Very nice to see Henao taking the white jersey on this stage. 13th and 14th GC-wise for Henao and Atapuma, would be wonderful to see both of them in top 10 
Nothing to do with Pinot though. What a superb rider! Congrats! |

I gotta say that which each post on the final climb I was getting angrier and angrier
First the flat stage seemed like a joke, but Pinot was the only serious GC threat in front so I was fine with it, still a missed chance to gain lots of time on everybody else.. And in the climb I was loosing it cause it seemed like Warbasse was climbing with a flat tyre, BUT HE SPRINTED FOR 1.5Km PAST EVERYBODY WHAT!?
Not the result I was expecting but at least he didnt loose that much time, Pinot is already ignored by the team as he is too strong  But I hope he keeps everybody in sight in the following stages instead of letting them go and catching them later, at least for the sake of my heart 
Anyway congratz Sotd and hoyle, again, I'm sure the dominance will remain until the end.

Not a great stage for us but we are all still up there with 3 in the top 16. Hopefully we can have some better stages in the next 3 big days!!!

What a bad performance from Ratiy. Tomorow he has the chance for a stage win in TT. After that Elissonde will get the team-support, to get a top10 finish at least. |

Still solidly holding on to last place in the team competition, pretty sure no one can catch us there.
Hampus Anderburg remains the teams top points scorer with 1.
On another note, Pinot looks Valls scary this year in the CT. Y'all can have fun with that.

Brajkovic delivers the top 5 stage result we were hoping for in this race
Would have liked to see him put a bit more time in the other GC riders, but we're up to 5th, now we have to hold it.

Not a bad stage! Roe and Campero both doing well and Roe still in the top 10 GC! Pinot is so strong!!! We are aiming for a top 10 now and with 3 riders very close to it we could finish strong!!
Campero also looking very good with 2 more mountain stages left!

Great stage win for Oberfranken and Ratiy, and Pinot just securing that race win with a solid stage for him

Wow, an actual win for Ratiy!
Pinot looking unstoppable, but the fight for 2nd is going to be good.

Another very acceptable day for Dario Cataldo, but scary close in from 2 to 8 in GC, will be nerve-racking two days to come. Congratulations to st_jonh/Vadim Ratiy with the stage.
Thanks for the great report

Wonder if Ratiy could win a stage race with 5 mountain ITTs and then 1 mountain top finish road stage in the end? |

Argh. To have Ratiy in the break sucks! Not sure if Mat Senan will recover to again try to fight for the polka dot, but even if he doesn't, I'm happy with his race here. Had minor hopes for a Top-20 in the GC, but for a team like Mitchelton it does make sense to battle for breakaways and the KoM classification. Maybe there's a miracle tomorrow..
Pinot though.. Sick stuff.

Always nice to see Ratiy in a break. Sad he couldn't finish it off. |

Gutted Briceno couldn't hold out till the end, what a win that would've been! Still happy to see the Swisslion jersey on display
Brajkovic stays 5th with a solid ride.

Pinot, what a performance here. Enjoying watching the racing here, lots to play even if Pinot looks set as GC-winner.
