Humph, an off day for Ochoa Quintero. Plenty of time to make up now. Need to stay switched on over the transition stages. Time for our sprint representation to come to the fore and start picking up some placings.

Breakaway results would be great for my team on the flatter stages.

Polivoda still can't time his sprints...
At least we can see him in action at the real life WC... 
Wohler good to join the break.

Kulhavi, what a win from him! Stages like that is exactly what I bought him for!  Finally making of for some of the fiasko in San Luis.
I know he is unlikely to win the race but 1 or 2 guys top 5 would be awesome here!

Oh, yeah
After two disappointing stages finally a good one, no a brilliant one! Perfectly done by Pozdnyakov. Hopefully 2 more to come in the next stages

No attacks at all from my team is disappointing. And delio fernandez needs to do better than 17th.

I think that's the first time we've created a sprint train in the teams history. Shame we didn't have any sprinters to put in it but I didn't expect Awang to be one of the strongest here. A podium is a brilliant result m, hopefully he can so alright in the other sprint stages aswell.

This race hasn't been to good for Bonsucro since its resumption, though it was good to see we had multiple riders attack on stage 3.
Pedro Nicácio missed out big time on stage 4, if he was on a good day he would have finished at least 1'00 further up. However, he is at the place in GC where he might be allowed a little leeway and he could comfortably put over 5'00 into some of the riders above him in the GC with a good TT. |

Well if I had to choose where my sprinters placed, it for sure wouldn't be 11, 12, and 13. Hopefully tomorrow ends better for us.

Great win for Rodrigues. Makes me hope that he still has a shot at fulfilling my win goal. But for that he has to put a lot of time into Iglinksy before the time trial. |

Sinelobov is in top 20 now, closing in on top 10, so he's where we want him to be. Hopefully he can climb on the next stages, and we can get a stage victory during the race. |

Only just noticed that we are indeed racing here. 
Propably because I had so low expectations for this race that it will not matter much whether we race here or not
The team ranking says everything.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

I was hoping Lander would be the surprise bargain of this transfer season for me in the long run, but not that he delivers on level 3 already
So thanks Tastasol, I owe that to you.
For once that 'lead sprinter drops the wheel' actually was the perfect decision, exactly the bike lenght Lander needed. I was close to screaming at first 
Not to forget Markus with a great pull, certainly not expecting that yet either.
Just a shame we get two stage wins in the race category giving the least points, but it would be ridiculous to try and find anything bad about this 
Especially as a development team this is what I'm looking for to keep everyone motivated on the often enough dry road to maxing out.

Lander is now better than Petit in terms of results. Congrats cio, I'm going to go cry in a corner out of embarrassment |

It's the big picture that counts, but much appreciated
But yeah, it's pretty funny how close they are in terms of stats except for that nice hill boost
I'm following Petit closely to see what to expect and how to use Lander.

This stage should've suited Polivoda... But he can't position himself, which was also a problem last year...

When I saw the hills near the finish I thought Awang would definitely be dropped, but he surprised me by still having the energy to be in the mix. It's a shame his leadout isn't made of sprinters although with the climbers leading him out it means they are definitely staying out of trouble should there be a crash.

So, 2 flat stages that were trivial to us, 10th and 11th respectively..nothing to say at all, at least none of our team crashed or something

Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar! |

Todays best result by Compal: 105th place. Shouldn't be possible to suck that much |

As expected nothing on Stage 7, no one in the Top 20. Would be nice to see my guys getting in breakaways from my team on these flat stages. I guess we are conserving energy for the more Mountainous stages which suit my team a lot better.
