Barta leading a team of youngsters in the ToB, would be a great ride to stay in the top 15.
Hoping Gouault can save our Dev team season with a good showing in l'Avenir.
And yet more thanks to Brewers, Croatia and Shonak for such a fantastic pace even though with all the racing to watch I somehow missed the scouting (good job I can't be sacked  )

Happy with some good finishes in Tour of Britain but massive time gaps rule out a GC challenge  |

for some reason Swift always worked in the pack, even despite being the only rider of his team in a group of 40
Stage 7 is posted, but I can´t open the Excel for Stage 8 for some reason...if somebody is there to open it for me and send me the result ToB would be finished
a quick PM if somebody is available for the stage result and the points classification would be great --> solved

Full Tour of Britain is up now, thx to the quick help of Bikex 
Spoiler Saeco getting a very very very well deserved win right at the end...otherwise it would have been horrible, this team worked the most in the whole tour...
Horner with a good race again, not good for me to see Demare having a scoring sidekick...
Cymru Wales with weird tactics, Swift maybe the man being on the front of the peloton for most of the race
Ulissi finally shows his worth in the Continental Tour
The most amazing race I´ve reported in ICL so far

Thanks for the reports.
Very happy with that. Two stage wins, a podium for Byrne, a GC podium, the white jersey and the team classification. We're finishing the season like Leicester. 
On the other hand, very disappointed by British Gas here. Anonymous. First year my DT hasn't won a stage at ToB actually. Davies was obviously saving his legs for l'Avenir.

Thanks for the fast great reports croatia. Some nice results albeit no win. Gallopin doing well in Britain and Izagirre coming close. Unfortunately Gallopin lost some time here and there but overall a good performance by him, I hope in future he'll do some more stage racing since he should be actually quite a beast on that level.

At least Scott died trying. Disappointing to lose that much time but better than never attacking I suppose.

Røinås! Nice to see our dev team also going strong
A bit weird though, winning the flat stage then coming 13th in the mountain stage 
Thanks for the results Shonak

Stages 13, 14 & 15 of the Vuelta now up. Back in to the serious mountains now. Stage 14 in particular was absolute hell with pace being high from KM0.

Spoiler 
TVG is on fire. Couldn't believe it when he outsprinted Betancur and Rodriguez. Incredible. He's just trying to stay with Rodriguez at the moment, which is a sensible thing to do but it will be tough to do that for the whole final week.

Nice De Gendt advancing on the top ten, quite good after his crash. hopefully he can finish well to get us clear enough ahead of Alitalia
Chavenal losing KOM isn't great, but I really can't complain though after his amazingness, and he still may get it back.

Barta managed a very good 7th in the ToB. Also worth a special mention Charles Planet, in the break 2 days running, just missed out on a top 10 in a stage and top 50 in GC, a great ride from him.
But surpassing both is Pierre Gouault, a storming ride at l'Avenir winning stage 5 by over 3 mins! Chapeau.
Come on Bardet, more of the same.
Over in Spain Coppel was on his best behavior managing to ride in the break with Spilak without thumping him and getting a great 2nd place on stage 14.
These 2 are determined to be rivals with Spilak in the break the following day to come within 1 of Coppel's lead in the KOM. Play nice now

ICL all over europe, France, Spain.. of course Eastern Europe gets its spotlight, too.
https://pcmdaily.c...st_1156662
Spoiler Bardet doing well to fight against Nibali but the Italian is the shark and easily Velo d'Or material this season. Quality racing by whole of Eurosport squad tho, securing massive pts.
Very pleased with the performance by Verona who got one of his rare ocassions to shine against Wellens and Yates.. quite unusual but it's good to see him take his chances when the big captains are missing
Good racing in Spain tho. Not happy that we can't seem to distance Van Garderen, and it's also partciuarlyl striking how Bunzl has in recent races pulled one on us, over and over again, getting away with a stage win and so on.. but I cross my fingers that the last week can see Purito get finally that red jersey for good, it'd make it all worth it. At least most other favourites don't endanger us much anymore and it could be a good mano-a-mano.
