Yeah ... very happy teammanager here I was secretly hoping for it, and when Costa crossed the finishline ... it was a big 'yes !!' - lol. Time you win one too, SeM.

Oh my team won't win anything untill second half of the season. All depends on Leadership. My youngest is leading every race untill the team can attack 5 times. We are allready thinking of next season. This one is a training season.

Almost a second X-massgift, but a 2nd bad fall at the end of the race was the fall too much.
But was is frightening, or staggering, is that Geni (Firle) won with a simple attack on 75%. Looks like a peloton with weak cyclists in Croatia. Everyone is saving the best for the Giro, I guess.

No ambitions this week for my team, not even looking at races at the moment. Maybe sunday, but we won't win.. again..
Team is to weak this season. With 3 31y olds and all the rest between 19-28 that would be normal I guess. We'll be building up a few seasons in 3d Div. Second half of the season, after or while T.D.France there will be a stage win hopefully.

And another small tour has gone by Tour of Croatia
1. Geni 46 18 14:25:26 Time jersey Firle Bostal + pointsjersey+ mountainjersey 2. Corte-Real 19 3 +9:35 DeRodeLantaarn 3. De Baerdemaker 17 5 +13:28 Slayer772004 white jouth jersey 4. Signore 14 3 +13:38 Euskadi Basque Country-Murias 5. Chamusca 18 8 +16:14 Euskadi Basque Country-Murias 6. Kalich 20 8 +16:33 DeRodeLantaarn 7. Olejniczak 12 6 +17:26 Slayer772004 8. Belchior 12 1 +18:15 PAN 10. Verstocken 6 0 +19:22 Slayer772004
So Firle Bostal takes it all this tour. Who's gonna stop him? I guess no-one. Slayer takes the jouth jersey (again)
Top 4 is exactly the same as top 4 in standings of our Div, so let's just say normal outcome.
tomorrow last race of the week: LIEGE - BASTOGNE - LIEGE Something for an allrounder?

Liege-Bastogne-Liege
favorites?
Slayer: Hurlus? Rode: Urzica? (Rode's leader is 19y so he might not have attack points enough) Firle B.: Gonzalez, Bacelar and others (leader, has ridden 1 race this season) Euskadi: Pimenta, Centeno PAN: Sabia In my opinion probably the winner for today
All in all not the very top riders of our Div. So maybe today is a day to finaly win a race for SeMTeX? I wish and hope.
Go Carnea!

tomorrow ITT in the GIRO Wandering who will be on the stage... Lanoe or Sholz or Dael (5th mount.stage Tirreno) from Firle Bostal Levesque or Pimenta (2nd in mountain stage Tirreno) from Euskadi Ascolani from Rode my favorite is Descendre from fantachicca (ex cyclist of mine, I know he has TT and mountain) edit: I see heas only 65% fitness at the momentNo idea of TT skills from these mountaingoats. For my team Vanlanduyt, no mountain but enough TT to get on the stage we hope. Can't wait

Intrinsic Singerman and Angelier (ex-Slayer) from Fantachicca are the best climbers. I strongly believe this 2 riders could be the favourites for the pink jersey, but unfortunately much depends of his motivation.
Good luck for tomorrow, SeMTeX. And if its not a victory, Im 100% sure you take one in Japan.
My Giro is allready over, but all went pretty well: - Melet: making stages to fulfill his contract, and took a nice 2nd place in the first stage - Vanbesein: took 1 stage, today a 3th place, and with some luck he ends Top 5 in PJ and MJ - Blicharz: my leader, decent rider, but no stages that fit him - Van Der Eycken: only 1 goal: making stages for experience, and help my GC man if necessary - Lorent: aiming for the Youth Jersey. Even he is only 23, Im pretty confident he can make it. Still, it will be a nice battle with Debadts (Rode) for sure.
Japan is one big big question mark. No idea how my climbers relate to the other teams. Time to find out !

It's a pitty Firle lost his 1st position due to a injury. Raviol will defend his position. I hope he will be strong enough. Debadts is ready for a battle with Lorent. We will see where it ends.

Though day today. Lost a lot of time. So I shall see how this goes for the rest of the tour. I still think some teams are holding back now and then. That is a pitty. But no problem off course. Congrats to the winners.

There he is ! Congrats SeMTeX ! The first one is the most difficult one, they say, so who knows what will happen more Well, maybe I made a mistake with Melet. I never expected him to survive this 3 climbs, so I've put him on Helper for Lorent, so Lorent won't lose time on the long flat parts in the begining. What if I've put Melet on Final Sprinter ... it could have give him a boost at the end. We'll never know. And to be honest, Im very happy with this totally unexpected 2nd place. Maybe now Melet could end high in the PJ.
