Team LAW still have Benedikt Thoms sitting in the top 20 on the GC - but is over 10 mins behind the leader. An impossible mission now with just a TT and the final parade stage to come. Thoms will be hoping to remain inside the top 20. An achievement in itself for the first tour for the team. However, there are areas that need to be improved before the team tour again.

The minutemen would be a good one to get on. You'd have a chance in that I reckon. Definitely need a good TT to be able to compete on tours though. You can lose so much time on those stages. The guy winning the tour I was just on lost it on the final TT. He dropped about 5 mins on that single stage.
If my points fall together I may enter minuteman in a fee weeks, but I have signed up for a few races and I suspect I might pick up points which would promote me : the only time I don't want points!
Yeah, I've noticed that. There's been loads of climbing races lately with hardly any teams in them. I might just target those next year rather than end up in a 10-day tour with no chance of picking up points or victories in any stage. They're just too good on the tour. I can't even get top-10 finishes on the mountain stages! There seems little point in competing without a rider who averages at lea
Good to see you are in the top 20, shame Thoms didn't win a stage, but there's always next year. I have found though with the top teams focussing on the tour that divisional races are marginally easier... :)
