If Holloway significantly improve his place in point competition and Rujano maintain 7th overall, I´ll be happy (definitely not so happy like SotD, but anyway) 
Well no offense but that is also an extraordinary good race for you. To have Rujano do a GC like this against this competitions bodes very well for your PT chances. Holloway is a slightly better sprinter than Guerao on sprintstages this flat, but Guerao got the home bonus as does Contador. That was basically why I brought them both 
And to think I was going to trade him off in a direct swap for Tenorio

Indeed, too late on the attack - but crucially taking 2nd ahead of Amador to at least take a podium spot. Lucrative race for Festina, and this might not be the only big Spanish race that Contador could win this year.
Ohh. I wonder if this means that Madrazo isn't racing the Vuelta this season? Cause if he is Contador stands no chance

Some surprising points from Nerz and teams classification, though not quite making up what VDB could've done.
Not too bad in terms of breakaway presence though, and 5th best team is good, though obviously due to the race clash.

Thanks for great reporting roturn!
Due to last sprint Holloway managed to gain some extra points, so I´m happy as announced
Q: when two riders has same points in point/mountain competition, they achieve same amount of points, right?

Very pleased with Amador's performance. There were a few guys that should have beat him, but didn't
Good race too, very exciting. Great work roturn!

That would have included some money though?

Dave Z showing his worth again, since it would had been a bit sad to lose that 12th place Roche had!
It's been a great experience to be a part in a race of this caliber, and I'm hopeful that Roche can do something good in either Fletche or Liege!
Thanks for the reports Roturn, they've been top notch and congratulations to the winners of the different competitions

We hadn't worked it out, but I had the spare cash and the cap space to do it.

Contador's first ever stage race victory in the ManGame. Quite a contrast to real life!

Whatever the field, Contador should at least podium. And with a little bit of luck, who knows?

not totally sure as it is some time ago.
But I think Zabriskie sprinted to avoid his group to lose time. Roche sprinted to avoid time to this group. So in total you probably took care of one group instead of three groups. |

I'd be disappointed, but JJ Haedo is my top rider at Paris-Nice

Ahh okay, still nice that nothing happened in regard to a problematic time loss!
