This edition of the TDF is a different one, with:
--- 9 stages over 200 kilometres in length
--- 90 kilometres of TT's (including a 36 kilometre cobbled TTT and a final stage 41 km TT)
--- 2 cobbled stages
--- Half a dozen mountain top finishes
Definitely not a TDF for the pure climbers which does put our leader, Sicard, at a bit of a disadvantage. Such a route may lead to some big surprises.
Our Team:
We bring a strong team to this edition of the TDF. Sicard is our leader and we are going for a top 5 finish with aspirations of finishing on the podium. With Feillu and Hivert being our only weak men against the clock we hope to destroy the field in the TTT in the first week.
Sicard, when working for A Duran at Rabobank, in the 2019 TDF finished 10th. This route doesn't suit him but a top 5 is our target.
Although Sicard is our absolute leader we bring great men for the flat and late attacks such as Cartillo and Gallopin. Bruyere may even have a chance of the white jersey but that is a long shot.
Our goals for this TDF:
------ Top 5 in the GC
---- 3 stage victories
-- Win 1 jersey
Six of the best:
Pinot, having won two GT's, is the big favourite but these six can't be counted out.
-- K Elissonde --- He won last year's edition and has proven he can handle the cobbles.
I Salas --- He showed well in the Giro and won his last stage race, is this the year of Salas?
F Duarte --- No doubt one of the most gifted climbers recently, however, with issues on the flat he may come unstuck.
Y Eijssen --- He hasn't reached the same heights as when he beat Schleck by '1 in the 2015 TDF but he can't be counted out.
A Schleck --- A 3 time winner of the TDF, but has he still got it in him?
C Barton --- After out climbing Pinot on the stage to Mont Ventoux in the Dauphine this American looks in scintillating form.
Also with puncheurs such as Pere and Van der Sande, fighters such as Boom and quick men such as Kittel and Cavendish all present this will be one quality and action packed TDF for certain. I hope Qatar Optics can leave one big mark here.
@ duxili ---- The Ajaccio prologue is almost upon us. 
@ sutty68 --- All is well 1000 posts  , If you missed them the NC results are on the previous page.

A week ago as I was lost in China I daren't imagine that 1 week later I would be fishing with my Son, Eddie, and daughter, Sophie, in a serine location by the coast of Ajaccio as the evening sun began to set on the eve of the TDF start.
It was great way to calm myself ahead of a hectic period with the TDF and the transfer period soon to be starting. It was half an hour before Sophie finally caught a minnow, our only catch of the trip. I went for a brisk half an hour run along the sandy shoal before returning to the hotel for the night. The calm before the storm.
@ Sutty - It is bound to be a good one. |

Almost missed the NC previous page: tx sutty for noticing 
Hope you'll get enough money to keep the Russian guy next year...
Well too much fishing in France so I am not surprised you had a hard time getting any
As for TdF, could you repost the team, it is so small I have trouble reading your team (even when clicking, I cannot enlarge, do I miss something here?)
And I'll support French, between Sicard, Thibaut and Ellisonde, I hope to have picked he winner

STAGE 1: Ajaccio - Ajaccio 8 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Roux(FDJ) **Craddock(JDE) *Van Garderen(JDE)
A flat prologue kicks off this TDF.
What a moment for Roger Bruyere our young Frenchman must have been covered in goose bumps as he set off the ramp.
Newly crowned Belgian champ, de Gendt, was our best finisher on the day in 6th.... well down on the stage winner but '2 seconds up on Pinot who was the best placed GC man in 7th.
But there was no doubt about the stage winner. Darling of the French, Roux, catches and passes his minute man, Denis Vanendert on to a fantastic stage win and he will wear the yellow jersey as we enter July and stage 2.

This is not your typical TDF stage 2 but then again this isn't your typical TDF. This stage has over 4300 metres of climbing and no less than 10 categorised climbs. The run in is lumpy and should see a big group of GC men contest the finish.
Al Ghanim is given the privilege of starting on the front row as the TDF properly gets started.
A quality five men break clear including: Booth, Danish champ Lander and Alafaci . Alafaci would amass a decent amount of KOM points and would lead the mountains comp at the end of the day.
Super puncheurs van der Sande and Pere were on the front of the peloton sacrificing their own chances for Salasas the break's maximum advantage of 10:00 is cut ever deeper.
The break are caught and we only have one small climb left with 10 kilometres to go when the French champ, Jeannesson, attacks. De Gendt and Gautier are the next to attack but don't get away with the fast pace on the front of the peloton.
Pinot and Dan Martin are the next to attack. Realising the danger we commit De Gendt and Hivert to bring back this dangerous move. A group of about 77 would contest the final sprint.
Kreuziger is the fastest and takes stage 2. Roux holds the yellow and we finish with 2 in the top 10, a good sign for days to come.

