Alsace 9h

[team fl]

I am not a native "German" speaker. My native language is High Alemannic. Do I count?

Nice try But you still get Narino's tempo, if you can explain it to him in Castilian.

Quien mucho abarca poco aprieta

ha!

[Alkworld]

I think Alma is the winner, although I have some commets on his answer.

i don't speak german but some translation may be

Iohannes fac totum, or better, in english, "Jack of all trades, master of none" (i don't want 5km of narino tempo in group, only in escape^^)

The funny thing here is, that almost all translation sited stage "Jack of all trades, master of none" as the translation. But in my opinion this not completely correct if you use "Hans-Dampf-in-allen-Gassen" in the way Alkworld writes about El Bergo. The "Jack of all trades" is somehow a generalist that is able to do everything good but not very good (it's about skills), but the "Hans Dampf in allen Gassen" with this context explains a person that is interfering everywhere but only causing trouble without any success (it's about activity).

I'd say our German "Hans Dampf in allen Gassen" doesn't say much about success, only that he interferes everywhere

Now you have to make Narino read this forum post. Currently he's having a hearty tarte flambée together with a nice bottle of French wine in the restaurant next to the finish line.

Sounds like Robyklebt!

So the correct translation is Robyklebt?

Just want to see Epifanio siebed by Boitel in that case.

nice action today by a gc-attack of alk 30 km before the finishline. cervantes followed by breukink got about 1 min against the big favo chicot. but 1 min maybe seems to be too less. there will come 2 mountain stages, where chicot could win secs or mins back. after the TT the distance between this riders should be like before the TT.
on the other hand there is still caro, who is able to win yellow, if saffunzanos would be a lil bit more online.

the gc is very open and should be decided between this two hubers ( chicot and caro) and the two classics with TT ( cervantes and his friend breukink ).
dont know how important reg will be for the last stage after the TT. we will see

Once-Team`s favorite-check for gc:

**** Joaquim Chicot (ChartreuseCycle)
*** Cervantes (Alkworld); Breukink (Once-Team)
** Stefano Carro (Saffunzanos)
* a surprise

[Alkworld]

Reg between the TT and Sunday won't matter. The energy consumption for the TT should be around 300. What might matter is the regeneration between the two half stages. Let's see who's going to invest more than the others to maybe win the stage.

[Elaska]

I saw the race today ! and what a group

[team fl]

Like during the Tour, exciting things happen everytime I am not around. grrr...

[flockmastoR]

to quote myself after i came back from my own race :

Team FL: oh morning guys, you never learn

[Robyklebt]

Oh, Alk here, so instead of a PN just do the report here.

Not much to do, wait, nothing happening, sieb on/off irrelevant, no siebs for Cervantes early anyway. Then last climb, some tempo, some attacks, at the 4 then of course can't drop Breukink. Apeish mistake: Not even try to follow Braithwait, 75 yeah, went on the 6, but was worth trying, otherwise a relaxing day, nothing to do except having to listen to this FL dude.

Thx for sitting, result as expected, this one missing second was just a bit unlucky in the end and was already lost in earlier stages, the TTT especially. But anyway, GW ONCE-Team, Breukink also deserved this win.

where are the votes?

[team fl]

I fear the reaction, so I skipped them... Nah, I am just too lazy.

[Robyklebt]

Alkworld: 6 (was a 4, but saved by his sitter (10) on the last stage
Rest: Who cares?

[AlmavivaItalia]

mmm... what kind of calculation have you done Roby?

(4+10)/2= 7 average
(4*6(Stages) + 10 )/7 = 34/7 less than 5... weighted average


not so good doing an average between average and weighted average...

[Robyklebt]

Maybe I did it in days?

[AlmavivaItalia]

4*5 +10

30/6 = 5...

[Robyklebt]

Oh, I thought it was 5 days!
