Campeonato de los Andes - 15h

[NoPikouze]

1-Jawad Azizi
2-Boris Bondarenko
3-John Casey
4-Kim JooSung
5-Wilco Kelderman
6-Bernardo Provenzano
7-Rahman Rezaei
8-Vlad Yezersky
9-Masoud Zandi

Participating is a last minute decision. I'm joining the race to avoid chaos!
435k daily, fucking expensive... 915k on 15 days.

Riding for Azizi of course. Stages + green jersey. A top10 in the GC would be nice. Maybe something else, because I want $$$. Too bad there is no real cobblestones, would have been fun.

Probably the other participants will stay on the german forum...


Favos:
GC: Raoul Santilliana (Recien Nacidos)
Green: Azizi
Red:
White: Nelson Mandala (Vuvuzela)

The other paricipants are idiots if they stay in the german forum. Just tell brown Recien and Wuzzel and Psycho to post here in German....Had I known you start I would have thought about starting too. Always fun beating you...

1 Berlo
2 Feng
3 Wassisisi
4 Mori
5 Qian
6 Bakthiyar
7 Uchigasaki
8 Urganov
9 Uzielli

Superteam 437k, but think would have made a fair bit of money actually. And had fun making Azizi cry. Ok, if there are 2 stages where Karli would have a chance maybe I would even have brought him... But haven't analyzed the course closely enough, just now I would have liked it for Gamov/Buonarroti...

so no Apes with stylish banana jerseys here, will have to dominate the RSF sprinter scene instead.

[NoPikouze]

I didnt intend to participate, but since the group was weak (and the parallel tours will be full with good classic riders probably), well I thought it's worth a try.
Too bad you had no cojones to join I will miss your flat monsters for controlling the race... If you had brought a sprinter hmm... Much better now!

Nevertheless, I hope to get some money by a decent gc, but I have to make a supersecretplan.

[Robyklebt]

Ok, still haven't looked at the stages closely.. .but in principle collaboration would have been easy, no? Let's say 3 sprints possible. 2 of them you wait for Karli. He wins. you get points for green. 1 you drop Karli, you win (and Uzielli and co help you control too) and you get points for green. Mmh, ok, not sure if that's enough points for green actually... forget it.

I'm joining the race to avoid chaos!

Thank you. But we still have the 4 new teams... we will see.

Green: Azizi

I think the mountain riders have a chance for green, too.

[NoPikouze]

I think the mountain riders have a chance for green, too.

You are maybe right.
Especially since I failed today's stage!

Fuck fuck fuck... Only bad things today

[Vuvuzela]

But tomorrow will be your day

[NoPikouze]

Ok, time for a little update on the rest day.

A small group, not a lot of (active) teams. Average is 5-6 online, max is 8-9.
Mountain arrivals are clearly for Psycho's Verunga. When there is a downhill it's less clear, since he sucks in that skill. Possibilities for groups.
GC is close between Verunga and Recien's Santilliana. And will be until the final time trial, where Recien will get the win easily. Verunga could have the yellow jersey for 12 days but it looks like he doesn't want it
The other contender is Protur. 6 races and lots of knowledge about the game. Maybe he will be able to make a fantastic surprise attack when he's offline, not being followed and winning everything. But we'll see if that happens
Vuvuzela's Mandala is the main (and only) man for the white jersey. Especially after his solo win yesterday.

Vuvu's Portepapoulos seems interested by the mountain jersey. But my Bernardo has it and did 2 good days by making the gap bigger and bigger. Verunga could get it as well.
And for the green jersey. It's hard to see it right now. Could be verunga, santilliana, azizi or emma green.Everything seems possible.

I'm glad to still have my 9 riders, yesterday I was sweating for about an hour whether they would stay in the race or not Luckily they didnt get siebed with 0 energy
Means I still have a couple of chances to win with Azizi. Too bad none of the ennemi flat riders felt out of the tour (psycho's 87 for example). But mine were weaker, and I really had to save them. Won't be easy to hold them everyday though. Maybe once, but the next day they'll probably understand when to attack.

Sry for german .

Tja Tour läuft bisher gut, die ersten 4 HC Etappen sind um und erstaunlicherweise habe ich gelb. Nicht das ich nicht der absolute favo bin für die Tour aber dachte zudem zp das pablo das hatt. Im großen und ganzen hatt sich der kreis ums podium doch stark gelichtet. Vuvu hatt mit mandela schon gut zeit verloren aber wenn er es weiter im rahmen hält kann er mit seinem 64zf durchaus noch ein wort mitreden, außerdem hatt er Spitz noch ein 2 eisen im feuer. aufs podium denke ich aber wird es schwerlich reichen denn pro tours Armstrong ist ein guter fahrer und mit 59 zf auch nicht zu schwach. Der der mir aber bisher am meisten aufn geist geht ist Pablo Verunga von den psychoten. Angriffslustig und mit nem ähnlichen team wie ich unterwegs ist es sehr schwehr ihn einzuschätzen. Denke die beiden wohl die die sich auf dem podium wiederfinden am ende. In welcher reihenfolge kann ich nicht sagen. Jungfahrer leicht zu sagen wird Mandela werden absoluter favo. Bergtrikot: Tja schwer zu sagen sicherlich könnte vuvu das holen denn sein gegner von pike ist ihm am berg eindeutig unterlegen. Nur will vuvu das ? ein klassiker weniger ist ein helfer weniger am ende . Tippe hier einfach auf den der es mehr will und da es bei vuvu noch um 2 gute plätze im gk geht tendiere ich dazu das pikes Bernardo das rennen da macht.Sprinttrikot: Tja hier streiten sich einige drumm . Denke mal pablo da gute chancen weil es noch einige male ins gebirge geht . MW: Tja die will ich haben und denke mal ist auch drinn . Im großen und ganzen eine schwere tour ohne die allzustarken gegner aber mit vielen guten teams und oft action.

Every active team got some stages. That's nice. But one for the multi... Ok, just one.
_________________________________________________


Personally I'm happy with the tour. 5 stages, 12th in gc and a jersey. Ok, 5.99 stages actually, but that still doesn't count as a win... I did not really manage to escape with vlad, I tried once but he was "too dangerous" according to psycho, I followed Phoenix another day and it worked (3-4') and the last days recien kept riding against me, no chance neither.
