Kirchen did well, but it was a hilly stage, so his element. It was Hincapie who did amazing! |

Yes, what a TdF! You're doing great in France Alex! Nice signings too, but just a question to you about the transfers:
Are you going to try to sign a GT rider or are you keeping your team as a sprint team?

Almost nobody could keep up wiht Lovkvist on Col D'Agnel.
 And he won it.
He was leading on Prato Nevoso until Sanchez caught him
Gerdemann went with Karpets and Monfort, but it was too early. They will be caught
Kim Kirchen attacks
Moreau, Sastre and Leipheimer going for the victory. Lovkvist and Kirchen are right in front of them
While Sanchez is alone in front
Di Luca, Menchov and Cunego attacking
Evans goes there too
Sam Sanchez will be caught soon
The first group of the race now. With Sanchez hardly hang on
Last corner...

That looks suspiciously slow in sprint and mountain stages. Are you sure you are not on easy and i say you crank it up to hard for the last mountain stage on the alp and also on the champs see how good you look then?? It will be more of a challenge and look more realistic because hincapie wont be top 5 |
