The first discussion topic appears to have dissapeared, so here is version 2.

Hoping for a shocker for my team on the last stage.

Why Gajek isn`t seen as sprinter by the game. This totally sucks. 3 sprints and no top 100 if I remember right.
He surely has outsider chances for a late top10, which would be fine for me. But without even trying... |

Hope Bosisio can somehow nurse Ascani up the final climb to get Vespa a decent overall result. Sprint competition too tough for Gatto. My priority transfers wise I think will be a sprinter. |

@ Fenian: You can have all my sprinters. 
@ kami: I don`t expect him to sprint for the win or podium, but at least trying to sprint would be nice. Riders like Hermans or Boom are far better sprinters than Baumann, Cucinotta, Gajek so far for some reason. |

The same with Vedel Kvist. Far better secondary stats as well, but no single sprint participation. At least he won't be on his own often this season, but if we don't build sprint trains for Bennati, his signing was useless.
But I stop complaining, Rolland has a real chance for a great GC result.

Well, but they guarantee a good position and give the manager a good feeling

Quite good TT by Hushovd! And Chicchi keeps on making top 5 atleast.
But I guess that´s all from our team, will be hard getting anything for the last stage maybe if we are lucky we have the right man in the right breakaway... |

I can´t agree, it´s really frustrating to see great sprint train almost every flat stage and results are such awkward

To be honest, I don't mind when sprint trains don't work out
In fairness though, the team that produces the sprint train often deserves the most out of a stage, though PCM logic usually means that's not the way it works out.

Great stage, SN. I truly enjoyed that one.
Ignatiev continues to disappoint, Volkswagen is back on track for promotion, and Jayco continues being strong, with 4 riders in top 12, but no one on the podium
And congratulations to Proximus and Waghlon, who took advantage of the brutal hill. |

That was a great stage, though a complete and unmittigated disaster for us...
Congrats to Reus for that great win though.

Volkswagen on the way up again?
A huge disappointment for me as I hoped to do better. No participation in the sprints and also no one in front in this hilly stage. Couldn`t be much worse.
Just Novak`s shared KoM jersey is nice... |

Glad Richardson did something; Mandri and Van Der Velde were miles down.
Still, two stages and the points jersey is more than I anticipated, so a good race all round.
Congrats to proximus and to VW for their respective wins, too.

Wow, that was much better than I could even imagine. Top 10 on the stage and Top 10 overall. Nice surprise there.
Seems like Santambrogio was one of my better signings.

Just have to keep plugging away. 3rd is better than I had anticipated, although a stage win from Haedo would have been nice. Haedo did take a healthy points haul though. Keeping our points per race day ratio up could prove problematic when the longer stage races roll around in the 2nd half. Fingers crossed that the last stage of Turkey confirms Zirbel's win, though I'm not sure the points haul there will be as good as needed to forestall our inevitable slide into obscurity.

I can live with that for Bosisio.
Pity Petrie-Armstrong made no effort for the KOM points there. |
