I'm going to develop a severe hatred of that black jersey this year. 
One race in and Lord Lavery has already beaten sprinting beasts Phinney, Farrar and Bennett. Come on people, you bottled it last year. #Velod'Or
And with that race done, our season ends. I enjoyed it guys, thanks for coming.

Palm Classic is not hard enough for Degenkolb... still a top 10 is always nice. 
Actually he was going very well but then he was blocked by Sagan. Just some inside information. |

To honor the start of the season i finally finished tallying up LIU's results from last year... 44 Wins, 80 trips to the Podium and 205 finishes inside the Top10!!!
Yeah we won't be matching that this season

Bouhanni 8th in a pure sprinter's race? is pretty much what I expected...
(And I don't see anything than breakaways for our dev team in Indonesia..)

Kittel looks like he absolutely nailed the Palm Classic!
I take it only the 1st stage of Indonesia has been raced which is why I cannot see the other results yet - not real surprise a breakaway took that one. Will be interesting to see whaty happens on second stage - Cataldo should be set for a good finish in this one.

Last season in general, Bikex uploaded 3 stages/races per day, which is a big part of why this is such a fun and fast game. I suppose it's the same plan this season again.

The plan for this season is to have 4-5 stages a day.
Stage 2 and 3 are up now, the other ones to follow later. |

I like the sound of that. 
La Fundacion needs some more breakaway spirit, hmm. Maybe at least one of the guys shows himself in one the remaining stages.

I'd never expected Kudus to be 8th in GC in a CT race. I already love this guy.

VAN DER LIJKE!!!!!
He gets the win in his first ever race as a pro-continental rider, in TVM-Sanyo's first ever race day. What a bloody champion! No surprise that he lost the lead after that but he's really firing on all cylinders to stay in the top 5
This was always the plan of course, it's not like we sent Hoogz to lead the team there...

Awesome to see Cataldo in such dominant form there - brilliant road stage victory and celebration.
Great work BikeX as well in getting this going - how many planners did you have to fill in I wonder. I did expect some of the other big TT stage racers to be here in indonesia from the PCT but looks like Cat is the only one

Some more than I hoped for, but in the end it was not that much of a problem because of some managers I knew in time that they wouldn't be able to fill out the planner. Also I got a little help from knockout with it, so not so much of a problem.
Rest of Indonesia as well as stage #1 of Toowoomba up now! |

Not sure wat to think of Mollema, good he got some time on the pack, but getting beaten by Coppel and Brajkovic?
Anyway, good to see this underway as well
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Looking forward to our first stage win of the season, I fancy it will be Toowoomba stage 2.
Smowz gets the early upper hand in the continental ranks then, seems like a wise tactic to put a quality rider in a .2 race. |

Palm Classic was great for CSC. Kittel with the first big win of hopefully many. Although the leadout seems very much fucked up with only Sagan also in the top 40. Any news on that?
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Jerome Coppel? Really?
As predicted, we're fucking shit. Why did I keep Dennis, why?
