Insert whatever english phrase is correct there then
With the new exp progression system, Avenir isn't as important as before, I guess. Whether my riders are 3.04 or 3.24 isn't really relevant (if I understood the rule right).
I'm not quite sure whether my eligible riders aren't racing while Avenir

Well show me what you got left Hushovd! Would be nice with a stage win and solid race from Wyss. Why did I send Eltink here instead of someone who could support Hushovd in the sprint, Van Hummel or Brammeier for example... |

Same what I think. Cucinotta is one of the top5 sprinters here but won`t have any support. Instead of the 4 talents I could have added a nice train.
Will come later in lots of Vantomme races. |

I really don't know what to expect here. Just hoping that the hilly stages are all 'hilly'. |

I'm hoping for a top 5 from Vanendert and I think Gautier could also get a top 10 realistically, or at least a top 15. Vanendert's decent mountain stat may come in handy.
Also hopefully Poulhies can use his nationality bonus to jag a couple of decent sprint results.

Being in the break with an active Novak again and 6th with Cucinotta ahead of Corioni isn`t a bad start.
On the other hand Cucinotta is behind Corioni and Hushovd the best sprinter here imo, so I hope for a better result on the 2nd flat stage.
Saab did well with the train, but there should be a punishment for the blocking. |

The final one is the key. The others ones are hilly for sure, and shouldn't bring any problems for Ginanni. I've seen real puncheurs even gain time there. The last stage however, can go good or bad, as positioning is pretty important here, especially for the lesser climbers.

But if I remember right, the last stage has normal level 2 roads. So you can expect good attacks there. Last time I played it, it was a fight of 3 for the stage and overall win there.
So gaps are definitely possible. |

I fear this stage may have summed up how the rest of the race will go for our team...
Awesome to see another Sprint train work out, though. Congrats to Saab!

Nice win for Hushovd, Saab copied the HTC-style.
My rider do surprisingly well in sprints, Wegmann in NZ, now Smukulis as 3nd and even Sousa as 7th.
Tomorrow will be more important for the GC, so i hope Kessler can gain some time about other GC contenders.

Poulhies just outside scoring range - hopefully he can improve!

Exactly as I hoped Bellis would do this season! Saab deserved the win with all their work, but for Bellis to skip past the other sprinters is awesome

Yes! That was nice to see! Did not think we could get such a strong train and that Aistrup was good enough for leadout men. Will be exciting to see stage 2 how hard it´s and stage 3 if we can redo this.
Thank you!
And about the blocking, you do what you need to do to get your first win of the season

Odd that Bellis was nowhere, but Sulzberger and Jiriakov did a great job!

We should just have done with it and classify stages like that as flat. |
