All of Andorra is up now, decent stage race. Wouldn't mind seeing that on the WT, maybe to replace Mount Fuji in addition to clashing with the TDF?
Telecom Namibia: Bikex, you might have sent some weaker squads with that one, especially considering some 'active-ish' CT managers screwed up planning big time. |

Oh dear, Deutschland Rundfahrt is a total failure so far, wish I didn't overlook so badly the smaller races that are carrying out some quite "surprising" winners  I'm sure Moser & co. would've brought some action in there...

Summing up a bit:
Deutschland Rundfahrt was really f*cked up until now. I have no idea why we were so bad in the TTT. And nothing worked out for us in the sprints (bar a 4th by Boivin, who is the pre-leadout ) And because big groups come to finish together, König is totally wasted...
Kwiatkowski winning the TT in Guatemala and taking the overall lead -> 
And he's still holding on! 
Froome is doing what he should in Mount Fuji. Basic yellow jersey. #ItIsWeirdNotToCelebrateWinsAnymoreBecauseYouExpectThem
-> All in all we're leading two out of three races of the triple header

Deutschland is going great! TVG doing what TVG does and Wilco isn't far behind. Great stuff, big scoring race by the looks of it for the team.
Guatemala less good, but then it wasn't a great team. About expectation so far, hoping for a stage win.
Fuji is below par. Hopefully my french Duo can sort themselves out and climb up otherwise i'll start panicing about the Tour

#568: Hope this explains it: 3 of your 7 riders have less than 62 in TT.
Deutschland: it is all about stage 7 there, fingers crossed De Gendt surprises after some good sprinting.
Guatemala: expected some wins from the WC, but content for the moment after starting with a run of podiums.
We will take anything we can get from Japan. Nice update Bikex, hoping the thrill comes back soon!  |

Deutschland: I can not understand my team's tactic in those sprints. It seems as if the AI threats Ciolek as my main sprinter and the leadout could look something like this: Kittel <- Selig <- Ciolek. Should that be true then : wonderful
That break on stage 6 
Guatemala: I did not notice Zollinger getting so many points for the KoM classification. I really like that from a rider who is leaving me after the season again!
Mount Fuji: Great opening TT there from my guys. Westra finishing second behind Froome and Martins "easily" in the top ten is awesome! No need to excuse for the missing screenshot
Will it be possible to post the points that each team has collected in the triple header once it finishes?

Luckily, sprinter teams don't have to fear this since there is always the chance that the fuck up the chase completely as seen way too often with PCM :/

I just want these three races to finish really. Dowsett getting a good finish from a breakaway is about as good as I could hope for. Swift continues to be such a huge disappointment.

2 more stages of each of the races posted, now only one more left.
On something else: I had the idea to make an excel file with all the results that happened so far in ICL. With this tool you could check out the best results of each rider and as well quicker the results of previous editions of a race or whatever. I think that could be quite useful in the transfer season or in general maybe for updates in the teams thread. My question now is if you would be interested in something like that and actually use it or if it would be a waste of time for me to do it.
Of course if I do that that won't be in the way for the pace of the game. I will only start once the pace is upped again.
@everyone Also I get the feeling that people get less and less interested in this game. Sure the slow pace, which is my fault, could be a reason for this. If you are still following the game, could you please quick make a post here, so I get an overview on how many are still on board. Thanks. |

Still here
Deutschland still going great, TVG outclimbing Contador at one point  Kelderman looking nice as well there. Guatemala doing fine in breakaways, consistent and some nice Top10's. Fuji is horrid, Bardet and Rolland just woeful....

I'm obviously still following, love this game, and not only because of the pace, I feel like the organisation of this is close to perfect. Also that's not a slow pace, it's just slower than usual, but that doesn't mean it's slow
I turn sad each time I look at what's going on in Germany lololol

@matt: Thanks.
@Croatia: Your team is actually taking part at the Deutschland Tour which is going on atm. Chernetskiy was quite active and sits in third in the provisional KoM classification with one stage to go. |

The triple header is going decently for me. A shame that Boom had to lose his great GC position but with his climbing skills that was just a question of time.
Westra - quite similar - is still performing strongly but he is dropping slowly,too.
I enjoy seeing my domestiques like postlberger or Zöllner high in secondary classifications and Hall er getting some good stage results. That's what I'm hoping to see when they ride without their leaders which is admittedly rare.
Kittel in Deutschland though is a mass disappointment! Why is he just a weak leadout ? 
I still love the game! Even if the pace is low in comparison to ICLstandards it is still much higher than everything else. Imagine a race like San Luis finished in two or three days. In other games unthinkable!
But as matt said it is not just the pace but the organisation which is impressive.
About the tool : I was thinking about creating a record list myself after this/next season: Who has the most Tour de France stage wins? Who won the most monuments? Those kind of things.
