Nice job moving Henao up in the GC and good try with KOM.
Still suspicious of BMC winning  |

No. That's Bjarne Riis.
Andy Rihs is the head of BMC, former head of Phonak. |

Ok after a really busy week, added to that my doubts about PCM 10's AI I have decided to continue. I now realize that the AI is fine after trying out a few stages in my spare time. Tommorow I've got parties, and Friday is Friday so next update will be on the weekend unless I find time to report the stage sooner. Hopefully you haven't missed this quality story too much.

Hey I was going to report (or atleast try) three stages on the weekend, but now I'm only gonna report 2. Heck, if you keep this up, I may not post any.

Lincoln GP
This stage looks scary. With cobbles and steep hills on a crit of sorts, it will be a very tough day.
Our Squad:
Diaz got in the first succesful break of the day, although it wasn't hard getting in to. It was like stealing candy from a baby. He lasted about 4 laps by himslef before an unintentional break of mostly Skil, Endura, UnitedHealth, and Fly V riders, caught up to him.
This group maintained a lead of roughly 3 minutes for the better part of the day. The worst part was on the cobbles, which eventually ripped up the peloton and gave them no chance to chase. The lead group which was now certain to win, had 1 of our riders; Boivin, while Diaz was also briefly in this group.
Nearing the end of the stage Sutherland and Rabou decided they couldn't outsprint the lone Motorpoint rider (McEvoy) so had to find other means of the stage win.
While this move didn't work how they wanted, in the process of their move, a few riders were dropped from the group, and a stage win was more possible. As they entered the city for the last time, the riders are try to find the perfect position before tackling the steep cobbles to the finish line.
And the sprint begins. McEvoy, and Sutherland are at the front.
And Sutherland takes the win. SpiderTech also did fairly well with David Boily.
Results:
| Rank | Name | Team | Time | | 1 | Rory Sutherland | UnitedHealthcare presented by Maxxis | 5h10'31 | | 2 | Jonathon McEvoy | Motorpoint - Marshall's Pasta | s.t. | | 3 | Thomas Rabou | Team Type 1 | s.t. | | 4 | Phil Zajicek | Fly V Australia | s.t. | | 5 | Ian Wilkinson | Endura Racing | + 1'47 | | 6 | Marc De Maar | UnitedHealthcare presented by Maxxis | s.t. | | 7 | Roy Curvers | Skil - Shimano | s.t. | | 8 | Koen De Kort | Skil - Shimano | s.t. | | 9 | Floris Goesinnen | Skil - Shimano | s.t. | | 10 | David Boily | Spidertech powered by Planet Energy | + 2'17 | | 11 | Karl Menzies | UnitedHealthcare presented by Maxxis | + 2'27 | | 12 | Job Vissers | Skil - Shimano | s.t. | | 13 | Christopher Baldwin | UnitedHealthcare presented by Maxxis | + 4'52 | | 14 | Javier MegÃas | Team Type 1 | s.t. | | 15 | Roman Kilun | UnitedHealthcare presented by Maxxis | s.t. | | 16 | Guillaume Boivin | Spidertech powered by Planet Energy | + 5'07 | | 17 | James Moss | Endura Racing | + 5'40 | | 18 | Frederik Wilmann | Skil - Shimano | s.t. | | 19 | Robert Partridge | Endura Racing | s.t. | | 20 | Bruno Langlois | Spidertech powered by Planet Energy | s.t. | | 21 | David Lines | Endura Racing | s.t. | | 22 | Robert Hayles | Endura Racing | s.t. | | 23 | Robin Chaigneau | Skil - Shimano | s.t. | | 24 | Tim Johnson | UnitedHealthcare presented by Maxxis | s.t. | | 25 | Simon Lambert-Lemay | Spidertech powered by Planet Energy | s.t. | | 26 | Cameron Evans | Spidertech powered by Planet Energy | + 6'15 | | 27 | Matthew Stephens | Sigma Sport - Specialized | + 7'55 | | 28 | Dan Craven | Rapha Condor - Sharp | + 8'06 | | 29 | Simon Richardson | Sigma Sport - Specialized | s.t. | | 30 | François Parisien | Spidertech powered by Planet Energy | s.t. | | 31 | Tomasz Lisowicz | CCC Polsat Polkowice | s.t. | | 32 | Frank Pipp | Bissell | s.t. | | 33 | Alex Dowsett | Trek Livestrong U23 | s.t. | | 34 | Niklas Gustavsson | Team Sprocket | s.t. | | 35 | Ian Bibby | Motorpoint - Marshall's Pasta | s.t. |

Hey its not my fault. The check disk error poped up every time I tried playing the stage and it only worked the 4th time. I lost a lot of motivation because of that. I'm trying to fix it right now, but I've tried all the fixes that are mentioned in the thread.

Well, for one, your pictures are great, absolutely love the way you take them. I like your writing style and I like your team choice. On the bad side... well I can't see any

Cycle Sport Management are please to announce that
Team SpiderTech will be competing at the Philadelphia International Championships on June 6th, where they will bring a strong line-up to compete with North America's best. They also confirmed that they were disapointed in not getting accepted to the Amgen Tour of California. Their goal is to prove to the AToC's organizers that it was a mistake not letting SpiderTech in.
