Samuel upping his result a bit, but should still be able to beat Luis Leon... |

Vinokourov 5th in the stage and 18th overall  his TT is okay so.. I hope he can keep it up
same for mugerli for the KOM jersey 
it seems I'm getting more points here then expected 
but... rabobank getting too many again as well |

Joaquin needs to pull his finger out his arse before that final TT, otherwise a top 20 GC will be all he'll be good for.

I loled when i saw EBH's results on that stage. But I felt bad after if its any consolation.
On the upside, Monfort in 4th
im sure a_schleck will be happy to hear that
nice to see monfort working out well there
Yeah I'm over it already.
Geez, what the heck is the matter with my team? Did he even try to go in stage 3?
I got a stage win, so apparently it's too much to ask that he stays with a 24-man front group!? Something tells me this is not going to be Hagen's year.

wow, santambrogio now 12th in GC. how unexpected was that
still... mugerli needs to start taking some KOM points
so far, I've been in every BotD, so my team is doing exactly as they're told too bad Santambrogio couldnt keep up with Lobato. |

Sámuel Sanchez in 4th definately NOT acceptable, and he haven't been close to winning a stage either. That really is bad... |

Just wondering - Why do you always seem so angry about how your riders do? (When not winning)

2 stage wins is brilliant (especially after i paid way too much for leipheimer) and gilbert is 4th on gc + will move past schleck tomorrow and possibly sanchez

So it's a certainty that Gilbert will beat Schleck in a hilly time trial? We'll see about that.

Yeh, PPDB make it so all GC contenders have a minimum 70/71 tt stat so that they do actually go for the GC - I believe a TT stat below 70 makes riders more likely to just go for KoM instead.
(And the man game comes from a PPDB db afterall)

yeah, KOM jersey is mine finally great job Mugerli!
also 13th and 25th in GC is much better then expected. both arent too bad time trialists so I'm scoring more points then expected. perfect |

one more stage to go, and hopefully Luis Leon will complete his season's main personal goal. Plus we should take home the points jersey, and he took our teams first stage victory. So far, so good.

Because I'm passionate about the game? That, should really be a plus in my book? |

The thing that strikes me as odd, is that your riders aren't that much better than mine, and all i expect is a top 10 finish on a stage on a good day. You seem to expect to win this race with Sammy, which anyone could see would just not occur. He's as good (bad?) as Joaquin Rodriguez.

In my book, Enjoyment > Anger at not winning
But each to his own.

In which DB is that?
Samuel Sánchez is 77 climb, 81 hilly and 69 sprint or so... That is just MUCH better than Joaquin... |

Well i'm not really angry, a bit dissapointed that's about it... I really want to try to be 1st just once in this season, and I think that pre-Giro is my only chance of doing so :-)
I'm not angry at all, because I'm getting quite good results this season... Like the early season last season... |
