Yeah a poor Guatemala dropping off how many points we could make but nothing you can do about a crash but Fuji was way above expectations and Deutschland was quite nice so we quite happy despite Kwiatek.

Thanks for the post Bikex! Yup this puts us momentarily out of the relegation spots but Saeco is worringly making up terrain... the season is long though!

Vegeta will probably fold anyway? Great triple header for us, mostly due to Guatemala lottery

You have really got to laugh at this. So on a easier mountain stage Quintana can put 5'00 into the opposition ,but Froome on a harder mountain stage loses time to very similar opposition.
Ha! |

I'll let Tejay off because he's probably been on the champagne for two weeks. Mannion unbelievable yet again.
Solid triple header; Yates let us down in Germany though. Still, Tour de France next. Easy win...

It feels as if we (Saeco) are doing well on desperation points such as KoM and bizarre sprint train coming in 2nd, 3rd and 4th on a stage. But we are still getting hammered elsewhere. Rosa is damned inconsistent and Spilak was going really well before he crashed which was a bummer.
Still getting in the hunt is welcome

When Bouhanni and Martin disappoint, good old Rolland steps up! Now I hope the other two can up their level as well.

Stage races are really hurting us this year, as expected though.
Dev team doing ok-ish. Thanks for the reports.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Yeah Froome always very weird at Mount Fuji. In all 4 editions he came there as the main favourite and each time it looks good, as he has worn the leader jersey each year on at least 1 stage but never managed to keep it until the end. Now he has 2 2nd places and 2 3rd places in the race. Barguil also 2nd for the 2nd time already btw.
Thanks rider for the Berlin stages. Nice to see my former rider Latif take the timetrial. Martinez really needs to step up he is supposed to be the superior ttist in the U23 division.
What's weird now is that the helmets dont work for The Rider anymore, after they did in Rutland. Is it possible this has to do with the riders assigned to a race, in case anyone has an idea what the issue with the helmets could be.. |

Well I havn't seen any activity at all that you follow still ICL so I thought you lost interest and I asked the question. But if you continue it's all the better of course.

Very mixed feelings about the triple header. Deutschland Tour has been brilliant. Can't imagine a better home tour and having it chosen as a goal race turned out to be a wise decision!
Having managed a 0 pointer in a Wt stage race however...
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Triple header went pretty well, surprised we were Big in Japan

Geschke faded a bit at the end of the Deutschland-Tour, but Kern with a solid top 20, plus Rabitsch and Pöstlberger did well with showing up in breakaways.
La Jurassaine however was disappointing.

Two more stages up in Berlin. 3 sprints and each time the dominant sprint train gives the winner.
Great to see Korup get that win. A big turn from Alemayo needed to close down the break there. |
