Okay, let's get it straight. I bought PCM17 which is my first PCM game since 2010 (not counting any TdF games), and I want to hear from you, what would you like to see as a "story". I probably won't be doing great story posts as other are doing as my english isn't that great. And I'm lazy .
My idea's:
Some sort of National Team starting from Continental.
Be a Pro: 19-years old Grand Champion sprinter.
Do you have any ideas you would like to see? Post them below! I'll start posting anything about a "story" as soon as possible.

I have two ideas - Be a Pro story about young rider, who will be future northern classics specialist, and story about Dimension Data continental team (if this database contains this team). |

Random generator is random. Also, why not.
Ladies and gentleman, please welcome 19-years old Norwegian Jonas Duurhuus!
When I saw that name I had to choose it.
Height - 181 cm
Weight - 72 kg
His strong point are Northern classics. As it will be my first serious play in "be a pro" mode, he is a future Grand Champion.
His stats at the start his great (I believe) career are below:
He could choose a contract from one of those 3 teams:
He decided to be a part of his national creation so his first season will be in a Continental Team FixIT.no:

First season: January - March
Trofej Umag - Umag Trophy | | 1.2 | 01/03 | Paris - Troyes | | 1.2 | 12/03 | Tour de Normandie | | 2.2 | 20/03 - 26/03 |
1.2 Trofej Umag - Umag Trophy 01/03
First race in my career and already it was pretty nice. Two buddies from team went into breakaway. It was tough, because it was maximum 3 minutes. But it was enough for them! H. Sandal was 7th and E. Spikseth 10th. Good for them. I finished my first race 27th.
1.2 Paris - Troyes 12/03
Second race and another breakaway. This time peloton completely lost it. At some point it was almost 30 minutes! I decided to take it by myself and I tried to managed the tempo. Four cyclists in a breakaway and +22'52" over the peloton. That was sick. Yet still pretty decent from me - 35th. Maybe I should go for a breakaway?
2.2 Tour de Normandie 20/03 - 26/03
7 completely flat stages. But I'm not a sprinter. I want to win Paris - Roubaix... 5 times!
Here are my results stage-by-stage:
Stage 1 | 4.8km | 69. | +16" | Stage 2 | 190km | 126. | s.t | Stage 3 | 82km | 7. | s.t | Stage 4 | 70km | 36. | s.t | Stage 5 | 184km | 27. | s.t | Stage 6 | 156km | 29. | +58" | Stage 7 | 130km | 9. | s.t |
You could be thinking... What place in GC it is. Well... On second stage I was with 6 other guys in a breakaway but we were caught 19km from the finish. I decided to try it next day again! This time it was 8 riders. And I was in that group. It was tough. I didn't have a chance in the sprint but I finished on 7th place. That gave me 6th place in GC. Stage 6 was another successful breakaway. But thanks to some gap in the peloton I got myself into 4th place in GC. Last stage was really nice. 9th place in a mass sprint is good thing for future.
General Classification:
Next step: Two U23 races in Italy! |

Thanks!
Now it is a time for two U23 races in a Italy.
1.2U23 Trofeo PIVA 02/04
On this day I wasn't feeling well. I had bad day and also it isn't exactly my terrain. I was doing my best but 50th place isn't what I wanted. But it was what my team wanted from me - top 50. A. Jacobsen was 10th and J. Breivold 15th. Good for them!
Now it's time for another flat classic. I think I can do much better here.
1.2U23 Giro Belvedere di Villa di Cordignano 17/04
Today I feel much better than in previous race. My team expected from me top 30 finish. Well, there was a climb at the crucial point of the race. I tried to be at the front, but my ability of climbing short climbs isn't still that great as I want it to be. On first climb I almost lost touch with the peloton, so on second ascend I tried to not make that mistake again. I hold on the front of the peloton, but breakaway was still upfront. At the end I finished 5th from peloton! Yet still breakaway was before us. At the end, great 9th place!
See you in France again. This time in Le Tour de Bretagne Cycliste!
btw. I decided to post daily updates. It doesn't mean I play only two races. Right now I'm at the beginning of July trying to sign contract for next season. That is just in case I was to lazy/had to much other stuff to do. Then I can post earlier prepared posts. |

