Did somebody say JUKKA VASTARANTA? Again a great ride to pull him up to P5! Great also to see Roglic and nearly-Isostar Reus up there...

Puh, big relief for me there as Costa was strong on the climb once he got going 
Froome as strong as expected here, congratz Arrinera! Also bellis and jukka putting on quite some shows here making their teams happy!
GC should be all but set before the final stage now, just gotta hold my breath.

Costa should have this, if he resisted like that to Froome's comeback in a much tougher uphill finish I don't see how he's gonna lose at least 45 seconds in the next stage.
Still congrats for the win for Danny, Arrinera really taking up stage wins everywhere, gotta hope for them Froome/Roche will deliver under the form of GC wins as well.

Bellis is going really well here, I have to say. Hope he can keep the lead of the points classification to the end, and 3rd in GC is within reach for him now - the next two stages both have perfect profiles for him to take bonus seconds in group sprints at the finish. Bibby also appears to have woken up, hope he can keep this up, but if there were no changes on the next two stages I'd be pretty happy. |

Worst race of the season so far, had some hopes when Bauer went in the break, but no  |

Decent I guess. If we can keep these GC positions I'd be fairly happy, but I'd still like a top 10.

Great report.
Costa will be taking this home, though, I believe.
Our KoM goal is very far away now  |

Pretty much what I feared, Zardini had a day off. 10th would be still great, but the contenders a very close now.
Hollenstein had his first satisfying stage, we hope it's not to late to sneak in the top50.
Good position for, but it's still not unlikely Froome (btw. nice stage win) takes the overall.
Great reporting, thanks roturn!

Wow what a way to justify a GC win here by Costa, kudos to that and I'm happy with a 2nd place, knowing it goes up from 3rd in TDU to hopefully 1st in Catalunya 
Hugo Boss really was the reason why Froome's attack wasn't succesful, so all in all a great race combined with a stage win.
Now on to the next stage with no sprinter for me

9th, 12th and 14th. And last.
Not the top result we were aiming for, but the trio all did very decently, Prevar in particular strong. Team Classification is not giving massive points, but winning something is very nice

The cherry on the cake there for me really. What a way to (hopefully) end San Luis in!
First of all - Awesome team work, makes me really happy to see that. Brought Costa in the perfect position.
Secondly - Nice timing on Costas attack. Looks like everyone was dead when he attacked.
Thirdly - Looks like due to Costas win we will get points from all competitions now, which is pretty neat.
Praying for no accidents on the last stage.

Can't say I'm not disappointed as I thought we had the podium in the bag after the TT, but I said at the start I'd be happy with a top 5, so I can't complain. Today at least he managed to hang onto fourth and finish decently (unlike the sorta useless Palini ) Fahnert in the break was cool today and I have Sobota for tomorrow, but not expecting much.
Thanks for the report once again Roturn and congrats on the win dev!

Ok another shit race for Vogt and for the team....
How is it possible that Vogt has lost 55s to McEvoy and others like it?

Okay, Visconti dropping from 12th -> 15th -> 19th -> 24th in four stages and if he loses any more time now we will leave here with minimal points, that's disappointing, but at least a great report! |

I did 
Amazing with another strong effort from him keeping the 6th place on the prologue as our worst stage so far in the race.
Really great to see Jukka hopefully defend the GC podium of a race where I really didn't have much expectations
