Looking at Slipstream's team - they aren't that bad

It doesn't look as though Accumalux has put enough time on its rivals to see them take the overall. To me it looks like a battle between Hushovd, Petacchi, Napolitano, and Ciolek(who has the most ground to make up). The only thing that well see one of these four not win would be breakaway winner, and because of the TTT, i think several squads have guys who are capable of chasing down the breaks unlike in the TDU.

Great stuff so far... 2nd in the TTT was not expected, though I did bring some strong Timetrialists. My goal was to get 5th or somewhere close but 2nd is very very nice... 3rd in the sprint making Hushovd the strongest of the "real" sprinters is also good, 1st in the GC is also perfect, but we need a strong result after the horrorshow in Australia.

As we're missing a team, we get another team in addition to the control team. I'm controlling him by the way
And Slipstream are getting annoying, if I didn't know better, I'd say the American members have somehow hijacked my computer

Napolitano better his crap together, after i paid nearly 3 million Euros to get him for races such as this. Man how is Haedo dominating like he is. I think Hushovd will end up winning it with Petacchi 2nd and Haedo 3rd.

my team has been in 1 break so far out of the first 2 races, and that break didn't make it to the finish. My team just won't attack.

You were lucky to have Millar - if you hadn't said he was racing in this Tour, I wouldn't have noticed he wasn't included in this race - the rider id was wrong in your season planner, which I imagine is the same for Kittel

Thor Hushovd isn't placed where he should be, that's really a shame... He should be able to get in top 3 almost all stages... He managed to crawl to 7th though and 2nd GC is still good, but everything worse than 3rd GC will not be good enough. |

Just noticed this strange thing. Last season Slipstream won the same TTT in 6.29, and this season Accumalux only manged 6.55. What's that all about?

Accumalux had a strong headwind.
