Iwasn't able to do the nation classification the last three times, and won't be for the next two either (I'm always quite busy at the end of summer). If anyone is still interested I'll still do the missing stages and continue with the rest after the weekend, otherwise I'll stop, since it's rather boring anyway.

A crash that Dan Martin wasn't in. Wow.

That was literally as boring as your regular Tour of Poland-stage. Am I correct if Krizek also went out for a solo attack at a completely flat stage there as well? Uh, the memories...
Tomorrow should be suited for a break. This stage is as hard as it gets to predict, but I am going with the likes of pre GC-riders (or at least, in their mind) like Arroyo, Pardilla, Monfort, Niemiec (who all have a decent shot at getting back in the GC if the peloton allows it), but Hesjedal, De Marchi, Yates etc. should also be eager to catch the break. Maybe we will also see Arredondo, although I doubt it. I honestly dont know what he have been doing in the summer, I expected to see him a lot more this year. Maybe some of those guys will also wait for the next couple of days, but tomorrow should almost for sure be a break as Orica wouldn't be able to control it and the GC teams will wait for the next days. Maybe guys ike Izaguirre or Herrada will be allowed, as Valverde (Or Unzue) to be represented in big breaks, or at least break which stand a chance. Kiriyenka can be mentioned here as well, he seems to really be in shape. And maybe this is the day where we finally get to see LLS? I can honestly only see him winning 2 stages where this is one of them
Edit: And if Garmin decides to go full retard and blow their team like in the Tour, Martin could also win a stage like this. At least they will have better chances than with Slagter

I agree. Garmin should go full retard tomorrow.

Full retard with a result like Martin 13th or something
The best result however was when they went full for slagter who then finished 99th |

They went full retard a couple of other times successfully too. I mean that stage which was won by Martin in last year's TdF as well as 2 times in Utah. |

.. and they get saved by Bouhanni. He probably won't win, but on the other hand, Francaise has absolutely nothing to lose. Smart move imo. |

No bonus seconds for any of the big favourites then; finishing order looked to be Navarro, Moreno, Kelderman.

Nacer Bouhanni in fifth? If that stands in the official results I'm still going to go take a cold shower to make sure I am not dreaming.
