thanks guys
Serebriakov feels good, and so we everyone works for him in this relatively easy race
The whole team worked for Serebriakov today since the competition isnt that good, we neutralize all breaks and it all looksgood, Serebriakov picks a wheel early but then, in a small French suburb Serebriakov meets the wet French roads
Serebriakov wanted to go around the Moscow rider but still falls because the Frenchies are standing on the road! :anger:
And so our leader is down, not badly injured but still, the Moscow riders were the ones responsible for the crash but still they are today's winners!
Maksimov takes the win in a race which was full of rain and drama for the nippo team

Serebriakov is yet again our leader, but the hilly ending might prove to be handy for a breakaway
Well we wanted to get Wu in the break again but now most teams knew about him and so he was caught, Saramotins attacked with him for some reason but they let the Latvian champ go together with Aldape, he is chanceless like this and so Fukushima attacks who gets 8 others in his wheel.
Fukushima in front of Saramotins for whom Fukushima will work today
The most dangerous sprinters in the group who Saramotins has to look out for are Gerard, Savini and Aldape, these last 2 can be dangerous since they are teammates! Then with 20 kms to go 2 Frenchies who really cant sprint at all attack, Drancourt and Mespoulede have a decent gap and since the others dont do to much Fukushima sacrifices himself, he has to pay the price for it but because of his hard work we do get a sprint which could be favourable for Saramotins!
 
Unfortunately for Fukushima the helpers never get so much credit, but he did an amazing job today as Drancourt and Mespoulede are caught!
In the sprint Saramotins picks the wheel of Savini who is in Gerard's wheel, who will it be today?
Arnaud Gerard wins in front of Savini and Saramotins!

Serebriakov is our sprinter here, but since a break will probably make it because of the small field everyone has a free role
The sun shined and in the morning 7 riders get away to create a very international group with the Croatian Danculovic being in it for Nippo, but since he's so much stronger on the climbs he sneaks away with 50 kms and his lead is slowly growing!
 
Left: The group of 7, Right: Danculovic on his way to victory?
Danculovic has 2 minutes with 30 kms to go and he seems to make, but then with 15 kms to go the AI gets some energy bonus as his lead, for no reason dissapears :x He is caugth with 5 kms to go and in the sprint he ends 4th but it could have been much more...a Dutchman wins in Buckinghampshire
Vendrig wins by a small margin as he beats Frey and Van Den Burg

Rous is our leader here without a doubt
Not so much to say about this race, lots of useless breaks were neutralized by Cofidis and AG2R but then with 30 kms to go the first serious attack is placed by...Moreni! :x He builds up a nice lead and on the final hill Gerrans and Clement decide to attack, Rous tries to follow them but cant join them as he gets Laurent with him and Marichal who went along with Moreni but simply couldnt handle his pace. Gerrans comes closer but not close enough as Moreni wins, Rous ends on a nice 5th place
Bah...
