Zeits 2nd GC 9 seconds down, he needs to attack tomorrow. And we have a win goal here. So this is very close.  
I was panicking so much that stage, thinking he wouldn't attack. 
Also Stachowiak 4th isn't bad and we're currently first in the teams classifcation.

Well, I am glad that Ebsen tried. Very frustrating to just have gone a couple of meters too late, but a 2nd place isn't bad.
Not what I wanted to see from De Maar. I know he isn't the strongest, but his attacking style usually works wonders. I hope he goes for it next stage, because 15th GC isn't great, I want a couple of more spots than that.

YES YES YES YES!!!!!! 
Barring something horrible on the final stage, Zeits is first in GC, which means win goal achieved and signing him is completely justified and worth it.
Didn't even care about the stage there, just the gap to Vastaranta and the gap to Roskopf.
Also Zeits in second in points and we are first in the teams classification.
Congrats on the stage Marcovdw, nice to see the minions win.
and thanks for the reports roturn, you are now my (completely unbiased) favourite reporter

Major drop expected, but still hurts a lot. We need to setp up in the next months and at least win something, so that we don't go down in the history book which didn't win anything this season...
Immediate response by Kinney!

Compal selling Zeits was the biggest surprise CT transfer to me as he was always going to be useful in CT, and here that is being proved. I'm glad that the race favourites did enough to shake off the breakaway gains, and win the GC fight.

Well 12th is something...
Hope for Bongo to be succesful, cause something has to make up for losing so many points to both DeLaval and Netia.
Thanks for reporting, Drujon should've been at Bongo to help Lavoine, please forgive me for my mistake

Bit of a disappointing stage. It's good to see the favourites winning, but Rabon is not looking too strong this time. Normally he should have been able to hold on to a podium. We'll need a miracle to achieve the GC podium now. Maybe we can at least win the last stage.
On a brighter note, we are gaining on the other teams in the top-6, which is nice

Apparently Compal was over budget, as Bjante approached me to sell him.
Also just realised that there will be some pretty big points gains Putting us back into the promotion fight. Especially as most the top teams (Generali, Strava, Compal, Fablock, etc.) didn't score too many points. and there are still a few more hilly races left I think? . still Tropico Amisso Bongo will hurt us. praying Sobota can get a few points there.

Langeveld still 10th, very good. Hope he stays there with the last race as well. Good points, stage win + possible 10th. Why Tennant in BOTD? Tomorrow he could really win a stage, today it would have been Kriek's day sigh.

Brilliant stage from the team. Wondeful collaboration and great to get Vastaranta to the GC podium after a bad start. Oh what could have been had he started racing on the earlier stages as well...

Not too good race for us so far in Poland. Kozontchuk had a good stage, but Dyachenko have been terrible. Sutton and Tleubayev also not impressing me here. Seems like we're not going to get many points from this race.
When it comes to Zeits, we always wanted to keep him, but had to do sell him due to getting Lowe and Bauer quite a bit cheaper than we expected, but those two have proved their value to us so far, and especially Trent. We'll see if Zeit's homesickness is going to make him move over again next season |

Absolutely dreadful 
Netia and my team currently have the same amount of points because of this race, but still got Gabon to increase the lead again
Shame for Drujon again missing out on the break
Gratz to the winner and good for a polish team to do well in this race, hope we both get to promote to PCT

Thanks for the reports. That is all.
Actually no, our best finisher was our sprinter. That needed pointing out as well.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Finally, something positive. Nice finish from Choe, although slightly disappointing he couldn't take the win. Just happy to have him in a successful break!
