By the way, I decided not to give punishments for mistakes in your first 3 startlists yet. Punishments will return for mistakes or lateness for the big PM.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Rankings updated, BMC closes the gap with the top 5. Sagan increases his point ratio compared to the rest of the team, he's above 90% now.
Also an interesting fact from the first season part maybe. Only 3 teams managed to score points in all their races: Belkin (which is amazing, since they used the most race days), RadioShack and most surprisingly Saxo-Tinkoff, despite that they're not even in the top 10.

Hey,
is there any chance you could extend the deadline by a few hours, so i can send it in tomorrow after school? Maybe by six hours or so? That wouldn't make a big difference to you, would it?

It will, since it will be monday before I'm available again.
But seeing as I still need quite a few, I'll extend the deadline anyway. Get it in this weekend

Do we hold the record for scoring in the least amount of races?

Vuelta a Pais Vasco Preivew
This year's Tour of the Basque Country will feature six tough stages, that will test the mettle of the WT peloton. The race will surely be very exciting, as every stage is a chance for the GC to be shaken up. There will be six stages, five of them hilly, and the last stage will be a 24 km individual time trial that should be the deciding factor in the GC.

The Route
The first stage is going to be a tough day for the riders, and we should see a select bunch finish take the stage and the first leader's jersey.
The second stage is categorized as "flat", but I would not call that profile flat. This stage suits the breakaway, and I think one will make it to the line in this one.
The third stage is the first of two summit finishes in the Basque stage race, and this is the first day that the GC men will tested by their competitors.
The summit finish at Eibar is the queen stage of this year's will shake up the GC, with 3 cat 2 climbs and 2 cat 1, this stage is for the real hard-men.
As if the last two stages weren't hard enough, stage 5 features 9 categorized climbs. This day could many ways, a breakaway, select group, or maybe a solo attacked could win it in the downhill.
The final stage of the Vuelta a Pais Vasco is a 24 km hilly time trial, that will shake up the General classification and decide the final winner of this tough race.
Favorites
*** Michal Kwiatkowski, Rui Costa, Daniel Moreno
** Albasini, Contador, Evans, Sithembele, Porte
* Talansky, Anton, Spilak, LL Sanchez, Vannedert, Peraud, Fuglsang
It should be an exciting race, and stay tuned for the first stage later today!

No Rodriguez or Valverde 
Cadel Evans sixth favourite
The second stage flat?
And then I see Cervero not mentioned in the favourites and all is back to normal .
This should be a great race for the "neutrals" like myself. I have no aims in this race so let's see if Cadel can surprise me and actually do something.

Similar to me, though i'm expecting a Top 10 from Talansky, given the not so high competition and the TT. Still, should be very entertaining.

I doubt Antón will be our captain, I'd expect that honour to go to Samu.
Excited so see what can happen when we come in our strongest possible mountain set-up!

Damn what list did i sent? I wanted to let Valverde race instead of Intxausti but i have no idea what i did with my big PM.. 
(The mistake is on my end. I checked it)
Did you already raced it? If not, can i still change it? (Its still time until the deadline)  )
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Cervero expects a lot here.
A top 200 should be possible. |

#LeFaucon is excited to race again! He look forward to being a key man for ALM and hopes to reach the Crit Int level again
#EPICfdj have faith in Cervero (don't ask why, even we don't really know) and believe he can deliver a good stage result and solid GC performance. While a weak team for us there is still good capacity for results
