Galta not doing the best so far, still down in 31st overall. Hopefully that can improve if there are gaps on the forthcoming mountain stages, but that doesn't look likely... |

Thoroughly surprised by all three of our leaders.
How Vogt can hang on on such a brutal stage with [b]60 mountain is waay beyond me.
How Kelderman keeps overperforming and might actually have a shot at a Top 10 is quite a bit beyond me.
And how Bongiorno continues playing third fiddle (yeah, not even second) is the low point of our Avenir story so far.[/b]
Overall, that's two overperforming and one underperforming, so I can't be too unhappy.
Especially as we have yellow for another stage, and honestly, if Vogt can hang on on THIS stage...

Yes yes yes yes pleaaase 
Considering the state of PCM12 Moutain AI - its not surprising at all. Happens well too often.
This is why move from this to PCM13 will finally at least differentiate this so much.
But on the other hand we'll get at least one season where noone gives a fuck about RES.
I'd take that considering mountains gaps ( and amazing hilly game play ). So much better than PCM 12 ever was at least
Hopefully they can fix the resistance, I contacted them so hopefully it will be redone. Overall I contacted them to fix all the stats in game that have no influence at this point, hopefully it all comes together.

@ Dombrowski:
Not too sure about him being injured. Le Gac for sure is injured as he lost contact on the 1st or 2nd stage. But Dombrowski just was bad placed and still finished in the first group.
@ Bongiorno:
Not sure here. Bad placed or eventually also became co-leader and Vogt is leader with Kelderman in free role. Otherwise I don`t know why he is that bad. 
@ PCM12/13:
Yeah. Is hopefully the better.

Dombrowski seems to be riding better. I just wish he was as aggressive as the Prio rider who won. Not a bad stage for me, really enjoyed that one:
1. Meintjes moved up to 15 overall, hopefully able to get a top 10.
2. JC Nel got in the break, hopefully win KOM with more breaks. His maxed stats will be 74mo 74hil and 80ftr - so he'll be a real breakaway climber one day.
3. Lutsenko finished in the main group
4. Dombrowski seems to be fully fit and not injured

Quite a nice stage for me.
Villella finally showing my colours in the breakaway and takes the 5th and Olivier finally showing his skills to be strong in the mountains and then a strong sprint to take another top10 for my team.
Plus Koep obviously being a super domestique for Kirsch and is in the top15 now.
Hopefully Olivier can improve into the top20 in the end as well, then it`s a successful race for me. |

McCarthy can win this race if he attacks on the next stage and gains about a minute. Highly unlikely though. Bardet and Elissonde again solid but unspectacular. |

Sad that Craddock doesn't go into the break.  |

Haven`t played it yet but I guess this won`t happen as it`s flat rated if I remember correct.
I am more interested about the gaps after the time trial. Can Cattaneo come close to teh top5 after the time trial?
And then what will we have for gaps on the last mountain finish then.
I am not sure, but Cattaneo might be the only GC rider being 70+ in time trials and most are even below 65 I think. So the gaps in the time trials can be very small except for Cattaneo, who really can have a chance there. |

Nice to see Bennett in the provisional lead! Would have preferred a more selective race though. Not sure if he can win the whole race this way.. Anyway, should be a nice battle, quite close by now.

Kennaugh doing really well for me, he should join us for real In general a great race for us, with both Zabel and Kennaugh getting results

Not as bad as you may think.
Vogt was never going to keep the jersey until the end, and I think 5 days in yellow are still great.
I didn't expect anything from Bongiorno anyway, and maybe this allows an early or mid-stage attack on the last stage.
So it's all-in for Kelderman, and don't underestimate the TT! It's definitely possible to overtake Bennett, McCarthy and Skujins there, and I see only Bennett getting back ahead.

Haha, that is awesome. I get an Avenir 1- 2 It was a great idea to allow Waeytens to ride for Magna-Ryanair. Both Waeytens and Lane will be nice hilly riders for the future

So close for De Bie! Would have been awesome to see him win, but I'm happy to see one of my riders perform so well anyway.
Also cool to to see Vesuvio with three of my riders back in the lead in the team classification. Hopefully, it will last!

Good rides by Bazhkou, and today Pranata tried to show our colours as well. Too bad he couldn't stay with the peloton all the way in. But impressing performances by Grmay, so we are hoping for a surprising top-10 GC wise for him. It will be tough, but it would definitely be a great achievement for the team. |

Next season will most likely be a "vacation" season for my team, waiting for Zabel, Zepuntke, Brenes, Anacona, Preidler etc to max out for a promotion battle the following season. So I "might"go for a certain german...
Hey, so are you going to keep all of those or loan some out to ensure maxing out?
There are certainly some guys that would help me on a loan deal, and maybe we can combine that with other arrangements.

Am I the only one getting annoyed with PCM12? Bunch sprints on a mountain stage  Not unhappy about the result, though. Meintjes moves up to 13th. Hopefully he can sneak into the top 10. And if Dombrowski can actually try to win a stage - that'd be great
