Next season jersey must be accepted by more then 50% of all ManGame-managers. The Webeffect jersey are even worse than i thought them to be.
Pokerstars really had a great train there. I hope that there will be some more interesting sprints, otherwise we´ll see a boring race.

I don't understand why people thinks that the Webeffect jersey is so ugly. I actually think it looks really nice!

Well I guess I now know which of my sprinters will sprint in the race between Rowe vs. Rowe. It's the worst Rowe who'll go for it. Matt.
Still, nice to see Ratto do something in a race for me, only his 3rd season with the team, and possible the first time I've been aware of his presence in a race...!

The most thrilling part of the Qatar Tour is the wind. You`ll never know if the top 10 riders can stay in the first group. As Boasson Hagen they can lose all ambitions in one stage.
Also a breakaway can have luck with the wind and get a great gap. So much random things not to predict make this race so different from others.
Flat stages yes, boring, just if there is no wind. 
Congrats to Pokerstars. Even more impressing than Cerne in Tachira. |

Santander approves of CT teams winning the stupid PT races.

Well, I'm hoping for some yellow jersey magic now from Castaneda.
Quite bizarre the way none of the team managed to keep high in the standings - especially Rogers and the race leader Ivars.
EDIT - Having watched the video, seems they just sat up in the closing stages and were the wrong side of a gap. Sure it's going to happen again. The good thing about having the leaders jersey should be we'll only get caught like that at the finish and not in one of the mid-race splits....I hope.

Awesome. After losing the TTT, now only 2 riders left for a top 20 place in the GC or so. We need to change something soon or that 12th place that Crommy predicted might come true.
Yeah, I know it's only the first race and I don't have any sprinters but I'm still pissed off after losing the opening stage.

How can a strong guy on plains like Coppel be catched in the wind is beyond me. My all team except of him was in the peloton, I want to believe he was the guy who rode for bidons, I don't have another reason for this.. And the first thing which I probably messed up, I wasted his 6 race days on a race like this..
And Bewley messed the sprint really. Pokerstars and Mohs was somewhere else but he almost didn't started sprinting.. 'Quite poor' 4th place. Congrats beagle, that was really dream train.
My guys probably eat too much Milka in the evenings. Good results = more Vittel, less Milka.

Maybe I should have mentioned that Van Stayen can perform only if he has either Sieberg or Traksel with him

 Richeze...
I hope he can do better than that. He should at least be getting in the top 10...

Not so good a start, though we could do much better in the TTT and nowhere to be seen in the mass sprint the next stage. Can only get better from here on out
