Yeah well Riccitello turns out to be a pure climber without much punch. For this game, this basically means, that his scoring is limited to races with long and hard climbs. There are not many one-day races for that, so it basically comes to the GC points of stage races for him. For that it´s...

You gave up on him? He showed pretty good shape the last races, where he participated and with Gee out he will be the sole GC leader for his team. The vuelta is the main target of his season, so Top 10 is realistic in my eyes, if he doesn't crash..

So as we are entering the last decisive part of the season, I think, it is worth taking a look at how the individual teams in the Top15 ovverall are structured. In my eyes there are a few cheap good scoring popular riders, which definetly hurt you, when you don´t have them as a lot of your...

Yes, today and tomorrow will be decisive for the GC. I think it´s definetly possible to drop Milan here, if you make the race hard and if you go really hard perhaps also Brennan. Teams without a sprinter like UAE have to try at least..

I contacted the race organisers regarding the route selection for stage 3 because, to be honest, I think it's a real shame that the stage will probably end in a boring sprint, despite the potential that the region has to offer. When Kassel was chosen as the destination, the original plan was to...

Is there really no thread for the Deutschland Tour?

So Brennan and van Aert will both line up at the Deutschalnd Tour. The question for us who have both in their team. Which one do you prefer to be their leader/GC rider in the race? First you would think Brennan, because only 33 players have him, instead of van Aert, who is in 60 teams. But if...

Hmm, as much as I like Lipowitz riding the Deutschland Tour, which passes on Saturday just 500 meters from my apartment, for this game it´s not good at all, as it´s a sprinter friendly route, where I don´t see him scoring big. Also that he doesn´t ride the Worlds, which has a route, that could...

To make things a bit more exciting here: Our great leader @Salvarani does not have the two popular big scorers Magnier and Uijtdebroeks in his team.

Biggest disappointments this year until now in my team and popular in this game: - Niklas Behrens - Hugh Carthy Both are not even close of scoring something significant, not at all for the whole year until now...

Well, the last two weeks reminded me, why I had been so low in the ranking until June.. Guess, I have to wait until the vuelta to gain a few places again...

Is there any news about Riccitello? PCS doesn´t have his time? Are there reports, that he crashed?

It' s because you have the best pick of the game: del Toro

So Wout´s rest schedule is out: 20.08 Deutschland Tour 31.08 Bretagne Classic - Ouest-France 12.09 Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec 14.09 Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal 20.09 SUPER 8 Classic Not much race days left, but at least all of these race days, have good point potential. It will be very...

Unfortunately for him Kooij will also be here and I highly doubt that Kooij will be used as his lead out rider..
