And Hutarovich somehow manages to drop out. Well one thing's for sure, he's no worse here than he is in real life. Guess I just gotta bank on breakaways now.
In the spoiler is a list of riders that are part of the first big group over the last hill at ~1:50 in the video.

Simon Gerrans Philippe Gilbert Carlos Betancur Nairo Quintana Jan Barta Jan Hirt Leopold König Roman Kreuziger Zdenek Stybar John Degenkolb Jakob Fuglsang Alberto Contador JoaquÃm RodrÃguez Luis León Sánchez Arnaud Demare Warren Barguil Chris Froome Moreno Moser Vincenzo Nibali MichaÅ‚ Kwiatkowski Tejay Van Garderen
Mixed 1 Lukas Pöstlberger Peter Sagan
Mixed 3 Andrey Amador
Imo it was quite a nice race, I could see the parcours being added as a CT race next season.
ROFL at the winner in such a race but whateverest. Gratz to the winning manager.

Seriously Demare, like what Spain with bollocks tactics once more. Never stood much chance on such a parcour with lack of fast finishers, but I missed Contador putting in some digs tho
Pöstlberger silver medal even bigger LOL

Imagine how quick we'd be flying through the season if we had just one more reporter.
I'd totally love to be back to reporting like 5 months ago or so but I just lack the time that the Daily DB is taking
Anyways thanks a lot for your work, impressive pace Also thanks Bikex for the RR, Moser with a good performance to finish 4th but that could have well been a podium.
SSJ2Luigi was the first to see the huge potential in Lukas Pöstlberger by putting a big steal bid on him to get him as his new sprint leader. Great scounting there!
@jandal: I hope you see now why i said that Pöstlberger is a good rider that could help you

Thank you brewers, without you ICL would probably still be stucked somewhere in July.
Great to see Danmark Round unfold as a race between TTers and Sprinters with the high bonus seconds introduced this year. Based on that race I made them. In simulations mostly a sprinter won so it's also nice to have now more of a TTer on top.
Rankings are now updated. The archive file is as well, in case someone is interested.
Alone Sagan with 1100 WT Pts in only one month and the whole team scoring 2000 WT Points
Going from 7th with -2600 Pts to the top to 3rd with -1200 Pts is huge
Similar story in the Prestige Ranking: From 2500 points behind (7th) to 1100 points behind (3rd) is equally great
Greg and Kristoff are done already but I still have Kittel at the Vuelta & Quebec and Sagan in Course de la Paix, Quebec, Bucaramanga & Il Lombardia. Can we do the monster comeback
Still #1 with Angel Dingsbums in U23
Thanks a lot Bikex and Brewers!
@Bikex: How hard would it to add a Races for Rider X planned feature for the startlist file. If that is rather easy then i could imagine that this could make for a nice and quick overview for the next seasons.

I agree. When I first saw the bonus seconds on stage 1, I thought it was a bit excessive but it turned out perfectly in the end with the breakaway being allowed to stay away by Achieve to stop Demare. Pretty intense for what is usually a boring race.
As I predicted last month, we're now down to 9th. Just need to stay clear of Eurosport, Smartone and Celesio for the last few races. Should be doable with a decent Vuelta lineup and Virginia of course.

My team continuing to be the worst team in the ICL by a hefty margin, but don't think I'm discouraged. I've already designed a jersey for next season, provided there'll be one (quite a lot simpler than the current jersey.)
