Another bad day from Gilbert, and he drops one spot in GC (actually two, because one was gained because of Pellaud's crash). Cunego still surprisingly good in 13th, and Marcato with a great day closing on the GC minor scoring places
jandal, this time you can't blame it on me  It's just that Roux doesn't have what it's needed to win the Individual rankings

Gonna need some more footage, seems with the two Repsol masterminds in the background it's very likely there's an assassin just out of shot, or maybe a soigneur getting in his way taking that picture...
Hopefully later this season I can analyse all our crashes and expose Repsol for their cheating.

Well, judging by how PCM seems to work, maybe the equipment has been tampered with? |

I wish you luck with your "investigation" and i hope you do whatever it takes to uncover the truth

On this topic: Has an investigation into this possibility (it's done by equipment) been made by the showrunners in the background? Because as was mentioned in the 2018 suggestions thread, it's very worrying that some equipment could be "cursed" or more probable to crash often.

What i remember is that roturn found a table in the DB that was only generated after Stage 1 of a race which could define which teams have higher chances of having their riders crashing in each race, which fits with what we see in some races where a team sees all their riders crash or a rider crash several times in a race. And the idea of possibly changing the values of that table was out of question because of the need of editing the DB in all stage races

Thanks for another brilliant report.
Big stage for us, breakaway - a nice move up the GC, youth lead and 2nd in team.
Just have to hope things won't turn bad tomorrow.
Congratulations to maxime seems sure to take this now.

Stupid crashes again! Sad about Pellaud, didn't deserve to go out like that! Good that Roux could back up and running (fast!). Wyss moves up another place in the GC. Hope he keeps it up.

Not the very best of stages for Wyss but at least he holds on to 5th place in the GC. Now for a safe last stage. And hopefully Kreder can compete in the sprint. So no breakaway win please
Congrats on the win Vien  Although that makes it a little more worrying for me.
Thanks for the report!

Maxime does it again!!! I would say he has a bonus from his past results but that wouldn't explain Cunego sucking Thanks for the grats, Abhishek.
Overall though, not a very important race in terms of points. All last place promotion contenders have someone in the top 5, unless you count CycleYorkshire. However, I won't cheer this time before we bring it home... |

Ain't it even more important to join the scoring teams then?

True, consolidating is a goal in itself of course |

At least Cunego wasn't injured in that crash, so he could keep his 13th place in GC. Together with Gilbert's 9th place in GC, and Marcato entering the top30, this won't be a bad scoring race. But obviously almost everyone around us in the rankings is scoring really high from this race, so it's not a good race in the promotion battle...

Very pleased with this, (if no disaster on last day) especially considering that Bratashcuk lost GC options early. Don't think we could get much more here.
Thanks for another great report.

Have I said how much I love my stagiares? Well I'd just like to repeat it here!! Allegaert picked up points in Benelux. Hofstede is not one to be left behind either! 3rd place on the stage and 8th in the U25s. Makes up for no Kreder sprint!
I think I've already said how much I love Wyss
Congrats on the win maxime and thanks for the great reports tsmoha

Monfort is proving more and more that I should've joined the C2 hilly races. What an amazing performance by him this season, and he still has opportunities in Zurich and some breaks in the other races I sent him to.
Thanks for reporting once again tsmoha, and grats maxime and the other points scorers. See you in Colombia |