2.2 Le Tour de Bretagne Cycliste 24/04 - 30/04
Again a race with 7 flat stages. Can I repeat my 4th place from France here?
Stage 1 wasn't that lucky. 19km from a finish there was massive crash. Many riders lost some time there. So do I. Luckily I was okay after crash. There was a big chaos after it. Peloton almost split into 3 groups. At the final sprint I was at the front again so 11th place is nice opening.
Stage 2 & 3 were an all day breakaways from me. Team wanted it, not me. I lost a lot of energy and it wasn't worth. I came last... twice. I'll take a rest and try to do something on coming stages on the finish.
From other stages only stage 4 and 7 were notable - 12th & 11th place.
Stage | | GC | | 11. | s.t | 14. | +10" | 118. | +6'52" | 118. | +7'08" | 118. | +2'42" | 118. | +9'50" | 12. | s.t | 118. | +9'50" | 56. | s.t | 115. | +9'58" | 33. | s.t | 115. | +9'57" | 11. | s.t | 111. | +9'59" |
Not the best race in my career, but I hope that my form will improve as Paris-Roubaix Espoirs is next month! |

Hard next days. Just after not good Le Tour de Bretagne Cycliste transport to Denmark for some classics. And then to my home country for last preperations before the Hell of the North U23.
1.2 Skive Lobet 01/05
Today I was working for our leader Matti Manninen as my fitness isn't at top level. Yet still hard classics are before me.
1 | Takaaki Higuchi | Team Ukyo | 3h43'03 | 2 | Jose Gutiérrez | Kuwait - Cartucho.es | s.t. | 3 | Rasmus Quaade | Team Giant - Castelli | s.t. | 4 | Jesper Christensen | Riwal - Platform Cycling Team | s.t. | 5 | Torkil Veyhe | ColoQuick - CULT | s.t. | 6 | Mathias Bregnhoj | BHS - Almeborg Bornholm | s.t. | 7 | Erik Sandersson | Team Tre Berg - PostNord | s.t. | 8 | Anton Tunset | Team Coop | s.t. | 9 | Patrick Lane | IsoWhey Sports - SwissWellness | s.t. | 10 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Joker - Icopal | s.t. | ... | ... | ... | ... | 59 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | s.t. |
1.2 Himmerland Rundt 02/05
I'm tired. My freshness was only on about 45% I think. I still need to learn a lot. Today again it was hard working at the front for our leader.
1 | Barry Markus | Pauwels - Vastgoedservice | 4h07'06 | 2 | Romain Feillu | HP BTP - Auber 93 | s.t. | 3 | Steven Tronet | Equipe Cycliste Armée de Terre | s.t. | 4 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Joker - Icopal | s.t. | 5 | Yannis Yssaad | Equipe Cycliste Armée de Terre | s.t. | 6 | Marco Zanotti | Monkey Town Continental Team | s.t. | 7 | Stéphane Poulhies | Equipe Cycliste Armée de Terre | s.t. | 8 | Rasmus Wallin | ColoQuick - CULT | s.t. | 9 | Mathias Bregnhoj | BHS - Almeborg Bornholm | s.t. | 10 | Alexander Kamp | Team VéloConcept | s.t. | ... | ... | ... | ... | 53 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | s.t. |
1.2 Destination Thy - Concordia GP 03/05
Last day of racing and few days of break before starts in my home country. Finally! Third day of flat classics and again hard working for our leader.
At the last 20 km I decided to fight for myself and tried to get a good place. My effort results in a 6th place! Just look at this!
1 | Filippo Fortin | Tirol Cycling Team | 4h15'13 | 2 | Dieter Bouvry | Pauwels - Vastgoedservice | s.t. | 3 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Joker - Icopal | s.t. | 4 | Brenton Jones | JLT - Condor | s.t. | 5 | Barry Markus | Pauwels - Vastgoedservice | s.t. | 6 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | s.t. | 7 | Alexander Kamp | Team VéloConcept | s.t. | 8 | Jan-Willem Van Schip | Delta Cycling Rotterdam | s.t. | 9 | Sebastian Schönberger | Tirol Cycling Team | s.t. | 10 | Gerry Druyts | Pauwels - Vastgoedservice | s.t. |
Maybe I should become sprinter at some point?
1.2 Sundvolden GP 07/05
Now it's a hilly classic. Not my terrain, but I done my best. Which was coming last. Seriously. I should stop thinking of riding hilly races for some time.
1 | Alexander Kamp | Team VéloConcept | 4h48'19 | 2 | Jhonatan Narvaez | Axeon - Hagens Berman | s.t. | 3 | Andreas Vangstad | Team Sparebanken Sor | s.t. | 4 | Chris Anker Sorensen | Riwal - Platform Cycling Team | + 13 | 5 | Kristoffer Skjerping | Joker - Icopal | s.t. | 6 | Björn Thurau | Kuwait - Cartucho.es | s.t. | 7 | Adrien Costa | Axeon - Hagens Berman | s.t. | 8 | Carl Fredrik Hagen | Joker - Icopal | s.t. | 9 | Davide Rebellin | Kuwait - Cartucho.es | s.t. | 10 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Joker - Icopal | + 43 | ... | ... | ... | ... | 129 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | + 22'34 |
1.2 Berner Rundfahrt 09/05
Another hilly race. So I wasn't riding very hard. Just to get to the line.
1 | Alexander Kamp | Team VéloConcept | 4h57'21 | 2 | Colin Stüssi | Roth - Akros | s.t. | 3 | Matej Mugerli | Amplatz - BMC | s.t. | 4 | Robin Carpenter | Holowesko - Citadel Racing | s.t. | 5 | Marek Rutkiewicz | Wibatech - 7R Fuji | s.t. | 6 | Roland Thalmann | Roth - Akros | s.t. | 7 | Nathan Earle | Team Ukyo | s.t. | 8 | Danilo Celano | Amore & Vita - Selle SMP | s.t. | 9 | Rodrigo Araque | Team Ukyo | s.t. | 10 | Salvador Guardiola | Team Ukyo | s.t. | ... | ... | ... | ... | 116 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | + 12'23 |

