If my team has any shot of doing anything, then its going to take a breakaway, so my guys need to get in them, which they apparently aren't interested in doing |

Nice to see the Volta underway, I have been looking forward to it for some time now, as it will be very decisive in the promotion battle.
Great prologue win by De Gendt, he is really had an amazing season. He actually has the same amount of wins as Pluchkin now.
Also smart move by Hacecky to stick in there with that group on stage 2.
I'm content with this start.

Good move by power to get in the break, if only he could have held on, with his 74 sprint, he most likely would have won |

Even in the management game I have to put up with Candido Barbosa? Dammit.
Rodrigues only lost 20 something seconds so he can make it up by winning one stage. As far as the sprints go, not really my speciality. Only brought Cardoso because of the home bonus.

Stupid Cya-logic, making Grivko attack instead of Mestre

Well, like expected, it will be between Ribeiro and Kohl. A top 3 is all I ask of my team. I just want to meet the sponsor goal.

Probably, but it might not be for another hour.

In that case I guess I'll go to bed. Don't want to stay up for another hour just to see Barbosa win another stage.

Woooo Scotty!
That win however is still ellusive, but getting the KoM and Leaders jersey is great.
Nathan Miller is also a great talent. He seems to be in every breakaway
Raisin is still up there, less than a minute down on the favorites.

Kohl is the main favorite at this point. Ribeiro is next and then there's a group of 7/8 riders that can finish in 3rd. But the top two will be Kohl and Ribeiro, unless something abnormal happens.
As for my team, I guess Rodrigues is not the leader. Van Huffel seems to be the way to go.

Didn't think Nydam would hang on to the lead for so long...

Mestre better have diamond legs on stage 10, as he has been dissapointing so far. I'm impressed that Grivko clings on to the top though.
Also, nice ride by Nydam!

We are still waiting on that stage win. Maybe Meatball can score big in the next two stages. However I think Slipstream will race to hold Scotty's lead 2 more days instead of going for Friedman.
Scotty won't keep the lead on the queen stage so I hope that Raisin starts racing for himself.
