Nice comfortable win for Cataldo in his first stage race - I have targetted these sorts of races with 'The Cat' in the main Chrono and hilly/mountains (as many .2 races as possible!). Hoping for a similar sort of win ratio with the team in red

La Fundacion needs some more breakaway spirit, hmm. Maybe at least one of the guys shows himself in one the remaining stages.
Next thing you know, VDP and Navarro each get 3rd place. Very pleased with them.

Kudus already 5th in a CT.2 stage race! That guy is just brilliant, #goodtransfer #thanksCarbonSports 
Hoping for some Bouhanni-action in Toowomba now...

De Backer missed out to catch the breakaway for a first Geox-Kalev victory...but some Top 5 stage results and one Chernetskiy the GC Top Ten is not too bad as we are one of the worst CT-Teams in the peloton

Incidentally how often do you show the overall rankings Bikex? Not expecting after every race of course is it more after every game month (starting at end of February)?

VAN DER LIJKE!!!!! 
He gets the win in his first ever race as a pro-continental rider, in TVM-Sanyo's first ever race day. What a bloody champion! No surprise that he lost the lead after that but he's really firing on all cylinders to stay in the top 5
This was always the plan of course, it's not like we sent Hoogz to lead the team there...
It then goes downhill to an 11th for him and 12th in the GC for Johnny, not exactly what we hoped for in Indonesia and we would've been better off staying with Johnny as leader. A top 5 in a stage from Van Poppel was not really enough from him, but with reduced support it's understandable. On the positive side, how on earth did Honigh do that well in the mountain time-trial after a poor start!
Now time for Theo to hopefully show why we paid him the big money.

Good podium finish for John, but I still can't figure out why my team sucks so much on TTT.  |

I'd say it is because you might have weak TT stats in there which negates the WTT champ, but then I see that Gazprom had a 62 TT in there! So, don't ask me.
We underestimated some of the other teams there, need a good selective stage on stage 4. |

Really, really disappointed by the TTT result of Liberty Seguros. I aimed to win this stage like last year, instead we get beat by way too many teams. Step it up boys. At least Navardauskas in the break.
@The Rider: Probably has something to do with dropping the weaker TT riders and then actually racing faster? At least it was this way at the WC TTT with Fiat Bianchi.

Excellent ride from Mollema, unfortunately the team let him down in the TTT or it would've been a win
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Toowoomba was not good for CSC. The first wasted RDs of Sagan in his first stage race. It seems the -1 HI hurts a lot more than I thought. I used him as a puncheur mainly and that will be difficult now 
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |
