@tsmoha
Thanks Of course he will join the final sprint, but even if he wins the next stage, he would lose his advantage at the time trial... His main target will be to defend his points jersey...
@Tuco the Ugly
It was the same stage where he attacked and finished second behind Levi, wasnt it? Really poor guy...
@lluuiiggii
Thanks The virtual finish line was before the drawn one... Popovych was ahead of Andy
18. June
Probably the biggest development of the season:
+1 Flat
+3 Mountain
+2 Hill
+4 Acceleration
+1 Downhill
+3 Stamina
+3 Resistance
+1 Recovery
(As usual, the stat improvements are compared to the stats at the start of the season)
Tour de Suisse Stage 7: Savognin - Wetzikon, 195,2 km Most experts expect a mass sprint finish here, but with several hills before the finish, it is quite unsure if the sprinter will reach the finish with the peloton. At least another good stage for Popovych
Team goals:
- Top 5 / Gain more points on Evans (Popovych)
- No time loss (Leipheimer, Armstrong, Klöden)
Favourites:
Danilo Napolitano (SP 78, ACC 79, HIL 67)
Mauro Finetto (SP 75, ACC 78, HIL 75)
André Greipel (SP 81, ACC 80, HIL 63)
Allan Davis (SP 79,ACC 82, HIL 71)
Borut Bozic (SP 78, ACC 78, HIL 68)
My tip:
Mauro Finetto already won one similar stage and as todays profile is probably to hard for pur sprinters, hes my topfavourite for the stage win.
Great Tour de Suisse for you, Popovych riding a rdie of his life. Same happend in my game but it was Szmyd with same stats as Kiserlovski now. Popovych for vistory in this stage Edited by Alakagom on 19-01-2011 17:39
@roturn
Thanks Thats a thing I love at this game: This strange developments, I never can imagine Kiserlovski that good irl...
@Alakagon
Agree. Popovych was always considered as a great talent, but finally never won any stage race I am happy for him that he shows what he is really able to do
Depart. Rainy conditions today.
Todays breakaway consists of Andreas Klier (Cervélo), Mickael Buffaz (Cofidis), Frederik Willems (Liquigas), Stijn Devolder (QuickStep), Pedro Merino (Footon), Imanol Erviti (Caisse), Thomas Faiers (Footon), Yannick Talabardon (Saur) and Martin Elmiger (AG2R). Pablo Urtasun (Euskaltel), Manuele Mori (Lampre) and Steven Cozza (Garmin) attacked later and were able to reach the front group. Group Erviti;
+43" Urtasun, Mori, Cozza;
+3'41" Peloton.

11,3km to go, all escapees except Mori and Elmiger are back in the peloton. Lance had a good day and attacked shortly before the top! Mori, Elmiger;

Unfortunately, his brave attack was not very successfull. With 6,5 km to the finish, Armstrong, Mori and Elmiger were caught.
2700m to the line.
We tried another tactic today: Andreas Klöden as lead-out for Popovych. Zaugg joined our train, while Mauro Finetto hangs on Pietropollis backwheel...
1100m left.
Daniele Pietropolli now in front, Mauro Finetto still in his slipstream. Popovych in third position, but still with a full red bar and a high pace. We only can hope that Pietropolli and Finetto lost to much power to get in front while Popovych only stayed at Klödens backwheel...
CRASH!
Carlos Sastre falled, David de la Fuente and Imanol Erviti had no chance to pass him and falled wth him.
Back to the front:
The first stage victory for Yaroslav Popovych! It seems that our tactic worked: Pietropolli and Finetto were already exhausted, while Popovych still had enough power left to accelerate and passed them again!
Klöden finished 7th, Armstrong 9th, Leipheimer 26th, with the same time as Popovych.
Luck for the crash-victims: The organisators felt pity for them and gave them the same time as the stage winner.
STAGE VICTORY!

