I hardly think 20 points can already satisfy the wage you paid for him 
However it he continues in that manner, he could turn out to be a very decent purchase indeed.

Nice to see Marco Haller pop up with a nice result! Not sure he'll be good for many more of those over the course of the season, but its nice to see he isn't *completely* useless

Just to see him win was enough for me |

So close to an upset. Awang did what he does best on stage 2 before gettings top 10 on stage 3 so can't complain about his performance.

Looks like Meyer has the bit between his teeth here. Nice to see the sprinters get back the breakaway.
I thought that was a really chaotic sprint - plenty of screenies so thanks for that cio. I think a very good attempt to describe it
As a reporting note I was advised last year to turn shadows off, which I think makes things a little less dark.

The pack seems to start their chase late, very late. Which is fun actually as breaks will have more chances when the teams of the favourites are weak.
And Polivoda... Please find a train to hang on to...

Meyer as the most consistent sprinter looks like he will have the best shot at the GC win, which is just logical given his stats-combo.. Drapac though truly disappointing so far, but those hills were always going to hurt his legs. There will be better races for him.

What the hell. That's a major disappointment. I have the strongest sprint train, the probably best lead-out, but still 5th! This has to improve, it's simply not good enough like this

Well this is turning into a disaster of a season really quickly. Sprinters not sprinting isn't a very good strategy. Thankfully Vellieux made something out of it for us, but changes need to be made fast to the way we finish.

I was reading your post a minute before getting this stage up and I cringed...
Especially as it was just for 7th place.

Nice to see Alexander Edmondson being active here. A pity that he couldn`t podium today but a 5th is very nice as well. |

This is weird. You sure you didn't have Passive Multiplayer AI checked on? I am not sure it has effect, but I clearly remember last year it actually did in single player where peleton wouldn't chase breaks.
Anyhow, will be interesting whether Meyer can win tomorrow and take GC or Stannard keep it.
