Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar!
Good luck with this, I think you have nice team. I think it woulda been more realistic maybe signing some riders after the season, as you have destroyed the Green machine Europcar.
Offredo went into the BOTD. When the favourites started attacking at the end, he managed to stay with the three best early attackers, Voigt, Battaglin and Julian Kern. In the end, he got a nice 4th place, as the old man got the win.
Our expectations are very low for this race. All riders here, exept for Bouhanni (3) and Rolland (4) are in awful form. Rolland is only here because the organisers gave us a big load of money for bringing him, even though he will only be a tourist. Our lead-out men (Pichon, Bonnet, Delage and Roux) are all completely out of form, so I'm afraid Nacer will have to follow the wheels and hope for the best on the 5 flat stages.
Delage takes a turn at the front as the 8-man BOTD rides through the beautiful landscapes of Provence.
He picks up enough points at the 2 KOMs to wear the jersey tomorrow.
Delage, clearly out of form has been struggling to keep in touch for a long time. When the four best riders in the breakaway increases their pace with 11 km to go, Delage, Bihel and Kowalski, with Tarride even further behind, have to let Tulik, Kern, Aberasturi and Daniel go.
At the very same moment, the peloton splits, with 26 riders getting a huge gap in no time, and all FDJ.fr riders in the second group. Before the manager can react and put his out-of form helpers to work, they're gone.
The front group, even further reduced, catches the remaining escapees with about 6 km to go.
With 3 km to go, Delage gives all he's got to hang on and hope for a top 25.
Under the flamme rouge, it's the Italian teams who dominate in France, with L-R, Chicchi, Colbrelli and Andriato, with Boivin (L) and Modolo in the 2nd row.
And Chicchi wins by a huge margin.

Our expectations were lowered significantly after yesterday's awful stage. The goal today is to keep Bouhanni at the front of the pack and get him on a wheel.
Pichon and his new friend Malacarne take off at the front.
Laurent does his best, but he couldn't keep Malacarne from taking out the two KOMs on the day. To the manager's relief though, he discovers that there were only 5 points on the last climb, so Delage keeps his jersey with 20 points against Malacarne's 15.
With 25 k to go and the gap still over 2 minutes, Malacarne has had enough and says goodbye to Pichon, who digs deep to come across, but the gap will only get bigger.
8 km to go: We try to organise a sprint train, with Roux ahead of Bonnet, Turgot and Bouhanni. Malacarne still has more than 30 seconds lead.
1,5 km to go: Turgot and Bouhanni get blocked and are some way behind. AG2R and Bardiani have the advantage. Bonnet is still on Mezgec's wheel.
500 m to go: Turgot does a great job and pulls Bouhanni in a perfect position to jump. However, he gets boxed in, right in the middle of the pack. Bonnet is still our front man, while Colbrelli has an advantage..
And Colbrelli takes it. Behind him, it's really tight, and Bonnet is passed right on the line and finishes just off the podium in 4th.

With a total of 48 KOTM points on offer, Delage attacked right from the gun. He crossed the first passage of the climb in 1st place, but after he was caught, he had a really hard time with getting any more points and struggled just to stay with the 5-man group. With 35 km to go, he was dropped, and took a day off.
Bouhanni does a lot better today, 3rd place is a good improvement. Chicchi gets his second stage win, the third for the Italians. As a bonus, he reclaims his leader's jersey.
Delage still holds the KOM jersey, but his lead has been cut to 10 points down to Romain Zingle.

Delage woke up completely exhausted and was barely able to get on the bike at the start, so we made the decision to not fight to keep the KOM jersey and go for the sprint. Roux was a part of the BOTD of 6, which contained several of the front runners for the jersey, including 2nd placed Zingle and 3rd placed Sørensen.
Zingle came out as the strongest and can celebrate the KOM jersey, with no more climbs left in the race.
With 3 km to go, the 6 have still got a good chance. Canuti has made his move with Sørensen and Zingle behind. Roux is still fresh and ready to make his move.
They're all caught by the best sprinters, except for Sørensen, who takes a nice win. Roux gets 7th.

And as usual, we were present in the breakaway. Turgot got his chance today, along with 6 others.
With 10 km to go, the gap was well over a minute, when two strong riders attempted to bridge the gap, Gorka Izagirre, and the former FDJ rider Sandy Casar, now riding for Sojasun.
They easily stayed away, but Turgot, who was by far the best rider in the break, couldn't get any further than 2nd, while Bacquet claimed a big win for Bigmat.

