Give over Ollfardh, don't forget you took a stage win and race lead from a break. Plus you just had another top 5 finish, in a race where you might not have scored any points!
Shonak - I reckon that win was a big relief, given races of late. Must be quite a few different stage winners you have now! 
Stage 7 up.

Well, it's disappointing to drop off the podium, but as the report says, there's still the distinct possibility of a top 5 finish for Morabito. Thanks for the reporting.

Thanks for that report!
Rodas tried and did a great job. Unfortunately there was one man better. Still, Rodas keeps doing these nice breakaways. What a signing, I love him! |

Many rivalling teams doing great, so good to see Novak looking to take the GC here 
On a more neutral points Signorini has easily been the best climber in this season and that is even with his low hill! Indosat finally getting some solid points are good to see and an interesting battle for promotion they still got
Fantastic report from my neutral stand and really liked the details

Certainly wasn't expecting that. Fantastic from Signorini! Rodas came close, always seems to find the right breakaway. Indifferent with Atapuma, incredible yesterday and today barely even trying.. Only if Signorini and Nieve didn't give up and lose 10+ minutes yesterday we could have achieved a better GC result, which is the reason we're here. 6th is alright, but it should have been better. Regardless I'm overjoyed with our success here so far and am more than happy.
Congrats to Novak and team on the GC win, and good to see Gilanipoor (apologise for spelling) get onto the podium. Also odd that Anacona didn't go off on his own, he certainly looked like he could have bridged that gap.
Thanks for a terrific report, The Rider

Ah wow Girardi back in the top 30 
What an underperformer he is 
Nice to se Possoni in the break but certainly that's not enough, still I'd say that he was really much better than Girardi if we don't consider the first few stages... I just don't get how Girardi went from decent to this bad...
Hoping for something unexpected to save our race somehow, last stage looks to be something for a break anyway.
Thanks for the intense report The Rider and gratz Indosat, you definitely are carrying home quite some points out of this

Even Ebsen is climbing more than Koep. Laughing my ass off right now.

I feared the AI would do something like this against me...
Great reporting but horrendous racing. Seems like my guys are hellbent on staying together no matter what.

Oh, great tactical battle over here, and of course very well reported! Montenegro doing great work for Martinez, shame it just wasn't enough. Third place in GC and a stage win is definately a great result for the team!

Nothing stage for us, Sinkewitz in the break, but to little effect, can't complain really as I didn't really have expectations, although I'm really hoping for a stage win. 
Thanks again for the great report, the rider.

Baz moves into 30th, but now over 17'00 down! That was not expected at the start of the race.
Agree with everyone that it is fantastic reporting from rider!

I had almost given up Gilanipoor in this race, and then he does that!
Wow, we're so happy in Compal now, with no injuries tomorrow, he will bring in much needed points towards the last months of the season.
Big congrats to asian fellows Indosat and to The Rider for another quality report! |

Interesting however, Dyachenko being much better placed must have had an awful day for Gilanipoor to attack. Nearly 30km out too, glad it paid dividends!

I missed De Greef 6th, yes, thank you for that I guess I was all distracted by Senni, he really has potential so I was a bit disappointed there.
And then that moment in stage 7 when two of my guys attack, only to fade away without further notice
Anyway, last stage here, hoping we get in another breakaway!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

And that's a wrap!
Thanks everyone for the kind words of appreciation throughout the race.
Some teams leaving with well over 100 points here, alternatively unfortunately some teams are leaving with less than 10 points here, hard luck there 'Matt' and 'the_hoyle', this race just wasn't your teams' cup of tea. |

Yeah I'm speechless. And this is HC as well...
Well when I said I brought a shit team I didn't think they would even go beyond their possibilities: they were shittier than I thought, throughout all the stages. Bloody hell.
Well that's life I guess, you first win Slovenie and then you score less than 10 points in the USA. Hard luck is a perfectly fitting definition of this race. All our rivals scored directly or indirectly more than us, but I'm fine with that, it can't go worse than this, can it? :S
Last stage with 0 mentions and best placed rider ended up in 85th place. No riders in the break obviously, we only had one in stage 7... Girardi in 27th as best placed rider in GC, while it was legit to expect him in the top 10. And someone even has scored less than us *compassionately hugs Hoyle*.
Moaning off now, congrats to everyone that scored more than 10 points here, on first place to In-n-Out and Maxime, nice to see Novak demonstrating what he's worth, to Indosat, who dominated the rest of the category jerseys, and to Compal who got the last stage win out of this, along with the 2nd place.
Obviously a big thanks goes to The Rider as well, the unbiased side of me loved those reports

Shame to lose the points jersey on the final stage, but it would've been a miracle if Haga kept it. 
Overall one of the best races for us this season, along with Benelux, Pologne and Slovenie. Curious about the next rankings update as to where we stand.
Then, of course the many thanks to The Rider for the reports. And congratulations to everyone who had a great race as well, especially In-n-Out and Indosat.
