stay away from relegation. My mountain and sprint are ok. So now training hill (finally), flat and downhill. Just trying to get a stronger team. As everyone. But winning this season will be something else. If not impossible.
