Bouygues 
Wouldn't surprise me if Roelandts took all four remaining stages too. Bouygues and Metinvest both look set for big scores

Okay, how many more wins does Bouygues need to take the division title? 
Still I have to sympathize with them for taking the late-season gamble with Faso just as we did. A shame another team I like gets pushed down by them, whoever it eventually will be.
(not saying I don't like Bouygues!)

Boygues is....wow.....I am speakless.
Our own TTT was brilliant, with a podium for our guys, setting up Gavenda and Nooytens before the cobbles  |

I hate you Crommy 
Freaking 1 second short from our premiere TTT win. But the race is obviously going great for us, with our riders all over the GC top15. Hopefully Vasylyuk can remain on the podium for rest of the race and we can score nice points to close our season (and beat HTC for best former C2 team). 
Whatever points Bouygues left to rest of the field,we gather.

Veelers doing what he has to and no big opponents in this race. Now the cobbles have to bring Veeleers back to the top 5.

Stallaert getting us a vague handful of points there
I'm just worried that the AI won't do anything with the cobbled stage or at the very least that the race won't break up and this will be 10 completely wasted days.

No events = good in my book. As long as it isn't like this on the big cobbles stage.

A good couple of stages with our riders moving up the overall a bit. I suspect that'll all be undone though on the cobbled stage. |

Schinker and Stallaert fought Abdallah here, which makes Kenya Airways' tactics seem bizarre. Why send Marque in the break, if you want Schinker to have a chance at gaining bonus seconds?
We're finishing he season in an incredibly poor fashion, need something to give us a final kick into the top ten of the rankings, fulfill that goal and start afresh. |

Yeah there's no way Vanspeybrouck is bringing back the whole deficit to Roelandts tomorrow unless he goes absolutely insane over the cobbles. I'd settle for a podium place overall, which would hopefully be enough to bring us up to about Prio-Porto's point total. Can you give us some idea of how long the cobbled section in the next stage is?

My ream's logic is to win sprint points to gain bonus seconds to move up in GC and then fuck the finishing sprint Why does it help to move Abdallah up in the GC when he's going to get dropped on the cobbles?

Looking really forward to the cobbles now. Most of my riders have placed themselves high in the GC and we have 3-4 guys capable riding on cobbles, so I really hope there are some sort of selection.
My prediction is that Boygues is putting all their riders in front when entering the cobbles, slowing the peloton down and blocking all attempts from BPost to make up some speed, and then release Roelands just in time for the finish.

Podium for Vasylyuk seems lost now. On the the cobbles now, our best rider has like 63 stat there, will be funny.
Hopefully we can salvage top5 with Vasylyuk and several more in top25, they have good positions to do that. We need lesser selection obviously, but Bpost will try to tear it apart....

PCM AI strikes again.
Hilarious way to stop that Bouygues domination. Bpost gets rewarded for their cobbled focus. And both teams gain a lot of points in the promotion fight. |
