I sent one of my stronger squads, and I'm still last in the startlist.

Do you even know his stats in the ManGame DB?

I think VDB will win though. Alarcon has to get a big gap ahead of the TT, Rujano isn't good enough to get a big gap on VDB, and really Valverde is the biggeest threat to VDB.
Then there is the unlikely chance of a break sticking on the first stage. I can only hope that one of my support climbers gets into the break. If Eastman rides conservatively, he has a chance at the top 10.

The timetrial is listed as 7 kilometers long, meaning it's probably around 5 kilometers. Hopefully that means that a small, small gap + bonifications could be enough for Alarcon, but honestly, I can't see him ride away from VDB, Rujano or Valverde. But hopefully he can make a top 5 overall, will with no doubt make me satisfied.
And I agree, VDB is my favourite aswell, he has that small edge for the time trial, probably enough to take around 10 seconds on Valverde and Rujano, But the first stage should be one big firework, hopefully a break won't make it |

Alarcon should win - or perhaps Valverde. Time and time again Valverde has blown mountain stages apart - this should be no different.
And Alarcon is the only one who can match him and then possibly get a gap. |

Being a new CT Div2 team with several good climbers, I will be very interested in watching this race.
Good luck Gentlemen.

I can confirm that the time trial is 7 kilometres long.
I am sorry for the delay, much like the CDiv2 race I am not posting this ones results until the resolution of the Boland race and in fact the Man Game classic Rund um Koln.
Obviously SN is busy busy right now. Rest assured the stages have been raced and are on file ready for you to enjoy.

If the races have already been run, what is the point of waiting for the PT race to be run?
Do they have to be recorded in sequence?
Everyday I stop in to see what if we raced and since the 1st week of September we have had just 1 race day.
Racing is fun, waiting is like a blown tire when you are 100 yards into your breakaway!

Because the reporters want the races to follow the Man Game calendar. Corsica is taking place later than Boland and Köln, therefore those must be reported first.

That is not always possible or not always happening. If this rule should be strictly followed, Langkawi had to be finished after Koln and Nokere-Koerse 
But i understand the decision, there must be some sort of system in it, not chaos, i hope the racing will be back on track soon. Until then, i enjoy race reports from the previous seasons, some of them are epic, you guys (especially SN) put a lot of work into it, thanks for it

I agree there needs to be some logic as to how all the races weave together.
Iam not try to make trouble, just finding it hard after a very active Summer to get the D2 started and the first hadnful of races run and then to have 1 race day in the ladt 7 weeks.

The ManGame has always been a bit like this - has peaks and troughs and is dependent on people having spare time.....

Well.. Lewis has been in the break, just like I wanted him to be.. but maybe too late.. he should have go for the battle of KoM instead At least, he showed Oz-colors..
Congrats to Aker and Alacorn! Nice battle there, as expected.

Wow, Alarcon is strong. Another really strong performance by him.

Really nice stage! Agnoli in the KoM jersey, and Duarte grabbing an amazing 2nd place. 38 seconds is probably to much for Duarte to close the gap to Alarcon on the TT. But if i holds on to the 2nd place I'll be a happy man.
