Wigg.  Oh, c'mon. He is the best at TTs on paper and once again, he doesn't even make the top 5. Luck, please, where the hell are you with the British champ?

Would you guys suggest to keep that file or should I replace it with another? I could use the standard ICL file which is used for the most races or an edited Vuelta file. With the ICL file in the end the points jersey would most likely go to a sprinter in the other case most likely to a GC rider like irl..
I'd go with the ICL xml file. Hard call, whatever you decide will be fine with me. |

Cascade was a great race for my development team, nice to see Herr Klotz and Ludvigsson get a victory.  |

Personally, i think the winner of the first stage should always get the first yellow jersey so I would go with that. I would also want the point jersey to go to a sprinter ( at least with such a sprinter friendly route) since I always see it as a sprinter jersey but the real vuelta disagree with me. Let others / yourself decide as I am obviously very biased due to sending Kittel. 
But if it's one or the other then yellow jersey to the stage winner.

Yeah for me 10 second mid stage bonus is sucky, not convinced the AI would race for it properly in any case.
Also sprinters getting Jersey usually means pack chases properly.

I'm also very biased due to having Purito at Vuelta so not really a good opinion on that but it'd sound weird anyway if some breakawayee would get the leader's jersey on the first day.

I literally just messaged Bikex saying I could do that race. Thanks for taking it up.
Those 3 stages!! Poor start for Ecopetrol, they really should be after the GC win there, especially after last year when their yellow jersey crashed out. |

Missed the TONE being updated. 4th in GC so far for Chavenal and third in the TT

Thanks Shonak for doing such a long race.
Surprised to see the break three times surviving so far, but pleased with the performance of my dev team leader Ochoa in his home race and Liu getting a second place. |

Exactly what I was thinking! Uran was on his way to his first GC there and has none to this day. Normally I would have send him, but he isn't allowed to race, so it's up to Duarte, who had a very strong Giro getting in the top ten while helping Uran and a strong Tour as a domestique for Quintana, too.
Excited to see what he can do to take revenge.
Cascade was relatively quiet for the dev team, but I didn't expect to much honestly. I see some good potential for reinforcment next season in the scouting file. This task always feels a bit like opening Kinder Surprise.
Nice to see the racing taking up speed again!

Oh my god! Tsatevich wins a race in London! Maybe I should reconsider that guy's future...
Nice 3rd overall for Kudus in Cascade Classic. He's looking really promising, especially because he was that good all season long.
ToNE started good as well. 3rd for Bouhanni in the sprint stage and Kwiatkowski 2nd in ITT. Though with Vanmarcke's lead it's gonna be hard to challenge for the win...
Personally, I'd like an ICL .xml best, because I don't like to see the sprinter's jersey always going to climbers..

Which one was used last year, seemed to work pretty well imo.

So, that's a 3rd and two stage wins for my youth team? 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

3 more stages of Tour of Northern Europe up. One hilly stage and a prologue like timetrial are left.
Considering the xml for the Vuelta I'll take the standard ICL file. @Shonak: the one of last season is the one that awards 10 seconds at intermediate sprints I think.. With 7 stage wins I think Purito would also take the shirt with almost every file. |

Aye, two nice stage results and Castroviejo moving up to 5th, plus currently leading Team classification. Great race for us so far.

Oh, wow, 6th place for Richeze! Best sprint result of the season for Ecopetrol.

Going very well for Dumoulin so far, hope he can hang on over the hills of stage 7.

Phew, am I glad Wiggins made that split on stage 5.
Top 5, to my relief, should be the min. in GC for him now. Hard, but maybe non selective, hilly stage to come followed by the epilogue (hopefully good rec helps us out there). |
