Komisarek surprising April gave us quite a few points. Still hoping to see TVG having similar results like last year. I hope to not finish in relegation spot and get a bit higher budget boost to strenghten my team. |

It's bad to see Komisarek missing the final attack in Lincoln as he was still there in first group. Still, his season is fine so far, I hope 2nd half will be as successful as first.
Congrats df_Trek on triplet in Aleko 
For a brief second when I opened results I was like "why there is Tejay Van Garderen there. I don't remember sending my team there." And it was Brian Van Goethem, lol |

Sagan, you beautiful beast! Focus race victory, home race victory! I kept saying this is our safest bet for a focus race but I could still see so much go wrong. Thank you Dege, GVK and Senechal for creating the winning move, for bringing Sagan back after all attacks, it could not have played out better.
Congrats BZT, what an Aleko performance. Also well done Lasse Norman, 8th, another excellent result. Terrible U23 performance, though.

Does anyone know what happened to other riders at the Aleko Vitoša race?
I'm missing Geraint Thomas in the results? Is it possible that he and probably some other riders we too much dropped or that they crashed and couldn't go on or?
Congrats on a triplet win df_Trek at Aleko 
I don't know what to say anymore but each and every race is for my Trans team positive surprise as we are almost all the time having at least one rider in the Top 10.
I don't know even what to say on the rankings. that EBH and my team are both in firt place in their rankings.

Probably crash and he couldn't continue the race. And other riders just were "over time limit" probably. |

thanks mates! I still can't believe how the team was so strong that day. And god, Van Goethem!!! what an incredible ride...I was sure we weren't suited to that kind of cobbled sections, in fact I didn't choose it as focus race...impossible doing better...
not the same in Lincoln, where Phinney missed the right move...unfortunately he followed Vanmarcke attack, and wasn't ready for the counterattack...

Thanks for the info. Probably he crashed then at least hope that this wasn't to hard a race for him s his MO stat is 71 I think and a bit bigger cob.
Thanks

yeah, I forgot about Thomas, my pre-race favorite number one. I think he crashed out, or I can't explain it.

I chose specially this race for Thomas and EBH but wasn't our day I mean EBH still did great result in top 10.

Vanmarcke with another kinda disappointing result in a cobblestone race.
Dufour though getting probably the best result of my dev team (excluding Lambert) ever

No idea how Horlock managed to get 14th in Aleko, but glad he made the effort. 
Lavery back to being well out of position in Lincoln and does nothing for us.

Rankings look solid with us still not in the relegation spots, let's see for how long that will be the case.
Lincoln was disappointing with Puccio not up to the task there unfortunately.
Thanks for the results Shonak!

Our secondary riders have just been terrible this year. Mullen 15th in the Campania TT was bad but Benoot's Lincoln performance takes the cake - 85th. Demare who is worse in both CO and HI finished 5th (I guess because his SP let him be considered a competitor)
Benoot isn't quite good enough in any discipline to get treated with respect by the AI. Which I knew was the risk with him but damn, 85th.
On a different note congrats to Trek on a great Aleko result.

As expected, the cobbles are our nemesis.
Congratulations df_Trek for that triplet at Aleko! That is an awesome result!
Sagan continues to add victories, his results are impressive. Congrats Ripley!
Thanks for the results and videos Shonak! |

Aleko was a train-wreck! Not for Trek though 
Great result in both Lincoln from Degenkolb and winning the home race by Dimas

Had an exporting issue with one of the stages of Romandie, so decided to move on with Aosta in the meantime. Romandie will be delivered as soon as the results are exported from the missing stage.
(Re-doing is not an option since it happens in every run anyway as far as I can tell)

Kinda similar things with Giro. You gotta wait a bit more. Stage 20 had some exporting issue too and last ITT stage made my game crash so... exporting issues again. Whenever those will get solved, Giro will get it's proper time here |

Finally our young guns are showing some sort of life with decent performances in the mountains. A stage win would be nice though, as I don't think we've won a single stage yet with any of our teams, so hopefully we can still change that this season.

Good luck with the exporting troubles!
Fritsch 6th so far in Aosta, that's about right for him.

Whole bunch of results for Aosta, Amgen and Sochi posted incl videos.
Great showing by VDP so far in Sochi but the real story has to be for us the very unexpected stage and gc performance by quitera. Glad he could save it with a 2nd spot, would have been nice to cap it off with a GC win too but the winner was definitely too strong.
