Good luck! AToC in WT should be interesting, with possibly less teams focusing on the Giro.

baia - Thanks  Glad to hear!
valverde321 - I should think so, too! Reporting on every single race is great if you can do it, but I don't have the time nor the energy for that at the moment
FroomeDog99 - This way he can learn from Hushovd He's kind of a rider like him, too. A mixture between Sagan and Hushovd. California is WT, I forgot to post it but edited now, thanks!
cunego59 - Thanks, I hope it works out fine! I guess time will tell.
Cycleman123 - It'll be interesting to see what the WT teams do with that, indeed It is also one of the WT races where only 7 cyclists are allowed for each team. |

If the reports aren't frequent I guess there will be a lot of information when you do post?
Also as he is Norwegian shouldn't there be a.... Ö in his surname. |

Nope, not in Borgen.
Apart from being a Surname and a place it is the Norwegian word for Castle/Stronghold/Fortress

welker3257 - Thanks a lot, I hope so too!
The Rider - Yeah, reports will most likely be about a period of time. For example, the next update coming up (in a few days) will be about his first races, up until the end of February, I'd say.
Atlantius - I didn't know that. It suits his riding personality, so great  I just picked the name out of the list of famous Norwegians on wikipedia
sutty68 - Thanks, mate! Good to be back, hope I can make this one count |

A great start already with a huge podium finish. 
I would have fought that Lars Erik would like a TT or a prologue more likely.
Also, nice praise from the world champ. |

Just like less Teams focused on the tour because of Pologne?
Nice racing from Lars, best Norwegian in Qatar!

Atlantius - I agree, he owes it to excellent positioning more than his sprinting speed at the moment, though
The Rider - Thanks! Well, he has the power for it, but his aerodynamics bring down his level a lot. However, this is something he can easily grow much stronger in
Abelbaba - I'm glad you like it! It's something else than usual, it's a stab in the dark for me.
sutty68 - He sure didn't miss his start Thanks!
Dippofix - If Lars was the best Norwegian there, Boasson Hagen was a close second which was the case in the points classification

admirschleck - What is wrong with it, then? Or is it just on a personal level that you don't like reports like that? If it's the first, maybe I can work on it, if it's the latter, well, nothing to be done there |

Well, as i can see, you're using HDR effect just too much. Btw, try to make images brighter. They're too dark, imo. Use sites like "picmonkey" , "ribbet" or just use Photoshop/Gimp/Paint.NET (first solution is much easier for non-photoshop expert, since these sites really helps and results are also great).
And , it's somehow weird to open each image and read the text.
