The start was not that great but it went better on stage 3 which saw Sagan taking a podium. Also notable: That damn breakaway AI on stage 1

And it's a wrap...
Spoiler Bunzl-Centrica > BMC and Lavery probably delivering some of the surprise of the year

Big congrats to Bunzl! This should be a huge step towards avoiding relegation. (?)
Sagan with a good performance.

Really disappointed by Course de la Paix. Kristoff did nothing more than a few Top5s, Kwiatkowski also not better. At least he was in 10th position after five stages. And of course he's 11th in the end with some guy passing him I wonder if he spent some time with BMC or what?

Thanks again!
More super stuff from Gilbert, definitely one of the magnificent seven of ICL season 1.
Looking forward to the return of Bikex, hope he has the same enthusiasm in the ICL when he returns as when he started.
Will be probably do a big season review, hopefully some others can follow suit. |

Enlighted to see that CarbonSport is still the #1 team in the Prestige Ranking. Carry it home, guys!

Good podium at Bucamaranga Classic by Sagan but i hugely dislike that Liberty performed so well in both races as they get a tons of points for that

Nice ride by Thomas and Kennaugh there. Was expecting horrendous results in that race but the good old PCM AI made the hardest race ever in to a bunch sprint for 6th.

Great stuff, looks like the Team treble for the "Autumn Hillies" is within reach with two in two wins. So come on Purito, let's get your third Lombardia win (& hopefully World Tour #1)

No worries, Liberty hits deck after Lombardia. There should be enough points lying around in CT for Kittel to take CarbonSports lead home

So much delighted by the rankings..
With such a difficult start for us, that 5th place now is heart-balm. In the end we are pretty much where we thought we would be. Only thing a little sad is that we just missed out on the individual rankings with Froome. If Purito is gonna get some serious points more, then I'll be ok with it, but like this it would be meh because of two second places in Mount Fuji and Le Tour. However, Kwiatkowski also a good man and we still need to talk with Kristoff a bit

Hoping Rodriguez manages to eclipse Contador in the prestige rankings as Rodriguez should get massive stat reductions come the end of season and won't be as effective next season.........
- Silvio - I am sure Froome will be on many people's shopping lists!
- Just a few races to go now, will be a fun time at the end of season with the national champs, world champs etc. |

Dude, no disrespect to you mate, but you're so obsessed with Rodriguez. This is like the 5th or 6th time during that season you demand a stat reduction for Purito. I get it, he's old and you want Gilbert to win and the almighty spanish armada is just in the way of things happening, but always mentioning each time Purito wins something doesn't really help your case, I'm sure bikex will handle him fine, keeping age & ICL points in mind.

5 or 6 times .... well that is an over exaggeration (more like once or twice maybe thrice). BUT even if what were true that would equate to no more once a month (we started this back in April), so if commenting on someone less than once month is obsession then I guess I am obsessed.........
Granted I do want the Spanish Armada to be sunk!
Besides, I think I have a right to talk as much rot as I like here on account of all the races I have done. |

Bit disappointed by the Bucamaranga result, but Mohoric did great in Milano - Torino. |
