It's been a great race for Mercado he's just missing the correct timing!!

well no chance for Weening to get into top10 now but at least now I have 3 riders in top20, which means they will all get points if they finish there.

Well, Vasquez performance overall was above all my expectactions pre-race. He could have finished in top 3 if that break wouldn't result.
But still, with a stage win and a top 5 position, I can't complain.
And let's see what Vasquez can do in that mountain TT.

Besides crashing, Valjavec has lost around 15 min on two stages, on the rest he's been pretty close to the leaders.
But still....
I think he must be injured or something, there is no other way to explain it |

yeah it's strange.
But if got injured he should withdrew, but he didn't which means that even if he has an injure it's not a seriously one that could stop him riding at his best

After a crash, a rider withdraws, continues but has an injury that affects his performance, or is fine.
But in the case of Valjavec, the cya-logic explanation is that Vandevelde is about 30 seconds / a minute ahead of him in GC so for some reason, Valjavec drops back with Vandevelde in the mountains. |

Great reporting in the last stage SN! It really made me feel nervous about the outcome of it!
And good riding by Mercado I think he did the best he could. A podium overall and the green jersey... I think I can work with that

Great driving by Medina today, and even though his attack failed, he managed to become 12th on the stage!

15th and 16th is pretty disapointing for me.

My greatest fears answered today, not bringing a good TT to lead this race has cost me a chance at a podium, barring any disasters a Top-5 will have to do in this season opener. |

It was a better mountain stat needed, not TT. And I dont see how you can be dissapointed that Tschopp punched above his weight for 5th and a stage |

Not disappointed just, in fact pleased that we finished top 10 just was being a greedy slave driver manager always wanting more from his riders. |

After being in the breakaway in a couple of times, Aguilar won this stage eventhough my train wasn't formed. Gotta love the AI
Also, great work SN. |

Overall a satisfying tour for us 7th overall by Medina hence he had no help in the mountains, he tried his chance with a long brakeaway.
