I had my expectations set for atleast 3rd, so 4th isn't all too pleassant. Still Bewley seems to be the best placed sprinter, so hopefully he can do a couple of top 3's and get into the top 10... My other riders won't score any points, which they could have if they had come into the top 2 :-(

I was hoping for a better result that losing 12 seconds to the winners, but I guess the other riders waited for Van Stayen who isn't a great time - trialist.

Theres no such thing as waiting in such a short TTT. Its more that the slower time trialists get in the way of the quicker ones. For you, Posthuma didnt relay until the last kilometre or 2, Van Stayen was not to blame, for he was always on Posthuma's wheel, and Im not actually sure if Cornu relayed.

I don't blame Van Stayen. It's really good that he finished in my top 5 riders, making him probably the best placed sprinter, which isn't Bewley like SotD said

11th place is quite good, I hope Hushovd can get some top 3 results. And especially I hope there will be some crazy wind.

Shitty result. 10th is no way near good enough from Bewley. Luckily he did better than Thor. I don't understand why my team doesn't form a train, I placed in some semigood sprinters like Maksimov and Bileka for the purpose :-/

Cyalogic tends to even out amongst all teams over the course of a season

Well, I guess Drujon isn't good enough a sprinter to get a role other than domestique on my team at the moment what with us holding the lead. I guess/hope it'll change in a few (1?) stage(s) when we lose the lead.

If he would even try to sprint at all, that would be great - none of my team sprinted in Stage 1, hence the lowly positions

That's a really poor result for my sprinters. At least Posthuma tried something and hopefully it will be better for us in the next stages
