Oh and Cristobal Riquelme seems to be missing his jersey?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Delfi Cervero our only rider in the front group so hoping for a good GC from him cause he looks good at the moment.
Extremely happy with Ricardo Martinez for his 2nd place there. Great result for him and Caja!

That really was an awesome stage in general and for my team as well 
Great to have two guys in the front group and Carlos achieving his first podium in just his second race day 
Great report mvh

Phew, Hägg stays in the lead. Alright.
Great racing in Gabon once more. Movistar caused some real destruction but gutted to see Calzone merely finishing 5th, especially after such an outstanding team performance. Why he sprints for bonus seconds 10 kilometers ahead of the finish line is just one of those AI things sigh
Another very nice report mvh. Pace is great.

Fantastic pace mvh!
For all those who thought that Flecha would be signed for the cobble abilities : Look what chaos he can create when combined with further strong powerhouses like Kuznetsov and Marcato!
The GC looks much better after this stage but I'd like to see Calzone winning stages instead of uncontested intermediate sprints...
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Can somebody please explain to me once again the awesomeness that was Carlos Bonilla in that stage. I think this calls for a banana. 
Also, nice to see the bonus seconds giving a boost to 6th on GC.

Even though I'm sure I should be supporting the WT teams here for my team's benefit, it's really good to see both MTN and NetApp do well
Great reports mvh!

30 km to go
This time the intermediate sprint is contested and Boev beats Morajko to the line. The judges are mistaken though, as it was clearly Morajko that crossed the line first. They are lucky there are no pictures of this failure.
Laughed a bit at this part, but RusVelo must have been paying at least one of the officials. Corruption is not cool, race organisers

What a massacre 
Good to see John-Lee survived, but I'm a bit surprised Meintjes and Hunter lost so much time. Anyway, with GC out of sight for all but Augustyn this is an incentive to attack now, and hopefully that delivers me a stage win.
Also nice to see 5 custom riders in the top-5.

Nice to see RMM going so well here after an anonymous day one.
This gives a great chaces for a decent GC position for him so this really will be interesting to see how he goes on the other hilly stages. I fear breakaway city, but part of the joy of having WT teams here is that they can rip the thing apart and chase hard.
Nice reports mvhoogie thank you!

What is Fabrizio doing he's supposed to be a sprinter, but he was beaten by Ivan on the first stage, it seems our training camp confused him as he now seems to think Ivan is the team sprinter.
Nice to see Greg in the front group though even though he was our only guy.

Harrini is horribly unbalanced and won't even take a speed bumb that's why.
GC guys just about survived that by the skin of their teeth

I guess I'll take Verboven and Hägg both making the cut for first group. Now for Rudy to fight his way back into the GC top 10.
Great reports and some good racing as well.

Why you drop so soon Maaskant? 
Why you sprint too soon Roelandts?

Great reportzzz mvh!
Stage 1: nice to be in the breakaway. I bought Fernandez only for having some Spaniard on the team and now he is the first one to score points And he is considered a serious GC conteder now as well
Though I was a bit confused that Gang Xu finished in front of our sprinter Alinejad
Stage 2: I was so worried when the split happened, but yay, Fernandez is better than I thought - and better than Alinejad and Nocentini More domestiques for Fernandez that means...
And Fernandez was in Top20 even! Oh boy, that was a lucky transfer

Is fixed, the generic Chili jersey had the code CHI instead of the right one CHL.
