Where has Cortes kept this form all season, incredible, when I read the start of the TT I thought that's it the race lead has gone, good season for us so far
Fantastic reporting and love the two stages a day reporting from our brilliant reporters, I would like to congratulate everyone for keeping the intensity of the MG so high

Wait, what?
I mean, definitely a good result by Barton, Milan and Martinez, but how on earth couldn't he take the GC? Last stage will be near impossible to take over the jersey. I hope Barton will go in the break to take the mountains jersey by himself.

Very nice to see the men in lime comming back from the earlier disappointment with this 1-2. The previous stage still hurts as so much would have been possible but it's at least a little "redemption"
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

This goal is going to come down to the wire...

A few seconds lead, slightly hilly stage, I would like to think this is over but a part of me reminds me that this is PCM and anything can still happen.

Schurter put in a good performance there, hopefully he can keep hold of his GC top 5 on the final stage so that we can keep our form and scoring up.

Final stage now up! Would we get any changes on that slightly bumpy stage? Go and have a look. |

Nice try by Senni here, thanks for the reports!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Damn, that's why I brought you here Bole, fantastic victory! Don't know how to feel about this race now. A lot of great moments and personal pleasure by the stage results, but counting everything together we loose a ot of points to other teams while bringing our A-Team.
Great closeout after everything was lost, so I'm happy all in all! Great job Grega, showing that he is a CT leader if placed in the right race at the right time.

8th and 9th on GC again proves our depth and the KOM jersey is a nice addition aswell. I didn't expect Zoidl to be allowed to get away as I thought he'd be too strong to let go so I'm surprised he got it but it's a nice way for him to make up for being dropped on stage 4 and his subsequent time loss there.

Going into the final stage I would've accepted 2nd and 5th as a great result. Now 4th and 7th feels really sour. Also Barton not going into the break was frustrating, but Weiss shows signs of last years attacking form. Also, we won the team classification, which is the first time ever iirc.
Anyway, after drinking away my tears, thanks The Rider for the fantastic reports. Congrats to Ticos Air on the GC victory and Sauber on snatching the KoM on the final day.

Stage 6 is currently under investigation because of the very visible presence of narrow roads that highly affected the results in both the stage and the general classification.
Sorry for those who already read this and commented even, but it's highly likely that there will be a re-run.

Shame, but understandable.
Understandable because narrow roads are just the worst and will always result in a re-run. Shame because i have a strong feeling Yates won't do as well in a re-run and will lose a GC Podium as a result

Well not only did we complete our goal, we got a top 5! Also nice for Bole to take another stage for Isostar

Well, it can only be better for the Minions, even though I completely understand the frustration from the other teams and parties involved...

Damn that's a bugger, must admit didn't notice it myself. Don't really see what all the hubbah is about personally, awhile since the race was played, and looking at the screens the only place where it looks 'narrow-ish' is before the final climb summit w/25 KM to go.
Ofcourse La Poste break away just then, I thought that was just down to good teamwork. If I remember well, Martinez was dropped after that anyway.
--
I won't be able to re-do final stage, however, if you must re-do the stage I have attached the db from after stage 5.
Roturn has the ranking points file - so you will just need to erase the points from stage 6 and the final.
