The team is doing very wel, mest be because of me and bwiggins' pack
In the next episode, could you maybe show the rankings of victories and points in the Continental rankings?
Great effort with Gibson, but too bad he didn't succeed.
But at least the team won!

Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar!
@owen10ozzy, thanks for the advice. I'm definitely going to have to try something. The next sprint stage is stage six and with the hills that are in the stage, some of the pure sprinters might be a bit tired. Maybe someone might be able to get away near the end but usually on this game, the peloton's going so damn fast, you can't attack, even if you have Cancellara!
@anderspcm, the jersey definitely helps . Can't wait to get the South African champ's jersey out soon. I will go through results and rankings after the Tour de Taiwan.
@547984, +5 wasn't quite enough for Tyler but I'm sure he'll get another chance soon .
Great start in Taiwan I hope Rodriguez will find a way to help Bekele and still secure his actual Top 10 overall. Also he has a higher fighter stat than Bennet like you said in the video
Again, I have to apologise for the random bits of commentary in it (because they are really loud ). Honestly, my speakers don't work so there is no sound being recorded except for my voice at the time. It's really strange .
Couple of good stage win's ...AI not feeling to generous it would seem!
Points Jersey and TOP 5 would be respectable I think...perhaps the computer was just sick of you winning Brewer!
After such a long wait to see Meek in action...this has been a complete non event of a race for me! :/ He might as well have stayed at home with his KOTM Jersey!
Really a lot of wins for the team, really impressive

Thanks as ever guys. A few comments here and there definitely helps the motivation .
@owen, what do you mean a non-event? He's done very well considering the terrain doesn't really suit him. He attacked on stage 2 and on stage 5 he did a very good job on the long climb in the middle, setting a high pace which split the peloton into about 6 or 7 smaller groups, and ultimately ended in a stage win for his teammate. I would say that's pretty good . As I said before, just because you don't see your rider doing anything when I'm recording at the end of the stage, doesn't mean he hasn't done anything at all.
@mvhoogdalem and 547984, NO DOPING, honestly . Seeing as they're your riders, it's your fault if you're caught. I will fire you and report to the relevant authorities . Zero tolerance.
@FroomeDog99, Kumano is doing very well, although the AI is affecting his usefulness. I'm sure the points will come if he keeps doing his job .
As for the amount of victories, I am regretting not going Pro Conti a bit tbh. The Conti teams are just nowhere near as good as us and, with the WT bug, we only have the other Pro Conti teams to beat. Which, as you can see in Taiwan, is still a challenge, particularly in the sprints. But I think the .2 races are going to be pretty easy.
Ah ok Brewer fair enough pal; as you said I hadn't seen any of that and i'm pretty sure you hadn't mentioned it. As long as he is pulling his weight ill happy. What I would say though is that if at all possible and of course when you see fit I would like to see my man go for the KOTM jersey! This is I feel where he will thrive in his early career....although of course I realise I have to help out when we have a real shot at a stage win etc.
First Stage win for Yamada! And so unexpected! What a ride!
Shame that I couldn't help our leader though. Guess if that sky train would have worked out Bekele might sit at 1st place.
But 2nd and 5th in GC is still very good. Great job by the whole team as always! Let's finish Taiwan with a sprint win from Hashir to demonstrate our overall domination again.
Sorry guys, there won't be a video today but don't worry, I'm still alive .
@owen and bennettWPS, to both of you, I get why you might be a bit worried but you're doing a job for the team as and when you need to. The terrain doesn't suit Meek in Taiwan but he did a great job on the climbs. And Bennett is nowhere near fit enough to be challenging at the front. There's no point using his bars and tiring him out for 50th place.
@kyanto, I think the best way to describe Yamada's stage win is "WTF, that was lucky!" There was never a plan to let him go on the attack, but before I'd realised, he was a minute ahead of the peloton, so I just told him to carry on. If any of the other riders had been on the front, then they would have won the stage instead. That's the AI for you!
@NTTHRASH, thanks. Pronunciation noted, who'd have thought the name I struggled to pronounce would be an American!!
