AMEX is lackluster once again. Veyt tried to join the break but never was a factor the rest appeared to be on an afternoon jaunt. I think it is near time to fire the manager and hire somebody who has more expereince at the helm.
Our season's only hope remains the steeper terrains. |

Clancy can win this now, being the best TT'er in the break.

You are right, sprint finish of all the riders or another winning break is completly possible

Plus he's one of our best Sprinters, so he might go for bonus seconds.

Nice start for us here after a couple of tough hilly classics.
Congratz to Delhaize, too bad they decide to win right when UPC is there to take their first stage. Still waiting I guess.

At least HDL won of the cobbled riders. That is at least something. Now he needs to fight to catch breakaways for the next two stages. Korkotyan showed some promise on the first stage, and i think he can get his and my first stage win here. |

Ohh, not the best of start here letting the break go. Can't say it was good for us in anyway, except Gardeyn looks good getting 5th from peleton.
But, big congratz to Delhaize and laidbackmarc for their victory and completing their season goal

1st of 2 nice relaxed days for us. Any idea of a time scale for the remaining three stages, Smowz? Great job with the reports as always.

Ok stage again for us, Gardeyn wasn't very well positioned so we can be mildly happy from the result

Argh, Arnaud was so close.  Good to see he's willing to sprint anyway, but this was a great chance.

It take a team like Delhaize to control breakaways in D2 Wagemans and the rest of the team did a superb job with defending the yellow today, if we are lucky he may keep it until the time-trail. Every day he keeps it will be a success though.

This is a very interesting division. I like to follow here a lot, despite having my PT team to primarily focus on. The fact that no climbers have above 73 in the MO stat, and basically also for FL, HI and TT makes things very exciting. There isn't very long from being very good in this division and to be good enough to provoke a result

Hmmm, I try to be happy for Delhaize, but this must meen that we now are the newest addition to the worst team in the entire man-game

Nice report Smowz and nothing new for Metinvest, they should bought a sprinter But at least top 20 from Rudenko. Just stay safe Krivtsov and show them in the TT.
And also good to see Kostjuk trying something in the break...

You are still by far the most unique team in the game though. And hey, if Delhaize can get a lucky win, you can too
