Nice preview, some good stage racers turning up for several WT teams (plus Caja and AG2R). We (Drapac) are definitely a team for the breakaways here but Rory has some decent support in the mountains if we're not aggressive enough to get in the break.
As jandal pointed out, you can add Tomo Hatanaka as an EPIC rider for us

Are you serious? Anacona my GC leader instead of Johnson? What sort of crack are you on?

Good preview, the field is a lot stornger than last year, but that might go for most races
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

As I said plenty of mistakes, I was looking at HQ's for stats until I realised at the CT teams that I could just look at the actual db. I knew Anacona was a good climber and put him in. I'll replace him with Johnson and check if Johnson is worth it in a position in a classification later, also, I'll post stage reviews if I can find profiles online, otherwise I'll use the PCM one's tomorrow.

Hoping to finally get that stage win in San Luis. Also, our GC leaders are Burton and Sagan. |

Generally I just wrote none if I didn't think they had a capable rider (see Lampre, they have none) although I can add them if you need.

Other than saying Golas is a sprinter, you are not quite wrong with your predictions

Well he's not a climber.
I'll take him off, as I said, expect mistakes.

Don't worry about, once the racing starts, people will be so busy complaining about the AI, they forget all about the preview

Gabon was rubbish, won't waste any words on that.
San Luis should be very exciting. 2nd race, 2nd goal. Hintermüller is quite strong and this race should suit him perfectly. Unfortunately failed to bring a lead-out for Ciolek. Top-10 should be possible, given how close Josef was despite the stage 1 horror.
Also we have Tekeste and Kudus making their debute here, should be exciting to see what they'll accomplish.

Ok, I'll add him. Although GC will be harder this year.

When will the Tour down Under start? I don't want to sound impatient, but OPQS wants to start the season

