Rigotto is the new Bernucci.
HOW DO YOU SCREW THAT UP TEAM. HOW. That should have been a sure top 5.
This is why I'm so far behind in the rankings.

YES FINALLY
A race where my team was actually active.
Multiple attacks from De Winde and eventually a unexpected 7th from Barbe 
We may not come last in the rankings after all.

Result as expected, but what worries me is that the team seems gutless and tired.
Program for last night in Japan: sushi, sake and karaoke to rediscover the spirit.
Gratz to Fuji for the home win. That team is really in the shape ours want to be.
And thanks for reporting, Bikex! |

Our next classic of the calendar is the Trofeo Matteotti! Contrary to the earlier classics, Matteotti offers a legitimate chance for the puncheurs to take home the victory, rather than the sprinters and cobblers. While some of the main contenders for this race may still be battling it out in Andalucia, it’s never too early to take a look at what the next race will bring in terms of excitement!
After a lot of frantic scrambling about the logistics of the race route, the organisers are ready to welcome riders to Italy! The 246.6 km race is classified as hilly, and there is certainly no lack of hills. After cruising through a small stretch of flat roads, riders will tackle the Strada per Passo Manghen fifteen times, which is 3.8 kms of climbing. The climb itself features a 5.6% average gradient and slopes up to 8.2%! On paper, this circuit favors the puncheurs who can pull out a gap on the incline, but don’t give up on the possibility of a reduced group finish, as the peloton may be able to pull back escapees on the final descent.
Getting the number one bib is Commonwealth’s Nathan Earle, who can climb and accelerate decently. He’ll also have some decent helpers in Alemayhu and Wurf. Eroski’s Diego Milan and Jose Ballester are contenders, likewise iBanesto’s Mate and Pasamontes, Peugeot’s Malle, Mesfin and Shiferaw (Standard Bank), Niv (BNP Paribas), Schafer (LKT), Ljungblad (Zoegas), Moletta (Miche), and Chabbane (Argo). However, none of these riders have a punch like Earle, Stevic (KazMunayGas), and Chu (Fuji), so they’ll have to rely on pure power.
Some punchy sprinters shouldn’t be left out of the mix, like Tarqui and Sabido (Millenium), De Ketele (Dexia), and many many others.
The race really is wide open, so let’s hope we have an exciting 250 kms ahead!

Maybe in retrospect should've brought Diaz here, so I'm not looking for much.

Remember the start of the season... was looking back and forth to the classic profiles, to my team...
Trofeo Matteotti was the only race leaving me optimistic.
It's time to deliver! |
