"Lars worked for Nerz", I like the sound of that Anyway, continues to be interesting, especially with your reports that cover so much time. It's nice, really.

Well, this was my week off, so it was the perfect time to start the story and get some reports in. I have two more reports ready, but with work and school starting again now, I will spread them out a bit, since I won't be able to play as frequent now. So I'll probably post the next update Tuesday, Wednesday the latest!
Selwink - Thanks, he'll need it! (Degenkolb and Sagan are expected there...)
sutty68 - Thanks it's a big step for a 21 year old!
ricardo123 - Thank you. It shows his natural ability for cobbles 
cunego59 - Nerz finished 11th on the GC, by the way. It was a strong field so he did a great job! Thanks for the kind words!
welker3257 - Going over the limit in E3 and Gent - Wevelgem taking its toll, but he's doing all right

Hmm, quite a disappointing GT. Wouldn't it have been better starting in the Vuelta? He would have had more rest after the cobbles then.

Some decent flat stage results, but a very hard start on the big scene for Lars.
At least he will get some rest before the NC then...

Tough Giro for Lars, but it can only get better in next years.

Selwink - Vuelta would've been better in the season, but even lesser chances for sprinters. I actually think the Tour might be the best GT for Lars generally, because it moderates on mountains, in comparison to the Vuelta 
Atlantius - Some much needed rest, indeed It was quite a disappointment, but at least we got Evans in top 5, which was quite nice in a strong field.
admirschleck - That's very right! Let's hope he improves in climbing a bit! |

Shame about the Giro withdrawal 
But its all about the learning experience, next year he will come back in a better frame of mind  |

The next update will be posted between tonight and Thursday, depending on how much time I can spend on PCM. It'll go from his Giro-withdrawal up until the National Championship.
Also, the more disappointing results have to do with trying out Extreme every once in a while (not permanently, (yet)) and having set a form schedule which peaked for E3 and Gent - Wevelgem and wasn't good enough for the Giro. Will have to revise for next year, especially since I want him to be a top sprinter, the best, within a few years. Northern Classics are secondary. San Remo and Green Jersey in the Tour are the biggest dreams 
sutty68 - That's for certain Italy was a tough experience but necessary for him!
welker3257 - It seems he's paying a toll for his high form in the cobbled classics. With the NC coming up, I hope he can grow in form a bit more! |

Hard to get some PCM time there days. I've got to study, some work to do, a family member in the hospital and two gigs with the band coming up in the next two weeks!
I'm doing my best, though! |

Found a little time.
Next update shouldn't take too much time (few days tops)!
sutty68 - Not a bad idea  |
