Damn, that TTT was a pretty bad performance...
I guess we will have to settle with 3rd then 
(Still some hope left though.)

Kudos to Liberty for their amazing TTT. Contador stealing a few seconds every stage is getting a bit scary now. Only three seconds difference, can't wait to see the last stages.
Uran doing more or less like expected with his third place in Vancouver. His stage win is a huge bonus however.

Now that AaB-ern fixed the spoiler feature following the site upgrade (big thanks for all his efforts) I finally took a look at the last 2 stages of Tour of Vancouver and what a surprise was waiting in Stage 6.

Hey guys,
I just want to let you know that at the end of the week we'll get going again. From then on I'll have more time again and the last stages of the tour will be posted + a rankings update. I initially wanted to do that on the weekend but with the broken spoilers that wasn't possible. Hope there are still enough people on board to get into the last three months of racing then  |

Great, looking forward to the great finale of this year result-wise exciting TdF

Thanks for the updates.
Personally, i am far from happy. Only two stage wins and third in points classification is far from what was expected when sending Sagan and Kristoff.
Definitely, a huge downside in CarbonSports attempt to win the Pro Tour and Prestige rankings.
I also hoped to contest Liberty Seguros' amount of GT stage wins from last season but this will be very difficult after this one. I need a huge Vuelta by Kittel to have even a very small chance on it.

This hurts. Proud of Bertie-Boy though. Next year another try. Gratz to Ecopetrol.
@knockout: How many do you have so far? Last year, we had 14 GT stage wins. Sufficient to say, Purito won't get us 12 stage wins in Vuelta... OR WILL HE?!

I had five in the Giro with Kittel but 2agan only could add two more in the Tour. I would now need 7 which is rather difficult 
Kittel and Ciolek and the usual strong support are at the Vuelta and with a unique flat route 5 stage wins could even be realistic but 7 is of course surreal.

thanks very much.
3 stage wins and 3rd overall is quite ok. Probably I should be glad to increase the points lead over most of the teams - though Ecopetrol and Liberty Seguros came closer now.
Still, winning the rankings is goal #1 and it looks good for this.
I would suggest to reward points not after places but after gaps

Good to see Degenkolb finish 2nd on the Champs, although Sagan had a huge gap, which is quite disappointing. And of course no stage win, which we came here for. 
Great that Degenstache got the green jersey on the last stage though. Didn't even know he still could win it, as I paid little attention to the classification. |

In time, Wellens got close to the top 10, unfortunately there's a few guys just before him. Still a good ride from him, he'll be back next year!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

What an epic TDF that was, well done Bikex. 
We had goals of three stage wins and a podium and only just missed out on the podium, couldn't have asked for any more really.
Sadly we lose points to the Russian menace, but we have more than a great shot at the overall rankings - especially if VDB podiums at the Vuelta |

didn't expect much from the Tour focusing mainly on Giro and the Vuelta. still got a decent amount of points from it. 4 riders in the points of the GC is unexpected though with Priedler in 17th especially.

Thrilling finish for an even more thrilling Tour de France. Delighted to see that you are back, Bikex.
Congrats to Ecopetrol and Cyclotron!

Disgusting race for us. Thanks to the dreadful AI deciding that Thomas is a GC contender forcing all of my riders to support him to a top 25 instead of getting in breakaways. 
Nothing at all. Goodbye Swifty and Stetina. We'll find nice homes for you in the CT. If anyone at that level even cares.

It has been an great season so far, but this takes it to the next level.
Not only did Quintana win the whole thing, he also took four stages in doing so.
After my average first season I was wondering if I could build a team that manages to avoid relegation, my budget is still one of the smallest in the WT.
It was a great race with small gaps till the very end. Now I'm just hoping this is a good omen for the remaining stages of the real tour de france.
Thanks a lot for reporting, bikex!
Looking forward to the post tour season. It will be mainly the task of Betancur to continue Ecopetrols success.
