I had a good first week with my sprinters ... but my climbers ... well, they kinda sucked it up a bit. Hopefully, the team kicks it up a notch for week 2 and 3
It's a big league this year (54 teams at last count) - hard to move up in the ranks.
The Mountains have been good to me - I was flirting with disaster, now I'm clawing my way up mid-pack (currently 30th) - hoping for a top-twenty placing.
If you don't have Froome and Sagan - you're gonna be pack filler like me.
Finally Gadret does something to get some air-time. My worst buy this year.
(well prob not worst - Shoulda gone for Froome instead of Conti and Sagan instead of Cav!)
Da Costa wins another stage! That should help a bit.
My team decided to stop riding in the 3rd week ... I was never out of the top 10 for the first two weeks, most of the time fighting in the top 5.
Then week 3 hit, team BMC packed it in, Pinot never showed up and my team took a dump!
Such is life I guess ... On to the Vuelta.