STAGE 3: Porto Vecchio - Bastia 223 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Sagan(GPM) **Gautier(RIB) *Battaglin(BSC)
Another hard stage is here as the Col d'Ospedale will be ridden, a sharp hill which summits 12 kilometres from the finish and the fact the last 30 kilometres are difficult suggest a very small group of GC men will get to the finish.
After classic man Lander got into the break yesterday, today Belgian champ Maes gets in to the five men break.
The break stood little chance and were caught by the time Gautier attacked with 25 kilometres to go, Duarte, Jeannesson and Battaglin also attack before being brought back.
Onto the final climb and with Herbalife setting the pace we unleash de Gendt, showing great form he creates a gap before Gautier and Duarte pass him.
The two will be caught on the descent by Pinot and we have a 16 man GC group fast approaching the finish, we have Sicard and de Gendt present.
Uran looks to have the win but slows up...teammate/leader Gautier just passes him for the win.. Nevertheless it is a 1-2 for Ribena.
Thanks to the guys up in GC being dropped all this means DE GENDT IS THE NEW YELLOW JERSEY. What a day for Qatar Optics.
It looks like we will be defending the jersey as we head into 2 days of cobbles. You know what they say: the best defence is offence.

-- Thanks MrUFo for another great NC.
@ Krisa - Luck is always appreciated.
@ duxili - I'm sure a Frenchman will win again. I changed the screenshots. @ sutty68 - Thanks. |

Great to see that you've won some nc's! And even better to see that De Gendt is in yellow!

The financial problems of Qatar Optics have been well documented. But now they have taken a turn for the worse. After reviewing the financial situation of Qatar Optics the UCI has enforced a transfer embargo on our team and to think less than two years ago the company was booming.
The original contract with Qatar Optics as a sponsor ran until 2020 but after one season this contract was extended until 2022. Earlier this season it was agreed that 1 year was to be taken off that contract due to the financial situation.
ALL THIS MEANS[/b ] ... We are now looking for a co sponsor for next year unless a miracle happens and Qatar Optics becomes profitable again.
@ [b]MrUFo87 - That Belgian NC propelled him to a great result.
@ sutty68 - What a start, no stage win but we will take that yellow jersey.
@ Krisa - The Frenchman had a great prologue and looks in fantastic shape so far.

Avery good start mate, showing yourself in most stages so far, which is always a great sign. Ellisonde is a beat on here lol, if Sicard cant win i hope Ellisonde does, though i want mind Andy doing it before he gets worst. How is Quintana's stats. And who is the best GT rider stats wise, Ellisonde? |

Tx for the new screenshot by the way, I had read it lready with sutty's trick.
I guess that with such a profil de Gendt could very well do great, cooble, TT, that sounds for him, he just have to stay with the best in Mountain!
Great job so far. I guess that would help to find a co-sponsor. So 1 Qatari rider in TdF would be all you get?

STAGE 4: Bruxelles - Roubaix 187 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Sagan(GPM) **Boasson Hagen(RAB) *Lander(AGS)
We end in the historic Roubaix velodrome on this stage. This stage is by no means as difficult as a cobbled classic but the last 20 kilometres do have some punishing sections of cobbles.
We go about defending the yellow jersey for the first time in the TDF. Only a 4 man break getaway on the day and would be of no concern for the stage/GC.
It is pretty uneventful until Boom attacks out of the peloton with 60 kilometres to go then with a gap at 2:00 with 40 kilometres to go Slovenian champ, Kump, and Duval of FDJ also attack.
Of the top 20/25 GC men De Gendt is one of the better cobblers and it showed as he pulls away multiple times from the peloton thanks to Gallopin and Cartillo.
However, the yellow jersey can't sustain his efforts and gets pulled back by the GC group. Sicard is having real difficulty in staying with the GC group as out front Boom and Kump have a great advantage and would contest the stage.
In a mass of bodies on different laps of the track Boom raises his arms aloft to celebrate the stage win. Kump was very strong but was not as tactically astute as the multiple classics winner who waited until Kump had started his sprint before making his move.
Amazingly all of the GC men come in together in a big group @ 2'26. The big losers on the day are Giro winner Henao and Dan Martin. Yellow jersey remains on the shoulders of our man.

