My main focus is still Stijn and Eric. However, after the giro I had/have to get away from them for a couple of days. This here is a story that doesn't take up as much time (more simulation, less reports...) that I'll do in between a bit, this will move slowly, while Stijn and Eric are probably back tomorrow or the day after, just needed a little break 
But it's great to see that you like the story so much  |

Tour de San Luis - finished
Team Turbo booked some success in its first (stage) race. We don't leave Argentina empty handed, far from it!
| 1 | Przemyslaw Niemiec | Lampre-ISD | 23h50'56 | | 2 | Samuel Hamilton | Team Turbo Pro Cycling | + 2 | | 3 | Vasil Kiryienka | Movistar Team | + 8 | | 4 | Bartosz Huzarski | Team NetApp | + 16 | | 5 | Juan Pablo Suarez | Colombia Coldeportes | + 27 | | 6 | Ben Hermans | Radioshack Nissan Trek | + 33 | | 7 | Bart De Clercq | Lotto Belisol | + 38 | | 8 | Tiago Machado | Radioshack Nissan Trek | + 39 | | 9 | Christian Vandevelde | Team Garmin-Barracuda | + 42 | | 10 | Ignatas Konovalovas | Movistar Team | + 45 |
Sammy rode an excellent hilly stage and is second in the GC, congratulations! His second place also earns him the young jersey!
And if that's not enough, we've got the other Sammy (Matlin) in the mountain jersey. He attacked on 4 stages in total, what a debut for Team Turbo!
| 1 | Samuel Matlin | Team Turbo Pro Cycling | 42 | | 2 | Kevin Hulsmans | Farnese Vini Selle Italia | 26 | | 3 | Vasil Kiryienka | Movistar Team | 24 | | 4 | Bartosz Huzarski | Team NetApp | 24 | | 5 | Nico Sijmens | Cofidis, Le Crédit en Ligne | 22 |
We're looking forward to see the team in action in the next race, which will be the Tour of South - Africa.
See you there,
Christopher |

Vuelta a Murcia
Hamilton rode a brilliant first stage and an even better time trial, getting him into the top 10 on the overall. So far he's the best rider of the season in our team, well done!
| 1 | Christian Vandevelde | Team Garmin-Barracuda | 6h07'03 | | 2 | Daniel Navarro Garcia | Team Saxo Bank | + 25 | | 3 | Branislau Samoilau | Movistar Team | + 47 | | 4 | Beñat Intxausti | Movistar Team | + 1'22 | | 5 | Christophe Le Mével | Team Garmin-Barracuda | + 1'23 | | 6 | Gorka Verdugo | Euskaltel Euskadi | + 1'33 | | 7 | Javier Moreno Bazan | Movistar Team | + 2'14 | | 8 | Andrey Amador | Movistar Team | + 2'18 | | 9 | Samuel Hamilton | Team Turbo Pro Cycling | + 2'33 | | 10 | Volodimir Gustov | Team Saxo Bank | + 2'35 |
Vlaamse Pijl
Our main sprinter Campbell just missed a top 10 place. The breakaway, consisting of 7 riders, made it to the finish.
Still, we are happy with the results so far! |

All black riders? Only black riders? Isn't that racist?

Eventually they'll sign white riders, of course. But they start out all black, and the first team they send to TDF will be all black, to write history |

Don't do that! That's why we here in the USA we had to deal with Obama for 4 years, just to say we had a black president. That is the definition of racist!

I can assure you, baseballlover, it's nothing racist. I'm definitely, absolutely, 100% not a racist, just to make that clear. It's just a game and just an idea I had
Thanks, sutty, I hope so too, and maybe one day he'll be the first Afro - American TDF winner |
