Thanks for taking over that quick Smowz.
Quite impressed by my team. Sending the logical riders back after the crash. Then perfect leadout and finally Vantomme with a good decision in the sprint. In general a great first ever win for him in my team.
Doubt I will promote this year. Hollister, Bouygues, Vueling, Volkswagen and I think also Bintang, Vespa and 1-2 others will be ahead of me.
Not sure what I prefer. PT would make it easier to improve my level 3/4 ridets. On the other hand I wouldnt mind being another year PCT at first to learn race planning a bit more. |

Kip is doing well, I hope he'll stay in contention after the TT and maybe snatch a decent GC place. Winden is our wildcard for this.

Guillen is where he should be now I guess, but this will be a huge succes anyway. 
The best part of this race is that my team always seems to have the best lead-out, too bad Guillen don't got the secondary's to finish it off like Cav (in real life at htc).

Third stage that a different of our riders has gone for the win. Awesome AI logic going on there...
Vantomme seems to have shook off his curse, thankfully for Roturn.
And thanks to Smowz, for carrying this on

Just noticed Guillén brought you fantastic win earlier in the race. Congratulations!!!

Nice seeing Bennett trying to get in the mix, thought he might sneak a Top 10 there, but not quite! Tennant and Stannard look like they can secure a Top 5 and Top 10 respectively in GC after the TT, maybe even a podium for Tennant? Hope so!

I'm actually quite pleased that Vantomme is dominating the sprints. As long as he is taking the time bonuses it prevents them from going to other well placed sprinters and thus sets Cornu up for a solid GC result.

Vantomme on fire. Finally. Obviously good decision to keep him.
Still doubt that I will stay in the top 10 in the end. But good stage results and hopefully the point jersey will give me nice points. |

I am interested to see how he holds up, he could quite easily be in the mix for the sprint at the end of stage 7. He lost 30 seconds in 5km to Cornu, so I guess he would lose the 50 seconds he has in 12km but the yellow jersey does seem to inspire riders to better times. I still (and I haven't played the stage yet) wouldn't be surprised to see him hold a high GC place, even win the thing.

I hope you are right of course. Top 10 would be a success already.
So far you did well and delivered me some good results. Just go on.  |

Thank you, I really just picked this goal with him in my mind, luckily I also got him from you.

Hushovd fell through the field in the end but Kreder did the other way around and ended real fast.
That little extra is still missing. |

finally my team does something right, Van Loocke made ​​a good result without any doubt and was close to the podium. I hope to get some points in this race, we can not just dependent on what does Mehr-Wenige.

I was mentally cursing when I saw Van Loocke doing that well. How is it that he starts to p erform just after I get rid of him, while the much more expensive (and talented) Drujon just fades to nothing at the end?

Nothing that some steaks like Contador do not resolve

Okay Van Winden is third in GC, but his extremely low cobble stat will probably make it impossible to defend that spot. I hope for the best, but this race will probably end on a slightly dissapointed note.
Cornu is for me the clear favourite now, great win for him and Bpost!

Well we performed reasonably in the TT, nice to see Bartons taken over the White Jersey
