Awesome win by Cuming - 25 seconds behind with 3 km to go and then overtaking the others with a fantastic long sprint. Another first ever career victory, I believe.
Ruben Fernandez suffered on that tough mountain stage and dropped to 18th, but then he rode a very good TT and is now 14th. I'm watching how he compares to Edmondson (Ruben is currently a minute behind), I might want to offer Sevilla that swap again, it'd help my case if Ruben gets the better result.

Equinor keep creeping closer, albeit that's to be expected in Guardini races.
Wauch in 7th is unexpected, but it's basically just a position swap with Schnaidt who disappointed instead.

Bananito lost quite a bit of time there but not as much as Aru. GT race over within one stage?!

Not really impressed by Ollero and UrÃzar in Avenir, as several similar/weaker riders are ahead of them right now. I hope they'll climb up a bit; the team performance at least was good on that mountain stage!

Nothing too special in Avenir, but Welten doing nicely to hold onto a top-10 for now. Would be nice if he could keep it up like that, but that seems unlikely.

Suntory Vuelta Bardet Watch
| S10- | Bardet on great form putting big time into his rivals with a 3rd stage win. Solid support from the team. I was very nervous watching the descent in the rain, glad we didn't see any crashes. | | S11- | Easily Bardet's best ever TT performance, expected him to limit his losses but he extended his lead! 1st GC & Mountains, 2nd Points!! | | S12- | Bardet home safe and managed to get 3 points somehow. Congrats to Ripley, the break stopping a Ewan win and limiting his points gain. | | S13- | Bardet home safe again and another 3 points. Congrats to Ozrocker |
Bardet in top form gaining a 2 min lead and still getting good support from his team. He also has a good lead in the Mountains.
Crochet hanging on to 3rd in Young Riders.
Sevilla still firmly in the lead in the Team, Suntory now in a clear second.
Coming up three uphill finishes in a row including 230km on stage 15, not a day to have bad legs.
Super videos dominox! How many hours did you put in to editing the ITT? Great stuff.

Avenir
Awesome 1-2 for the Orangina boys on the first big mountain stage.
Stage 7 is a real brute, could all change.
Thanks for the video Shonak.

At least the BBU23 boys are getting into breaks. That's about the best result we can have.

And right on command KBC gets a TT win and at Avenir. Plus a couple of days in yellow. Again Koncz outperformed by one of his teammates. The TT was always going to be the highlight so the rest of the race is forgettable.
Very tough stage for Aru in the Vuelta but Nairo survived a pretty bad stage in the Giro.
Thanks for the reports.

I'm glad I didn't pick Course de la Paix as a focus race. It was heartbreaking to see how hard the team worked for Majka on the queen stage only for the captain to have -5 daily form. The pre-race favourite would now be lucky to even make the top 10.
Avenir wasn't any better, Fritsch couldn't prove he's a top 5 climber.

Dreadful display for our team at Cigar City and Praha. Hopefully we would be able to snatch something by the end of the year. |

Big surprise to have Engeldinger sitting 3rd in a WT stage race. let's hope he won't throw away precious seconds in the last tricky stage...

Much better set of stages for us in the Vuelta with Dombrowski moving up the GC with a 3rd place and another good stage from Van Folsach.
Good times in de la Paix...for exactly one stage!
Not the best first half of Avenir. Ilsanker looks to be out of form and Dimas has lost his mojo in the second half of the season. Reuter doing ok but we're hoping for better.

Thanks, really appreciate that! To be honest I don't edit much. I start recording at certain point of the stage and stop after some part of peloton comes to the finishing line. Then I record replay and put that one after the stage, sometimes I forget about it or replay itself isn't well produced by the game. And about ITT, I just use my keyboard to move between riders fast, especially trying to show them going past intermediate points and finishing line so at the bottom of the screen everyone can see time difference. And it takes longer to upload those files than edit 
If done correctly and nothing is stopping me, I can do whole GT in one day, including editing videos. GT itself is taking like 3-3,5h to do so you all actually see almost half of race time |

Great performance from our guys so far in Course de la Paix, with Villella sitting nicely in 4th at the moment and the decisive hily stage is obviously still to come. Caruso and Jungels also doing good, good to see.
The Vuelta is so far going alright, but not too great, we really have to hope that one of our good climbers (so not Dinicolantonio  ) joins the break on the remaining stages.

Stages 14, 15, 16 and 17 are now in for Vuelta!
Meanwhile Bardet seems to be playing with all of his rivals as he grabs 3 wins on 3 hard stages here, incredible. |

Wow Bardet on another planet with his performances, as Aru is surprisingly weak. Losing time even against weaker riders. Betancur holding on well to 4th. Would be a miracle if he makes the podium but still happy with the current performance by him and hope he holds onto it and doesnt let Yates pass him.

Bardet Beastmode!
A good sprint by Wagner is the only positive from those stages for us. Fernandez down to 17th and well and truly beaten by Edmondson.
