106. 00:34:25 Naingimea Itimaroroa (Team Lidwinia)
With second best sprinter Kleuskens in the peloton, the team rode hard and well to grab the group one kilometer before the line. At that time, Abdolnaghad attacked, but he didn't get a solo escape. In fact, five other riders were with him and with Abdolnaghad's sprinting skills, that means a sixth place. Kleuskens won the mass sprint for seventh.

Another just-not-day. Talake and Abdolnaghad had been in the attack all day and got up to 8 minutes. But the peloton managed to get the group in the end. With Talake left in the group of GC favorites and Rongomatane just behind that, One rider managed to slip away in the final km and Talake sprinted to 8th. Rongomatane is still overall Top-10

107. 00:37:45 Majhid Abdolnaghad (Team Lidwinia)
Awesome performance by Rongomatane. I expected him to drop out of the top-10, but he actually managed to win a place and got top-10 on a HC climb. Hiralal and Talake had been in an unsuccessful group. Abdolnaghad is going to have trouble finishing tomorrow.

109. 00:33:03 Majhid Abdolnaghad (Team Lidwinia)
110. 00:33:03 Naingimea Itimaroroa (Team Lidwinia)
It worked out as planned. I sent Sopoanga and Van Doorne away to get inside a front group. Van Doorne was involved in getting the advantage to 12 minutes and Sopoanga managed to get over the Croix de Fer to get there with Rongomatane to support him. Rongomatane controlled the losses and ended up 6th overall which is great.

A classical Post-Race criterium to get a little bit of money and try to get a result. Some of the riders were tired, but they had to ride anyway. Talake even had to attack again and he did. At the top of the hardest climb the group was caught and a new one went. Rongomatane waited and got the wrong wheel in the pack sprint. Talake sprinted to some points.

Lidwinia buys Tuvaluan sprinter Dakuwanga
FUNAFUTI - The Pride of Polynesia, Team Lidwinia, has bought a new rider with the intention to start winning more races. The name is Iti Dakuwanga and he is from Tuvalu. The 30 years old sprinter will replace German Martin Kleuskens who left the team shortly after an internal doping test.

While both Kleuskens and the team management are not allowed to talk about that test, the team management insists that the doping test is unrelated to the departure of the team's sprint leader. Instead team management proclaims that Kleuskens' departure is due to "breaking internal rules concerning the use of banned substances, referring to the banned use of mints of the brand Wilhelmina." Two packages of Wilhelmina were found in Kleuskens' hotel room just before the Rambouillet-Rouen race which is due for tonight.

Iti Dakuwanga (30) has been bought to strengthen the team for the race and the upcoming Tuvaluan championships, next week in Nukulaelae. He will immediately be the team's leader for Rouen and have a chance to prove his worth. Team manager L. Winia is delighted to have a leader able to go for the wins in the next couple of months. "I'm delighted to have a leader able to go for the wins in the next couple of months," according to Winia.

So Dakuwanga is a sprinter after all. The race was flat like a pancake and that suits him well. With one day to the Tuvalu championships, most of the work came down to Van Doorne who did well with the riders from Saecoteam and VicomtesLens. Dakuwanga ended just short to victory, but got his needed points now!

When I got online, I found Jefta participation and a group ahead with 25 minutes. Nothing really happened, but Jefta got top-10 for the first time in his carreer. With number 69 which is fun.

27. 00:26:40 Malietoa Malielegaoi (Team Lidwinia)
33. 00:26:40 Foukimoana Rongomatane (Team Lidwinia)

Just not enough. A group of 10 or so rode away and Itimaroroa dropped from the group to bring Haumiatiketike in front. Then Sopoanga and one of the Socca Talakes attacked but they were caught. Then Tofilau Talake was too late for the attack by Paolu Talake and Tefau Teatu en they went away.

Lesossies had by far the strongest team. At first, half the peloton rode away and then and two from that team did.

This was a race with a lot of intermediate sprints and hills, so it took a lot of fighting to get in the group. Abdolnaghad and Hiralal failed in the beginning. Talake and Sopoanga managed to get in the group which worked together and took about 5 minutes. When in the finale Talake and three others took off and the peloton broke up in pieces, it looked like Talake might take it, being the best sprinter in the group, but the group got back and it was a 30 man sprint where Rongomatane dit well.
