Congrats to Cunego and Cafe de Colombia, commiserations to Santander and Madrazo. Great reports as ever, I'm eagerly awaiting the final stage. |

As ever a great read. Cunego has always been strong in these late time trials, he recuperates so well - that said Madrazo was amazing at the end of the Vuelta also. Barring absolute disaster it is mission accomplished for the little prince! Will he do enough to save his team from relegation?
Madrazo is clearly going to be a difficult rider to beat in future years, Phinney, Amador, Spilak, Uran and Pluichkin are certainly riders to keep an eye on though.

Cunego comes up with the goods, as expected. I like the way that TT ability matters less than a rider's abilit to perform over 3 weeks with their mountain and recovery stat.

Well very good reports as always and a overall a good race for my team, eventhough I'm missing that stage win (and I need those with only three to my name ALL season!).
Congrats to Café de Columbia on a great win with a great rider. Let's bring that winning spirit with us at l'Avenir !
One of the biggest result in team history having Pluchkin on the final podium in the Tour de France. He's taking it next year! I honestly don't care that much about the rankings, I just want to win this race
Congrats Cunego and ups to SN for enjoyable reads

Superb performance from Cunego - recovery really did look to play a big part in that TT.
Thanks for all the congratulations too. Appreciated.
Don't forget though that we still have to get through the final stage. |

And Sicard. He will definitely be a Tour de France contender in the future.

Nice to see Cunego managing to win the Tour in his last year before the stat decrease. Congrats to Fenian for taking a gamble and winning

Yeah, he's going to be almost as good as Sicard, TdF wise

Not his last year!
Frank Schleck, Boonen and valverde are the biggest names to have their first decrease at the end of this season.

Plus you have the likes of Monsalve, Talansky, Reis, and I believe Taaramae will improve in stats at the end of this season, becoming maxed out?
Also, how do stat decreases work? I've read about how stat increases work, but how does it work in the other direction? |

Oops, thought he was 32 already.
Well, then I take back what I said. I want him to crash out in the last stage and try again next year!

Nah, he needs to go win the Vuelta next year!

other notables: Popovych, Karpets, Caruso, Steegmans, Arroyo, Sinkewitz, Marchante, Kashechkin, Nuyens, Plaza, Bennati +++
Lots of top riders falling in stats, not to mention those who are already going down...

What about a swap deal with Uran - then you can send the Little Prince to the Vuelta?

I honestly don't understand it, Madrazo has the same recovery as Cunego, and is 5 stats better, yet can't gain any time at all.
Cunego has been better this tour though, so congrats Fenian. Madrazo will be back next year though.

Quite disappointing not to get the podium spot for Dekker. It hasn't really been Spyker's Tour (or season for that matter), but obviously some of it falls back on me - especially in regard to the weak backup team Dekker had with him. |

Fuck PCM-logic. When i have something that comes close to a lead-out man, the game doesn't use it.
Overall, very poor performance from my team, really disappointing race. Nontheless, great reports though, really enjoyed reading it.
Looking forward to the last part of the season, as Ricco should shine here. Still got quite a few races to go where i have a real leader, and a chance for success.
