A narrow road problem? Sorry, i dont quite understand.
A narrow (small) road could give some strange results, because riders will get blocked etc.

The fifth place is a good result for Niv but in the overall this race was very disappointing for the team... |

We were mainly quiet here, attacking once and no GC either, hope it will improve later on...

The second stage saw 4 of my riders finish in the main group which is good. Unfortunately ny positioning was bad and ended up getting 48th and 77th. Pavel ended up 40th in GC and ended up 8 seconds behind in the U25classification.
And 16th in the teams classification was good considering i dont have a strong climbing team.
Looking forward to the next race

Very impressed with the 4th overall, didn't expect anything like that.

Happy with that. Winning the team ranking is definitely very good, although towards the end I though Wu might've taken the GC. Oh well . Congrats to Rucanor!

I'm really disappointed!
Disappointed about the absence of managing skills on my side.
...final statement after Haut Var:
Tough luck for my guys.
Need to say that I'm sorry for them, I'm sorry for our awesome scandinavian fans and I'm sorry for our great sponsor: Zoegas.
Due to my lack of skills I misjudged the second stage in France,... ah the whole race.
200 plus kilometres in rainy rough terrain. It never came to my mind that this could end in 100 plus bunch sprint.
Given the chance I really do my best to improve.
Gratz to Stamsnijder and Rucanor who outsmarted us and the other promising contenders!
Great reporting, thanks roturn! |

In general this race was weird. Probably nobody had expected 2 hilly stages to be that less selective. Me neither and this is indeed quite disappointing.
That Zoegas was incredibly unlucky is hopefully for you a one time issue.
@LLS: University has started again, so less time, plus other races probably need to be reported first. So there is no specific date yet for the next race obviously. |

Woo hoo, first win for iBanesto. Mate finishes off a hard day's work by the team. A deserved win I think given the way we rode at the front from pretty early. Pity there weren't bigger gaps but I am happy with the stage. |

Jay, it was more an ingame-rpg-statement I made...
I'm far from ranting about any unpredictable and strange AI behaviour.
Whole teams having a very bad day are realistic, too.
Each time another pic of a fallen Zoegas rider appeared my sighs were getting longer. Shows me I'm moved and entertained. Thumbs up for the MMG! |

Oh well, best rider was 24th.. nothing to celebrate
But yeah, weird that everybody stayed in the same group. Nonetheless, congrats to the winner Stamsnijder! He was the smartest out there. |
