again a 3th place for Grillo. He now has the points jersey and is only 1sec behind the GC leader |

I bet that means crashing into Seb. Chavanel.

Why would that matter? Aleksei Markov is your team's lead sprinter at the race.

Yeah, but Chavanel is the only that have so far made a top 10 position AFAIK (that is, if you ignore the TTT).

What about Markov getting 4th in Stage 2?

yup and a good one too,
have to agree very weird tactics by the Nippo train, that was the assistant's fault as i had to go to Kwik-Save for half an hour and left him in charge
anyway to be fair we are dominating, just not winning
3 Jean-Patrick Nazon NIPPO CORPORATION - MEITAN HOMPO CO. LTD - ASADA
9 Graeme Brown NIPPO CORPORATION - MEITAN HOMPO CO. LTD - ASADA s.t.
10 Ivan Quaranta NIPPO CORPORATION - MEITAN HOMPO CO. LTD - ASADA s.t.
15 Mariusz Wiesiak NIPPO CORPORATION - MEITAN HOMPO CO. LTD - ASADA s.t.
20 René Haselbacher NIPPO CORPORATION - MEITAN HOMPO CO. LTD - ASADA s.t.
still not as i had hoped, and it probably won't get much better, but we have hope

Wiesiak was superb then but its a shame that Quaranta never tries to get in position, he is always charging forwards from a bit of a way back.

you cant say your dominating, when your teams antics in the train cost everyone else who was probably going to overtake you, including me

Not a good stage for Panaria. Grillo lost Points jersey and is now 9 seconds behind GC leader Casper. I need to hope on a stage win from Grillo with Casper not taking points. But I think Casper will win... He's really good. |

Actually, I think their tactics wrecked a win for Nazon but yes, it meant that most riders missed out on doing better. But its their fault for sticking in the train. Traksel did well yet again thanks to his own train and the fact that he is doing so well with 76 sprint must make him one of the 'shocks' of the season.

my prediction is that Nippo will win the next stage
and i'm sorry if they ruined team's chances but as i said, i left my assistant in charge while i nipped out to Kwik-Save

I smell B-S that was your tactic all along

Yeh! Addy did it purposefully so he has all but ended any hope of an overall victory! That makes sense!
Anyway, BREAKING NEW: 11th Overall Sebastien Chavanel abandoned early on in Stage 5. The DFL rider has been disappointed with his sprints and must have injured himself when crashing heavily in Stage 3.

Well, he really got a superb form. If he had like 78 in sprint he would have won every race. He has improved his placing in Qatar every race now from 6th to 5th to 4th. Do you see the pattern?
