So biggest question: Can Dao repeat the win on basically the same route? |

Can't imagine anybody would have a problem with another Vague solo win.

we don't live in Wallonie, I think you may find we have a big problem with that.

I hope to bring you the race tomorrow!
Too late to send in tactics, though But that's no problem, as only 1 player sends in tactics every race and about 3 players send them regularly |

Still need to find out, who is best in all terrains. Obviously there are some, who are always great like Vague, Cook etc. but I need to find those, that only do well on specific terrains.
Just to help you, a few names for a few terrains:
Sand: Shay Gormley. Always seems to disappear mid-season but when there's sand, expect him at the front!
Ice: Team Odfjell. Hammarling, Kokkonen and Eldfjallsson. They could easily score 1-2-3 in the icy races if it wasn't for Vague
Cobbled (and nothing else): Bakari!!! |

Not putting Power's name down with Sand is insulting the guy who lives at the Beach in what is basically a desert Especially as it's pretty much all he's good at! Damn UCI and it's continuing anti-American biases #BlatterForPresident

Sounds like a really great race! The Coca-Cola trophy is shaping up nicely by the looks of things. Two riders on the same time for the top

Lijstering really killed Dao there.
Was still a nice effort. |

I take that back . I take it all back I'm in a state of shock I actually haven't spoken out loud since Milan attacked with Dao What a report What an amazing report Ian, what and amazing report
EDIT: The Bull. El Pistolero. Both could stick. Tough choice for me, but Milan will let the media decide, knowing him. Not that he enjoys it, but he really can't care about the media much.
EDIT 2: 1500 posts in the thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@j7 - hope you recovered a bit from it already certainly is a breakthrough for him!
@Smowz - Glad you're liking the racing going on! Hope to hear from Cook soon!

Damn Ian, hard to keep track of you (falling through the skies ♫ ♪ ♪)
Stunning report, it had me glued to the chair in the last lap. Unfortunate that BKCP couldn't make it back-to-back this weekend, however Listerijn seems to be fulfilling his high potential. I imagine it'll kick down some doors for him.
However, -100 sympathy for the pistolero salute. There's only one gunslinger in town and he ain't riding CX. Hmpf.

Cheers, Shonak
BKCP's first perfect weekend is not for now, but there's no doubt it'll happen one day
Well, jandal is the only one who ever sent in celebrations for all his riders, so I had to do it |

Hmpf. I was unsure whether this was fantasy for road too (unnamed riders but not rl ones) or real life. With Contador being alive here I'll stick with the full. New trademark celebration needed. I've got one tho.
EDIT: I sound so arrogant when you put it like that I was bored one day and was dreaming about winning sometime next season when one of my riders is good. Here we go now then. New celebration sent in, now just let me win and find out

I hope for you you don't have to wait another season to find out
Anyway, I'll let the pace simmer for now. Got the report, The Scope and the preview up so now I'm gonna give it a few days at the minimum! Give everyone a chance to catch up |

It's not arrogant, I'm just one helluva Contador fanboy so I like to complain about htings hehe. I obviously love the celebration itself.
Looking forward to the new one.
