Another stage where our aspirations haven't been destroyed, which is always pleasant to read. Congrats to Buff for their victory as well.

That's the way to go, Kangert!  Top 9 GC are all very close; this is going to be an interesting battle.

Nice reports Atlantius, thanks! Congrats to Buff-Polska
Karnulin did a decent job on the last hilly stage, holding in a first bigger group of GC favourites. I believe he can enter top 20 of GC later in the race and that is the goal.
Now two stages where Grosu can do something, if break wont be given a go.

Another good stage for Boily keeping himself nicely positioned he will obviously need a great stage in the mountains or to get more time to keep his place though |

Unexpected points and two top 10's don't mind if we do that
what's becoming obvious though is that this is not a sprinter friendly course for any of the flat stages so a breakaway win most be expected tomorrow as well. |

I have to give some credit to Oliver Le Gac he is trying his hardest to get into the breakaways so that he can contend for the KOM jersey and points.
Ian Boswell also made a strong move on Stage 6 to regain some time and to make a run at a stage victory.
The effort is there, but the team talent is still just a little lacking.
Keep working hard boys.

Expected to see us play it safe, and luckily we did just that. Hopefully we will be able to participate in one more breakaway, as they all look pretty good considering stage glory.
Congratulations to tastasol! Great to see Ziesler prove smartest at the end there, definitely something he can not have learned from Boasson Hagen from the year he was racing with us!  |

Bookwalter doing well to get in the break, although a shame he couldn't hold on and contest the stage. Kwiatkowski gets a nice 5th place though which helps him in the points standings. |

Nice to finally be in the break, had a very good feeling about Ziesler all the way. Since Levarlet has decided to be poor in this race, we need to get as much points as possible on the stages.
Thanks for the report, Atlantius!

Nepomnyachsniy still in good position, and with the green jersey which could well become his with the TT he's likely to get at least a podium at.

Tough luck for the sprinters teams here, but tomorrow is another good day for them. Congrats to Risa.
And thanks for the reports Atlantius

Gratz to Risa. Hope we can keep the lead another day without wasting a lot of energy. Some GC guys are already showed their muscles in the final sprint.

This race has been quite disappointing for the team but it's not something that I was not already waiting
