Well this will be an interesting final part of the race. Hanzen clearly with the advantage and clearly being the strongest rider. But Ciolek hanging on to give himself a real chance if he can put in a good TT effort (compared to Hanzen). And i wouldn't say Vermote or Wiggins is done yet...

Good and bad day for us . Veuchelen takes the KoM jersey, but neither Van Hummel or Boeckmans managed to sprint with the others. Ciolek will win this with seconds to Wiggins imo, Hanzen takes green jersey and hopefully F.Veuchelen can secure the KoM jersey next stage

Very well played by the team (Maybe now Hanzen can think about the decision of leaving were right or not - just joking)

I hate time bonuses but naturally, I'd rather Hanzen won than Wiggins. However, Birtles is losing a podium finish because of them.

I'm quite busy lately, so the Tour de Pologne is delayed until next week at its earliest.

Yeah I forgot about Ciolek's chances xD
----
Wp Abundi <3 ! He was not among the top 10 favorites for this stage, and I'm surprised that he avoided the obvious. Interesting that he rode better without help from his normal leadout, big thanks to L.Owsian for putting him in a good position <3

Personally I don't believe that he has a lead out at any time

The 2013 Tour of Wallonia takes place over 5 stages and features stages of varying terrain, meaning that an all rounder that can sprint will be best suited to this race.
The Favourites
Greg Van Avermaet, will go into the race as favourite, as he is a strong Ardennes Classics rider who can also fight it out with the best in the world when it comes down to a bunch sprint. However Thomas De Gendt, Rajesh Kakhi and Oscar Gatto will all try to knock him off the top as they are all strong Ardennes Classics riders, however without a stand out favourite this race appears to be wide open, as the hilly days, aren't as hilly as you may expect from the Ardennes, so perhaps the sprinters will be able to cling on over the key climbs.
The Sprinters
If the sprinters are able to stop attacks from the key riders, then Abasi Abundi appears to be the best placed to take the sprint, the young Nigerian riding for the CCC team, will have a strong team behind him and may be a rider to watch out for over the climbs.
Gert Steegmans is also a strong sprinter having won stages in the Tour De France in the past, his Omega Pharma team will all know the roads, however they appear to lack a rider who can take the GC victory.
Jurgen Roelandts isn't a pure sprinter, however that may suit him as he may be able to cling onto the climbers over the hillier days, so he could be an outsider for the overall victory, and with a strong team behind him, anything could happen.
Bryan Coquard is only 21, however it is clear he is a talent for the future, with his track background, he has a wicked turn of speed and may prove a great rival for Abundi in the flat stages of the race.
Well it appears that the winner for this race is anyone's guess, so perhaps this will provide us with some exciting and interesting racing.

*** Schroder (EUC), Kakhi (CSS), Van Avermaet (BMC)
** Chaves (COL), De Gendt (VCD), Leukemans (VCD), Pauwels (OPQ)
* Van Goolen (AJW) Galland (SOJ) Huzarski (TNE), Rutkiewicz (CCC)
The break of the day went away relatively early in the stage, the riders that were in it were: Van Leijen (LTB), Camacho (COL), Feunard (SOJ) and Nys (CRE)
Nys takes the first sprint of the day, followed by Van Leijen and Feunard.
Nys takes the second sprint of the day, followed by Feunard and Camacho.
Nys takes the first sprint of the day, followed by Van Leijen and Camacho. Then Nys attacked and soloed away did he have enough lead to get the win.
With 10 kilometres to go Nys still has two minutes, can he do it? He's the last breakaway rider left.
5km to go Nys has 1 minute 30 seconds on the bunch, but he has hit the climb and his legs are starting to fade.
2.5 km to go- Kakhi attacks but Nys still has a minute, can he do it?
900m to go - Nys has 30 seconds, but Schroder is coming and closing fast
Nys takes a well deserved victory, with Schroder taking a disappointing second, he'd of been hoping for the win.

Glad that one has started. Seems like it'll be a custom rider battle between Kakhi and Schroder.
Still no exports?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Strong third place by Kakhi and even more imporantly already a good gap onto the next guys. Looks like he could really win this race overall, but to do so he has to deal with strong Schröder.
@Joe: You sure you check for the exports in the right directory? Because they would certainly be nicer than the pics.

GOD FREAKING DAMNIT!!!!!!
DAMNIT!, DAMNIT!, DAMNIT!
why Feunard, why. didn't you follow Nys. might not have won but still a bloody amazing result would have followed.
also personal request, can you by (either PM or hide it in the report) the finishing position of Feunard and the time back on the winner?

Would be cool
Without your comment i would propably not noticed Schröder is there as he wasnt in the preview
However, great second place already. I would not call it disappointing though
@Joe: Is it possible that you add a pic of the profile at the beginning of each stage?
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Click on export and then it should show up in:
C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Documents\Pro Cycling Manager 2013\Users\YOUR ACCOUNT\Export\Exported_results or something like that. Please try to get the export files, they are quite essential for any report in my opinion.
Nice report still!
