Tour de France 2026 – Team Presentation
We proudly present our new main sponsor and our new kit.
(Tnx to Vikings Berlin for this great presentation idea)

We are probably starting at 21h, maybe 19h.
i want to ride every stage myself.
One man, one goal, one mission.
One heart, one soul, just one solution.
One flash of light, one Alcala, one vision!

19h it is.
Everybody good luck in this edition.

Nice, with form even ;D

Maybe I created this image in late June and the form isn't quite right?

Don't trust the AI . It will tell us all your secrets

*Breaking news*
Riders dismissed after leaking confidential information.

I will be here. While it is only one change from the Giro team, good training of the young guys make it much better (and more expensive). Lineup will follow.

I will start here. 19h is to mo early. 20h Would be perfect
Lineup will also follow

We are joining the 21h edition and dont hoping chaos breaks out

Team presentation

#1 GC Leader - Andre Leick
Andre Leick is the clear leader of the team and the man for the overall classification. His strength on the climbs and his unwavering determination to reach the podium make him the frontrunner.

#2 Mountain Domestique Laurent Hengen
He is the "last sacrifice." He is supposed to support our captain in the mountains. He will sacrifice his own chances in the overall standings to pave the way for the team leader's success. Chances might still be there on some stages.

#3 Classic - Laurent Betz
Our youngest, but probably our best climber in the Classics. His robustness and decent finishing speed make him the perfect helper, and he might even get to ride for himself on one or two stages. We hope he'll get some more climbing training in during the Tour.

#4 Classic - Marco Rollinger
Our Classics rider with the most pain tolerance, good on the climbs and descents, but he lacks a stronger flat-riding stat. We also hope he'll get some more climbing training during the Tour.

#5 Classic - Aldobrando Gigante
The third Classics rider in the lineup with an impressive stamina rating, and he'll be there to support the team in the time trials.

#6 Flat Power - Carlos Guatatuca
Our powerhouse and most experienced rider in the lineup. With his flat ability and good stamina, he could be important for us on some stages.

#7 Flat Power/TT - Linus Jehle
Also with us for the upcoming time trials, he'll try to keep the peloton together with his strong flat ability.

#8 Flat Support - Eugene Wansart
A support rider with good stats and a low salary, he knows what he's doing.

#9 Flat Support - Albert Heuertz
A support rider to keep his salary down, he'll probably always be the first one there, supplying the team with water, gels, and food.

Allan Wilson - In his prime and ready to go. Clear leader of the team and going the support and the manager's skill will be up to it.

Jonas Mockus - Maybe the last big job he has to do. Super-domestique.

Kaljo Pork - Aged very well and already a great classics at 25. Will be crucial against long range attacks.

John Bernal - Hopes for his chances, but it's mainly in the team for his decent climbing skills.

Yash Pal - Flat helper with decent climbing. Will be needed.

Hsien Wu - The ride you want in flat and downhill sections.

Israel Klabin - Here because he has more reg than the alternates. Sprint could get him some decent results.

Gottfried Haberler - Young flat helper with good reg. Will often be the first ride to do the job.

Knut Lundmark - Looks like the future main flat rider of the team. Will be needed and hopes for more trainings during the tour.

Collem West - Leader and clearly on the hunt for white.

Amanda Blomqvist - Here to learn and try to help West a little bit.

Amadeus Belette - The classic leader and tries to get a stagewin.

Indji Lub - classic helper and the man for TT in our team.

Harding Grim - maybe we can get him over some hills for some sprints.

Logan Ninefinger - flatrider to help a little.

Måne Jansen - flathelper.

Knut Jansson - waterboy and a little helper for the TT.

Paul McIntosh - tries to help wherever he can.

You could have used at least a bit other kind of style

Romoc Riders is here for Tour de France with the following squad:

#1 Bawuah VANDEBOUW - leader of the team looking to show sparks in hilly sprints
#2 Carlo CHAMBAERE - support rider for hills and flat
#3 Quentin DEQERCH - support rider and escape candidate
#4 Luuk LEEZER - main sprint launcher with good experience
#5 Tygo MATHIJSEN - support rider with good regen and a bit of sprint
#6 Moreno OTTEMA - classic rider with TT skills that is looking for a good spot in GC standing
#7 Pedro 'Pepito' PEPE - flat support rider
#8 Rohan ROONEY - road captain and flat leader
#9 Junior 'Juninho' JOMA - classic leader

We are here and we won the TTT.
So we make a little GC Favorites-Check:

***** Allan Wilson (Radunion)
****
***Leick (r FSCL), Rodriguez (Confidential Era), Valotto (Pinkblue Cycling), Pablo Lara (Fragola)
** to much other mountain rider to name them all

Wilson should win 2 minutes against every other mountain guys at the TT, the mountain rider has chances, when they work togehter, so they have no chance


Our own goal is to win another stage, Get a Top 5 GC place and have much fun here.

Ich such mir immer starke Felder aus aber ich denke wenn ich alles ordentlich mache sollte das weiße Trikot absolut möglich wenn nicht sogar Pflicht sein?

