Bugatti will start at 15h for 95% i think

part of the Team will be:

#1 James Müller
#2 Dietrich Thuran
#3 Alina Schaaf
#4 Lars Weigel
#5 Wolfgang Lötzsch
#6 Moritz Beil
#7 Kristina Vogel
#8 Axel Schmidt
#9 Salitos/Runner/Klum

so Team will be about 620k i think

Liquigas-CND most probably here for more fun with the following lineup (maybe bringing one more classic if i find such guy on the market)

after that lineup i will think about starting at 15h...

Come on, I hope you will ride 15 H , same SM and many other managers with vergy Good GC leaders but not only.

It's abt competition, having fun, not about winning.
It's not a tragedy if I lose or you lose i think.

I would like at least 15 teams at 15 H including Mr Donkey, Mr Tulpen, Mr Alk, Mr FL, Mr Gaurain, Mr SM etc.

Maybe I will join the party, but I will need sitters many times.....

now it is save who is in the Team for the tour!

Hi,

For me, this year the tour it's on the afternoon, at 15h.
Here, we have the riders who will be present.

Team Alkworld will take part in the 15h edition as well, but for the first time as a sprint team, built around the captain Daniel O'Connell. Goals will be to win one of the sprint stages and enjoy the scenery in the hillier stages.

Stage and Yellow! Luques more quiet with the victory and the yellow is a big plus. We will try to take it as long as possible, even if the two stages at weekend look pretty hard, but we will help as long as we are in yellow.

Main objective still remains the white with Alkaev and doing some more escapes as we lose the yellow

Like in the real Tour de France everything very tight. 7 riders in 1'.

Liquigas trying desperately to keep everything close it seems, he easily could have around a minute to the second placed by now. Should really. Like this at this point still 7 riders with a chance to win the GC in. Favorite though still Ortiz.

Stages, Alk dominating the sprints, winning other stages too. Some Bugatti, some Luques, some speed razor. No Donkey so far, hope it doesn't end up as the first Donkey GT without stage wins.... but well, we'll win the GC, so would still be bearable.

Lost the yellow but at least white seems almost safe. Going for some stages will be the objective for the next stages.

@ Donkey - Liquigas is not desperate or not trying desperately to keep something under control...today made some tempo because Bugatti is always trying to escape having the GC no 1 favo ...

Unfo stage 7 was compromised because i could not be online and it was a misunderstanding with mez.

stage 8 i did not want to attack early even if i could have done it easily without startinh under reg the stage 9.

Clear favo IMO is Muller the huber...but we will keep trying to win some mountain stages at least...

Trying to keep everything close means=trying not to get a big advantage with Ortiz. Desperately trying that, desperately because it is difficult not getting a big advantage with Ortiz

Unfortunately this TDF is a tour without history;

It's too easy to win the General Classification therefore I would like a Vuelta against SM, Wookie, Tulpen, Freude, Poke, FL, Donkey, Bugatti, Gaurain, Zizou, Rasumussen and so on...cause it seems it's too easy for the greatest team of all times to win against only 6-7 teams.

I need a field with at least 15 teams having at least 1 climber otherwise it's a piece of cake for my team.

Regarding to this TDF...Paquito will easily win GC , Mountain and 4 stages out of the last 6 stages (in addition to the 3 stages already won).
Btw...Bugatti already gave up!

I hope it will be more difficult during Vuelta.

You didn't mention me, because you hope I can sit you, right?!

There is a history though:)

The history being: Liquigas from Day 1 to the TT: Bugatti is the favorite!!!

@CC: Correct sometimes the best manager needs the best sitter!:))

Bugatti had the favourite rider to win the GC but the greatest team in the history of RSF made the Huber give up )

Really boring Tour... Easy win for Liquigas, others are not even near. Last week should be even more for Liquigas.
At least hoping that the real Tour de France will be a bit more interesting, at the moment it is as boring as this

THE GREATEST RIDER OF ALL TIMES, PART OF THE GREATEST TEAM OF ALL TIMES MANAGED BY THE GREATEST MANAGER OF ALL TIMES WON TDF 2016 AS WELL
