Apart from my somewhat lacklustre UAE Tour, as I still earned quite a few points this week, I expected to make a decent jump in the rankings. That wasn't the case, because while I've just passed the thousand-point mark overall, which is big news for me, some teams have earned those thousand...

Classic Var: Simmons 92nd, Lévêque 97th. We chose to decline post-race interviews for better recovering.

Are you sure they're not on a strike? Have you checked your emails?

Even though I've had several riders on podiums in recent days (including Bastien "out of nowhere" Tronchon), you still have more points than I have (well, I don't care about starting slowly, since I'll have two riders on the Tour de France podium). You're doing better than you think. Change your...

Much more fun if you don’t have to make a ctrl+F to find your riders in the results.

Now I can see some riders further up the road (I can’t tell if it’s the back of the peloton as my radio is not working). Hey guys, wait for me!

My harvest of the day: Decomble... 3 points Bevort... 5 points Let me calculate... 8 points !!!!! (I'm getting a little carried away). Big day for my team. Really big one. Beware, the tide is turning. Still, I am not sure it will be enough to extract myself from the gruppetto. For that I would...

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the rankings... The game's gruppetto is doing well. We're riding along quietly, admiring the scenery, far from the pressure of the TV cameras, exchanging gossip about the peloton. Jonas apparently used Quickstep flooring to renovate his kitchen, on the advice of...

This Marseillaise was a disaster. I'm ashamed.

My most expensive rider is not riding because he has a cough. Well...

So far my best pick is Martin Urianstad Bugge that I bought for 5 points and unexpectedly won the KOM classification in TDU. You never know. This Giosue Epis could be your secret weapon.
