It had to hapen sometime... 
But still, Vrecer needs to start recovering and avoiding losing even more time so he climbs in the TTs. |

Anton up to 4th  Looks like a podium is realistic. Not sure if that's good enough though for 21 race days spent. 
Thanks for the speedy reports.

I don't get why my riders keep missing/not bothering with the breaks. Very frustrating, when the GC is clearly not going to give us any points.

So far, so good. Peraud did actually quite well in the mountains, if he hadn't lost time in the flat stage, he would have had a decent gap now. Still too close behind him, but a decent GC-position is possible. Just like Mre said, this may not be enough for so many race-days, so i'm hoping for Jiao or someone else to go for stage-wins now.

Your problem in those last stages was, that it was mainly Laidler attacking for the breakaway. And with those mountains he was always one of the weakest.
Eventually let him fall out of the time lmit to give others a chance? |

Pellizotti must have had a bad day today, but at least Ardila is doing well. And the team rankings will be hard to take from me, unless accidents happens, it seems. Pleased with that.
Also:"... we see some surprises here, who are quite a surprise" 
Really exciting race, and the reports are really good.

And another exciting mountain stage, With Krasnoperov, Ratiy and Stetina closing in, the battle for the bottom part of the top10 seems to be quite open. It's nice though to have Nicácio only 1 min away from the top5 with 2 ITTs on the way. On the other hand with 2 hilly stages and still 3 more MTFs it's still a tough job for him.
Congrats to Repsol, if nothing spectacular happens they should have this in the bag.
And thanks for the report roturn

Ratiy seems to ride himself into better shape, hopefully he can get a top 5/6, that would be great

Zaini purposely lost time there, so he can get into some more breakaways later on

Good from Mangel in the break and Gadret managing to hang on is always a good thing |

I probably shouldn`t say anything from now on.
Even though I always write before playing the stage. |

Lewis guess i should ask for stage-wins more often...
Nice win but horrible gap. Don't know Sousa's stats right now, but this is really bad. I can't blame my team, with Lewis in the break, for not chasing, but losing a place this way would be stupid!

It's a shame that Jirakov lost mroe time on stage 10, but at least both him and Schurter were up there in the sprint on stage 11.

This race keeps surprising at every turn. I guess it was good for us there were no gaps between the favourites. Hope for the same tomorrow. Actually, can we bypass tomorrow? I really need some TT kilometres. At least don't let another Sousa into the top10, please.
Congrats tsmoha, a very welcome victory I reckon. Good to see Oliveira trying as well, he really enjoys GTs.
