A few decent stages for the team in 4, 5 and 6. And Velits 4th, Costa 6th and Macado 8th in the GC. Not bad for a goal race but could have been slightly better.

Ulissi rode a decent Romandie there, 7th overall is pretty good especially considering the TT involved.
The little summarising sentence or two really helps to understand briefly what happened in the stage - would it be possible to implement this for all reports?

Been a while since Prorace have been in action, that will change with the Giro being up next.
No need for race descriptions, it will hold things up (especially for continental races.....), and it is more entertaining to use your imagination.  |

TVG just on dominating form in Romandie. Only once outside the Top10 and only twice off the Podium! 2 stage wins, GC, Points and KoM for him alone  Then Capecchi and Roy were solid in support with some good stage placings and GC for those guys. Almost a perfect race for the team will give nice rankings boosts.

Keeping right in line with the stellar season so far, the Giro kicked off in great fashion. This was no more a pistol but a shotgun.

Damn, I didn't expect Contador at the Giro. What's he doing here?

He avoids the randomness of cobbles in Le Tour

Great sprint from Vangenechten on stage 3, he definitely has the stuff to be a real contender in hilly sprints and could feasibly win a Milan San Remo in this ICL, he will be one of the two fastest sprinters going to the Vuelta!
If Contador took the GC lead on stage 1 we could have been looking at him holding the pink jersey for the whole Giro! -- Speaking of the Giro, 1 stage win would make it a good one for Prorace. |

PCM AI... why u no recognise Guardini is a better sprinter than Colbrelli? 
That aside, it's been a solid three days in Greece for the Fiat boys with a top 10 of some description in each stage. Hope they will be fired up when they return to terra Italia!

It seems like Kristoff was a waste of money. That 8th place continues the line of failure in the classics. So I have to rely on Kwiat for a result. Maybe even my other climbers can get some breakaway win or so.
In terms of team standings I'm really disappointed. That looks like relegation in the moment, hopefully Froome will give us a big boost.

He wants to prevent Chris Horner from yet another GT win, so - he's the good guy here!
Nah, in all seriousness: He's following the Giro-Tour double with a surprise win at L-B-L. Race days are too spare to waste them on some weeklong stage race, where the AI can mess everything up I reckon. Except for Purito and Nibali, all GT contenders ride two Grand Tours according to the excel file "StarlistApp". When you sum up the possibility of stage wins, points allocation and stuff like that, it should be pretty good bang for the buck for most GT riders but I guess we'll know more once season 1 ends.
@Silvio: I don't think you have to fear relegation with Froome riding Tour-Vuelta, there should be many, many WT points incoming once Froome.exe gets released to public.

That was more of a joke by the way. But still I expected to be placed better even without Froome.

Well, now I'd probably laugh if Froome crashed out of both Tour and Vuelta.

damn I just realised that Luis León Sánchez has been riding way below expectations. only 30 points so far 
expected to be around Kiserlovski (495p) and Majka (604p) but he's way behind. seems my team is more two-dimensional then I thought |