Thank you guys Probably my favourite victory in this career, Yaroslav in the form of his live... Maybe the next one in this stage?
19. June Tour de Suisse Stage 8: Wetzikon - Liestal, 176,1 km The last stage before the deciding time trial is another hilly one. With favourites waiting for the time trial, it is a good stage for a breakaway victory... If they did not manage it to the finish, we can looking forward to another sprint with good chances for another good result for Popovych.
Team goals:
- Top 5 (Popovych)
- No time loss (Armstrong, Leipheimer, Klöden)
Favourites:
Cadel Evans (HIL 81, RES 79, STA 76)
Denis Menchov (HIL 77, RES 77, STA 75)
Philippe Gilbert (HL 83, RES 76, STA 81)
Andy Schleck (HIL 81, RES 78, STA 76)
Alberto Contador (HIL 79, RES 79, STA 75)
My tip:
Breakaway victory.

Great Tour de Suisse by Popovych so far! Congrats on this last stage win...and good luck for the next one..looking forward to July and the Tour de France
Siglistorfer Höhe.
The peloton set a high pace a long time, only 2 rider were able to escape: Laszlo Bodrogi (Katusha) and Bjorn Leukemans (Vacansoleil). Leukemans, Bodrogi;
+4'18" Peloton.

Thomas Voeckler wants a second stage win! He breaked away with 97km to go. Leukemans, Bodrogi;
+3'12" Voeckler
+4'00" Peloton.
Wittnauer Höhe.
Voeckler reached Leukemans, while Bodrogi falled back at one of the hills. Voeckler, Leukemans;

18km to the finish, and Denis Menchov and Roman Kreuziger attacked at a flat section. Leukemans, Voeckler;
+2'43" Menchov, Kreuziger;
+2'55" Peloton.
Windenthaler Höhe.
Bjorn Leukemans can not hold contact with Voeckler... "Petit Blanc" fpr a second stage win? Voeckler;
+8" Leukemans;
+2'09" Peloton.
3000m to go.
Voeckler and Leukemans still with 16 seconds in front. Efimkin and Armstrong lead the peloton after they tried an attack at the last hill. In the peloton, we wanted to try the same tactic as yesterday, Klöden as lead-out man for Yaroslav Popovych.
700m to the line. Leukemans seems to be exhausted and lost much ground, but Voeckler still with a quite huge gap...
And thats the second stage victory for Thomas Voeckler!
Surprisingly Alberto Contador was the strongest in the pack, he finished second ahead of Monfort and Popovych. Too bad that Yaroslav do not get any time bonification, but at least he saved the points jersey today Leipheimer finished 8th, Klöden 11th, Armstrong 16th.

Thats the situation before the last stage tomorrow, a time trial about 26 kilometers. Not to long, but long enough to make some changes. Yaroslav have to make the time trial of his live, but at this crazy Tour de Suisse, everything is possible... Armstrong and Leipheimer will need luck, but with a good daily form, I am quite sure that they might be able to go up some places.

2.) Christophe Brandt (Omega Pharma) s.t.
3.) Jussi Veikkanen (FDJ) +25" If Boasson hagen even wins a hilly stage, his shape has to be amazing. Another rider we have to look at in France.

