Brrrr...
Finally got the bill for my brillant team this month.... Ridiculous line up as usual in february, but while until now I was rewarded for it, fantastic results for the quality of the team, this time CC presented me with the hefty bill

He's not a nice guy!
But... I'm the moral winner anyway, who else.
CC could chose between 2 options, Zhasulan or the classics, he went for the classics. Shows the respect he has of my terrific abilities, he thinks he has better chances to beat the classics then Fahrny. Ok, maybe it's more his form suspicions... anyway, moral winner ape!
Hoped to survive today with help from others... usually happens:) was 99% clear CC was going to sieb at the climb to Gassin, to far to go only with the 2 top classics.. ape hoped enough other guys there, Mbak, Portugal mainly, who then would cover for their own climbers.. .and Fahrny

They didn't, and where right I think.. Mbak in the back anyway... Even if they block, Zhasulan 88, with a block earlier he would have made tempo in the last km, and maybe lost 1" to the rest... and tomorrow he's still 88. If he doesn't block and Fahrny and co get away like they did, then Fahrny 87 vs 86-85, still outsiders, they get the same status in front, so..logic. Surprised at Austis winning again though, 71 in front, didn't expect that. And then CC didn't ride for Vino today, so didn't attack at the end, as I originally thought he would. But perfect race buy Quick, suspect tomorrow will be similar, Vino-Askarov show, probably with less luggage.. or the same amount of luggage... mmh, will see, not easy for CC tomorrow. Today perfect. Ah, almost... wrong sprint by CC, even when getting demolished I still criticize, yep. WHO was he following??? For the GC tomorrow the most dangerous guy is Félicien no? (or didn't see the sieb, were others stronger?) then follow him, cover the hardest opponent in the GC.
And just for SM I won't disclose my winnings (winnings?) today

Most expensive team in the race, and it's complete shit, I know, but I thought it would be cheaper than CC.... too many useless 60-80, yeah yeah. And Uchigasaki a better leader than helper. But still, 4 guys with over 70 mountains vs 2... and the guy with 2 is more expensive, pah, I hate RSF. Ruta del Sol I'll kick a few 60-80 and bring a cheaper line up.
