Yes, Bouhanni is brilliant in Ster ZLM Toer!
Twice on the podium and then winning third stage - that's my boy!
The rest of the team loses time constantly, but he's always in the front. That looks like good teamwork. Really looking forward to the last two stages.
@bikex: I don't really care for that team cometition thing - however, it shouldn't be calculated from the GC, because that reduces the chances for teams going for breaks.
Well that crash sucks for most but really helps VDP in regards to getting some minor points. I am very disappointed that my youth team does not care to go into breakaways. sigh

As you may notice the leader of the team classification at the Ster ZLM Tour is kind of weird. Do you think it'd be better to calculate the best team from GC places after the final stage or just take what the game gives out. I can already tell now, that the winner will be a rather weird team that rarely got a good stage result but always had at least 3 riders in the peloton.
I usually always took what the game gave out at KoM, Points classifications but also in case of team classifications, but I'm not sure this time as the result is very weird.
You'll do anything to fuck me over.
No, I think it's ridiculous as I now only have two riders in the 'main group', so how we're the best team I don't know. I wouldn't complain if we won it though.
Doull improving every day and on the verge of breaking into the top 10 is mighty impressive but this is a step too far for this young team at the minute.
Nice effort by Angus in SA. A podium for our Kiwi beast finally gives us some points but the GC is horrific for us. Nobody in the top 70 is even worse than our 2014 GT results. Good to see Whitehead giving it everything in his home race too.

Rivera in white Bennett losing lots of time is sad but not unexpected with 69 MON Siskevicus and Bevin sprinting very well, shame a break won and Atkins putting in a nice breakaway effort on his all new "air"-o bike. ZLM tour doesn't deserve my time, and I'm almost the worst manager here

I knew it would never come good for a win but my heart skipped several beats while the video loaded and the white jersey was in second! Awesome gutsy performances from Bennett and Rivera, culminating in two well deserving top tens and one of them was a POOOOOOODDDDIIIIUUUUUMMMMMM bumbadumbaambumbadumbaaam :

huge one from Jakob, that should be yellow and an amazing performance on top with our 4th stage in SA
edit: surprising performance by Romain Feillu to somehow stay in the top 10 of the SA GC & what a stunning result for Cymru by Fenn, very big points for sutty
Cav sooooooo close to a win in ZLM Tour, pleased it was Sutty who edged him out for victory. Great to see the sprint trains in the video where it is clear we are giving Cav a lot to do. Very happy with 4th in GC and points.
Beginning to wonder if Eurosport will be winless this season, lets hope not.
Team Classification: Bikex: I do have a real problem with the team classification going to Teamo Colombia here. I mean their best finisher per stage reads as follows:
20th, 25th, 38th, 39th and 42nd. If anything, they were probably the worst team after Prorace! Could we recalculate it more justly?
Bad race for us, Langeveld grabs us almost 20 points only.
trekbmc - Damn right you should be happy with that! You probably leave that race with more points than knockout did.
Bennett losing lots of time is sad but not unexpected with 69 MON
