One wonders how many points you have lost this season to Allianz!
Thanks Shonak. 
- World champs can't be too far away now yet what type of route will it be? We have had hills, Contador has won - are we going to have a sprinter friendly route next?
And thanks Brewers for some more updates, so regular! VDB looked like he could have won that one if there were some more meters chucked on the end of the route there! If he can do that in the first week hills, I ain't ruling him out of the podium. |

Doha could be cool since it's this year; race either way turns into a echelon spectacle or dullest WC ever, who knows. I'd actually prefer Doha over some sprinter-friendly race with a few hills tho since the hills don't matter anyway.

ICL moving so fast and I don't have to lift a finger. That's great guys, thank you very much. 
Monfort and Caruso duo at the Vuelta look great so far for me. I don't care about Vanendert crashing, as I knew already after the TTT that he won't be factor in the overall.
Also Miguel Martinez being awesome here having the KoM jersey for two days straight already, after sucking the entire season. Finally he shows his potential a bit.
Edit: On the WC route, just put some ideas out there and I'll make a vote about it in the end. Only route style that won't be in the WC will be hilly with uphill finish, as we had that last year.
I thought about Richmond as WC maybe as I think that could be great racing as well with the cobbled sections. |

Other way round actually. VDB was in the lead for 4-500 metres and Costa passed him with about an inch to go. Very close. Sorry, bringer of bad news and all. 
Great to see more races getting done. At this rate Bikex will actually be under pressure to get all of his magic Excel sheets ready on time.

Isn't a surprise tho, Allianz have been always good in late season races especially World Ports Classic.
Nice win for gold shoes Demare. Tour of Britain was last year an all-out Kwiatkowski show, wonder if someone dominate in similiar fashion. Thanks for coverage, Croatia.
I think I can do some races during Paris-Roubaix, it's always a nice time to do some parallel PCM coverage when you got dual monitor.

Also thank you Croatia.
Another good thing about this pace lately without me reporting races is that I have more time to take care of the excel sheets, so I hope I won't fall behind like brewers mentioned.
Just updated the links in the first posts of the results thread. It's pleasant to see only a few races are still black in the table, without a link. |

One too many
They're really a pain this season in the sprints. Sometimes i have the feeling they have the dominant sprint team :/

Stages 4 & 5 are up now. Should be two sprinter's stages but there is a seriously tough climb near the end of stage 4.

Spoiler Yes, gentlemen, that is a lesser spotted breakaway win. In the first week as well.

Damn, Alitalia had to be the breakaway winners.
And I can't even fault my team because Bettiol actually did get in the break.
