Last race of the season for the team after that remains to prepare the next season..
But in that division? I hope that Kupfernagel can repeat the brilliant stage that has had this season and that Vakoc capable of being among the best
A stacked Sprint field here but I think Bouhanni could deliver the goods if Anton Martin and Reza help out and create a sprint train. He has outsprinted the likes of Avelino before so I can hope.
In the other 3 stages I'm going to have to rely on some breakaway luck as I do have a few riders who could be dangerous here.
Good luck Siam and CoC.
I don't think this is by any means a top sprint field, so a great opportunity for Bouhanni there. But not the strongest puncheur field either, so more of a chance for Chernobyl.
Us or Euskaltel? Hard to tell really as we rely on 2 different strategies here. On one side a good GC and a few decent results from Prevar, or Efimkin if he decides to not be as crappy as he's been this season, and on the other a team which brings a decent enough sprinter to score a few points but has no real men for the GC. Even Siam could still be in danger, and Kip is by no means a consistent points scorer, so if both our (CoC and Euskaltel) strategies pay off I could actually see them taking the final relegation spot.
Will be exciting!

Looking for a spot in the day one break, or minor points from the GC or Fonseca sprinting. Anything is welcome regarding our top20 team goal, but it seems more likely we score big by Di Maggio in Japan.
Obviously this will be an exciting race to follow for a multitude of reasons, I can finally focus on the thrilling relegation fight, but also I'd like to keep that second place now that we got there.
I don't know if SN adjusted the mo/hil ratio, but if he didn't, it's impossible to look past VdHH because those stages look massive.
Prevar seems strong, could be good. Also I'm now remembered to the fact he's still U25, which could give us the few points we need to survive. Last race as U25 though, which is a shame.
But yeah, very glad the game finally decides Prevar is my leader and not crappy Efimkin.

Would be nice to see Red Bull make use of a wildcard to try something on one of these stages - bought my two chinese stars here. They have done little of note in the PT but hoping they can say 'Hewoah' at some point here.
First stage hilly stage in stage race BS. Let's see if it is the decisve GC moment.
Disappointed not to have a guy in that breakaway.
But on the positive side at least CoC only scored a couple of points there. As pointed out that U25 classification will probably get them over the line.
Impressive by the break to gain a minute on the final climb.
Rbc continue their nice recent form and risa, Who have slightly dissapointing lately steps up again with a huge break-away result.
Hoping for something to happen by my guys so I atleast get a mention somewhere.
