I expected more from Dyachenko. He could at least try to follow the attacks.
Lovely reports as always though, Count!

This was an perfect example of how to do it NOT by my team, atleast Salas is driving decent...
Expecting some crazy break-aways by the FAILING trio now!!!
(Colex, Rojas and Deiber)
Luckily 4 tough mountain stages ahead.

Another great stage for us. Morton in two his races so far is proving amazing so far, great job today.
This was the stage I wanted to get yellow jersey before the race, it always gives small bonus to the rider wearing it I feel, so nice to have it before mountains with nice gap to most.
Although I am worried of tomorrow's stage, it looks good for break, but hopefully we can control it well enough.

Not great tactics from us, sending all of Camano's support on the attack leaving him isolated 
Hopefully we can salvage something from the mountain stages though |

Very surprised that Pineau wins something, to be honest. And Pellizotti didn't lose time, so I am very happy.

It's amazing really with Bintang making a good start to the race only for an absolute disaster zone of a mess of a race for them.
I'm watching for the Bouygues boys Solis and Sauza to hit out, they have had quiet races so far but come the really high mountains they could be very dangerous.

Don't know if I should be happy with Nicácio's great work to bring the groups together or if I should be mad about my team's tendency to achieve such brilliant results in sprints. I'll take 7th in GC any day of the week though.
And thanks for this report Count, wasn't expecting it that soon

Great reports and nice action in the mountains of Venezuela. Pelizzoti and Marquez equal in the thrilling battle, looking forwrd to outcome, also several rider close in the GC, so with good attack anything is possible.

At first it looked like being a bad day for Pellizotti, but then he was pulled back to the main group.
Cannot see him holding Marquez though on the tougher finishes, Rodrigues, the Bouygues boys and former Tachira winner Ochoa Quintara look lively also.
Here we go into the tougher part of the race.

Ardila missed the main move, which is very annoying, but I guess its good that he didn't just sit in the peloton. Anyway, I am going to need so big stages soon to have a chance of top 5 in the overall.

If Aru can somehow win the White Jersey, then it would be a fantastic result after a so far great race by our young Italian. I hope that my riders will manage to stay active in breakaways and still protect Aru, since he is clearly our best bet for a good GC.

I wasn't checking all race but early on I can confirm that Castano was protecting him.

Fabolous news, thanks for clarifying it mate!

Nice report, but what i feared since i started playing PCM 12 is happening. Mountain stages AI gameplay totally suck this year. 
Berard bringing five times all the attackers back like he was gaining marginal gains at Sky camp in the winter (Alakagom we know you are doing this somewhat). 
And finally group of 46 riders coming to the finish together? That sucks imo...as said many times in pcm 12:general section, this game cannot create significant time gaps on mountain stages, especially those finishing with short downhill.
