Wow .
That was just as I wanted it, except that I would have preferred a 1-2 but that would have not been fair to Strava, sorry Shonak
Well Boaro has been totally awesome, same for Rolland, but Kruopis was so much better than expected He'll hardly lose that 1st place with 2 flat stages to go, indeed he'll probably increase the lead, so congrats Eden!
I'll happily take 2nd and 4th GC if nothing stupid happens
Thanks for the report TMM

The TT went just as bad as we expected. GC is lost, now let's concentrate on stage wins! |

So I honestly don't know what was going through my head when I picked my goals....
Still a chance for a top 10 but will need someone in a very succesful breakaway. Maybe Giacoppo can focus more on getting a stage win now...

Not the best TT for us. Though Rosas is always good for a distant spot.
Congrats to Eden for having this in the bag now.
I'll go cry and hope Richeze shapens up and wins at least a stage here.

Ugh, I'm getting enough of Hochmann. He'll need to take a real low wage to make me consider resigning him. How he's performed throughout the year is absolutely horrible.

Well no sprint for us but all I wanted is that Tennant keeps his GC place and he did it. Just one more stage and then we can completed another goal.

Good job, Richeze. I knew you had it in you. Inside you there's an amazing sprinter. Even deeper down there's a lazy kid, though. But oh well, better late than never. Now to double up our money in the final stage?
Thanks for the report, TMM. |

Will second this, except for the goal part. Well actually Vauvourzeix got himself at the second place of the KoM standings which is good actually
Thanks a lot tmm.

Hung - good job
The rest - go home
Seems we shouldn't have gone here in the first place. What a waste of race days
Thank you for the report TMM |

The ITT - Meh! Rousseau is nowhere near on GC, and shows that it will be a nothing race for us
Stage 4 - disappointment continues. I had hoped the flatter stage finishes would help with Haddou but he still loses over 4 mins!
Anyway, it is a disappointing race, I can't wait to end it in Australia.
Thanks for the reports TMM - nice work

Always great to see that jersey at the front taking a win. Congratulations Ian!
Richeze by far superior to everyone else today.
Happy with 4th as it looked like Aidis was going tobstruggle to finish in the top 10 at one point. 1 more day to defend his lead! Would be nice if he could.
Thanks for the report TMM.

Sobota sprinted today Although he just seemed to disappear mid-sprint. Still 12th is an improvement of 40th.
Congrats Ian on the win and thanks TMM for the report.

Not a good race at all. Maybe we can salvage it in the final stage or just continue our losing ways...

Nice 2nd by Bole! I didn't think he could do this in a bunch sprint, but a really suprirising good result. I'd wish he will be this good in stages that really fit him.
