Tour de France 2024 - morning edition
We are already excited to ride the Tour de France 2024.
Here is our lineup:
1 - Florencio Sánchez
Our leader who gave us a lot fun during the Giro. We hope he maybe trains 1-2 times before or during the Tour, otherwise it could be difficult to go for podium again or even more.
2 - Luis Arrazola
Helper. Maybe will have a chance at the Pave stage, but pretty sure he needs to stay with his leader.
3 - Luis Lacalle
Flat+Reg Helper.
4 - Tabaré Mujica
Our best classic will be an important helper.
5 - Hirving Ochoa
Feels like he needs to get the respect he deserves and be part of the tour team. Still possible that he rotates out.
6 - Edson Romo
Classic helper.
7 - Vlad Ticleanu
Flat+Reg Helper.
8 - Dumitru Tsepeneag
Second mountain rider to support Sánchez. 1-2 trainings would be good for him too.
9 - Nathan Wengungo
Classic helper
Again we give Sánchez the best support we can, 625k salary!
p.s.: still possible we switch to the afternoon edition

Team Alkworld will also be there with a similar lineup like for the Giro. Goals will depend on who else is there, but ideally it's to win everything of course.

Re: Tour de France 2024 - morning edition
Schnuggeritos wil be part of TdF (morning edition), too. We don't have a specific strategy by now but at least some options.
Option 1: Fight for green by winning stages with Canek and Pariseau and suck on the climbs with Cippola for some GC Money.
Option 2: Fight for green and polka dot
Option 3: Escape as often as possible and go on a hunt for Money on the road (no focus on points), maybe some stage wins possible.
No names will be droped today, but you can count on some of our high-reg guys. More from us later this week.

STORY OF THE DAY
Some attack attempts in the first 10 km but Alkworld rode the "Stutterer" - so no big group could get away. Then a group formed with 4 men 1 woman - 1 Furpach, 3 Schartners and 1 Schnuggi. But it was hard to get further away because Alk Vader wanted to show his power again. Up to km 108 everything just trundled along, the gap was never bigger than 3':30". The Schartners stopped riding. Then Clement (from Schnuggi) tried an attack, but couldn't get away. Then the second Undead Spriit (from Furpy) of the group woke up and rode fast. But it didn't really make sense.
So the peloton was soon closed and the fight for the bonus seconds at the last Kom began. Sawchuk 8", Selassie 5" and Asfaw 2" took them.
Then Alk-Vader started to take the air out of the rest of the peloton. Speed and attacks followed one after the other, the leading group became smaller and smaller and most of those at the front were struggling for air. Alk won the sprint of the four-men leading group (must be his 33th Tourstage win, first Tour 1977). Asfaw could take seconds again for the GC fight. So Asfaw was very very lively today.
Stage:
1. Hawthorne (Alkworld)
2. Clouds (Bright)
3. Asfaw (Narrenparty)
GC Podium:
1. Hawthorne (Alkworld)
2. Asfaw (Narrenparty)
3. Clouds (Bright)
Laterne Rouge: Gullar (Alkworld)
Leader Jerseys:
Green: Hawthorne (Alkworld)
Red: Thayer (Bright)
White: Sawchuk (Schartner Bombe)
Team: Alkworld
Most active Rider:Tveit (Bon Gamin)
Tourstage wins after 2 Stages:

WHAT WILL COME NEXT?
We'll see if it stays a galactic tour. Tomorrow it's the flat-rollers' turn.

STAGE 3:
PLAISANCE - TURIN, FLAT, 232 KM
STORY OF THE DAY
Today it was the sprint teams' turn. The whole thing started like "Internationale Friedensfahrt(DE), Wyścig Pokoju(POL), Závod Míru(CZE) also called Course de la Paix(FRA)" - Definitely a lot of dreams and energy-sleeping in the Peloton. At km 43 it almost happened - DJ Wurstfinger (Manager of the Furpachs) could no longer hold back his energy and - attac with Alcantara and Bettel. Surprising that GC favorite Zizou and semi-favorite for a mass sprint with one rider involved? Peloton fell asleep again till km 87.
Call of duty from DJ Wurstfinger again - he sent two guys more - Taylor (favo on white) and Kalpokas (a kind of "Reserve-Wango"), with a rider from Tornado hanging on to them, namely Modric (favo on white). All still drunk from yesterday, they wanted to get bonus seconds where there were none.
Then it rolled along again - until km 211 where the late attack started. 2 Furpachs, 1 Alkworld, 1 Bright and 1 Zizou again (another surprise for the sprinter teams). The sprinter teams were not able to close the gap. It will be interesting when the GC teams beg for help on the flat stages. But that was it for this stage.
A win by 1. Arrazola (Zizou), 2. Mata (Furpach), 3. Geurtbraaij (Bright) - 4. Bunuel (there to defend the green jersey) and 5. Scheving (Furpach) which initiated this attack.
Peloton with 22" behind in the end. As it looks today, sprinter teams are not able to ride for an MS. And another surprise, a win from Ochoa (Zizou) in the sprint of the peloton. Maybe a Pyrrhic victory - we will see when Zizou is in yellow and needs help in flat.

1. Hawthorne (Alkworld)