La Tropicale Amissa Bongo stage 7
Welcome to the last stage of La Tropicale Amissa Bongo. The stage today is 126 km long and we finish in Gabon's capital Libreville after an 8-lap circuit around the city. Don't be surprised if the breakaway wins again. They have won 4 out of 6 stages so far. Maybe Movistar will cause the same chaos as they did on stage 2.
125 km to go
Straight from the start there are 9 riders on the attack, looking to get into that winning breakaway. Everyone is content to let them go and they build up a lead of 2 minutes in just 1 kilometer. Delage (Cofidis), Ershov (RusVelo), Hansen (Lotto), Bilbao (Euskaltel), Gerard (Bretagne), Quintero (Colombia), Peron (Novo Nordisk), Marycz (CCC) and Di Corrado (Bardiani) are at the front. Many of these riders were already in breakaways on previous stages, so they do know how to stay in front of the peloton.
90 km to go
The front group has received a maximum lead of 4'50 and now the usual teams are starting to chase.
75 km to go
The front group has entered the circuit through the city of Libreville and the crowds are huge. Hopefully the peloton gets some inspiration from this. However, the police will have to be more alert as this woman is standing on the road and is lucky not to get hit. The peloton follows at 3'40.
70 km to go
The men in orange dominate the KoM sprint and it is Bilbao crossing the line first. With a total of 15 points available on this stage, there is still a chance to take home the mountain jersey.
KoM 1:
1. Bilbao (Euskaltel) - 5 points
2. Marycz (CCC) - 3 points
3. Gerard (Bretagne) - 1 point
The intermediate sprint a few kilometers later is won by Peron, although no one really bothers with it.
Sprint 1:
1. Peron (Novo Nordisk) - 6 points
2. Delage (Cofidis) - 4 points
3. Gerard (Bretagne) - 2 points
45 km to go
Ershov wins the 2nd KoM sprint and Bilbao only gets 3rd, which means that RusVelo's Boev will win the mountain jersey this year. Unless something happens from the peloton in the next 18 kilometers. The peloton follows a bit later at almost 3 minutes and once again they are having trouble closing the gap to the breakaway.
KoM 2:
1. Ershov (RusVelo) - 5 points
2. Delage (Cofidis) - 3 points
3. Bilbao (Euskaltel) - 1 point
And the sprint 3 kilometers later is won by Bilbao. Meanwhile, Movistar comes to the front. This inspires the other chasing teams to increase the pace too.
Sprint 2:
1. Bilbao (Euskaltel) - 6 points
2. Peron (Novo Nordisk) - 4 points
3. Marycz (CCC) - 2 points
25 km to go
The last KoM sprint is won by Bilbao, bringing his total to 11 points. The peloton is chasing hard with MTN-Qhubeka on the front. They are still looking for a stage win. The gap is down to 1'40.
KoM 3:
1. Bilbao (Euskaltel) - 5 points
2. Marycz (CCC) - 3 points
3. Delage (Cofidis) - 1 point
Anyone still cares about the intermediate sprint? Probably not, but here are the results anyway.
Sprint 3:
1. Di Corrado (Bardiani) - 6 points
2. Hansen (Lotto) - 4 points
3. Delage (Cofidis) - 2 points
20 km to go
Under the incredible pace of Flecha, the gap is now 1 minute to the front group. Once again disaster strikes for MTN-Qhubeka, they can't catch a break this week. Augustyn and Abundi have dropped from the peloton. There is little wind so it looks like they are just not strong enough to follow the pace at the front. Bernard and Schneider are other notable names in this group. They are a minute behind the peloton.
16 km to go
Crash! And it is more drama here in Gabon as 6th in GC Martinez Machado crashes. He will have to get in to Group Augustyn and hope he does not lose too much time now. Group Augustyn is 1 and a half minute behind the peloton. Movistar is causing serious pain again, as only 50 riders remain in the peloton. The front group is 50 seconds ahead.
10 km to go
We are on the last lap now and the breakaway has found a new energy source. The gap has increased to a minute. Movistar does a lot of work, but the break is too strong at the moment.
5 km to go
The break is still 1 minute ahead, so it looks like it will be another victory for the breakaway. Sky is now chasing for Weschenbach, but they are facing the same problems as Movistar and are not getting any closer.
Finish
Would you just look at that, the breakaway wins again. And it is Bilbao Baggins who is the strongest in the sprint today. What a fitting end of this year's Tropicale. Delage is 2nd and Gerard finishes in 3rd. A few sprinters come back strong, but it is too late for the victory. Verboven stops caring about the sprint and starts celebrating the victory of his team-mate, blocking Roelandts in his attempt to get a top 10 finish.
Martinez Machado sprints to not lose too much time, but the officials don't care and place him in the same time as Group Augustyn. MTN-Qhubeka is devastated as they cross the line, knowing that Augustyn is losing his 10th place in the GC.

Love Hägg! First GC win for NetApp! MVH 4 president!
Also, I really have a strange relationship to breakaways. Whilst the breakaway gave me a GC + stage win, the win-ratio of breakaways is far, far too high. I'm pretty pissed off to see Calzone not taking a stage win here. Hmpf.
Good seeing Movistar cause some serious pain again. Maybe as a reward Rojas managed to get into Top 10.

D'oh horrible start.
Astana failing the goal.Then Gasparotto not going in a breakaway despite being 7-8 minutes behind
And Bernard way behind the top 10.F*ck Movistar in all.Why are you chasing?
Both Gasparotto(2nd stage)and Bernard(6th and 7th stage)cracked in flat stages

Gracias Alberto.

La Tropicale Amissa Bongo final results
The GC was decided on the first stage. With Hägg being part of a small breakaway that got 4 minutes on the peloton, he had a big enough lead to keep the yellow jersey until the end. Fernandez is the biggest surprise here. Also part of the breakaway on stage 1, he never lost much time over the stronger GC riders. Henao was the favourite going into this race and he proved it by finishing first of the rest. Without the successful breakaway on stage 1 he would have won here. Cervero, who finished 8th last year, did a better job this year and finishes just outside the podium on the 4th place. On the last stage Martinez Machado dropped to the 10th place. Over the week Augustyn dropped from 2nd to 15th.