Vielleicht kann ich auch irgendwann eine Etappe holen. mal sehen.
Typische Mitläuferteam

A little summary after 4 stages in Tour De France.

Le Tour started with a solid Pinkblue Cycling win in the TTT stage in Barcelona, followed by 2 sprint wins in Barcelona and Les Angles by Nicolas Crespo (GruppoRoma) in a group of three that also had Andre Leick (r FSCL) and Xavi Rodriguez (Confidential Era) in front. Finally, the peloton was tricked by an attack of Momo Grimm (Pinkblue Cycling) and Junior Joma (Romoc Riders) in stage 4 in Foix, with Joma winning the stage and Grimm regaining the leader jersey.

Thx Ramoc Riders for the first little summary

09. 00:00:50 Allan Wilson (Radunion)
10. 00:01:00 Nicolas Crespo (GruppoRoma)

Close standings after the first 9 stages, It feels like the lead changes hands every day.
And a super stage 6 for Fragola with the win that feels he are the little favorite now.

General Classification Favourites:

Points classement:
01. 141 Junior Joma (Romoc Riders)
02. 138 Bawuah VanDeBouw (Romoc Riders)
03. 128 Jerome Boyer (Mintsprint)

Question will Ramoc invest to ride for the jersey. I hope so p1 and p2 stands for it. Clear favorite at the moment and after the break, three flat stages will come (2x ultra flat, 1x flat)

Points classment Favourites:
Junior Joma ☆☆☆
Bawuah VanDeBouw ☆☆
Nicolas Crespo ☆

Mountain classement:
01. 030 Anderson Kouassi (Fragola)
02. 020 Pablo Lara (Fragola)
03. 015 Jerome Boyer (Mintsprint)

Will Fragola target only on the mountains classification, or is the focus on the general classification? That is the question that will arise.
Big mountain points will come in this second week and we will see big changes I think.

I can do the next summary after tomorrows stage if you are interessted or maybe anyone else can to it earlier.

Let me know.

I am waiting for it, on hot coals

The next review, the gaps are narrowing and we're entering the final stretch.
16 out of 21 stages have been completed.

General classment:
01. 00:00:00 Allan Wilson (Radunion)
02. 00:00:42 Pablo Lara (Fragola)
03. 00:00:56 Anderson Kouassi (Fragola)
04. 00:01:10 Andre Leick (r FSCL)
05. 00:01:37 Smilla Vallotto (Pinkblue Cycling)
06. 00:02:07 Laurent Hengen (r FSCL)
07. 00:02:08 Xavi Rodriguez (Confidential Era)
08. 00:03:00 Daniel Gruesco (DGSC Cycling)
09. 00:03:14 Finn Bennet (Confidential Era)
10. 00:03:17 Collem West (Thors faule Drachenband)

Radunion finally has the lead they were hoping for, while Fragola is in second and third place, a very strong Tour so far.
But the gaps are still small, and with three more mountain finishes likely, Leick could still be in contention for a podium finish.
The final days of the Tour remain incredibly exciting.

General Classification Favourites:
Allan Wilson ☆☆☆☆☆
Anderson Kouassi ☆☆☆☆
Andre Leick ☆☆☆
Smilla Vollotto ☆☆
Xavi Rodriguez ☆

Points classement:
01. 246 Bawuah VanDeBouw (Romoc Riders)
02. 224 Lief Rodgers (Bearclaw)
03. 213 Jerome Boyer (Mintsprint)

With two flat stages still to go, it will probably be one of the first two riders who makes it, although Mintsprint has always been good for a attack out of the field on the hill and mountain stages.
And what about Bearclaw? Is he in holiday mode or will he still be there for the decisive stages?!

Points classment Favourites:
Bawuah VanDeBouw ☆☆☆
Lief Rodgers ☆☆
Jerome Boyer ☆

Mountain classement:
01. 110 Anderson Kouassi (Fragola)
02. 052 Collem West (Thors faule Drachenbande)
03. 032 Andre Leick (r FSCL)

Fragola will take the mountain classification with a solid lead and little ambition from other teams.

Youth classement:
01. 00:01:27 Collem West (Thors faule Drachenbande)
02. 00:01:42 Sean Lowry (Confidential Era)

I'm really curious to see what happens in the GC, in my opinion, anything is still possible. The Tour is not over!

Great Work, i miss Lara in the GC favorites, i have to gain 1 minute against him to get him, so its nearly impossible, Smilla will not get Time Boni, so it will very hard.

Fargola really strong team, in the first week, me and i mean we doenst think much about he participation, but very good work from this team. For my taste, to much attacks on stages when he has stage chances, but okay, its the new style or ride here.

Leick for my prediction stronger in the last hill then the most other, but Mockus with downtrainign still here and a good helper for the rest of the stages. Stage 20 will be the best chances to get a big adventage, when it works, you can get it, but when the other are with you, they can win it too.

All in all we can have 4 guys in 30 seconds at the end. This could be very interesting. I am happy, when i can get my 5. place. When everything happen here normal, i dont have tosell a rider, so a successful tour

My intention was that Fragola would have to make a decision between Anderson and Pablo, and couldn't have both on the podium.
But we will see ... i am hyped for the last stages.
