Congratulations, TMM! Nice to see Ewan get the win.
A good stage for us. Cool to see us put two riders up the road, and great that Kaislavuo was able to match Bystrom regarding the KoM points. Guess the final day should decide the KoM jersey winner. Having Kaislavuo as joint leader and Yzeiraj in joint third is definitely promising  |

Damn. AKA looked to be on a perfect wheel. He recognized the Minons train was too early and hopped over to Manninen. Then in the next screen Manninen has a gap on him and their both in the wind. Either he backed out of the wheel or just couldn't match the acceleration, which would be fair. Course, he still ended up better off than Manninen, so can't complain there.
Close to a much better result if he didn't run out of steam, but 8th is better than yesterday and at least gets him a small time bonus for minor GC. Hopefully we can keep plugging away tomorrow and do enough for a GC top 10 in the end.
Congrats to TMM! Nice to see the favorite winning for once.

…what in the fuck was that
Howard has had a single top-10 stage result from 9 stages this season. What the fuck.

First stage was great, next one not so great. Even so, two stages in the top 10 means we're 6th atm, hopefully we dont have an off day that lets us down. But its great to see Cullaigh is always sprinting right now.

Guerao tried.. and failed. No surprise, with his lack of supporting stats he can hardly match with so many top sprinters. Hopefully he will grab some points in races with less stacked sprinters field.
Congrats TMM and thanks for the report.

Didn’t look too promising for us given Jakobsen’s positioning but he has finished very strongly and 2nd for him there is a massive result!! He’s shown good consistency so far despite the lottery and moves to 5th in the GC. Hopefully he can continue to perform well here

Congrats TMM and thanks for the report roturn.

Not good from TVA so far. Hope he can do something in the other two stages.
Thanks for the reports

As expected the Yellow Jersey hurt Ewan a lot. But crucially he's within striking distance of the GC lead & now free from that golden curse we can hope for a good finishing result on the final stage. I've said throughout this race this was hopefully what would happen, because sprint AI is more broken than ever.
But a huge congrats to Lierse for getting Bonifazio over the line in first place!

Saber with another good result in 7th place. Unfortunately with the riders that finished ahead of him he doesn't gain any GC places, so he will most likely need another result like that on the final stage to keep in the top 10.
Congrats Ollfardh, looks like Bonifazio has found his form now

Poor from Jakobsen who lost contact to the winning train of riders in front of him. However, still 7th going into the final stage and knowing a good result could mean a push into the Top 5!

15th, 17th and 39th so far. I thought Manninen was supposed to be a cheat code? 
Congratulations to Lierse! And thanks for another report roturn

Thanks for the congratulations, now let's see how we deal with the yellow jersey curse.

Well, that was a weird one  Still 6th overall for Silvestre, hopefully he does well tomorrow and moves up a few spots, then we can leave happy.

Nothing day for us. AKA behind one of those random mid-sprint splits and that is what it is. Going to need to bring his best performance so far on stage 4 for us to get anything out of this race.

Finally a Kraftwerk train with Willwhol and our train delivered all 3 podium positions, shame a Kraftwerk rider wasn't one of them
Still 4th is pretty good for Zabel, might make a top 10 GC.
A weird split for the top 8 or 9 with 500m to go.
Congrats to Ollfardh and thanks for another great report roturn.

2nd place Is awesome, if Guerao can somehow manage to keep himself in Top10 GC, this tour will be considered as huge success.
Weird result with rouleur winning mass sprint  congrats Ollfardh!
