Argh, Rolland losing time once again. Not a good showing in Paris - Nice

2 more stages of each Tachira and Paris - Nice posted: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1134417
Especially stage 7 of Tachira was very entertaining with a lot of attacks still far away from the finish. This was the situation with 30k to go:
Rosa -43"-> Bardet, Navarro -26"-> Van den Broeck, Bakelants, Evans, Kiserlovski, Nerz -21"-> König, Barguil -46"-> Elissonde, Cataldo -31"-> Caruso, Chaves, Kennaugh -1'12"->most other favourites
Wanted to record it, but unfortunately I had to fear my computer to crash when opening another program.

Good to see Nerz getting into the top 10. Now he just has to hold on please.
Caruso really hit a wall, dropping from 1st to outside top 10.

Finally a win, took us long enough this season. Also some very strong riding by Verona but he doesn't make up GC place enough yet.

Darn it, Wellens isn't even trying..
Nice 3rd from Geronboux, awesome result for an unknown filler rider.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Thank you Nieve, almost coming into debt trying to sign you was so worth it, especially your work being 21st in Táchira.

Yeah, second place by Gougeard. First victory is coming soon...
Rolland still not up there, maybe Eze TT can get him up a bit higher?

What up with Caruso?! Multiple stage wins and then fades away: oh well - easy come - easy go!
VDB - Just brilliant. Don't want to jinx it: but if he finishes there that will be ok by me. Would like to see D2B take home the GC win so hoping there aren't any major changes to come.
Very nice to see some stage wins, at last, for Shonak and brewers. But shame on you guys for leaving Cymru Wales well adrift at the bottom of the rankings!

That feeling when you open the spoiler and see your jersey is worth joining the game alone. Especially when you're as shit as us.
If Dombro can somehow hang on to that top 5 now he's nearly killed himself, it would be huge. Maybe he should just keep attacking.

Don't worry, we'll stay with Sutty to be his friend.

Great to see Bardet on top in Tachira but he can't quite get a win.
Also happy to see old boy Dombrowski going so well.

Kreuziger is remarkably underwhelming in Paris Nice. At the moment Saeco really are not firing on all cyclinders - a couple of nice encouraging results in the midst of some pretty average stuff. Rosa showing a really nice single stage in Tachira and yes somewhat overperforming but still will struggle to hold top 10.
Kreuziger should be challenging for a podium at least in Paris Nice - very poor and disappointing.

@Smowz: sad to see Kreuziger not performing...though that makes me a little less sad about not getting him

The 9th Tachira stage was the last very challenging, where still lots could happen, so I made a video:

Ah right, it's Iranians who bring team doping into Italo then
Cataldo meanwhile still sucks balls.