STAGE 5: Roubaix - Lille 36 KM's (TTT)
Stage Favourites:
***Gazprom **ExxonMobil *Qatar Optics
The first 20 kilometres of this TTT are riddled with cobbles, a really tough day is in store.
Many teams are out of the course and the results are steadily coming in. With riders such as Waeytens and Boasson Hagen, Rabobank have great riders for this course and it shows as they set the fastest times at all the checkpoints.
We are '42 down on Rabobank at checkpoint 1 but '23 down at checkpoint 2.
We still have 10 kilometres to go and the cobbles have really taken it out of everyone in the team apart from de Gendt: Gallopin and Cartillo. Everyone else is spent.
Despite this Sicard and LL Sanchez fight to finish in our five riders to cross the line.... we finish '4 down on Rabobank.
So it looks like second place on the day with only ExxonMobil and Herbalife to come in......
Despite not being fastest at the two checkpoints ExxonMobil manage to put a great effort in the final part of the course and are rewarded with victory.
Time gaps taken into account Frank is now level with the time of De Gendt although we hold the GC lead.
After losing time 2 days ago Eijssen is the big winner on the stage whilst Pinot and Barton, especially, will be disappointed with the performances of Katusha and Bretagne respectively.

Just 2 days after our public financial crisis we have found a co-sponsor for next season and it is the Belgian brewery Duvel beer. Representatives of the company contacted us and revealed they will take up some of the financial burden.
They just required that some Belgian riders are signed and will accept that despite being a co sponsor they are very much the minor sponsor in the partnership. The company has never sponsored a cycling team and their limited investment is a tentative first step into the cycling world. They said the 2 key reasons for their investment was de Gendt's performance so far in the TDF and the fact we have a lot of Belgian staff, myself included, at Qatar Optics.
A limited investment it may be but it guarantees the survival of Qatar Optics for another season at WT level even though the financial constraints are still very much constricting. Also we have completed the signing of former world champ Daryl Impey from pro continental team Jardar. A great way to end a very turbulent 24 hours.
@ duxili - Next year is about filling the roster with Qataris in a GT. They're just not ready yet. Sponsor problem looks to be solved with Duvel beer as a co/minor sponsor.
@ atlanta HERE ON PAGE 38
@ Atlantius - Cobbles are over now and we face 4/5 flatish before the mountains.

Good perf though cobble stage is a little dispointing for De Gendt.
TTT has been good for the team.
It is fun to have a TdF with this profile, hope they will try it before 2020 in real life 
I am looking forward the new shirt... Fun to see we got a similar aproach with our stories: a mix of Qatari and Belgium for you when I am having a mix of Chinese and Spanish

STAGE 7: Le Havre - Le Mans 228 KM's
Vandenbergh, Duval and Kump attack late on and join up with the break... and the peloton lead by Farnese Vini for Matthews are not strong enough to close down the break....
The Slovenian champion takes the win... fast becoming a household name...

STAGE 9: Tours - Poitiers 142 KM's
These stages were memorable for rouleurs such as former French champions: Feillu and Demaret getting into the breaks..... A quality break would succeed again today...
A late attack from the break by Vanmarcke is rewarded with a win he holds off the multiple classics winner.
So that wraps up the flat stages. We now have a rest day before the first mountains stage is finally here. Time for the REAL racing to start!

6 days in yellow so far for de Gendt. New sponsor for next season, Duvel, will be ecstatic no doubt. The transfer activity has started and we are starting to lose our big guns...Gallopin to ISS is the first transfer out.
@ sutty68 - Romain is our leader!
@ duxili - I thought we could win the TTT but you can't win them all!

STAGE 10: Le Chatre - Puy de Dome 164 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Pinot(KAT) **Duarte(EML) *Salas(HLE)
The first mountain finish in this TDF will see the GC men come to the fore. The final climb being 12 kilometres @ 8%.
A break are already established and Coppel has attacked across as behind the attacks start with 35 kilometres to go. Seeldraeyers, Uran and younger guns, Baetens and Patin attack but are brought back.
With 15 kilometres to go the Coppel break have 2:20 over the GC group.
On the narrow roads our yellow jersey and Sicard are dropped... before some great work from Hivert sees them re-join the Pinot group with Coppel still up the road.
Sicard is feeling good and attacks the GC group as the pace is manageable with the GC men watching each other... Pinot and Elissonde counter.
Sicard can't go with the next move... Pinot and Elissonde disappear up the road with 1.5 kilometres to go catching the agressive Coppel... Those three Frenchmen would battle out the final with Duarte coming up fast from behind...
Pinot takes the stage win. Coppel put up a great fight but would finish '10 back along with Elissonde. Duarte did pass our man and moves into the GC lead. Sicard finishes in a group including Jeannesson and Schleck... the attack didn't work, with de Gendt finishing further down in the standings.
We relinquish the yellow jersey after 7 days in yellow.

STAGE 1: Sochaczew - Warsaw 173 KM's
We show well on stage 1 with a late attack from C.S.Long and Felline showing well in the sprint. A good performance in the GC here will see Felline return to the top of the WT rankings or thereabouts.
Today we were no match for Lithuanian champ, Kroupis, who continues his good form from the tour of Austria.

Wearing the yellow jersey for a week is a nice achievement! Now hoping for a nice GC with Sicard.
