Like the team valverde. It just like old times where Caisse D'Epagne was a beast. |

Thanks everyone! Glad the presentation was nice. I just did a pretty basic one because stories aren't just about doing a team presentation, so I'd like to get a lot of racing done this weekend 
I also toned down most riders stats, so the team isn't too overpowered.

Mine are, actually, as I never really got much further than 10 reports

Your third story? Finally normal around here. 
Edit: Nevermind, Netapp is out. At least two is tolerable.

Tour Down Under Stage 1
The finish to the stage was nearing and the break of 7 was cleaned up a couple kms ago. Rui Costa noticed a slow-down and made a brave move to get clear of the others. It looked good at first as he managed a 15 second time gap.
However the sprinters started their dash to the line a little bit later and that was when Costa was caught. It was day over for him, but this early into the season thats a sign of good legs, so maybe he will get a good result on Willunga in a few days time! Greipel looked to be leading the sprint, but he started very early! Could he hold on?
No he could not! Jimmy Casper snags the stage win, ahead of Vaitkus and Rojas who managed to follow the right wheel!

Nice podium with Rojas

Nicely spotted! Should be Dehaes then, I guess.
Also, I agree, nice start of the season. One question regarding the team presentation: Will LLS lead you at the Giro? Or is Rui Costa getting a shot at it? Oh, and don't you dare saying anything against excessive team previews
