do you belive in bad luck SotD? because you have him on your team :/
Indeed I do...
But as Magenta said i'm as good as safe in the top 10, so whatever beyond that I will take as a good thing, even though my goal is top 5 |

your team did unexpectly very good in the start of the season and for sure you will finish in the top10 overall of the man game 
What races did we do unexpectedly well in? I don't see any of my results being beyond the riders capability. Perhaps the 2nd place in Milano-San Remo was above realistically, but last year the team won it... Besides that race what has been beyond expected? |

Alright I will check it up for you then:
Winner of Tour of Qatar with Thor Hushovd, by far the strongest sprinter there (With Petacchi) My entire team was build to do well in the TTT, while I only managed 2nd after Accumalux.
5th, 7th and 10th in California with 3 strong TT'ers. They were among the best in the TT stat why they managed to get in top 10.
2nd and 4th in Kuurne with Burghardt and Hushovd. Nothing to say about that. I have one of the best cobbled team and I get the points.
6th in Monte Paschi Eroica with Burghardt.
3rd in Paris-Nice with Samuel Sanchez, one of the best hilly riders in the game. He even lost out on the 2nd place in the last stage. Not that shocking. He was always going to be in top 5 in that race.
2nd Milano-San Remo with Samuel Sanchez. He won the race last year.
5th and 7th of the Ronde van Vlaanderen with Hushovd and Burghardt. Yet again...
4th in Paris-Roubaix with Burghardt.
4th Amstel Gold Race with Samuel Sanchez.
4th Liege Bastogne Liege with Samuel Sanchez
Nothing in the rest, including a cobbled race, which I should've gotten top 5, and Romandie where I should've gotten top 5 and Giro where I should've gotten top 10...
I can't see it, can you? |

I dont think I'll reach the top... Rogers, Nocentini and Bennati seem injured which'll cost me quite some point I think...  |

the GC seems to show a distinct top 10, hopefully Carrara will hang in there, nice to see Kilun in the break again

Interesting result of that third stage. A podium for Pozzovivo is in sight, although he will have to improve his timing of the attacks. Would be great to see him up there with the front group for once. |

I can only say, so far so good... Cunego got the jersey but Rogers is injured and Nocentini is even more badly injured so he lost his two main mountain helpers... only the old brushegin left... |

SotD - you were lucky to score points on the cobbles with Hushovd. The Norwegian should have been dropped by those stronger on the cobbles.
Its a pain that Erste chased instead of just letting Sella attack but at least Pellizotti got in the maglia rosa for a day

Hushovd is 78 cobble... He is top 10 cobble riders and with Gusev and Ballan out he should be just about where he has been placing himself... |
