@trek , didnt know that, but sounds good in my ears 
Close stage win by Guardini, but most important was that the main competition didnt score many points for the points jersey. Couldn't stop laughing when seeing Guardini in that Fablok jersey

Very nice result for Pelucchi! Keeping him away from the big races and using him where he can score is really paying off! Nice try by Moscon as well.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Its nice to sneak Aregger with 78 sprint 77 acc into a race with a sprint field that allows him to take part at the end! This might be the inly chance for him to sprint this year as far as i know so ill take whatever i can get.
Great report once again, strong sprint by Guardini as well.

Well, nearly won in another race, and nearly won here. Looks like our luck may be turning. Great job from Hayakawa to get 2nd, would have loved to get the win though!

Euskaltels work in the sprints in these two latest stages work out well with a win! Congrats! |

Why did I say anything  Clearly jinxed it there, with Hayakawa crashing.

After all the hard work on stage 2 and 3 and a very disappointing result on stage 2, I am very happy to get the stage win there with Bouhanni. Fernandez proving to be a better lead out than Mollema and despite some average work from Anton Martin, great to see Bouhanni powering his way to victory.

Nielsen tried, but stil 0 on the breaks for us. Otherwise Domagalski crashing and finishing near the back of the pack is ominous for our top 30 chances but we get the double on lanterne rouges. 
Thanks again tsmoha for another great report and congrats LLS on the stage!

Okay did our job to escape the two flat stages here without any losses of time in the GC. Now we need a good day from our climbers to pull ourselves up in these rankings!

I need to complain more often it seems, Manarelli with his first points of the season

Well, you can't always get a good stage. Pelucchi had some problems from the falll I guess. Let's see if we can get in the breakaway tomorrow!

This is much better, it was not the victory we were looking for but at least it was something very close..
Now let's see if our leaders will be able to fight for something better.

Thanks for the report!

Congratulation with the stage win to Bushwackers (a great start for Amador), sgdanny and LLS.
The race will change now, that will be interesting

Amador just simply being the best here. If he'll continue like this, then I'm really looking forward to the Amador vs Boasson Hagen battle for the individual crown!
Fantastic stage for Berg as well, really showing their great depth. Congrats to both!

Finally a break! Stachowiak as a puncheur obviously at a disadvantage given the other three can climb well so not surprised to see him dropped. I'm happy with that.
Domagalski being injured is a shame but Padun actually had a really nice stage and if he can just hold onto that top 50 we might get points from this.
Also, repeating the 1-2 in the stage lanterne rouge is an achievement. Reasonably sure Veyhe and Neilsen are injured as well.
Congrats on Amador taking the (expected) win, Nazaret and Shikai had surprisingly good stages as well. Thanks tsmoha!

What kind of tea were Nazaret and Roglic drinking before this stage? That was ridiculous! Amador the best, but that's obvious. Kind of disappointed settling for 5th after another very good overall team effort, Intxausti needs to pick it up going into the final mountain stage because we can't TT for shit.
Thanks for the report!

Looking at how points are doled out in HC races, just going to say Kentasauras' decision to send a team with such quality depth was a brilliant call. Expecting to see Azteca shoot right up the CT rankings after this! Well done

Good try by Moscon, he couldn't have done more here. Amador showing dominance, not entirely unexpected of course
