Well done! Nice work RC. You're getting real closer now Or perhaps you passed for 1st place in Div Ranking? I'll see it when I get home. So you did not pass me. Little by little there seems to be a gap created between 2nd and 3rd. BUT it ain't over till the F..

i think we have to wait until the Giro is finished before we can predict anything, but it looks like you 2 have indeed the best cards.

I wouldn't say so. It's correct to say we'll see after the Giro. But there are still a lot of stages to go. And many points to win or to lose. MOI, WB, sforsato, Natrammn (with fitness trainer!) and your team too. It's exciting and it's fun to have an active forum. As told at the beginning of this season, last season I skipped the promotion, this time I try not to. But there are certain areas in which my team still has to improve a lot. Certainly to survive in 2nd Div (where I came from)

Thks RC. Congratz PK. I should have chosen Limon for a tripple attack instead of Munteaunu. But I thought Munty would perform better. Perhaps without a flat and a fall he would have.

Flat races are just incomprehensible to me. I haven't been able to do much of anything since attacks on the flats started working. The biggest thing is that I don't think I really know what a good skill mix for a race like today is... even if I had enough money to try to purchase a rider with the skill set.
Ah well... I'll stick with my well rounded riders who can try to do something on balanced stages. Feels like I'd have to focus a bit too much on flat to be competitive in races like today or Gent-Wevelgem.

In stages like this one today. Guess you just need flat, time and sprint with a little twist of hill and downhill. And then a leader with a high skill leadership so you can attack a lot of times.

I watched the race. Damn it was very close with Hernandez and Labadie. And Murieta even tried too. LOL It will be difficult to take away the mountain jersey and even points jersey will be difficult. The Time jersey will be very exciting. 3 minutes in front of a tired Murieta. But Peters is tired too. But the first 15 cyclist are at max 10 minutes. So what to predict for tomorrow final stage in Vasco? Natrammn will certainly try to win that stage. He's got some 90%-ers (as other teams too) but with this kind of terrain... And the youngster jersey will be a fight between Cimino and Cauchy I guess, but we don'n underestimate Arview! I'm aiming for a 200 points lead on SeMTeX after the final Vasco stage.

I'm thinking Thompson (65% fitness, 4:20 back) might be the bet for the overall... if Vroom attacks with him to go for the GC instead of a more fit rider further back.
In retrospect, I didn't bring the right riders for the final stage. Stank will have a go at it, but he's not a top rider for me... I'm not even training him at this point.

Thks RC. I thought Peters would not keep the T-jersey. Ended though on 2nd place with 5% left. May he go home safely and take a few weeks off.
