Roby will have a sitter. That will maybe have to live out Robys anti social Ader. Hihi. Blame me, not him. Well, them, since I do what usually gets others a lot of insults from me when I do it. Ride a tour, even though I know I can only be there 3 of 5 stages.
Today:
Let Ritchie suffer, for tomorrow as well, didn't work as well as I hoped, I hoped others join, and that we have a generally harder stage. The Ritchie part was ok as it ended up anyway, but then I wanted more, a harder stage as I said. But won't kill more than one rider while others watch. Tomorrow not even that, probably. The end, Stakanov attacks at the right moment, nobody follows, Nederlof on Bagu it seems, me on Nederloof.. since I thought at that point it was him who would have had to block that km if anybody had to.. Following Bagu not the wrong choice either, same as me with Nederlof, would do the same again.
So Stakanov wins, deserved, he did a lot today, (including getting Samurai excited). Out of the GC I think: LaCroix. Samurai really should have watched the course before the second stage. His stages were today, to prepare for tomorrow, and tomorrow to try and keep the other pavé riders away. Together with Iordan obviously
Tomorrow? A classic arrival? Haven't gotten the slightest interest in a classic riders arrival. There it's 1 Baumgartner or Volubolubingdobumfalke or Garrido. What's in it for me? Place nr 8 for Qian? Thanks, but smell the fragrance of my farts and go masturbating, or something. Tomorrow the leader nr 1 is once again Iordan. Of coure Qian as a nr 2 is an option if I see, or my brillant sitter of course since I won't see anything, that the Iordan plan won't work. Then ok otherwise, no, all for Iordan. Want to drop the others but keep Iordan? Ok for me, I'll help. Then I'm for the classics arrival.. otherwise, do it yourself, siebs etc. Samurais help for a duel Iordan vs LaCroix would have been nice, but with his probably dead team... will see, don't think the chances are that great, but they are there. Especially since I'm not sure that Bagu is actually in reg, should be very close IMO. Nederlof sucks in the flat almost as much as my riders, if he's dropped, he will have difficulty coming back. Snowshill no mountain, the Walbecks we'll see. Stakanov strong and good reg, hard to beat, if somehow Iordan is in front, the others in the back.. if the front cooperates, that includes Ruhr, then it could work. Garrido the stage would be fine with me. Volobrummbrumm... too much sprint, so gets bonusseconds if the plan works, then is even further ahead of Iordan... will just have to drop the fucker the last day then.. doesn't look that good, yes, but Iordan still my best option, Olimpiu will just be too weak tomorrow, you saw it today as well, +4 he was fighting, before then being dropped.
Anyway, interesting stage today, really pissed of that I can't ride tomorrow.
Now I have to start writing my 800000000 character pns to my sitters. What to do when Mori is dropped, all that could happen at km 113 and how to react to all different scenarios. Mmh, won't sleep much today.
