Nice stage for us. Craven will probably do a Top5 and Avermaet takes a Top10 and a jersey ! |

Ah, okay. Cavendish doesnt think he is a sprinter anyway, he thinks he is a puncheur...

Great race. 4th,10th and a jersey is really good. Too bad Craven missed podium by less then a second. |

And that's another Tour for Ignatiev. Thank you very much  Good 3rd by Hermans too, am very glad I didn't sell him to Waghlon. |

It seems more and more clear that you are the frontrunner to be the winner of the continental tour this season and perhaps even have the best individual rider of the season too. Talk about dominance.

Like I (may have) said before, TT based wins are reliable, at least more so than any other kind of rider. I was just lucky in being able to buy Ignatiev, who's not only dominant to the nth degree in the Conti Tour in these races, but also happens to be my favourite rider. A double happy whammy.  |

He won by only second in New Zealand (if I remember well), this time lady fortune showed her second face to you...
thank you smowz for another picture of Ericsson - adept #1 for releasing from team after season  8th place by Clement is a disappointment

Tour of Belgium wrap:
As I indicated in my last stage report for the three stage winning teams it was an excellent race. Everyone else had lean pickings at the table, not least 100% Me and Pokerstars who had disappointing races. Highroad and Falcon are certainly improving and Bbox better watch out else they may end up with the wooden spoon!
My rough calculations:
| Team | Points | Ratio | | Wiggle | 276 | 55.2 | | Bimbo Nut | 189 | 37.8 | | Highroad | 168 | 33.6 | | Unicredit | 73 | 14.6 | | Falcon | 71 | 14.2 | | Cillit Bang | 63 | 12.6 | | Intesa | 61 | 12.2 | | Pokerstars | 47 | 9.4 | | 100% Me | 45 | 9 | | Bbox | 33 | 6.6 |
This has been a great month for Wiggle what with the Giro and the Ignatiev machine in action. But I do think the may find it hard to maintain this sort of momentum - Ikea will be hard to beat. Do not forget the Scandenavian factor! |

You have a point there but I hope to be on the right side of the second every single time  |