Heading into the final TT, Chicchi has a 12-second lead on Phinney, so no wonder who is the big favorite. 19 riders, including good TT riders like Tom Dumoulin, Keizer and Ivan Gutierrez are in the front group who will fight it out for the top placings, Anthony Roux is our hope today, we will be very happy with a top 10.
Live coverage!
151 riders to go: Eloy Teruel has set the bar already with a time of 16'22''.
120 riders to go: Yoann Paillot from La Pomme did a good ride, but was just two seonds too slow to beat Teruel. The second FDJ rider, William Bonnet is now on the course.
109 riders to go:Bonnet makes a decent finish to come in 8th until now, 7 seconds off the pace of Teruel.
95 riders to go: Off the race broadcast, Ion Izagirre came agonisingly close to beating Teruel. He finished with the same time, but is behind his countryman. Laurent Pichon has left the starting ramp.
72 riders to go: Just as Rolland sets off, a huge surprise at the finish line. The Portuguese Jose Goncalves sets a new best time, 5 seconds ahead of Tomasz Kiendys in 2nd, with a time of 16'15''.
71 riders to go: But just after him, Maxime Bouet comes to take the lead by 1 small second! The time to beat now is 16'14''.
66 riders to go:Pierre Rolland is in the lead on the first checkpoint!
61 riders to go: Things are really happening here! Rolland collapsed completely on the final climb and finished 33 seconds behind in 77th place. Just after him though, the top placings have been shaken up. The Irishman Martyn Irvine came across first to take the lead, but was then beated by Lars Petter Nordhaug coming right behind him, before Kristof Vandewalle came behind him again and took the lead by one second!
Time to beat is now 16'10''.
57 riders to go: FDJ.fr's biggest hope today, Anthony Roux, sets off.
50 riders to go:Roux is in 86th, 21 seconds off the pace at the checkpoint. What is happening?
45 riders to go: Incredible! He was just fooling us! With a fantastic climb, Roux takes the lead with 4 seconds on Vandewalle! This is a contender for the top placings today. Time to beat now is 16'05''.
29 riders to go: Barbin, the first of the 19 riders who are 40 seconds or less behind the leader, Chicchi, sets off. The hunt for the win is on.. Roux is still the leader.
18 riders to go: Ivan Gutierrez is in 4th place at the checkpoint. Is the veteran going to clinch a surprise podium place?
15 riders to go: He falls slightly apart on the climb, but gets himself across the finish line in 11th, 10 seconds behind Roux.
13 riders to go: Tom Dumoulin, the first of the major favorites, comes to the checkpoint. He leads. Can he match the fabulous finish from Roux?
8 riders to go: He can't! 3 seconds behind Roux. Now Taylor Phinney is the only one who can take away his stage win. Phinney goes into the lead at the checkpoint, with 2 seconds to spare on Dumoulin. It's gonna be close..
1 rider to go: Dang! Phinney throws his bike to the line. he knows that he is a lot slower than Roux on the hill. Phinney knows that he most likely has won the race, and turns to look at the clock...
So close...
0 riders left: A few minutes later, Chicchi comes to the finish at a leasurely pace. He couldn't expect to keep his jersey, so he took it easy, finishing 51 seconds behind the winner of the Etoile de Besseges, Taylor Phinney.
Anthony is terribly disappointed with losing the stage by one second. Then, out of the blue, the race director runs over to Anthony and asks him to come with him. He tells Anthony that they had to recalculate the times once again, and that Anthony now was ahead and has won the stage by the least possible margin. Stunned and delighted with finally getting a stage win for his team, he asks the director how this could happen.
He smiles and whispers in Anthony's ear: "Vous etes francais".
We got our stage win, but in a way that we did not expect at all.

Gallopin
A team with several decent TT riders, some sprinters, and lots of attackers and good rouleurs, who should do a decent job. the wind, and bad form of most of the riders is a challenge though.
With so many quality sprinters here (Cav, Greipel, Goss, Ciolek), our hopes of Gallopin, Vichot and Soupe doing anything were slim.
So we decided to get someone into that breakaway. Le Bon tried first, then it was Offredo, then Mourey, then Mourey again, and this time he and three others were allowed to get a gap.
They gave it a good go, but were caught 10 km from the line.
Ladagnous and Soupe were the only FDJ.fr riders capable of following the wheels, which resulted in a 9th place for Matthieu, not too bad, while Goss takes the win.
