We are in Holland for the 6 stage Olympia's Tour. The opening Team Time Test may just hold a few keys for the overall, the winner may not hold the jersey for long due to time bonifications over the sprinters week. But the sprinters may fins the Amstel Gold like last stage too difficult for them.

... reveals a number of top class sprinters namely:
Swift (100% Me), Chicchi (Falcon), Bozic (Pendletons), Markov (Tinkoff), Loddo (Pirelli), Hutarovich (Intesa), Mohs (Pokerstars), Giaux (Ikea) and Forera (Milka)
Some of these can go up climbs okay, Bozic and Swift for example and some will struggle on that final day. There are some hilly riders here just for that stage:
Kirylenka (Tinkoff), Gerrans (Petronas), Clement (Pokerstars), Flugal + Larsson (Ikea) and Froome (100% Me).
Should be an interesting race.
Race Schedule: TTT will be posted tomorrow evening (Monday), then stages 2 + 3 on Tuesday, stages 4 + 5 on Wednesday and stage 6 on Thursday evening. Next weekend the Dutch Food Valley Classic is due to be run! |

Horrible midseason so far. Greipel sucks. (Just to mention the biggest disappointment in the cont-man-game)

Loddo is performing quite well but sometimes I feel it would be smarter just to sprint at the end of the stages...Now it's also soon time for Bernucci to shine, since the last stage should really suit him.

Mohs with Kluge didn´t bothered to sprint for stage or what? I think that leader jersey is rather for annoyance...

have a question regarding point system...atm Mohs is leading both GC and Point rankings...does it mean he automatically achives 6+3 points for every day, until he loose them?
if so, I´d be really happy, although he can´t win any stage
