You really like bizarre results don't you Croatia?

well, most of the results are pretty realistic I'd say but I guess I know what you are pointing at, and in terms of that, it's indeed rare chance of being like that at all 
Spoiler but well, Pujol has dominated last season, and his team normally races in a suspect area - so is a stong Pujol much more surprising than a strong Antunes?  the performances of both real life and in this race were pretty equal between Antunes and Pujol; with the only difference, that Quintana wasn't that strong already here |

Our team needs some work I guess, Dupont should be doing better than that.
Didn't Vantomme move to WB, by the way?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

De Gendt not showing himself in Algarve and Haut Var didn't mean much for Verandas Willems. Slackers

well de Gendt had lots of work to do for Greipel and Benoot and thus didn't really show up - at least his team came up with a stage win and the white jersey
for Verandas Willems I assumed a weaker squad given the timing & importance of this race, so no surprose that none of your riders could hang on at the selective second stage |

By the way (and I know it's wrong in the database as well ), for Belgian riders, the "De" and "Van" are always capitalised, unlike the dutch riders. If you make it Thomas de Gendt, it would mean he's nobility. Just a general hint for the DB team

Rowe was 4th in the first stage of Herald Sun Tour.How was he in the rest of the race? How was he and Mas in their other races? (Because they were not seen in the results.)

well, this was the notable result of Rowe; he had to do a lot of helpers services for Froome (Herald Sun) on the other stages though...TDU was a build up race, at CEGORR he had a DNF after being dropped without coming back on a hill at around half of the race
Mas for now also did some workload for Martin (Algarve) and stayed in the Top 30 in Down Under besides an anonymous CEGORR
if you would post how you'd like their schedule (or parts of that) and goals of those in the interaction thread they'll surely get some more notifications in the texts
btw: didn't forgot Haig in Algarve, he just wasn't at his best there in a very young squad without notable results |

Not good from Bennett in Algarve but Kudus amazing in Oman 
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."
