Great victory for Haussler and Sram.. This was too easy for them, once again Van Loocke disappointed to not be able to discuss whatever it is ... This is not good, but at least my team decided not to work today which is good because we are facing the decision of the race and Mehr-Wenige will need all the help possible.
Welcome to the world of managers who have had Van Loocke. It is not a happy world.
As a part of this world I would like to point out that Van Loocke brought me one stage win (which caused team failure in upcoming TTT, where he got dropped as team slowed down and waited for him)

Good to see the best leadout train being rewarded - didnt happen much in PCM11. Plus Hutarovich would have won every time in PCM11 too.
Looks promising. I cannot wait for Qatar, how game will deal with as my possible train Kluge-Holloway-Mohs-Boonen looks really strong. Will they work together and build as strong train as possible train or will it be just a waste of race days?

Yes, but you didn´t understand my question properly
I meant if game will create train with three 80+ sprinters or classical one (such like 75/78/84) leaving two other big guns somewhere hidden in the pack.

Well at the Down Under Classic we saw AirBaltic with a train of Docker->M.Rowe->Cavendish while Vaitkus took a free role and tagged on to the end of another train. So that was the 3 riders with the best sprint stats in the train, and Vaitkus not - who has a slightly lower sprint, but much better flat stat.

Nice to see Kreder quite high up again, would´ve been nice with a podium place for him but guess the last stage is to easy for him...
and nice ride be inloaned M-C Nielsen taking the KoM-jersey!

Obviously the game realizes that he is in fact an Aussie and gives him some kind of National bonus.
Congrats. The training really played out well for you so far.
Still surprised about the dominance of Haussler over Davis. Davis should be similar strong and has the National bonus. And this time Haussler didn`t even need a train...

Too bad my team doesn't fit too well with this route.. But at least it's pretty interesting to wait for the final stage and see, who's our main sprinter here 
Tomorrow has to be a better day for Oz. Another "invisible day" like this is not acceptable!

Good to see Hansen again in a breakaway, and sharing the lead of the KoM. And Kump doing well again, too bad we don't seem to know how to ride as a team though.

Hmm, good to see the team attacking. But this race proves that life will be very tough this season. I didn't have much hopes for any great results here, and it looks like this will be the case.

Germany can't beat Spain, but Haussler can at least beat the Aussies. 
The points jersey seems safe now, hopefully my punchers can improve their GC positions to score a decent amont of points.

Haussler was incredible there, the Davis train simply is not strong enough for me. It is not really his race, still with zero wins down under. This time last year he was flying.
Queen stage coming, Efimkin big favourite for me.

Hopefully Schurter can keep up with the main riders again on this stage and break into the top 10 or top 15 overall.
Also it's nice to see Hugentobler in another breakaway, It's such a shame he lost contact the other day as he would be challenging for the lead if not.

Again Van Loocke was a real disappointment ... When Roturn announced on twitter that a rider of my team was involved in the crash feared by Mehr-Wenige thankfully it was not. In the next step hopefully do what he does best, attack, attack and attack. Anything can happen and a top 10 is very possible and would be optimal.
In stage today Haussler was clearly superior to all competition ..

Huge gap from Haussler, that sure was a dominant victory. Now give us Willunga

Wow, Haussler launched like a rocket, great dominant win!
Looking for the Ol Willunga, i hope we will have the live feed, i will stop by to cheer for my favourites.
For me it is between Efimkin and Dowsett clearly,
