Pitbull just won't give up on this race. Dropping time early on to others he just digs deep, draws on that reserve power and targets the big hill to make his move.
Who the f*ck knows were this race will end up in four stages time. I'd written Andrew off for the win, hoping we could snatch 3rd. Now we're fighting for the win! And a win in the ToA would be massive for the promotion fight...
Just bring on the finale to what might be the best MG GT ever...

So is Eastman worth resigning to sell next year? Or would I just be losing money.

I mean you could resign him if disappointment is the thrill you're looking for

The sad part is now that the spotlight isn't on Eastman, the rest of the team is showing how strong they actually are. It isn't like he didn't have help coming into this race with 3 other very good climbers to assist him in the mountains, two winning the last two races.

Valls 1st AND Eyob in the top 10?!
Exceeding expectations right now, though Valls hasn't really shown the firepower for stage victories. And that's ok, as long as he keeps squeaking by.
Talansky, Yates and co are not going to make it easy the next couple of stages...

Boom outta nowhere comes the Koshenikov! Massive stage for WCC, also Azteca continues with some of those strong stage perfomances despite Eastman's misfortunes!

Wow, it's so so tight on the end of the top 10-list. May be too late for Suaza to climb up there now unfortunately. Wild breakaway win and an exciting stage to follow, thank you Marco!  |

Koshevoy may have saved WCC there!
Hoped for Manfredi to pull this trick but Riesebeek's point trickle is more than fine for me. Two reports to go, hang on Marco

...and Yates got the GC podium...
What a ride by Ockeloen here. Best result of the season. |

Puh, finally 2 riders within top 10, decent save by Suaza after a horrible start of the race. Guess it's heavy crosswind tomorrow and Suaza will loose his top 10 after all |

Rafa!!! A shame it's not in my team, but it's still freacking Grand Tour win for Repsol legend Rafa Valls omg  (Yes, i know this might totally crush any promotion hopes i had left, but Podium and Ayubowan were way more dangerous in that sense)

So Yates decided to have a -5 day at just the right moment again I see...
Really disappointed to finish 3rd here, as Valls and Talansky are riders Yates should beat 99% of the time. However I can't begrudge Booker and TMM their great results here, even if it is to our disadvantage - congratulations both!
For us, I think that barring a ridiculously good run of results in the remaining hilly classics and Yates magically finding the form that escaped him here in Morocco then our promotion hopes are likely over. Can't believe we've managed to miss out with a team this strong, but as it'll be even stronger next year without signings (78MO Ranaweera, 77HIL Turgis, 79SP Kemboi just the highlights) I can't wait to be saying the same thing this time next season |

Valls proving he can do it with Polish EPO not just the Spanish stuff. Truly beautiful, happy for him and especially Booker, well done and awesome to see a cool team and manager get such a big win!