Here we comes!
Let's take a look on a little interview with me:
Zoom on... Jonas Duurhuus!
(and you lost your house... oh, nevermind!)
Also I'm one of top favourites!
It's time to show the world what I can do!
1.2U23 Paris - Roubaix Espoirs 31/05
I was a leader for my team, but I had only 3 teammates. One of them withdrawal from race after crash not much later after start.
So I had only two of them. They were working really hard for me and I'm thankful for that, but with 50km left I was the only one from my team.
With 20km left I decided to manage the tempo.
With 15km left there were only 28 riders upfront.
10km left and 32 riders in first group. I was waiting for a final section.
26 riders in a Velodrome at Roubaix! Who will win?
Oh...
1 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Joker - Icopal | 4h38'27 | 2 | Callum Scotson | BMC Development Team | s.t. | 3 | Michael Carbel | Team VéloConcept | s.t. | 4 | Fabio Jakobsen | SEG Racing Academy | s.t. | 5 | Jim Lindenburg | Metec - TKH p/b Mantel | s.t. | 6 | Gabriel Cullaigh | SEG Racing Academy | s.t. | 7 | Pavel Sivakov | BMC Development Team | s.t. | 8 | Aaron Verwilst | Lotto U23 | s.t. | 9 | Christopher Lawless | Axeon - Hagens Berman | s.t. | 10 | Bram Welten | BMC Development Team | s.t. | 11 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | s.t. |
I still need to learn a lot. I made some stupid mistakes, but also I'm not the fastest guy in the peloton. I want to believe that next time I'll win! |

In both those races together there is only 1 flat stage. This is going to be exciting...

Now another really hard race. Nothing good to come I think.
2.2U23 Tour des Pays de Savoie 14/06 - 18/06
I made some breakaways as team wanted it from me. But nothing really good from it. No flat stages at all.

