ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!!!!!!
I could write half a page now about how fucked up this AI is, but I'm kinda too busy to do so. Bye, bye yellow jersey, seems like the Tour is over now. I hate that so much... 
And for what reason is Quintana then placed better than Froome on the next two stages as well?! Just because he's yellow jersey, he's always in front of him. I would have liked at least one, two stage wins in exchange for that or the KoM, but no, of course not. (Still hoping for KoM btw).
My only chance would be if ASO added a 100km time trial after stage 21 just, let's say, "to balance things" 
By the way: sorry for the delay of Thüringen, will follow soon.

AI so, so screwed 
The irony of Cadel Evans beating one of my riders to 10th place on Stage 17 is not lost on me.
And Muhammed Muhammed finally bowed out. What a brave effort.

Di Gregorio's win makes this Tour even better! Really liking the look of this so far and even though we lost few positions in GC and KoM, Demare is still on 2nd , which is more than expected for him.

Last two stages of Thüringen uploaded.
Spoiler The breakaway wins on last both stages were pretty weird, but it seems like the DT teams somehow lack strong domestiques, so the chance for breakaways is a bit bigger..

And there it is. Being beaten by Wiggins in the TT was to be expected as he surely saved his energy earlier on.
All in all, I'm not sure if to be happy or pissed, because we scored 4th most points as team On the other hand, that's still much less than Quintana. At least we will be in a better spot in the team's ranking after July for sure

Considering we finished the race with 3 riders, I'm pretty happy that Degenkolb got 4th twice in the last 3 stages.
The Tour was quite successful for us with 2 stage wins. |

Marcel who? 
3 stage wins is very nice, thank you. Shame Cav just missed out on the Green but we can't really complain. Stannard, Thomas and Phinney proved themselves to be the best leadout there.
We're definitely getting better as the season goes on though.

After all, the TDF was a very disappointing race for me. No stage win is definitly what you hope when sending Marcel Kittel. I will look into this race again when starting to plan for the next season to determine if i did anything different to the other races in terms of leadout and supporting riders.
If i counted right, then I got 6 times under the top 4 with Kittel but did not win a race. #onlyslightlybetterthanJJRojas
I should have gone full retard with him to try to win the CT crown
Positive is that Paul Voss could wear the KoM jersey for 5 days which is a great achievement.
Negative is that we lost a lot of points to ProRace and especially Liberty Seguros. It will be difficult as hell to get those points back!

It's been a nice tour with some solid point scoring on team parts. Should have fulfilled the goal thereby. Of course I have preferred the Giro but Quintana surprisingly winning caused at least some great entertainment. Sigh, his team owner isn't active anymore though, is he?
Unfortunate with stage 16, what exactly did happen on that stage, Bikex?

I bet Qunitana just rode away and the other favourites looked at each other as the AI always makes them do it instead of going on with the riding as they would do in reality

Fantastic TDF for Prorace and a pretty good first TDF of the ICL era, lets hope we will see many more in the future.
-- BikeX - Did Prorace win the team classification? |

@Shonak: There didn't happen anything strange the time gaps are just huge.
I think Froome, Valverde and Quintana attacked on the HC mountain. Contador wanted to go with them but was blocked iirc. Quintana then attacked the other two and the gap didn't stop increasing until the finish. Contador almost made it back to the Froome group in the downhill but in the end also the gap to him got bigger.
@The rider Prorace won the team classification |

TVG just kills it almost every time he touches a bike and i am loving it!!! Vancouver looks like a done deal bar some bad luck. Wilco also going well there after slightly disappointing elsewhere on the road. Rest of the squad just as plucky and above expectation as usual just picking up more and more points. Gavazzi still my pick for Surprise rider of the season, at least in team if not in the entire division or even game. God i want to see the next rankings update
