thanks for the advice. The riders still are at 50 fittnes points, when the will be in better shape i certanly improve my sprints 
That's what you wrote during the TDU. So TBH, it's to be expected early on. The fact you were still getting top 10 results with ease during the TDU was pretty astonishing. But hey ho, a story is all about what you want to write about, so, in all hypocrisy, keep it up! 
 Isn't normaly to get easy top10 with sprinters like Eisel or Ciolek? And when I said improve i was meaning victories not just top 10  |

Nah, it's only 1:20am here, so I guess the party next door will keep me up for at least another 2 hours....

Nice! Remember to not sprint with Kirchen on the flat stages, except if you want the sprint jersey. He can recover on the flat stages |
