This game has a weird sprinting mechanism

An ok-ish result from Gaviria, but what Maninnen is doing this season is just insane.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Here's a tip - don't put Saber in races where Kristoff competes

I need more from Vesely if he wants to get high up in the GC.

For 73rd places, of course At least we were a little active in breakaways, eventhough nothing came of it.

The battle between the new managers was tight, as Quicibal managed to be 67th, eat that  Too bad the Strava guys are such try-hards and finish with two riders in the top-50

Cav timed his sprint well for a podium and takes the leaders jersey. the team will need to step up to defend.
Thought Swift was a certain winner with 1km to go, sprinting is a bit of a mystery to me, is it all about energy management earlier in the stage?
Congrats to Atlantius and thanks to Gustavovskiy for the reports.

Another ok-ish result for Gaviria, but looking at the gaps it can go up, but also very down. Really happy with the work Biermans is doing though!

I notice a pattern in the sprint stage races - whoever finishes Top 3 in a stage, finishes outside Top 10 the following stage. Here's a table how the Top 3 in Stages 1-3 ended up in the following stage (the finishing position is in brackets):
Spoiler | Stage | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | | 1 | Altur (28) | Kristoff (17) | Debesay (24) | | 2 | Manninen (12) | Guerao (16) | Cavendish (15) | | 3 | Vessely (12) | Swift (3) | Ewan (11) | | 4 | Guarnieri (?) | Saber (?) | Swift (?) | | | | 5 | | | |
The table will be updated at the end of each stage

Still, only up to 20th in the GC, but at least we get some points and won't be struck by a yellow jersey sprinting curse

BTW, this stage profile is the same as the Hanko Classic one, right?

The leadouts actually looked good and I thought for sure Ewan or Swift would win that. But congrats Marco!

You can do it Saber!
I'm not asking you to win, just get some bonus seconds in the last two stages and make it a decent race for once.

Consistently in the mix proving to be beneficial so far for Avelino as he’s a single second off the GC lead! Hopefully he can keep this up!
