First rest day & this thread is dead already. CC and Bear missing in this tour doesn't do good apparently. GC situation is pretty clear. Fontaine the big favorite from the beginning is leading since stage 2 and probably will keep yellow until we arrive in Paris. The gaps are still small but the real...

Galacticos News June Roster moves At the end of the month we signed 28 year old late bloomer Maxciel Pereira from Brazil. He is a flat rider from Amazonia. Finance update June + 906.034 - Not the best of months due to the problem we didn't have a cheap lineup for one-day-races. Race results The mon...

You are missing here Bear. Next time just ride even if you miss some stages :) As for the race so far. Fontaine won stage 2 and got another 4 seconds on stage 3 so he definitely is already way ahead of the rest considering that the only TT should also favor him. We will see if someone can put real p...

December Tour sounds good to me

If I have time I will try to design one

So final lineup is out. Daniel Castillo had to stay at home. His atrocious training in the past months made the decision easier. # 1 http://www.radsportfreaks.com/radsport/Bilder/I.gif Marco de Luca # 2 http://www.radsportfreaks.com/radsport/Bilder/CR.gif Felipe Flores Nyuti # 3 http://www.radsportf...

I am definitely interested. I know the Andes from some years ago and instantly had some nice ideas where to go. Just not sure I would have the time to do it but as you say November is still a long way ahead. Anyway, when Tukh wants to do it & he was the first person to show interest, then he should ...

The Tour de France will start in one week. The Galacticos will start at 22h again. Goals are pretty much the same as for the Giro: - 2 stages - GC Top 3 - put pressure on Fontaine Secured spots in the lineup for the following riders: # 1 http://www.radsportfreaks.com/radsport/Bilder/I.gif Marco de L...

Galacticos News May Roster moves Fabio Renta had to leave the team after the Giro to compensate the losses made in May because of our very expensive lineup. Unfortunately there is no money for any rider. A second climber would be of great help or another strong 60-80 for Betancur. Finance update Ma...

Everybody already so tired and waiting for the finish of this Giro? We have 2 mountain stages + the TT left and still loads of riders with chances to end up in the Top 3. Fontaine took over the GC lead yesterday while Marco won the stage on top of Madonna di Campiglio. David Nguyen without that much...

I just went through my riders and found the same bug with my rider Ricardo DiazRomero. I don't want to sell him but with the time you never know.

GC situation on second rest day: David Nguyen -0:43 Thomas Fontaine Javier Torres +0:11 Patrice Debreuil + 0:53 Marco deLuca + 1:09 Marjan Lenarcic + 1:42 Hitoshi Matsuyama +1:58 Paul Nardi + 2:21 GC is a fight between Lorient and Mikado now.

So the stage is set for the upcoming mountain stages. Fontaine needs to win about 4 minutes to Nguyen before the last TT & maybe 2,5 minutes to Javier Torres. Should be possible. deLuca 54 seconds behind Fontaine. Not easy considering the strong team of Fontaine & my weak team. GC situation before P...

I just give you my personal opinion (yes, maybe I get old) + the things you hear generally in the late hour races since I came back. There is lots of times people complaining about being tired.

10-14-18-20-22 sounds like a very good proposal to me if we want to go for 5 editions. I like that idea.

I just leave my opinion against 23h here. Just too late for a tour of 3 weeks. One-day-races OK! Small tours also still acceptable at times. But who wants to ride a tour of 3 weeks soo late?

Please no 23h. 22h is already late enough. Nobody wants a GT later than that
