My first and very likely last Tour this month!

Team

1 S. Berlogea
2 I. Duculescu
3 O. Duculescu
4 K. Eiterolloid
5 O. Feng
6 W. Machoro
7 S. Mori
8 B. Sagyrbayuly

Goals:

Stages: sprints with Karli.
GC: Top 20 with Feng or/and Berlogea
red: Don't give a shit
green: Yeah, Karli yeah!
grey: who cares?

So not really big goals, probably won't make much money either. Could turn out to be 5 sprints too, depending a bit on the group, lots of strong sprinters and...mmh, the thing looked harder at first sight, don't really like it anymore, seemed balanced, it isn't. But well, we'll start with the Karli express. Even thought about bringing Conti too for a while, but Karli doesn't seem to really like Fabulous... "to obsessed with winnig, a capitalist bourgeois pig, wins, money, that's all he cares about, he's the class enemy, he needs reeducation! Or I finally could put the dynamite, that the boss puts under my sattle and threatens to blow up if I don't sprint, to good use, free the world of Conti". So just one of the 2, can manage them for one day races I think, but a whole tour? To dangerous, with Karli that seems to get more militant lately. Damn anarchist...

yeah, kaju start here.

Goals:
- 1 stage
- beat bergzwerg every stage
- yellow, red, green, white, black, pink...
- world rule

Oh my godness, it's a guiness! Team FL also in the irish game! According to the newest Infos the Liechtenstein team will start with these riders:

x1 Chuck Bass who will beat the shit out of nobody!
x2 Ronny Beck who will slash nobody after Chuck beat the shit out of him!
x3 Gilles Braas who will kick a slashed and beaten nobody's ass!
x4 Daniel Clavadetscher who will punch an ass kicked slashed and beaten nobody's face
x5 Lorenz Dürr who will do nothing, as usual... perhaps pretend being nobody
x6 Pedro Garrido who doesn't give a shit what happens to nobody!
x7 Frantz Granvorka who will baguette slap nobody after what happened before!
x8 Haruki Murakami will finally finish nobody with the horn of a virtual unicorn existing only in his dreams.


Goals for this Irish tour: Have fun, look cool. And beat Karli in Sprint with the unfortunate Lorenz Dürr.
For the GC, the team management is totally unprepared, so there is nothing to write at the moment. Perhaps this will change later on. Leader for Team FL will be "I am" Chuck Bass, if he's not drunk, intoxicated or occupied with girls.

I wanted to not start here, but so many known people start here... maybe I will, need to think about it with my good morning coffee

Team Franconia will participate at 15:00 or 21:00, decision will be made till 14:00 today. Have to think about while having lunch at work.

Team will cost roundabout 380K, Objective should be clear: Yellow Jersey

7 min left to decide!!!

Well, start is fix.

That's me! Mori and Feng were only bought for this tour!

1st stage would have been funnier with Erdalkfrei, but GW to BayernPower and Franconia, who is GC-favorite No. 1 at the moment.

I think tomorrow is a MS is possible. But from my side, it is Franconia and Bayern again who have to control at least the first 2/3 of the race.

Franconia really isn't the favorite nr 1.

Unless he decides to become stupid, he's won it. Nobody in front comes close in TT. Dachdecker with 77 and more pavé, but that won't be enough to gain time on Ramos. Chasing intermediate sprints, winning tomorrow would give Dachdecker a small chance. but, it won't happen. Fairly sure. GC is done, 1 Ramos 2 Dachdecker (if he's on from now on) 3 Dubois, maybe Mengelberg. Weis too far back to get on the podium, unfortunately not too far back to get my great GC leader Feng.

Tomorrow, sprint certainly possible, unlike FL don't see Conia and Bayern responsible for 2/3...responsible yes, certainly you won't see a Ape without first a Conia in, (or in the escape...) for Bayern on the other hand.... for green a group would even be positive, might risk losing yellow though. We'll see, Bakhtiyar and co are ready.

Perfect start for our team.

The other time trial riders are probably out of the race for the GC. Dachdecker from Erdalk could be a problem tommorow, if he can't be blocked and get some seconds.

Without being too enthusiastic, Ramos should be "the man" for the GC, if nothing unexpected happens, he should win his first tour.

Well, you never know what may happen... Server crash, Computer says "no", Lighning strike, whatever. Or Mr. Conia really becomes stupid.

First, I wanted to write first 1/2 of the race. Then I thought twice and decided, that I would feel much more comfortable whe they would do the first 2/3 of the race (even the first 1/2), just because I am lazy. But of course, I don't know if they also feel comfi with it. All I wanted to say was (in general, or sth. like that...): I also think that tomorrow, sprint is certainly possible . And because Dürr didn't piss in his bed last night, I am pretty sure he is in a good shape for today.

+3 sprint of course makes Lanna, Karli and Dürr stronger too compared to Zylstra.

Still, I want to add Kaju to that list. After today for 3 stages Zylstra will be 95-93-92-91 in basically flat finishes. -1 1 and 0. At +1 and -1 the few points Karli and Dürr have more will only have a minimal impact, something like 92,3 vs 95 or so. Zylstra will be the nr 1 favorite, which of course doesn't guarantee a win, but gives him good chances. The horrible form giving, well, yesterday the sprint in the back was VERY clear.... Zylstra, then a big gap, Karli that just beat Dürr, then another big gap, Young. Of course it's possible that the 3 others had all a bigger malus than Zylstra, but 3 of them? Possible, but likely. So 3 days with Kaju as strongest sprinter, 2 more than Dürr, 3 more than Karli, 4 more than young... he'll want our help. He'll get it, but... he will need to show up today too, no excuses, today not main favorite, if he wants red, ok, attack, but don't expect any help from me in the back until you start... and todays work will be taken into account for the whole 3 days.

So basically agree with FL..... the 2 supersprinters Dürr and Karli will dominate, sure, but we demand work from others too. And maybe first.

Second win for Bayern, Franconia not stupid yet.

Wanted to write more, but that's all... Dürr ready for another unlucky day in hell.

Oh, I join FL writing!

Second Bayern win, Franconia not stupid yet! Yeah! In other news the ape is bored to death. 3 more days of this? Help!

2nd day and still everything ok

2nd time in a row bayern worked very well for leader-jersey and stage-win

a little escape short before the end was caught by the bad guys Ape, Kaju and Bayern...the baddest of the all, FL were only sucking wheels

Franconia still not getting stupid. Maybe tomorrow?

KARLI broke the 5000 points barrier today. Nothing else to report.

Knew it, something strange happened last night between Dürr and Hargi. Did he stole him his winner mentality by doing barbarous things???

Where is the report-bug button ?!

Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuzzzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

So, either today Dürr validates his performance or another one wins (!). Anyway, it looks like another sprint, with or without a serious group this time. And we are still waiting for any stupidity from Franconia, although the GC doesn't matter for Team FL. But it would be entertaining. Yeah, give us some entertainment today!

No Stupidity by Franconia...focus is clear and well tuned...

"Tunnelblick"

Dürr ... a star is born ... we will see tomorrow the triple^^
