Ha ha! If only i hadn't posted the stats
But seriously annoying... Stage 1 was just a poor chase but this is odd. And its happened in other stories too...
The AI seems to get fucked up when there's a (big) crash in the sprint preparation.
Nothing to do about it
Nevertheless, an amazing result for the team
The "Queen" stage of this years Tour is a real monster. The race winds its way across the Lake District and finishes with 4 1/2 laps around Kendal. The feature climb is around 1.5km @ 17%!!!
Node4 did a lot of earl work selecting the breakaway. Eventually a group of 3 was allowed away. They were Reus(RIJ), Clark(HSD) and Driscoll(JSH). The trio built a lead of 7'00 around the halfway mark, when Node4 took up the chase with Garmin and Bardini.
The Break in the Lake District
We pick up the racing with 50km to race, just as the break enters Kendal for the first time. Reus has just won the thrid IS.
50 km to go - And the first attacks come from the peloton! Partridge(UKY) instigates, and is followed by Gottfreid(TSP), Lopez(SKY), Anderson(CSS) and Pirazzi(BAR)
The first real attacks
33km - The days break is joined by the attackers. They hold 2'15 over the peloton
20km - Time for an update. The racing is fast and furious. IF we reported every attack you would still be reading this in December.
Reus leads solo by 16" over E2.
E2 contains 9 riders including Lopez, Pirazzi, Garzelli(VIN) and Pinto(LAR)
E3 is a further 29" down, and is just M.Kreder(GRM)
E4 is Sabido(LAR) and is 11" back
E5 contains 25 riders, including most of the main favorites another 16" down
15km - Its pretty much all change up front.
E1 is now Pirazzi
E2 is Reus @26"
E3 has the other previous leaders, and now also House(RCS) and Rosseler(GRM) @22"
E4 is down to 22 riders @22"
11km - Crossing the top of the climb for the final time it is all change again!
E1 is now 19 riders, with the various groups coming together and disbanding on the climb
E2 is 1'26 down containing 21 riders.
As the decent starts Hammarling attacks, taking Kwiatkowski with him!
5km - Karl and Michal lead by 25" over E2.
E2 contains 5 riders
E3 is another 11" down and has 10 riders
E4 is 1'22 behind and E5 is yet another 1'32 down. That covers most of the favorites and big names
3km - E1 leads by 16" over E2. E3 is @14" and E4 @ another 14"
Driving hard!
1000m - Hammarling lets Michal free, with various groups scrambling to recover time behind!
That must be illegal drafting?
FINISH - Kwiatkowski wins! Karl digs deep to take 2nd, with Dennis in 3rd.
Michal wins!
Karl holds 2nd!

Comment (Not Karl)
3 from 3! Should only be 1 but hey can't do anything about the AI. From here its a sit back and wait for the ITT on stage 8. Might try something on the way into Bristol though
Please just stick with this. I know it might not be the best to read with domination, but 1) its an accident, and 2) it is building towards a great storyline moment
Karl: 10/10 ___ Node4: 10/10
_________________________
Tour of Britain - Stage 4
Leeds - Derby
A long 191km stage across the center of England. Its a hilly day, but the long downhill run in the final third should make this a sprint finish. A large break of 11 went away early on. The biggest names in it are Acevedo(JSH), Brown(BLS), Eichler(TNE) and Oliphant(RAL).
Acevedo took out most of the days KoM sprints and will lead the competition at the end of the stage, taking it away from Karl Hammarling. We rejoin with 20km to go. The break has a lead of 4'28 with the peloton taking it easy.
18km to go - The first attacks in the break come! Acevedo, Pullar(MGT) and Brown make the move!
5km - It's all back together at the head now! It will be a group sprint for sure!
1000m - The dash is on! Its everyman for himself up front
FINISH - And its Sorensen on the line from Oliphant, with Friedman in 3rd. The peloton came in 6'16 down lead by Pinto

Comment (Not Karl)
Basically see the above comment. Just saving energy where possible.
An interesting stage this one. Its a long day at 203km with a rather lumpy route across Wales. Most of the climbing is stacked in the back half, with a lump on the finishing circuit in Aberyswyth. But still it should be a sprint finish.
The break took a few attempts to form, but a group of 5 made it away. Holmes(RAL), Oronte(JBC), Clark(HSD), Murray(BPC) and Burkhardt(TSP) gained a gap 7'00 by halfway. Soon after Bardini began to chase. We pick up the race at the base of the Cat.2 climb around 40km from the finish.
The Break enjoying the rain
40km to go - The break holds 2'40 over the Bardini and Vini lead peloton
35km - At the top of climb that gap has reduced to 2'32
20km - As the race hits Aberystwyth the gap is only 1'19
10km - The catch is made, but there is no real organization now in the peloton
3km - Several riders have jumped early! They are trying to surprise Node4 and grab the win. Kreder is the man out front!
1000m - Kreder still leads, but the gap is dropping. Rowe is just starting to kick for the line
FINISH - Rowe wins in Wales! Kreder holds 2nd from Gatto in 3rd

Comment (Not Karl)
I wish the AI was good... No lead-outs except our own, and even then i just held them at the front... On the flip side, another win is good. Also thinking the rest of the field might have poor form
Karl: 6/10 ___ Node4: 9/10
_________________________
Tour of Britain - Stage 6
Birmingham - Bristol
149 very flat kilometers today. A few rises here and there, but nothing that will put anyone in trouble. This is perfect for a sprint, and is in essence Karl's home stage in front of his family.
The break went away easily early on containing, Putt(BLS), Van der Velde(JBC), Griffiths(IGS), Stocker(ARH) and Vermeltfoort(RIJ). They built 5'30 around the halfway stage as Garmin, Bardini and Vini all shared the chase.
30km to go - The gap has fallen to 2'20 as the chase ramps up a gear
20km - The gap is still falling, down to only 1'35
10km - The break still holds 43", but it is doomed now
3km - The lead-outs launch now. Vini fires into the lead, leaving the rest of the field panicking to catch up!
1000m - Gatto leads under the Kite, but Rowe is kicking behind with the rest of the field
FINISH - And Rowe wins again! Gatto holds 2nd, with Pinto 3rd

Comment (Not Karl)
That was better. Another win, and it was tougher to achieve. Two stages to go! This Tour has been much easier and better than i ever thought possible
Today's Podium ceremonies at the Tour of Britain were interrupted by a medical emergency is the crowd. Details are still sketchy at this time. Following the presentation of the Gold leaders jersey to Karl Hammarling a man in the audience collapsed. The podium ceremonies were halted whilst medical teams attended the incident. The man was rushed to Bristol City Hospital, and we believe he suffered a heart attack. The name of the man has not yet been released. After a delay of around an hour the podium ceremonies were continued.
This story will expand when more details are released.
