Puscasu day? Damn Puscasu! Not sure what happened there. Imperial dominates attack point 4, but gets destroyed at attack point 5. He loses almost 1 minute and even Chiodo came extremely close as well. He even lost time on the Franconia group. One thing is clear again though, Puscasu is the flat king (and I don't like him )

oh, i was lookin at the standings and thought really it's time for eboese to win the title this season, you were so close last season, maybe this calendar fits better your team... keep fightin! Haha, cheers mate, we definitely keep fighting! Franconia is really going all out though, training fitness last weekend and yesterday he smashed 4mln on 2 strong riders from Lions. Van den Hende is probably going to hurt me. I don't think the buffer I'm building up will be sufficient to keep him of my back further down the season, but we will do the best we can. I do have good hopes for tomorrow, should be a good one for Audoux normally.

One thing is clear again though, Puscasu is the flat king (and I don't like him ) haha he's the damn king... well, i found something strange in yesterday's race too, my attackers was Vieille and Filnois who is a 20yo with 7 flat and 2 sprnt and TT, Vieille has good flat, not great but good, he doubles the filnois's one, he has enough sprint and good TT, he is one of my best riders for skill total amount, and gosh, at the first attack point he finished in the same group 2 with filnois! oh, i never expected it.... after the first point race went regular filnois lost contact, but this really surprised me! btw i thought Imperial could win the race, never expected a Puscasu's win after point 4... but it surprised me he was in group 2 after first point too!!!! that's incredible! it's not the first time i thought there was something strange in flat races, but i really can't say what's wrong with it...

I do have good hopes for tomorrow, should be a good one for Audoux normally. please don't tell me... i was out of money due to the damn 4,5millions for Manzano... If i think what i can buy from lions with less money i'm gonna cry! btw who buy Canart? naz went to merles am i right? they was the 2 from lions strong as Granato and Colombo are.... the others dosent worries me a lot but naz and canart were so dangerous... ^_^ today it's Audoux day mate! btw you can only go day by day and let see what happens... it's a long season indeed... maybe this season teams like cirao's GSC who is strong in win jerseys can help you out...

Tour de Yorkshire bought Canart. Not a surprise Audoux won today. And all jerseys for the Droeftoeters.

Audoux indeed! As long as the sprint stage is fully flat there's no stopping him. So how does it work that Crispeels is third at all the intermediate sprints, but ends up 4th at the final sprint? Does it have to do with helpers? And if so, do the helpers not have any effect in the intermediate sprints then?
I'm a big fan of a bonus system for my riders, mainly to keep the salaries low, but I guess I may have gone a bit overboard in my last negotiations with Imperial. I've actually lost money on his final standings. That guy can buy a decent house after this tour, haha.
11/25/2015 C (Bonus) Mountain jersey bonus for Elias Imperial $89,400 11/25/2015 C (Bonus) Time jersey bonus for Elias Imperial $103,500 11/25/2015 C (Bonus) Points jersey bonus for Elias Imperial $77,700

Haaha i did it the same with granato last season, he took more than me from the bonuses when he won tour of borneo... sometimes it's better to have a 2nd place, at least for money!

about the sprints if i remember well, helpers counts on final, but also terrain has a different impact, can smone confirm it?

For intermediate sprint only counts the rider who will fight for intermediate sprint (terrain+sprint)and for final sprint counts the sprinter (terrain+sprint+helpers). There is also a factor in sprint for the different type of terrain. You cand find it training in the funny races

Tomorrow I also finally aim for a win with Lanneau. He won it in season 7 so it have to suit him, but of course a lot of riders trained and developed, so it is definitely no guarantee. We can be nice to each other since I fear Moises the most. Also Trgo is a favourite and I don't know Zapardiel's guys. I expect that Droeftoeters will play Vidal tomorrow who also will be a candidate. I guess one of these 4 with a few outsiders like Torroni of Schizm and maybe Vissio from GSc.

I was aware of the terrain thing, but I didn't know helpers did not have any impact in the intermediates, interesting.

Aragao has a really good history with Vlaanderen, so he must be one of the favorites for sure. Damn Arno, you know my team well, haha. Vidal will indeed be my main guy. I do fear the long flat parts in the beginning though, that might be a bit too much for him. And yes I am also sick of Masek . Audoux not so much though! You leave that guy alone, Arno.
