Stage 15   »   Palma del Río  ›  Córdoba

Lücs prediction was correct. There was a break involving Van Aert (CHX/CJO). None of the pure sprinters were able to get involved, while Van Aert beat those who did at the line.

The result is a low scoring stage for everyone except Cyclohexane and Naziun Cjovani who win the stage and chop off nearly 300 points from the gap with BdC (who according to anonymous sources are starting to get very nervous).

That's an impressive list! You've been to so many interesting places. Greece would definitely be a great one to add.

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on Yesterday at 09:28:12 PMWhile I hesitate to help derail this thread too far, as Provost, if the good people of Cezembre are considering a new flag design, they could also consider something inspired by the departement of Ille-et-Vilaine or the flag or arms of Saint-Malo.

For an example, see the attached; otherwise I'll wait until this topic has a dedicated thread before doing too much more brainstorming.

thanks estimat Provost, here is the thread

Azul friends, as discussions about the flag of Cézembre are resuming, I revive this thread

Quote from: Tierçéu Rôibeardescù on Yesterday at 12:18:14 PMjust double checking, as i didnt put myself down on the database vote, I know as a civil servent i cant run for MC but is this the same for regional assemblies?

You can totally run for MC! The only civil servant who can't hold seats in the Ziu is the Secretary of State.

Stage 14  »  Jaén  ›  Sierra de la Pandera

A day for the breakaway - 45 riders from all teams (except GHS) rode far in front of the peloton with Vermaerke (MMM) going solo midway through. Alas it was not to be. After multiple attacks from different riders, it was Marco Brenner (CHX/MAN/REX/VFL) who finally unlocked himself and got the stagewin. Rodriguez (DED/REX/VFL) got 3rd ahead of several other TCAT riders: Paret-Peintre (CHX, 5th), Zana (CFA, 8th), Calzoni (BDC, 9th), a much anticipated Almeida (CFA/CJO/MMM/REX, 10th) and Martin (CFA, 11th).

Among the GC favourites, Gall overtook Roglic for second by gaining 17" on him, alongside Mas, while Carapaz paid a further 6" more, showing he doesn't seem to have the strength to get to the GC podium. Even worse news for Onley, who dropped much earlier and seems also to have to settle for a place outside the podium, and Kuss, who lost two places in GC and is now a lowly 10th. Conversely, Rodriguez's third place 4 whole minutes before Mas gained him two places and a spot in the top 10.

The stagewin goes to REX with Brenner, Rodriguez and Almeida; this is their 11th win this season, tying GHS. High scores for VFL (also with Brenner and Rodriguez) and CHX (Brenner and Paret-Peintre), the latter rising to fourth with only a small gap to 3rd.

Luckily no TCAT riders among the five who abandoned the competition yesterday. It seems like attrition due to illness and/or heat and/or crashes is getting pretty significant.

Today's stage will be considerably shorter than planned as a result of the heat. It will likely be an affair for punchy sprinters, with Van Aert surely a primary contender.
