Gerdemann would have got 10th overall if he had beaten Kloden in the sprint.  I can only assume that he didnt.

Second third of 2008 season -- completed
1st August 2008. Today start the Tour of Denmark but before of that we will see waht the team did in the first 2 GT of the season, which was a more than good performance
Rankings
Kirchen is doing great in every competition this year. He could be the rider of the season. Plus the Superprestige is gone, now we have CQ Rankings.

Teams
Manager and sponsors
The other 3 goals of the season were completed by our riders 
So for the first time this season we can see 5 pluses by our sponsor expectation
Almost 150 podium for us, with more than 60 victories
Riders
Lars Boom
One win in Giro and one of the biggest wins for him, The Dutch Championships.
Gerald Ciolek
First win of the season for him in Tour of Luxembourg and a nice TDF aswell.
Bernhard Eisel
Wow! What a season for Eisel. Austrian champion, 3 stages in TDF and lost only by a few points the green jersey
Linus Gerdemann
Winer of Tour De Romandie and a good TDF by him with a stage win and the white jersey on Champs Elysees. And of course he is the German RR champion
Bert Grabsch
He managed to keep his German TT jersey so that's the most important thing for him.
Andre Greipel
In Giro he got the biggest win of his carrer.
Edvald Boasson Hagen
The Norwegian young gun got his first win in Slovenja. And he is very good for our sprint train, he will probably be in Vuelta.
Adam Hansen
The Ausie time-trialist got a win in Suisse, but in a normal stage not a TT, of course after a breakaway.
George Hincapie
A win in Dauphine and very good in France in sprints. The managers will try to sign now an another contract with him.
Kim Kirchen
Very good TDF for him and Tour de Suisse. He is dominating every thing this year. He's the best!
Thomas Lovkvist
Biggest win in his career. Not a normal win, but a jersey in TDF. It was the Polka Dot for him.
Marco Pinotti
A win in the last TT in Giro, but he couldn't keep his title in the Italian TT Championships
Kanstantsin Siutsou
Our leader in Giro. A stage and a few days in pink. Perfect for him.
Bradley Wiggins
He was in pink after the TTT in Giro and then an another stage win after a perfect breakaway ride.

yeah, that happend. I set his effort on something like 20 after the intermediate sprints. Then I forgot to raise it, so he was one of the last in the pack with all the energy levels on maxim. I was too focus on the sprint at the end of the stage, that's why I forgot about him

Great story!
I'm amazed at how well you've done with Eisel, I couldn't win a thing with him in my career and ended up letting him leave the team!
Great Tour, btw, but who've you got lined up for the Vuelta?
kutgw!

I think the Vuelta is too early for Edvald, thinks he will be better if he don't race too much. Awesome story

I could do that but I don't think that will change anything now that he already 'trained'. Just let see what happens
And here is the race calendar for August
