Lovely, Lovely.
This season shall never end.
Great to see Dupont with a good result as well. It would be great if he could keep the GC position!
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

No time lost. I'll take it. Hopefully Hochmann bothers to sprint now.

I don't know why people think that's a weird result. Cobbles need to be happening consistently over a really long period of time for that to have an effect, otherwise everyone hits them completely fresh, particularly on the first stage.
Lavoine to take the next two stages.

Not a bad stage, but it's missing something 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Chavanne did well to get in the break and gain some bonus seconds for us, hopefully he can continue repeating the trick.
And I didn't doubt that it wouldn't be a selective cobbled stage as there just weren't enough of them to make a difference, I remember it was the same in previous PCM's where I saw Romain Feillu do well in a flat stage with a small amount of cobbles near the end whilst playing the Belgium Tour on I think PCM12.

Good scoring but too little points in those C2 stages though (Good on evonik for stage win). Hoping that we can keep this up, strong team performance.

I just can't imagine a 18 kilometers long cobbled sector rated 5 star (hardest) not having a effect. Period. The only thing was the sprinters going well over them having an advantage, but irl that would never ever happen.

Great going by big bulga to get into the break. Not a bad breakaway to get into as well, Hung one of the flukiest breakaway riders this MG season with two jerseys from breaks from my memory. But, never likely to hold on on that stage.
Nice season ender for BBL there as Corioni really looks in great form here, my favourite for a final stage win with some cobbles early on which might fox the AI. |

Rasmussen is one weird rider in the MG.
He is just not really performing according to his stats. His palmares at least is far more impressive than the stats would normally show. |

It's good to see Flaksis out of reach of the bonus seconds.
I really enjoy seeing Dupont doing so well.

BOOYAH! Absolutely unexpected, and absolutely fantastic. Razzie knows exactly who to follow, he's just got a knack for it, and he puts it away. Fantastic ride. Top 5 in the GC too!
But what I am excited about is Christian fricking Ranneries. YEAH! Get a load of that everyone! Top 5! 2 stages down, a stage win, a top 5 and a 6th place for the team. Plus 3 in top 10 GC. Hell yeah!

Forgot to report on Stage 1 here - only did it on the skype group 
'And... Faso becomes a nothing race for me now! Another no show for sodexo' that was my reaction to lack of effect the cobble section had on the peleton!
Stage 2 - Blot out in the break to gain a few point seconds, but bunch sprint was the predictable outcome - surprised at the lack of Lavoine's presence at the end.
Nice wins knockout and BBL and thanks for the reports FroomeDog

I was just thinking the same thing. Realistically he should win basically nothing but he just seems to keep coming u with stuff. Riding at this level is certainly very helpful for him (as it is for guys like Thorsen).

Dupont is hardly doing anything all season and now he suddenly may make me CT king. Great scoring. Please keep it up on last stage so we get the GC points. L

1 stage and a classic to go, 1 stage and a classic to go, 1 stage and a classic to go.
Sorry just trying to find something positive about my season 
good report again FD, and nice to see Strava scoring well again to keep their CT title push alive.

Ratto with his first sprint of the season... Nice work 
I'm devastated to find out that my best rider in a race we aimed to win or at least podium - to say the very very least - is Thomas Vauvourzeix because of a nice breakaway. He's 13th. Moser didn't even sprint... Boy I'll just stop, my team is a total failure at times.
Congrats BBL, thanks for the great reports FD.

This race has been a success for us without us being here. our Main rivals. (in-N-Our) scored little and our it would be pretty cool rival (Generalli) scored a few but not too much.
Now it just comes down to Ruta America del sur and Zuri Metzgete...
Thanks for the reports Froomedog and congrats Ste and Knockout
