Jonas Aaen in 6th in the GC, I just don't know why he rides with the breakaways and don't stay with the pack to go for it in the bunch sprint.
He could win the tour from the breakaways but he'll never get time bonuses in the final sprint
He's not that far off the best sprinters is he? He's got 76 in Sprint which should be pretty good on the CT. |

Yay third, great result, bit disapointed to loose to cadamuro and traksel, but zanotti went too early  , but hopefully he will take his form into the next race.

I have to say im disappointed in Clarke, he has 77 sprint and his best placing is 13th (i think). Sometimes your sprinters just dont get up there! I feel he'll be lucky to get a top 8 in the last stage, even though his form looks like it's improving. |

Well, you can't just look on his sprint stat. You have to look on the other stats aswell, particulary flat and sometimes stamina for longer stages. It's very important.
Maybe he's just exhausted when he comes to the finnish.

Yup, and so far we have had 5 different stage winners. That makes me tip Markov or Traksel
