T-Mobile will be the 17th team.
CSC are already there.
Rabobank - No, theyll be in other tours.
Caisse D'epargne - No. With no scandinavian guys the spanish squad has little hope of selection. |

4 out of 8 stages made.
Downhill TTT - Greenland
Short hill circuit - Iceland
Down and up course - Faroes
Hilly start, flat finish - Svalbard
Unlike in britain - this will not be a sprinters paradise, now time to make the killer norwegain mountain stage

whichever team you're managing will be absolutely murdered
haven't you ever noticed that in a TT your riders can't go as fast as the AI downhill even if they're at 99%?

Stage 1
Let the Downhill TTT commence!
Tinkoff are first up and Mazzanti leads them down the steep starting slopes.
Carlsberg were one of many teams tipped to do well today and took 2nd at the finish, just 2 seconds behind T-Mobile.
But a certain young brit was determined to lead his teammates to victory - and Alex Dowsett took the victory, claiming the yellow jersey.
Would there be a final twist? Nearly. I realised my '1 Neutral' team were going too quick and slowed them dramatically in the last km - they still managed 3rd, 1 second behind Rapha! That was nearly a big oops! Kinda proved issoisso wrong though.
1 Alex Dowsett RAPHA CONDOR - SPIUK 19'50
2 Steven Cummings RAPHA CONDOR - SPIUK s.t.
3 Pieter Weening RAPHA CONDOR - SPIUK s.t.
4 Michael Rogers RAPHA CONDOR - SPIUK s.t.
5 Charly Wegelius RAPHA CONDOR - SPIUK s.t.
6 Marc John RAPHA CONDOR - SPIUK s.t.
7 David Millar RAPHA CONDOR - SPIUK s.t.
8 Bernhard Eisel RAPHA CONDOR - SPIUK s.t.
9 Bjørn Johnsen RAPHA CONDOR - SPIUK s.t.
10 Bernhard Kohl T-MOBILE TEAM + 1
