A stage win on the queen stage, great I would have liked to lead the mountain classification, but Sella won't take points on the remaining stages :/ Sad for Nieve

I feel sorry for Ivan and Sutty as they've both had their top 10 GC's taken away with that crash, that's not exactly how I wanted Mat Senan to consolidate his own top 10 GC but considering Kung's crash meaning he's not top 5 every position gained for our Malaysian helps to dent that damage so I can't complain about it.
Salleh still hasn't gained us a stage win yet and with the break succeeding both the last 2 stages it has me worried that he might not get another chance to sprint for one as there doesn't appear to be enough teams interested in a sprint finish to bring it back. And I can't see us joining a break as he is a good enough sprinter that we work for him instead of sending someone up the road to make the other teams have to work instead.

Ferrero scoring even where they look as an off-race team is scary. Congrats Spilak, go for the title!

Just another stage ticking down here for us. Nobody in the breakaway meant no action for us on the stage.

Thaouta up the road again and gets himself a 2nd place! Top work from the lad.
Krieger 2nd in the bunch sprint, so again we have two guys in the top 10. No incidents for Baz, which for me makes it a great all-round day
Congrats spilak on the victory

Pity that you don't get points for being in a breakaway |

Previous was so dumb with Zemlyakov finishing last from the break and then Gavazzi somehow winning the bunch sprint.
Luckily the next stage being in the break again paid off and we finally managed to take a win. Great from Toribio. Kinda salvages some points for us this race as he also moved up to 11th in gc.

Sella is safe, nothing else to say about those stages where Elta did nothing except Ma's fall ^^

I've got to say, it is a little strange that the breaks keep winning in a race with so many sprinters and their teams, who should be interested in a sprint finish.

Konte in the break was good and nice to see the NC display! Very colourful Two in the Top 10 again so the points are ok for the stage.
Congrats to sutty on another win, but what is with all the breakaway victories! Every one since the Queen stage has been a day for the break

Come on! The one time the guy who attacks the break gets caught by them and it's us

Exactly, I blame the team leading the race for not pulling their weight
Congratulations to Sutty & Spilak for taking advantage of our worrying lack of ambition to grab stage wins, but at least our leaders are still upright.
Shame for Ivan to have the fickle finger of fate push Nieve off his bike.

Time is weird, sorry for jumping the gun Anyway again when we attack it doesn't work but Hirschlein securing fourth on GC is excellent and Gudsell going for some solo glory and grabbing a 3rd is nice. Thanks to Selwink for reporting, grats to Dave for a fantastic race and sutty too !! Also, Jams 5th in points <3

Really? Another breakaway stage! Who would have thought it!
Konte with a podium is great, and congrats yet again to sutty! This has been a big race for you.
DTB - well done to you for the GC victory and Baz picking up a Top 10 for us is great to see as well.

Razzie comes through with a top 10 with Boonen not showing, which is nice. Those breakaway wins were honestly pretty crazy though. Every single stage. There had to have been an AI bug somewhere in there.
Anyway Steensen wins the TT and Lundberg gets a GC top 10. For my B squad, that's about as much as I could hope and expect.
Great reporting by Selwink throughout!
