BOYCOTT!!!!!!

[olmania]

I will ride here, with my 4 classic riders ! 430K

See you tomorrow !

[team fl]

First tour for FL for ages! BUT: no chance, nothing to lose

The line-up:

The old Flandern-hero Jens Scholz will be left at home in case of a late retirement request and the problem of losing to many points when losing him. Therefore, (embarassing) leader is:

No 1: Nico Goop, the Liechtenstein "I-am-only-good-in-downhill-and-therefore-am-an-embarassing-leader-but-there-is-no-better"

Alle the following riders are of course numbered alphabetically but presented according to their "job". Thus, Goop's helpers and co-leaders are:

No 4: Mavolio Bent, the British "somehow-classic-not-have-won-anything-yet-but-already-quiet-old-though-still-fit-for-the-pave-tour"
No 8: Tony Longo, the Italian "I-am-still-young-but-training-does-not-interest-me-much-because-I-am-a-lazy-Italian"

And in their shadow, Team FL proudly presents the upcoming stars (or maybe not):

No 7: Pedro Garrido, the Spanish "No-quiero-nada-que-passa-pero-quiro-postres-con-mucho-gusto-pura-vida"
No 2: Chuck Bass, the US-American "I-like-Tony-Longo-and-thus-I-train-like-him-but-flat-instead-of-mountain-...-do-you-know-gossip-girl?"

Last but not least the very crap of Team FL, the helpers, the riders who are not able to win but don't try it except superstar..

... No 5: Hannes Büchel! *nowordsneeded*

No 3: Ronny Beck, the Liechtenstein "Who-is-Sven-Becker-ah-the-guy-that-was-6-skill-points-better-than-me-in-flat"
No 6: Daniel Clavadetscher, the Swiss "I-am-better-than-Andrea-oh-wait-is-he-standing-behind-me-shit-...-ouch!"
No 9: Haruki Murakami, the Japanese "Who-the-hell-is-Franz-Kafka-and-is-this-only-happening-in-my-mind-or-is-this-real?"


Team FL has no goals whatsoever but not beeing kicked out of the tour. Everything else is a success. Salary is unimportant, we are from Liechtenstein.

[Lizard]

Yes! Excited to ride with FL here, now only the mathematician might miss (he said tours up to max. 3 days, so join!!!). Also interested if there will be a field split in the registration.

[team fl]

there was a split. So, the Team FL's favorites for the overall victory:

***** Wolong Rang (pirati), Alfred Klug (RSC NIlkheim)
**** Manuel Clausen, Kato Wolfsong (both Wizard Cycling)
*** Arturo Vencho, Benoit Chelis (both OLcycle)
** any classic between 70 and 75 mountain skill
* a succesful puncheur

Team FL's main favorites Stage 1:

***** Manuel Clausen (Wizard Cycling), Benoit Chellis (OLcycle
**** Pierre Emonin (AlixTeamFm),
*** Lou Bois (RadiosBanko), Gregor Kruse (Team PDM)
** any classic rider
* a succesful puncheur

[Lizard]

Dito. The 80-70s should be able to handle this in overall.

[team fl]

What a stage. Very nice. escape, solo, suprise attack, inattentive favorties and a thrilling finish.

Well, we have a new situation now for the overall favorites (according to Team FL), with the Davide-Duo in front:

***** Davide Rebelin (garra rufa)
**** Davide Pasolini (Team Siga)
*** Wolong Rang (pirati), Alfred Klug (RSC NIlkheim)
** Manuel Clausen, Kato Wolfsong (both Wizard Cycling),
* Sascha Ruland (Team Siga), Arturo Vencho (OLcycle)

Team FL's main favorites Stage 2:

***** Wolong Rang (pirati)
**** Alfred Klug (RSC NIlkheim)
*** Manuel Clausen, Kato Wolfsong (both Wizard Cycling), Arturo Vencho (OLcycle)
** any classic between 65 and 75 mountain skill
* a succesful puncheur

1-
OLcycle: It's nopik here, but I cannot be hold responsible for any mistakes

2-
I think I should not have left vencho in the best group, since he was the only one with downhill (but I didnt notice that earlier )
Without him, it took me too long to come back, only 2 flat kms left...
And then the double attack, people were all hanging on lafleche who was making tempo. Understandable. But it killed my chances with zelambo Better to go alone, with around 20-30 secs before the downhill, dunno if zelambo could have made it.
Final sprint, bah dunno what happened, could have been better but no mistake here.

3-
Don't forget the first point.

[Lizard]

I would put Wolfsong more down on favourites, he lost 56 sec today. And Vencho is in good shape! That shows the sieb. Has everything from downhill to uphill, I think he can be a competitor. No work by me in the last days. : )

[team fl]

Ok, it seems it was a stage for Vencho, Clausen, etc. And because nobody wanted to do much but still got to close to the group in front, PDM took the chance and attacked in the right moment. Very well done and now he's leader of GC and won the stage. And again everything is different:

***** Davide Rebelin (garra rufa), Matthias Simmen
**** Davide Pasolini (Team Siga)
*** Jörg Kulas
** Manuel Clausen, Kato Wolfsong (both Wizard Cycling), Arthuro Vencho, Alfred Klug (RSC NIlkheim), Wolong Rang (pirati)
* anybody else?

Team FL's main favorites Stage 3:

***** Arthuro Vencho
**** Manuel Clausen
*** Alfred Klug, Wolong Rang
** any classic between 65 and 75 mountain skill
* a succesful puncheur

For Team FL it went well so far, but not very well. The riders are hesitating too much instead of attacking like PDM. So far, no early group had a chance, perhaps tomorrow. But I think teams like OL or Wizard still want their stage win.

One funny thing besides that. Team FL got -2 for not beeing active in a group with a 70 mountain, a 69 mountain and a 62 mountain rider... with ronny beck (mountainskill 53) in there! made my day

[Lizard]

I´m really pissed. I could not come to ride the stage because of the seminar paper I have to do. So I´m very lucky that no one of my guys fell out of the GC (in fact fighting was off all the time...). Tomorrow again participation!