It is a time of a year when a rider need to decide whether to leave a team or sign a deal for another year. Those are teams that were interested in signing me.
I'm still to weak to ride in Pro Continental Team so I decided first of all to stay in my current team for another year. Then I'll think about 2 year contract in Pro Continental Division.
Now another stage race. Four flat stages and one hilly.
2.2 Course Cycliste de Solidarność 01/07 - 05/07
Stage 1 was another all day breakaway. This time I was caught just few kms from the finish.

Stage 2: Another breakaway. I couldn't get caught anything closer... But... What's this?

Yes! My first victory in my career! What a way to do it! I'm second in GC also! Maybe I should try in a Pro Continental Team then?
Stage 3 and calm riding in a peloton in a green jersey! I was trying to ride on Banaszek wheel for a sprint but couldn't hold it. 9th place is still good result.

Stage 4 and hilly one. This time in white jersey. Yet another breakaway. This time because there were two intermediate sprints and I was going for green jersey. Didn't expect Banaszek to be second on the finish.

My last two races this season.
2.1 Tour des Fjords 01/09 - 05/09
Very important race for our team. Four flat stages and one hilly. Team Sky (with forth tier riders) and Team Lotto NL - Jumbo (with first tier riders like Boom, Lobato, Campenaerts) on the startlist. For the first time I think I'm fighting against top teams in the world!
Stage 1:
1 | Juan José Lobato | Team Lotto NL - Jumbo | 4h12'06 | 2 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Joker - Icopal | s.t. | 3 | André Looij | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | 4 | Fridtjof Roinas | Team Sparebanken Sor | s.t. | 5 | Lars Boom | Team Lotto NL - Jumbo | s.t. | 6 | Bert Van Lerberghe | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | 7 | Pim Ligthart | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | 8 | Edward Planckaert | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | 9 | August Jensen | Team Coop | s.t. | 10 | Nicolai Brochner | Riwal - Platform Cycling Team | s.t. | 26 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | s.t. |
Stage 2. I was in a breakaway. And honestly I didn't expect that we could actually have a chance for a win. But when you are 1'30" upfront - 10kms from the finish - in a breakaway, you think you can do it. Yes, I was really tired at that point. Tired of a season.:
1 | Louis Bendixen | ColoQuick - CULT | 3h15'35 | 2 | Tobias Kongstad | Riwal - Platform Cycling Team | s.t. | 3 | Thomas Pidcock | Team Sky | s.t. | 4 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | s.t. | 5 | Pontus Kastemyr | Team Tre Berg - PostNord | s.t. | 6 | Casper Von Folsach | Team Giant - Castelli | s.t. | 7 | Ole Andre Austevoll | Team Coop | s.t. | 8 | Alexander Kamp | Team VéloConcept | + 1'12 | 9 | André Looij | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | 10 | Lars Boom | Team Lotto NL - Jumbo | s.t. |
Stage 3:
1 | Bjorn Tore Hoem | Joker - Icopal | 3h57'19 | 2 | Pim Ligthart | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | 3 | Andreas Vangstad | Team Sparebanken Sor | s.t. | 4 | Juan José Lobato | Team Lotto NL - Jumbo | s.t. | 5 | Alexander Kamp | Team VéloConcept | s.t. | 6 | Lars Boom | Team Lotto NL - Jumbo | s.t. | 7 | Rasmus Guldhammer | Team VéloConcept | s.t. | 8 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Joker - Icopal | s.t. | 9 | Salvatore Puccio | Team Sky | s.t. | 10 | Tobias Kongstad | Riwal - Platform Cycling Team | s.t. | 61 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | + 5'45 |
Stage 4. Another day, another breakaway. Again it was close as we got caught only 8kms from the finish.:
1 | Juan José Lobato | Team Lotto NL - Jumbo | 3h54'37 | 2 | Alexander Kamp | Team VéloConcept | s.t. | 3 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Joker - Icopal | s.t. | 4 | Pim Ligthart | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | 5 | Fridtjof Roinas | Team Sparebanken Sor | s.t. | 6 | Nicolai Brochner | Riwal - Platform Cycling Team | s.t. | 7 | Bert Van Lerberghe | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | 8 | Louis Bendixen | ColoQuick - CULT | s.t. | 9 | Piet Allegaert | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | 10 | Tobias Kongstad | Riwal - Platform Cycling Team | s.t. | 65 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | s.t. |
Stage 5. You know what? Breakaway! I need to keep my director satisfied. Easy "+2%". 9kms from the finish it was +1'10". Another chance for a win? So close...:
1 | Ludvik Holstad | Team Sparebanken Sor | 3h45'18 | 2 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | s.t. | 3 | Mads Rahbek | Team VéloConcept | + 19 | 4 | André Looij | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | 5 | Jakob Egholm | Team Giant - Castelli | s.t. | 6 | Edward Planckaert | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | 7 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Joker - Icopal | s.t. | 8 | Alexander Kamp | Team VéloConcept | s.t. | 9 | Kevin Deltombe | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | s.t. | 10 | Torkil Veyhe | ColoQuick - CULT | s.t. |
General Classification:
1 | Tobias Kongstad | Riwal - Platform Cycling Team | 19h05'08 | 2 | Thomas Pidcock | Team Sky | + 2 | 3 | Juan José Lobato | Team Lotto NL - Jumbo | + 58 | 4 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Joker - Icopal | + 1'08 | 5 | Bjorn Tore Hoem | Joker - Icopal | s.t. | 6 | Alexander Kamp | Team VéloConcept | + 1'12 | 7 | Pim Ligthart | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | s.t. | 8 | Piet Allegaert | Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise | + 1'13 | 9 | André Looij | Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij | + 1'14 | 10 | Andreas Vangstad | Team Sparebanken Sor | s.t. | 45 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | + 5'17 |
Also forth place in points classification:
1 | Juan José Lobato | Team Lotto NL - Jumbo | 1 | 65 | 2 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Joker - Icopal | 9 | 53 | 3 | Alexander Kamp | Team VéloConcept | 8 | 53 | 4 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | 38 | 52 |
So now there is only one race left for me.
1.2U23 Paris - Tours Espoirs 11/10
Another U23 race. My objective was to finish inside top 50. That wasn't really hard as it is a flat classic. But breakaway was faster. I was also trying to hold Halvorsen wheel, but he is much better than me.
1 | Mirko Iafrati | GM - Europa Ovini | 3h55'25 | 2 | Rob Van Broekhoven | Destil - Jo Piels Cycling Team | s.t. | 3 | Hugo Pigeon | Chambéry Cyclisme Formation | s.t. | 4 | Christopher Lawless | Axeon - Hagens Berman | s.t. | 5 | Kristoffer Halvorsen | Joker - Icopal | s.t. | 6 | Yann Pestiaux | AGO - Aqua Service | s.t. | 7 | William Barta | Axeon - Hagens Berman | s.t. | 8 | Dmitry Ponkratov | Novo Nordisk Development | s.t. | 9 | Florian Maître | Vendée U | s.t. | 10 | Pierre Barbier | BMC Development Team | s.t. | 18 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | s.t. |
Some sort of summary, tomorrow! |