3.) Dimitri Champion (AG2R) +6"
Matthew Busche wants to sign a new contract... I am not sure if he still suits in our squad, he is only an average rider and almost no potential left. Except some good results at the Tour of the Gila, he did not show anything 2010. What do you think, signing him again?
Thank you Lets see if hes able to make his 9th Top10 in Switzerland today:
Tour de Suisse Stage 9: The deciding time trial... The puncheurs have a little advantage here.
Team goals:
- Defend at least the podium overall (Popovych)
- Try to improve your overall position (Armstrong, Leipheimer)
- Go up to Top 10 Overall (Klöden)
Favourites:
Tony Martin (TT 82, RES 73, HIL 73)
Alberto Contador (TT 81, RES 79, HIL 79)
Cadel Evans (TT 79, RES 79, HIL 81)
Roman Kreuziger (TT 78, RES 77, HIL 78)
Denis Menchov (TT 80, RES 77, HIL 77)
My tip:
A hilly time trial suits perfectly to Cadel Evans...
Thank you for your advices. I refused the negotiations, he told me that he acquiesced and understood my decision.
We will try to sign a similar rider like Busche, but maybe a bit younger and with more potential, maybe Markus Eibegger, Eros Capecchi or Maxime Bouet... And if we fail to sign any other rider, we still have Ben Hermans, who is a similar rider to him.
Jos Van Emden with the first mentionable time: 37'34"
Jack Bobridge beats him by 9 seconds: 37'25"
Philippe Gilbert showed never known time trial abilities, the new besttime for him: 36'48"
Erik Gustav Larsson, normally one of the best time trialers world wide, was not able to beat Gilbert. 37'05"
David Millar had a good ride and beats Gilberts time by 18 seconds, the new besttime for the scotchman: 36'30"
Maxime Monfort confirmed his good shape from the past days again, he was only 5 seconds slower than Millar: 36'35"
Andreas Klöden was only our fourth best rider overall, but he was motivated to get back to the Top 10 overall and set an amazing besttime: 36'00"
Fränk Schleck seemed to profit from the hilly profile, a quite good time for a non-time trialer like him: 37'10"
Same here. Ivan Basso: 37'25"
The only weakness of Andy Schleck: The fight against the clock. But he did quite well today, he was only 4 seconds slower than Gilbert (and beat time trial specialists like Larsson or Peraud): 36'42"
Lance Armstrong did his best, finishing only 12 seconds behind Klöden. So a 1-2 for TheShack at the moment... 36'12"
Roman Kreuziger was one of the favourites today, but he was not able to beat Klöden or Armstrong: Only a 36'18" for the czech.
I already imagined Klödi as todays stage winner... But he was defeated by an other german rider who had an amazng day, Tony Martin! 35'42" and the new besttime!
After seeing that Martin beated Klöden, we hoped for Levi Leipheimer. Well, Levi was not that bad, but weaker than Klöden: 36'11"
Denis Menchov was good, but at least only 2 seconds faster than Leipheimer: 36'09"
Cadel Evans with another impressive performance today (Too bad that BMC did not get a wildcard for the Tour de France). He was not able to beat Martin, but at least he was 7 seconds faster than Klöden: 35'53"
Yaroslav Popovych... After eight awesome days, it seems that he have one bad today 59 seconds slower than Martin... Thats the end of our dreams for a podium. 36'41"
Knowing that no RadioShack rider can win anymore, I crossed my finger for Tony Martin. Please a stage win for the talented young german...
Alberto Contador ignored my wishes and was 3 seconds faster than Martin. The second stage win and the overall victory for El Pistolero.

ALBERTO CONTADOR IS BACK, PART 2: El Pistolero showed why he is the top favourite for Le Tour... In this shape, he is probably unbeatable. A good day for RaidoShack, too. Of course we lost our podium spot after the weak performance from Popovych, but Klöden was able to get back in the Top 10 overall and Armstrong conquered the sixth overall

A deserved victory for Contador. Because of the lack of mountain stages, we see Tony Martin on the podium, a nice result for him. Denis Menchov and Andy Schleck also showed that they are peaking for LeTour, but they have still to improve if they really want to win the Maillot Jaune in France. Some rider was disappointing, I expected far more from Fränk Schleck and Jrgen Van den Broeck...
We failed to get one of our rider at the podium, but I think we can be satisfied with four rider in the Top10.

Oh my god. Popovych missed the top 10
This can`t be true...
Maxime Bouet would be my favourite. Not sure how good he is in the PCM Daily but I like his stats in the ASO. Good for breakaway stage wins and some minor races.
Great report from the time-trial, and great Tour de Suisse for you, 4 riders in Top10 is impresive, hope this continues at the TdF Edited by Alakagom on 23-01-2011 12:55
Of course he will join the final sprint, but even if he wins the next stage, he would lose his advantage at the time trial... His main target will be to defend his points jersey...
Really poor guy...
The virtual finish line was before the drawn one... Popovych was ahead of Andy
