Porte has still not shown his Mr. Hyde persona. Just eight more stages to hope that Jekyll fights on!
Isn't it the Hyde you want? Jekyll must be the weak side. 
Jekyll is the good side, Hyde is the bad side. By that logic 
Still going

Still plenty of time but on this stage the lack of support were super visible. Gotta hope that he can come back now...

It's because Kittel has been rather weak in the Prestige Rankings so far -> other sprinters were ranked better for the pots
Well shit. Shouldnt the Vuelta count into that as well? Looks quite artificial to remove 21 RDs from the count and both my guys are in a lower ranked pot than they should be. (Didnt you use AVG the past frw years?) This isnt really fair

Martin slowly moving up after the TT, but I fear he will lose time again in the not to distant future and then it will be a recovery job once more.

Komisarek in pot 1? Kittel in pot 2? What world is it? What year is it? At least he is in last 32. Nothing better will happen, for sure! |

I'll be happy to be back in CT soon. Those shitty races are not good for my guys.

Had much higher hopes but my team couldnt deliver. Other (ongoing) races were always more important though....

Time trials are already overpowered in the game. So the calender makers decided to go all in and make a shitty 4 days of time trials. Dunno who likes to see timetrails. #NotMe #GetOutOfTheWT
@knockout: who is your team doctor. I'm going to make him an offer. My team should be the only one who gets doped. #LookAtMyJersey

Holy S#17 Martin killed everybody in the final TT! WOW! I didn't think I'd win the Tour because the TTT would have us loosing time to other teams, but the whole team pulled it off. He was in a nervous lead until the final day but he did what he does best.. Onto the WT

Thanks for the VCT results, Tony Martin is probably having his best race since we switched to PCM15. Not much to say about Italo, but it is nice to see Martinez as 2nd of the U25 classification.
I have posted stage 1+2 of Course de la Paix: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1287328
And stages 15+16 of the Vuelta: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1287532

Lovely to see Vanendert doing well - we're invisible in Course de la Paix unfortunately. Majka is relegating us (should've gone for Dege :roll, but at least JAV has got a fantastic breakthrough stage win

Grupo with a nice depth in the Peace race but no beating Aru. Good performance by Ruben, too.
Stage 15 of the Vuelta was frustrating to watch because Herrada could have surely hold on to Nibali if he had just reacted sooner. Instead, he was playing catch up ever since Boswell let go. This has happened now the 3-4th time and it probably costs him the GT win. Still, very solid performance again by him. Hope is very alive. Podium looks rather secured by now, now I hope he can get one step back up again before the time trial which will be a daily form lottery sigh

Remaining stages
Two more sorta okayish stages coming up for small opportunities but they don't look hard enough for big gaps. Stage 18 could be a tricky one though, especially with far-out attacks ala Guatemala. Looks like it'll be decided in the final time trial, 40km long.

Were we really in that race?
Van Avermaet doing ok in Richmond with 10th, was hoping for higher.

de la Paix is already a write-off...
Porte still in 5th. I keep waiting for reality to hit. Hope I'm kept waiting even at the end of the Vuelta

This is really going to be decided by the time trial between three stage racers with equal TT stats, isnt it?