Now it is a time for a summary of my first season. Let's take a look at my results: (Warning! It's a big photo, that's why in spoiler)
Tell me. Do you like it? I now think results in PCM looks so nice that why not use it as one big photo with my results?
I have to say that I'm actually pretty impressed with that. I already have my first win in my career. Also some pretty nice top 10 places. But, there were also flops. Like Paris-Roubaix U23. Main favourite and outside of top 10. I think I need little more flat races to ride next season. I'm to weak for mountainous stages, but some hilly are not that hard as I expected. That's why I stay in my current team for next season. A lot potentially flat races or classics. This time I'll focus on my stamina and other stats like that.
But! That's not all for today.

Classics winners:
Btw. Sagan has 3 WCs in his pocket, but game still doesn't recognise this as 3 wins.

@Martii_Scots01: Will try, but I don't think there will be much more to say. Especially now when it's still only Continental Division. My role for about 90% of the time is "go for a breakaway" which means If I won't do that, I will not get points for my progress. When I do, it's like 5 pts. If I'm going to do this every stage I would be 100% tired after March/April just when my main races are. Usually I'm to weak to manage good sprint, or profile is to hard for me. Yet sometimes I can finish inside top 10. Will try
2018
First of all, my stats progress:
I will give you my stats progress year-by-year.

