Don't know if I like the fact that Hushovd tries to attack... I don't really want him to lose ground as he should be able to sprint at 4th or 5th best in the front group, Nolf was really the man to try for a jump... |

I believe you are unfamiliar with slight sarcasm intertwined with slightly complaint.

For the love of god... Pozzato was the one man who shouldn't get back. Crap! |

Looks like I would need all the luck in the world to have Hushovd in top 5 now. It does look, however that I will have 2 riders in top 15. Hopefully they will do their utmost to get in the top 10 both, whilst I don't really believe that to be possible... |

With the positions I had I can't really be happy with 10th and 13th...
I had expected something like 7th or 8th for Thor, but I guess it will have to do. Atleast I'm not in the situation of Rabobank, who I suspect I will be breathing HEAVILY in the neck now, perhaps even overtaking with 88pts, without knowing whether Geslin made it to top 25 or not... |

94 pts for me... That will be VERY close to getting 2nd. Wikipedia will be right in my back and I suppose Rabobank will also be slightly behind, but 2-3-4 will all be within 50 pts or so  |

Wow, 12th for Langey., Boom in the top 30, and de Haes somewhere in the top 50 too. Nice and consistant for the team. Just keeping the points ticking over

Somehow I doubt Accumalux will ever be catching up with Festina this season though

You never know. You tend to know quite a bit about tactics, where I have screwed up from time to another... Looks to be a good season for me though as we have no real weakness', these types of races are some of the worst and if we can get 3 guys in top 20 every time we won't be loosing too much ground here |

Considering that I only have Schleck plus cameos from Franco and Intxausti, youve got a more all-round squad

True but I bet that both Schleck and Pellizotti will be getting more points than my best rider... That could be important...
My big hope is that Castaño and Contador will be strong enough to do very good GT's, if that is the case I should be around top 3-5 by the end of the season... |

you can be a little more optimistic
I really think you'll be doing top 3. |

Perhaps. Last year I thought top 5 was destined to be, but I ended up in 9th I think... Wasn't really happy with that |
