Double post, but I don't care!
Another win from Kessiakoff! That's a renewed contract, right there! Fantastic!

You can't say Le Bon isn't trying. I think it would be fair to allow one of mye riders to succeed in a breakaway now 
And congratulations to WWE, Kessiakoff has really proved himself here. |

So yeah sorry if people found that report to be of lower quality. It was one of the worst stages I've ever seen and I really had to force myself through reporting it.

Hollister seems to dominate the different rankings

At least we're still trying, but it looks like we'll run out of opportunities for that much wanted stage win.

Huge race for Hollister here. Pure domination.
Also Sicard and Kessiakoff with good performances.
High quality reports. Really enjoy reading these. |

This is shaping up to be the race of the year. At least in PCT. Great reports! Also *checks profile of the last stages* I hope Kessiakoff does something crazy and takes a podium on the next stage. The time up is not too big, but it will be hard. But a 4th place is pretty good, too.

That report was outstanding CA! That must have taken you a few hours to write up, thank you for such a great effort for what turned into a rather run away from Kiserlovski.

Glad you enjoyed it. It was about 5 hours of writing over 2 days. And I was pretty drunk for the last hour of that

And thus we reach our conclusion. Thanks to everyone who commented with your thanks throughout the race. It is much harder to be bothered to write anything if I think that I'm the only one reading it.
And of course a heart-felt congratulations to Hollister, who truly put together an incredible team for this race.

Thanks again CountArach, 2nd overall is fine. I would like to have won but as you said Hollister just dominated.
You had me really scared that the second peloton wasn't going to come back.

The reports was top notch! Good work, CA!
A litte disappointed in Greipel, to be honest. Today was his best day in the race, it seems like.
Kessiakoff was doing better than I expected, and was a nice surprise. Too bad he didn't get more out of his attempts.

Several stage wins isn't enough? 
@ Mresuperstar - I tried to keep the tension to the end
Once again, glad you enjoyed it guys.

I said I was happy, but I would have liked him to get top three in the GC, meaning that he would have gotten more time on Sicard..

Great reporting Count! Really good!
And Top 10 in a 3 week tour! Thats a feat I will be sure to tweet about 2 Stage wins as well. This race can be classified as a success, something I haven't been able to do all year
