Elissonde is very underrated.I think you should increase his MO and Hill stat.
About schedule I think between Trentino and Romandie you should do LBL.In a race like this you gain much experience.Also I hope you will do Lombardia and the Italian autumn classics because due to the fact that you don't do ant grand tour this year you will be much fresher than other riders.You can get a top 10 in Lombardia with a fitness >90-92.
PS : Sorry for my english,

Well, it's a time trial. Big day for me, I'll finally see how I handle a TT bike in a competition. I've gone training a few more times, let's see if I improved.
Goals
Team Orders: Be weary of the final climb, it's incredibly steep and you can easily lose a minute there if you have no energy left!
Individual Orders: I'll be watching out for your performance. Give it a go, but don't give 100%, there are still three days left after this time trial and we need you in the team.
Race
The first one to leave, after coming in later after falling yesterday, was Thomas.
Than I left, pretty soon, which was fine by me, since it started raining an hour after I finished.
At the first checkpoint I was last.
Going up the final climb, I forgot I was on a TT bike and nearly fell. It's incredibly light and I couldn't handle it too well. But I went up pretty fast and made up some time in the climb!

Race Review
I'm already more than 3 minutes down on the race leader, in only two stages? Things happen fast around here. Luckily I have no GC ambitions here. I think it's official now: I'll never be World Champion Time Trialing!
Thanks for all the fanmail! It really motivates me to keep this blog going good! Also thanks for all the hints, too!
I realize the race reports are in my usual style, with changed lay-out nonetheless. But I feel comfortable in this system and it's already a new game so I'll do it like this for now. Hope that's good enough for you! Though this story won't be a copy of previous stories, don't worry about that.
Would you look at that? Talk about meant to be! St Remy de Provence. What a place to finish my first hilly stage!
In the first stage I had some problems with the pressure in the peloton, but I think it'll be better today. uphill, the pace is slower anyway. Everyone has their place in the peloton now, too. I hope to do some work for the team, finally.
Goals
Team Orders: We're in a tough situation. Le Bon is 9th and in White so he should be kept at the front, see if he can keep up the pace. On the other hand, Vichot is a natural at this, so we want to give him a chance to attack. We need the entire team today!
Individual Orders: Jean, time to prove you're worth your money. I need you at the front to keep an eye on the situation. You tested real bad at race intelligence, so prove me wrong now. Take responsibility.
Race
Veikkanen went in the attack again, strengthening his jersey and allowing us to take it easy in the peloton.
Le Bon got caught behind a bit, due to the fast pace in the pack. I went to pick him up and brought him to the front again. What a rush!
In the second of four local laps, Vichot tested the competition with an acceleration.
He split up the peloton with that attack. He didn't go all the way, though, smart as he is. When he let himself get caught by the peloton, I was the one most at the front. I stayed with him. In the final lap, he told me :"ride". So I did.
And at the top of the hill, when I was only barely controlling my breathing, he attacked. Brilliant move!
A second of hesitation from the favorites! He got one second, two seconds, three... The finish was close!
Victory! Another one for the team! What an amazing tour, I'm so proud to be part of this!
I crossed the finish line in the second chasing group, fairly close to the front of the race, as 31th!

Race Review
Another win, I could get used to this! It feels so great. Arthur's victory gave me such a rush, you can't imagine! I was actually part of it today. I did my job, and he did his. We worked together like a real team, all of us. I'm bloody tired, though.
I already feel better in the peloton. That first day was a bit scary, yeah, but you get over it. You can't think about the risks, you have too much stuff going on to start thinking. Besides, I'm excellent at handling a bike, so they won't get me down easily!
Anyway, I couldn't be more happy at the moment. Let's hope for another two beautiful days here! Though we realize they won't let anyone of us go that easily anymore!

Thank you! It feels great to be part of a team victory! What an experience!

I didn't notice that, an unusual thing Probably rain mentioned in blog was the reason of favourites finishing behind him.
So yesterday I finally was in my room at 9:30 pm. It was a long ride to the hotel. To be honest, I would prefer a close crappy hotel, or a tent, to this nice hotel which is like an hour away. But I'll roll with it.
I called Gina before going to bed and she was proud of me. And then just when I hung up the phone, it started ringing.
"Hello?"
It was Alexandre (Geniez). He watched the race on French television and he called to congratulate me. I thanked him and dropped to the bed, with my clothes on.
Quoting Fight Club: "Babies don't sleep this well."
At the morning breakfast, I was the last to arrive, I overslept just a little bit. Marc (Madiot, DS) was sitting at the head of the table and called me over. He gave me pat on the shoulder and he smiled.
"Good job. I expect even better today."
Wow, that guy really knows how to put pressure on a young, starting rider. But he's famous for it. I like him, he's very motivating.
Anyway, the start is half an hour from the hotel, so right now I'm on the bus, it's a bumpy ride here. Just have time to answer some fan mail!

Thanks! I'm glad I was able to do some work and even better that it payed off!

Another great win, you seems to found your way in the peloton. Bringing a teammate to the front isn't something you do when you feel not confident.
Exactly! I felt pretty good yesterday. In cycling you have no time to be afraid. I just trust my steering skills and went for it!

In a way he must've been glad, after a fall in the first stage taking a win, but taking 5 hours, I see how he must've been bored as well!

Correct. Froome came close but the rain cost him some seconds for sure!
Thanks for all the comments, everyone! I realize my career isn't as exciting as Cancellara's just yet, but with time I'll do my best!
An entire day of ups and downs, finishing on one hell of a climb. Today's route is short and mostly has side wind.
Goals
Team Orders: Vichot sits in sixth place. The only way he should move up is towards the first place. Everyone works for him now.
Individual Orders: You said you feel great this morning. I'm giving you the 'okay' to attack. Try to breakaway. If it doesn't work, I need you to collect water bottles.
Race
I feel great, and I got the okay, what more do I want? When the start shot was given, I attacked! It felt amazing!
I quickly gained time on the peloton, but luckily I got joined by other breakaway riders. We soon formed an alliance. My companions for the day were Rubiano, Serpa, Kolobnev, Vanotti and M. Rasmussen.
We found each other quite easily, and we worked together smoothly. Nobody skipped turns. I was so excited to be in the break I sometimes came to the front early.
The intermediate sprint was 5 kilometers away and the peloton was nearing fast. We turned a corner and suddenly had the wind in our backs. Without thinking, I attacked!
There was some hesitation and I created a gap!
This was the most beautiful moment of the day, riding into Signes alone, under loud applause from the crowd! I took the intermediate sprint, getting a €150 bonus for the team!
I spend some 20 kilometers alone, and then the effort caught up with me. When Kolobnev picked me up, I sat up and finished the race quietly.
Just in time, because the big guns came out to play now. Voeckler and Froome played catch together!
But as the saying goes with the two dogs, it's a Colombian taking the win! Betancur gets his first of the year!
I finished more than 7 minutes later, as 121th, but as a happy man.

Race Review
It was a good day, but I'm also glad it's over. I'm real tired now. Tomorrow's the last day here, but my Tour Med is already a success!

Also, buy an alarm clock, so you won't wake up too late from now on!
That's not a bad idea! But I'll wait until I visit my parents in Switzerland to buy a clock, though!
