36 riders in the break but no Gazelle. Come on guys, we need to join those. Warchol is low in GC and exactly the type of climber that can do well from such a break. Please try!
What a weird stage, but we'll take the points as we need them
Ackermann somehow delivers in the end and due to this Tour performance will end up having a good season. Selimovic in 2nd and Chumil in 4th is more weird AI stuff that I feel we've seen across the season in this sort of 'hilly sprints'. Again we'll take the extra points, the Tour is already a success and I'll be fine if we chill and do nothing until the end.
These massive breaks... not sure what to think. Congrats to jandal on the win and bbl for taking yellow. I was hoping Godoy might slip out of the top 10 to open it up for him to join the breakaway later, but not there yet. Its been a very exciting race so far, looking forward to the rest of the week. Thanks Imladrik!
1) Lecuisinier is the strongest rider here by a lot. (so far)
2) The game has ideas for my team. Way too many and doesnt know how to decide or execute any of them.
Honestly ridiculous we're in yellow right now. What a change of fortune. An incredible feat for Skjelmose in his first Tour. The randomness really does help outsiders sometimes. We don't really have a team to control the race, and this is ripe for everyone to blow up tomorrow, but I'm just going to enjoy it for now. Gaining the yellow jersey on Ventoux is an amazing achievment for our team, and with a home grown Danish rider. It means a lot.
Hope the favorites start taking charge soon for their managers' sake! But I'll enjoy this one for now.
Thanks for the report!
