LOL, you're right. 
Yep, thought it was pretty funny as well
! And about Ciolek, don't forget that he was in form, winning 2 mass sprints in the last week of the Vuelta and has a pretty decent Hill-stat of 75.

No report about the Circuit Franco Belge. Why? Because everyday, all 4 stages, the BOTD won the stage with a gap of more than 10 minutes to the peloton. No team wanted to chase, so I decided that our team should be lazy as well.
In the 1st stage, Paul Martens won the sprint, and because the gap to the peloton was bigger than in the 2nd to 4th stage, Martens took the GC-win. The other stages were won by Samuel Dumoulin (his 13th win of the season, he has the most wins of the season so far!), Maarten Wynants and Aurélien Passeron. Both Peter Sagan and Jens Mulder won 1 peloton sprint.

September review
Summary
What a strange month it was. First, the fantastic Vuelta with 6 stage wins and Gesink dominating all rankings, and of course a great Dekke rin the Canadian classics and Breschel winning in Wallonie, but also the announcement of my retiring after this season.

No change here: Team Type 1 is leading FDJ and M&M's.
CQ riders
The same ranking as the WT: Contador in 1st, Gesink in 2nd and Kelderman in 3rd.
CQ teams
ANd also this ranking is the same as the WT: Petrona s Monster Energy in 1st, Movistar in 2nd and Radi Shack in 3rd.

* Alexander Kristoff (Joker), Ariel Maximilian Richeze (Bank BGZ), Robert Wagner (Team NetAPP).
Our Goal
The win!
The Race
A 13-rider BOTD takes a margin of a few minutes, but they get caught with about 10km to go. We form our train in these last 10km, and especially Maxim Lefevre and Matti Breschel do a fantastic job in deliviring Marcel Kittel in a great position to launch his sprint. The former German champion has absolutely no problems with his opponents and wins the Sparkassen Giro Münsterland. Enrico Rossi finishes in 2nd with lead out man Breschel taking the 3rd place.
The Results

Our Goal
Top 3
The Race
A 14-rider BOTD gets a lot of minutes, a lot... The Italian teams can't close the gap, so we start to chase them with 2 laps, = 25km, to go. But the margin is 5 minutes. With 1 lap to go, it's 2 and a half minutes, but that's too much with just 12km to .
So the BOTD can sprint for the win and it's Katusha's Giampaolo Caruso who takes the win. Crescenzo D'Amore (Farnese Vini) take sthe 2nd place, with Raffaele De Rosa (Team Type 1) in 3rd. Peter Sagan overtakes some former BOTD-riders in the uphill sprint and finishes in 11th place.
The Results
| 1 | Giampaolo Caruso | Katusha Team | 5h01'37 | | 2 | Crescenzo D'Amore | Farnese Vini - Neri Sottoli | + 7 | | 3 | Raffaele la Rosa | Team Type 1 | s.t. | | 4 | Emilio Zini | Amore & Vita | + 17 | | 5 | Patrick Facchini | Alitalia | s.t. | | 6 |  Nikita Novikov | Itera - Katusha | s.t. | | 7 |  Pawel Cieslik | PSK Whirlpool - Author | s.t. | | 8 |  David Jai Crawford | Qantas Airways | s.t. | | 9 | Mirco Saggiorato | Atlas Personal | s.t. | | 10 | Emanuele Sella | Colnago - CSF Inox | s.t. | | 11 |  Peter Sagan | Petronas - Monster Energy | s.t. |

Yeey, the story lives a little longer
Great to see the DS keeping at 100% until retirement. Hope the team can win the final race for him. Petronas surely kicked some ass this year, looking at the team rankings! |

| 1 | Tejay Van Garderen | Garmin - Barracuda | 12'29 | | 2 | Tyler Farrar | Garmin - Barracuda | + 3 | | 3 | Marcel Kittel | Petronas - Monster Energy | + 5 | | 4 | Robert Partridge | Sky ProCycling | + 7 | | 5 | Frantisek Rabon | Omega Pharma - Quick·Step | + 8 | | 6 | Michael Rogers | Sky ProCycling | + 11 | | 7 |  Rick Flens | Rabobank Cycling Team | + 15 | | 8 | Vladimir Karpets | Saxo Bank SunGard | + 18 | | 9 |  Rui Costa | Movistar Team | s.t. | | 10 |  Stefan Denifl | Red Bull - Cervélo | + 19 |
Today's Winner

Stage 2
The short and steep hill 11km before the finish soaked a little bit too much energy out of Marcel Kittel, as he had to come back from behind, and had no energy left to compete for the win.
The battle for the win was between 2 other German sprinters. André Greipel was on his way to his 1st season win, but got passed by the newly crowned World champ Gerald Ciolek in the last 100 metres. JJ Rojas took the 3rd place, and Kittel the 8th.
The Results
| 1 | Gerald Ciolek | Red Bull - Cervélo | 2h59'18 | | 2 | André Greipel | Qantas Airways | s.t. | | 3 |  José Joaquín Rojas | Movistar Team | s.t. | | 4 | Francesco Gavazzi | Rabobank Cycling Team | s.t. | | 5 |  Romain Feillu | Omega Pharma - Quick·Step | s.t. | | 6 | John Degenkolb | Sony Ericsson | s.t. | | 7 | Francisco José Ventoso | Euskaltel - Euskadi | s.t. | | 8 | Marcel Kittel | Petronas - Monster Energy | s.t. | | 9 | Tyler Farrar | Garmin - Barracuda | s.t. | | 10 | Mark Cavendish | Sky ProCycling | s.t. |

Kittel seems in good shape this late in the season.
But good for Ciolek to show his jersey  |
