After a stupid mistake in Rundfahrt der Schlösser der Alpen that saw us lose the first spot in the GC in the last stage we have been able to redeem our season.
Que Nam Hong has won Race of the Minutemen for the 4th time. After his streak of 3 wins in editions 41-43 we were now able to prevent Geert van der Velde to equal this record right away. Unfortunately for Geert he got injured and the battle was thus less exciting ( for neutral viewers ) as it could've been but nonetheless we feel our victory is well deserved.
The most decisive stage this time around was the prologue. Quite big gaps were made between the GC contestants there and they were never resolved in the following stages. Que managed to get third in the kings stage, despite a mechanical issue, which enabled him to take the lead. In the CL TT stage he had an off day. His lead was large enough however to cling on to victory.
What's more is that Que Nam Hong is now also in the top 20 riders with biggest Palmares with 6 jerseys ( 4x RotM GC, Oryx GC + SC ) and two trophies. We are very proud to have such a rider in our team and will try to increase his silver ware in the (near) future.
We were also able to sign up our successful tour team to Juberri - Pas de la Casa and depending on the result there we will plot the course for the rest of this season and early next season. Ho Ngoc Ngoc will definitely go into rest to recharge his top form. Training will commence for certain riders and BrokenChain has decided to go to a Vietnamese only squad again so transfers will also be made.

haha, yeah next season I will apply for the 100% nations riders again. Show some proof of commitment ( and not doing much rest of the season anyway ).
Happy to read about the return to the Vietnamese only squad. :)
Yes, that too hehe. Now shared with Twente Cycling team. I did scout Dooley and he bought him off my (old) team haha.
Congrats! One win away from having the isolated 1st place in team wins at the tour.
