You guys are right, it looks like Filliers/Bunzl will be real contenders for the relegation battle, which could be real close/thrilling (Though Fiskars/Allianz/some others surely won't score as many as those two, will they?). Speaking of which, how many teams are to be relegated from the WT?
Decent start in the Basque country, will be happy if we could hold that position in GC.
After a year and a month we are still waiting to win a jersey in the ICL.  |

with the exception of Kiserlovski all my leaders (LuLu Sánchez/Valverde/Majka) have already raced this year and they've scored a WT securing 23 points in total  #relegationbattle

Great work here BikeX - tension is building nicely in the Basque country real battle between Quintana and Contador.
Meanwhile Guardini gets that win though it was very tight - I'll take it but I am looking for more improvement from him still. The Cat is there where he should be before the mountain stage - just got to try and get ahead of Spilak somehow!

So close for Edmondson but a brave effort nonetheless.
Nice to see two of my riders in the breakaway in Oz too.

Well that's our first win this season, a bit of a shame it is from a break, but we will take it (after all we never had one breakaway win last season so we were due one). To be expected that puncheurs from the break will take stages like that one, and Leukemans is very handy for that scenario.
Thanks for adding the team kit to Prorace, those extra few details make all the difference! 
SAP and Saeco both doing very well on the continental tour, they should be there or thereabouts come the end.  |

There we go onto the podium, and Kelderman and TVG comfortable in the peloton. Slow start in January but we're getting some momentum now our leaders are in action

I'd b extremely surprised if Fiskars survived as we have no star on the team.

Yes Chavenal has a clear winning margin in the Time Trial, so my first victory and first leaders jersey! 
But umm... Could Kenny please stop coming third?

Second that about the great work from Bikex - tension mounting nicely.
Wow Nat Cap stage 2 was tight, I thought Adam Blyth might have won looking at the first screenie, yet again Saeco-Cannondale get ahead of Eurosport-Pepsi, come on boys we need to turn the tables  .

Great start for my team in the basque country. Quintana shows that he is worth his high wage early in the season. Also Chavez getting a surprising podium on the first stage is nice.
The time trial on the last day is only 9 km but it might be too long for Quintana with only 11 seconds advantage. I have to hope for some gaps on the remaining mountain top finish.

Frank came 3rd in the first stage which I was really happy with. But he has dropped slowely over the 2nd and 3rd stages. Hopefully he can finish strongly in Pais Vasco

So it's a prologue then and Contador and Quintana actually have the same Prologue stat of 75. Crap. :S

Just realised that the next stage is a mountain stage.
I'm not as optimistic of Chavenal winning now. Still, nothing's impossible...

Don't forget Kwiatkowski yet. It's gonna be pretty hard to make up so much time, but I believe in our youngster. I just hope he won't drop further in the upcoming stages...
