Good News - screenshot of Bardet in the leaders jersey
Bad News - caption reads "race leader Bardet having a very bad day"
Lucky Bardet hung on for 2nd in GC, I hope he doesn't repeat his bad day for stage 10.
There are 21 stages in a Grand Tour Roman 
Chapeau to Betancur, some great attacking riding.
Thanks for the video Bikex even though it was painful to watch

So now Henao is outperforming Wellens..
Good to still see 2 stages a day though
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

That massive gap from Betancour doesn't make a whole lot of sense but good for him. Allianz continue doing their thing with Clarke turning into one of the top climbers in the race with 5th on the main stage. Oh well, 3rd is more than we could have asked for.
Great video Bikex: much better quality I see. |

Ah right, it's Iranians who bring team doping into Italo then
I don't think the Iranians are any better at that than the Italians. 
Thanks, that's the positive side, but now the video took ages to upload.  |

Last stage of Tachira and Paris - Nice added: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1134418
These may stay the only stages for today, as I'm not sure yet if I get to do some more.
Fun fact: Barguil and Betancur now leading the WT rankings with the exact same amount of points.

Nice to see Ciolek taking fourth in the point classification. Much appreciated extra points in a race with only one flat stage.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Ok that's been the biggest failure I've ever experienced since I've joined the ICL. Not a top 10, a single 1, and we weren't even anywhere near close to get one! Not even in the other rankings we were close to score any decent points.. Let's move on and forget about this congrats Cyclotron and Dominox! for the wins there. Happy to see the Italian Champion doing so well.

Bardet got over his bad day and finished with a nice points haul from his trip to Venezuela but couldn't crack that 1st place.
3*3rd, 2*2nd, GC 2nd, Points 3rd, KoM 2nd
Meanwhile in Nice Jan Barta managed unlucky 13th, great win for CCC.

Fantastic from Dombro on his debut. Getting stronger as the race went on to the point that only Betancur was stronger. Unfortunately ran out of time to get on the podium but the white jersey is nice compensation.
Keep doing that and we may even finish top ten this year.

Wilco finally delivers at Col d'Eze to achieve his first victory of the season and climbs up to 6th GC

A lot of catching up to do here! Nice to see the team putting in an effort in Roma Maxima, just weren't able to drop the competition and had nothing left for the finish. DNF for Bekker, Judging by his season so far I'm assuming that he was outside the time limit, but could've crashed out too with 53 on cobbles.
First two stages of Paris-Nice could not have gone any better. Bookwalter top 10 in the prologue, Gesink only lost a bit of time. Stage 2, Van der Lijke gets in the break and doesn't lose time + Van Poppel repaying the faith of keeping him as a sprint leader for another year
Will have to do the rest tomorrow, but that was a great start to March for us.

A bit annoying seeing Chaves seemingly getting into a rhythm and then getting dropped on the later stages in Tachira. At least Yamamoto could hold on to a top-20, and 8th on stage 8. Things are looking good for breakaway runs at the Giro.

damn Kiserlovski falling off 
Paris - Nice is going well with the LuLu/Piti combination. the spaniards are somehow unable to win though 
Tyler Farrar won a peloton sprint
LuLu/Piti with 2nd and 4th overall, 4th and 3rd in points and team classification bonus. they collect over 310 points just from the overall results. still no stage win though :\

Meh... Nerz did great on stage 9, even climbing to 5th place in the GC, but giving it away on the final stage is a bit of a bummer. Still, a top 10 in the GC is good enough for us at this point. |

Sending Elissonde and König to Tachira for a shared leadership didn't work out really - you guys are not supposed to share the stages where you lose lots of time! 
At least we attacked quite a bit - thanks to Albasini, Hirt and Sarmiento who even got us a 2nd place.

Yeah - I am pretty disappointed with Kreuzigers showing in Paris Nice he just did not seem to shake off his general maliase for the whole race from beginning to end.
The pace of reporting though is superb - thank you bikeX!

VDB gets himself on the podium! Any doubt that I wasn't giving him a potion of youth is erased now.
Bikex - Great that your have the startlists file done. Will be much appreciated if anyone else has PCM2015 and wants to help out.
So next up: Milan San Remo. Hoping for a hard race, we won it in ICL1 but will more than settle for someone well in the top 10. Definitely one to watch the video before seeing the result. |

Spoiler Special Occasion: The first time ever we have a 1-2-3 from one team in ICL iirc.  |
