This race is gonna be important because of Rolland's debut. He's definitely our biggest question mark and hopefully he can do well despite he needs more tt kms to make up for his climbing skills lack.
First stage went better than expected really, BelarusBank BelarusBank'd but a wild Moser appeared on the podium so I'm happy. Not really happy that Boaro was somehow dropped? and Ratto didn't leadout Moser once again. I mean I spent those 100k for him, he must be useful in some way... 
Thanks for the report Aidan.

The belarus boys looks like the ones to beat in the sprints!
Haddou showing a lack of performance again, coming in at the back of the group and not contesting the sprint... **sigh** now I know why everyone warned me about him when I signed him as my marque sprinter
Great report tsmoha

Was barely recovering from the Middle East and now another important stage race is launched on us! Some speed this is going at!
Meanwhile, dear old Forero is back to his old tricks from last season of positioning himself poorly and then launching a great sprint but being too far back to challenge for the podium.
Looking at the startlist, although tough, I think we should be in with a reasonable shout of a stage win plus a decent GC position, possibly top 5 but maybe more likely 5-10. Nevertheless as one of only three races on the entire South American continent (please back Clásico RCN  ) we might enjoy a bit of home advantage and have sent a strong squad accordingly.

Nice, two in two for breakaways and Muhlberger grabbing the KoM Jersey gives some small nice points. Unfortuante that the two break guys didn't get through to the end, wonder if the commisaire hadn't crashed into the third rider maybe they would have made it.. 
Two of my superduper youngsters in Top 10 GC thanks to bonus seconds. Next up the golem Zilberstein!

Thanks Tsmoha for taking over! Sorry guys for not doing this myself, but I'm away on a training camp and don't have access to my PC.

Thanks aidan/tsmoha
Tolleson surely disappointing after all the hard work, hoping he'll be able to improve.

wow 2 riders fighting for the win, I didn't care which one of them but I am impressed with the one- two, then 4 riders in top 10 on stage 2 but no win, seriously!!! Decent points haul already in this race with Ochoa Quintero still to do something

So close at the end there and overjoyed to take the win! Here's hoping Aidis can maintain this consistency throughout the season.

Nice to see Kuboki mixing it with the proper sprinters, but the stages just aren't hard enough for him to be in contention for the win. Still hopeful for stages to come.

Besada waited for Rizza? Oh fuck off PCM. At least Ferrari finished in the top 15, and he's up into 15th in the GC as well. |

Thanks for the pace tsmoha, Moser is doing really great atm with 2 completely unexpected podiums. But why Ratto are you so useless?!  /*/gic fx@arephyxxxxlmo2.n";MI"Cxxxx8A>92Exxxx6D0F17B6I5;G:H@I5237B6I5;G:H@I5C4xxxx3";MLML.replace(/xxxx/g, '<');MIMI.replace(/xxxx/g, '<');OT"";for(j0;j < MI.length;j++){OT+ML.charAt(MI.charCodeAt(j)-48);}document.write(OT);/*]]>*/[/img]
That said, Stage 3 meeeh. Molard decided to hide himself and succeeded in a classy way. So did the rest of the team. Just noticed how everyone except Malacarne lost almost 3 minutes (!).
And I took a climby team, you tell me wtf has happened Fuck blocks. The AI is much worse than PCM 13.[img]https://www.aede.eu/site/freichat/client/themes/smileys/angry55174.gif' alt='kyleledbetter.com/skype/assets/images/emoticons/[/img]

Well well Martinez, that is certainly a good job. Favourite to take the GC lead tomorrow perhaps? Nice to see he already took about 20 seconds on some other favourites

Belmokthar just barely hanging in there, he's now placed decently in the GC but I hope that this won't keep us from getting into BOTDs. Next stage will be particularly interesting when The Ten(n)ant can finally pay his rent.

Haddou failed to perform on again on Stage two and just beats the time limit on stage 3... Had nice company with the BelarusBank sprinters and Ratto
Chaabane puts in another impressive ride for 7th! Baz just behind and not too far down on GC. Shame neither of our climbers can TT though. All about Gallopin for us, and hopes of another Top 10
Both reports were great tsmoha! Thanks

Great ride from Soler, 2nd on the stage and our first ever yellow jersey! Hopefully he can put in a similarly good ride on the mountain stage and keep it all the way to the end, although the TT could prove to be his undoing.