Let's ready to Rum... Ride!
1.1 Valence Drome Classic 26/02
There were some climbs in this race, so I didn't expect good result from me. I'm still not in form as it's my first race this year. Six riders in a breakaway, no one from my team. I was a free element so I decided to save my energy to final kms.
1 | Pierre Rolland | Cannondale - Drapac | 4h41'16 | 2 | Adrien Petit | Total | s.t. | 3 | Guillaume Martin | Wanty - Groupe Gobert | s.t. | 4 | Pieter Vanspeybrouck | Wanty - Groupe Gobert | s.t. | 5 | Kanstantsin Siutsou | Bahrain - Merida | s.t. | 6 | Stefano Pirazzi | Cannondale - Drapac | s.t. | 7 | Ben O'Connor | Team Dimension Data | s.t. | 8 | Guillaume Thevenot | Cannondale - Drapac | s.t. | 9 | Tom Van Asbroeck | Cannondale - Drapac | s.t. | 10 | Yoeri Havik | Team Raleigh - GAC | s.t. | 70 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | s.t. |
I lost a lot of energy at those climbs so I was not fighting in the finish. Yet I was the best from my team.
1.2 Paris - Troyes 12/03
Another flat classic. This time we had a leader for mass sprint as F. Roinas was even described as "*" at the start! Well, he has 75 in sprint! Just 3 riders in a breakaway.
1 | Yannick Martinez | Delko - Marseille Provence | 3h42'43 | 2 | Jérémy Lecroq | Roubaix - Lille Métropole | + 28 | 3 | Johann Bordes | Astana City | s.t. | 4 | David Menut | HP BTP - Auber 93 | s.t. | 5 | Julien Morice | Equipe Cycliste Armée de Terre | s.t. | 6 | Fabio Jakobsen | SEG Racing Academy | s.t. | 7 | Fridtjof Roinas | Team FixIT.no | s.t. | 8 | August Jensen | Team Coop | s.t. | 9 | Maik Van Der Heijden | Destil - Jo Piels Cycling Team | s.t. | 10 | Henrik Sandal | Team FixIT.no | s.t. | 11 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | s.t. |
I did my job pretty well as Roinas had great position for a sprint. But he isn't probably in form as he was even second at some point and at the finish was 7th... Yet, 11th place from me! |

If you are a grand champion potential cobble rider you could also train on hills for a while since your potential there will probably mean a limit of 72+ |

@ruben, Thanks for the info! Never played Be a Pro Mode before. But at the point of my career I'm now it might be a moment to train hills. And I'm in the middle of season 3 .
Last year I was 4th in general classification. Can I repeat that?

Before last stage I could say that this race wasn't as good as last year. There were some successful breakaways, but I wasn't part of them. There was just no difference at the finish between breakaway and the peloton. I was two times in a breakaway, but nothing really happened. So was this race a flop? Not really. There was still stage number 7... I decided to put one of our riders as my "sprint train". You can see this below.
What happened? This happened:
1 | Jonas Duurhuus | Team FixIT.no | 2h50'34 | 2 | Jérémy Lecroq | Roubaix - Lille Métropole | s.t. | 3 | Yannick Martinez | Delko - Marseille Provence | s.t. | 4 | Michael Carbel | Team VéloConcept | s.t. | 5 | Marco Zanotti | Tarteletto - Isorex | s.t. | 6 | David Van Der Poel | BHS - Almeborg Bornholm | s.t. | 7 | Bastien Duculty | Equipe Cycliste Armée de Terre | s.t. | 8 | Logan Owen | Axeon - Hagens Berman | s.t. | 9 | Jeff Vermeulen | Rally Cycling | s.t. | 10 | Trond Trondsen | Team Sparebanken Sor | s.t. |
My second victory! Yay!
General Classification:

Not as good race as last year if it comes for GC. But! A stage win is also great! |
