Well, 18th in the GC with Kai Reus isn't bad at all! You're not playing with a team like.... let's say Movistar!

I agree, with not the best fitness and without a top rider, 18th place is good. And it will be even better soon!

I agree with the others, it was not a bad result at all with a rider like Reus |

Thanks all....
Seems we are sure now that  R.Förster can´t be main sprinter at all....with 91fitness, he should do better.
STAGE 6 / FINAL STAGE
 F.Ventoso wins last stage...

@sutty68
Thanks mate...about the earlier races....we can´t expect to have great results when the riders are in such bad fitness...i will be really happy if we manage good results with good fitness...
The start in Algarve was even better then we expected but i´m affraid this will get over soon...

STAGE 1
Less then 20kms to go, peloton rides really fast to catch up breakaway group with 3 riders..2´40"gap..
..but these guys were smart and fast enought to stay in front and  V.Gustov wins out of the break..

About Förster, I think it's his flat stat that is making him so weak. I've experienced the same on extreme in my save with the likes of Cimolai or Sabatini. 80 in sprint but only 71 in flat. They run out of energy before the sprint even starts because of the high speed. So not much you can do. You could try (I don't know how you're doing it at the moment) to start from a little behind, so not try everything to follow the top sprinters. Then you come from a worse position but still have some energy left. I don't know if that works better, tbh
Oh, and nice result with Beletti. Maybe things start to get better now.

In the bunch sprint Belletti was only beaten by Hushovd, so this must have given you a smile  |

@cunego59
Yes, his flat isn´t the best and his sprint either...only 75sp so if in extreme 2 or 3 pts are taked out from stats,then he´s only 72/73sp and 68/69 flat...so not enought to do better.....about your tipp...well, as we can´t survive with our own train(maybe because low fitness),Förster normally follows other wheel and its like you say.....quick empty, but if he comes a little behind(already tested) he can´t gain any places...i´ve been always good pcm player but this time seems it´s my fault as i miss the touch...
@sutty68
It was nice to see yes... ...unfortunally there is one team that will smash all in Algarve...

Weird. With such a strong team including Gilbert and Hushovd, you'd think BMC would do some work...

Hey, you use .png screenshots... I was wondering why it took me ages to load them. Better convert them to .jpg, as loyal followers like myself keep following your story/ies (and yes, this is a threat!)

@dienblad
Yes i know but as they are small(kb) i thought it wouldn´t be any issue as it loads good for me...will change that in future...
STAGE 5 / LAST STAGE
Althought  R.Sutherland isn´t in his best form, we had some little hopes for a good result today...he did good in the 1st part of the stage but at the 2nd half he faded out and lost too much time...
The one wich didn´t faded out was  J.Fuglsang...he takes a nice stage win..
