Vantomme is really disappointing without any stage win so far. I think it was even his 2nd podium, 2x 3rd or so... |

Haussler has a good season so far, some bad results in some classic races but some unexpected wins in stage-races.
With a podium and a win after two stages i don´t mind being last in the team classification.

I'm glad my team helps control the race, we need to keep it together until the TT

Improvement by Croket, but Rolland obviously being injured puts a good TT out of sight as well...

Good effort by Haussler and Bonnet here, sadly there were no time gaps for our better cobblers like Meersman, so this looks like we might have difficulties to even get 10 points out of this race.

Third KoM jersey for Team WWE, on a different rider in this race. Also, going suprisingly well in GC so far. Hopefully one of the riders in the top 10 will stay there.

Strange stage that one. Nobody able to really take the race by the scruff of the neck.
With plenty of sprinters around cannot see anything but a sprint in stage 4, so looks like the TTers will get their day on stage 5 for the GC.
Reus, Koren, Bonnet, Flens, Boom and Schadlich are all handily placed.

Keep those podium place come Breschel!
Too bad he can´t do TT´s, so it´s up to Van Aelbroeck if we want a good result in that stage. |

Shit. If that gap had stayed open I would have had a really good shot at an overall top 5 for Elijzen. Hopefully everyone else used more energy though.

Another disappointing stage for Vantomme. He would have probably won 1-2 stages if not having the sprint train.
Hope AI sprint trains will work better in PCM12 as they far too early go in the wind and later sprinters have better chances to do well.
Also hope that Vantomme will get at least 1 win this season... |

At least I was in the break. That's always a plus.
EDIT: And Vanspeybrouck in the young rider's jersey for a day! He is such a versatile rider.

Nice win for Pokerstars and Rothaus train failing again. One thing i dont get is every team who has best leadout fails in Pcm2011, but Puma does not. Of course Bennati is the best sprinter, but still their train is somewhat more effective than the rest.

Puma`s train is just much more powerful than than the others.
Gasparotto and Kvist are solid sprinters but more important also great flat riders, so they last longer and have a higher pace.
Baumann and Iglinski in this example here are decent sprinters but 73 and 67 flat might not be enough. Plus the face that Bennati is better than Vantomme obviously.
And unfortunately the game isn`t using Boom as first flat rider although I am quite happy about it here as the pace work he is doing over the whole stage already annoys me a lot. |

It seems like whenever I have someone in the break, the peloton takes the win. Oh well. If Team WWE doesn't win the KoM-jersey now, I will be disappointed.

Quite a lot to do for university.
Stage 5+6 will come tomorrow or definitely on the weekend. |

Well the reports are great Roturn!
And hopefully Kwow can get in the break and grab a few more KoM points.

So finally the 5th stage. Hope the 6th will be up tomorrow or tonight.
Congrats to VW for this win. Luckily Boom with a decent result after all his work for Vantomme although I guess without he would have beaten at least Schädlich and maybe even Koren or Reus. But 4th would be fine for me seeing how the race went. |

I never expected Haussler to keep the leader´s jersey, i still hope for another stage win although i´d like to see Vantomme winning. Rothaus would really deserve it here.
