Well ... Hillen grabbed his 2nd chance with both hands. After an exciting battle with Steenssens, Hillen was happy to see the finish was up on a ... yup ... hill.
Good for a 9th victory for my team. And what makes me even more happy: the 9 wins were with 8 different riders - only Vanbesien won 2 races.
Looks like it won't be enough to end on spot 3 in the ranking, but still, its a very successful season so far.

congrats with your results Slayer. And you never know what happens, because Raviol seems out of shape and I'am losing the grip on him. I have to give everything tuesday to keep him on the podium, but I'am not sure about that anymore. Fulwood is very strong and offcourse the riders from firle. I think some managers are showing their best tactical skills now. So well done!

Congrats Slayer, yesterday Hillen, today Heuts. Fulwood atackt 4 times and came in 2nd, Doucet only 1 time. I decided to give Fulwood a chance for GC in stead of Doucet, wich was his goal from the beginning. The stage wasn't the goal for Fulwood, he needed to gain time for podium. Guess he did a nice job today. Rode, I think Raviol will make podium. Firle has to give everything to his leader Gini so I think Duris will not catch up with Raviol. And if he doesn't go for Gini then Fulwood might take over 1st place Maybe last race in Vuelta will proove Firle isn't allmighty anymore

Hillen gave Heuts some good advice how to beat Fulwood, and it worked The last stage will be a thriller, where all rankings will be decided. Exciting ! Lets try a bet: GC: Geni - 1:11 is too much for Fulwood - Geni stays in his wheel, controling and don't lose time PJ: Fulwood - grabs the intermediate sprint, and finishes just before Geni, just enough to take the PJ MJ: Fulwood - Geni is maybe the better climber, but Fulwoods sprint is much better Raviol keeps his 3th place with his last powers, and Heuts goes home with YJ in his suitcase. Lets see !

Damn
Vanlanduyt was injured during the last race. He will be out for 2 weeks.
He misses WC Peloton TTT and WC Peloton ITT, that's terrible

First of all congrats to the winners of the jerseys. Firle, SeMTeX and Slayer. Very happy that Raviol could hold his position. I was a little bit worried about that. Ai that's bad news Mike.

But don't worry, no points for me today or the ITT next week, sadly As a matter of fact.. I've been planning the rest of the season. Not much in it for my team anymore. Season is pretty much over and out. Can't wait for next season. Promotion will be the goal... It's possible if there are'nt a lot of fitness teams or the ones that relegate from 1.1

Well to be honest I saw the gap getting lower. I was calculating already were I can get my points. I do scare division 2. I think I won't be ready for it but I will try if I hold my position off course. Still 2 weeks and one day to go. And I remember a few weeks ago. You didn't expect to much then, but at the end it was really good. Very happy today with the ttt win. At least I started with training on tt. It is nice if it pays out.
