Yep, glad Kinoshita didn't come here. Just not selective enough for him to really shine. Kuboki and Mutsumine both only 28seconds off the lead. Crazy luck could see us finish with a Top 10 here, which would beat my expectations for sure.

Saw a bit of action, Dowsett trying to facilitate an attack before the finish but to no avail and a nice little sprint from Pichon, sadly didnt get him on the podium on the stage but damn it was close! Would be nice to see some more selective AI but I am no gonna complain too much so far! Bring on stage 3! Great reports so far as SN!

Oof. Another really boring drag race. I didn't expect so little selection and lack of attacks. JJ basically has no chance to do anything then cause there's nowhere to go. not that he looks that great anyway. Hopefully he pulls out something on stage 3, or it's just another anonymous minor placing.

Did not see that coming! Thanks for the congrats.
Positioning rather than sprinting the key to a win which is rather random. Will take it as I am sure lady luck will be equally willing to hand us the bad variety 
Thanks for the extra vowels in the report SN

How does a whole team of punchers all lose 7 minutes on a stage like this?

With one stage left, it looks very promising so far. My level 1 talent Nych is wearing KOM jersey and Gougeard is leading U25 competition..even Izagirre were seen near the front of bunch, riding out of saddle!
How the point calculation works when more riders (in this case up to 11 in U25 competition) finish with the same time?

It works normal, as the tie-break in-game is based by sum of places in stages, unlike Points or KoM standings. So whoever finishes 1st gets 10 points, 6 for the 2nd and so on

Would've loved this result early on in the season when I was for sure we'd be in a relegation battle.
Right now though I'm so goddamn scared of Lutsenko's wage demand in the offseason.. He's beasting through even more than I had hoped for.
Thanks roturn for the hard work finishing this off and to Dave for the long-expected GC win!

Thank you very much roturn for finishing this one!
Had no idea how the standings were before, but two top 25s is certainly not bad from puncheurs I've never seen in a promising attack.
Congrats Kraftwerk!

Cerny doing shit all thus missing the youth jersey and ranking points by not using his great sprint.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Lucky you.
Did re-calculate the U25 rankings and Cerny won!
Also Gougeard 3rd over Paulus in 4th.
Was a problem with the recreating of the cdb, where it didn`t had SN`s stage result included but only race results. |

Aggh that was a close one for Bystrom. Fourth in the stage and 8th in GC is a great result to keep the points coming in the promotion battle

2,5M wage incoming  Btw, are you still convinced you have nothing to do with the promotion battle?

Thanks for finishing this! GC 5th and stage 2nd for Pichon is great! Lutsenko is just impossible to beat.
Totally missed Rybakov KoM, the way I read the report he missed out on it! Great race! Not enough to save us from relegation but good race nonetheless!
Also taking the Teams' classification, I should really read results better

Thanks so much to Roturn for finishing this one!
Ultimately it was a pretty trash race though. Not often you see puncher stage races finishing with 20 guys on the same time.
Sucks to lose team classification on the countback after finishing on the same time, but JJ wasn't aggressive enough, and that basically defines how we perform in each race.

Thanks to roturn for raising this race from the grave and for the congrats.
Flügel hanging on after his surprise sprint win on stage 2 giving us another points boost at the end of the season, might even make the top 10 goal at this rate

Thanks a lot for finishing the race even though Gautier didn't quite carry his form over the break. Still a GC podium in a race like this is huge for us and it will be nice to finally get this race into the rankings!
