What a complete joke. Marzano crushes all of his competitors and gain around 10 seconds for it. He looks sharp though, and hopefully he can keep it up for the rest of the race as well.

PCM13 is fine guys, nothing wrong with it at all 
By my count that's 7 stages and 7 breakaways from the boys, and 8/8 for our total season. Its what i want, especially when most of my squad had high ftr stats.
Lloyd did get lucky with a cagey race behind, but you've got to still work hard for the chance. He takes team win number two, and equals our entire record for last season already. Gorka and Peter are still doing ok for GC and especially Peter looks up for the fight.
Long long way to go in the season so im really not expecting this to continue, eyes are still firmly focused on relegation. But if we can do this two or three more times that might start to change

Damn, that was a great chance for some cheap extra seconds...the gap was definitely more than 7 seconds.
Though on the other hand no selection means Heider is still well up in the GC, so from an viewpoint before this stage, I would've been fine with no time loss and the points+seconds for third place. Especially with no TT, those 8 seconds can become very valuable.
Sadly Kelderman couldn't keep up, I hope he reserves some energy for stage 10.
Let's bring on the real mountains!

Nice that our jersey was showed quite a bit here, and Feillu was at least mentioned again. Looking forward for the next stage to see if we will get a nice surprise again!

Still waiting on a selection but so far so good. Brandt is quietly picking up points in the gc and the youth rankings. Hopefully Eastman isn't dropping back for him though when he gets dropped

2 more chances for Samwel to get in a selection. Not looking great as it is so far. |

Lima not completely last!
Efimkin seems too strong to be behind Topchanyuk... The AI can't really cope with my team having 2 leaders...

Only losing 36 seconds is good, Maillet looked pretty decent in the finale as well. Now to cling on I hope and maybe Elissonde and Gadret can move up the order, although keeping the lead is priority |

Report wise i'm enjoying this race a lot, but AI wise it's getting really disappointing.
Although these mountains aren't the hardest, it still makes me wonder how stage races with only 1 mountain stage will play out. I can already see races like Oman being a complete fail for us.

9/9 and i wonder hoe long this will last! Lloyd is looking like a good signing and i hope he can keep up a strong KoM challenge now. Peter looked to be saving himself a bit so i hope for a big move tomorrow to climb towards the Top10. Gorka also hanging in there for a good GC at the moment. Loving this race so far

This is horrible. Where are the gaps? At least Samwel tried but at this rate this is going to be a near 0-pointer for us, it's ridiculous. I thought PCM13 had big gaps...
Got to pray for a massive selection on the final stage. Otherwise Samwel's season will already be a big disappointment. |

Pretty anticlimactic so far. Stages perhaps not hard enough?

Not hard enough!? Lima is really struggling to even reach the finish... 
But yeh, probably it's the stages, they might be too short of something, can't think of anything else really...

Hmm. Now I do have to jump on board with the nay-sayers. Reports were that PCM13 perhaps overdoes gaps in mountain stages. Here we had Mo 77-80 guys attacking, and being followed and caught back on more than one occasion by a bunch of more than 100 on a mountain top finish! Unexpected and odd. Even if it is helping Quintero maintain a good position for Nutresa, I have to say, boo!

PCM used to struggle with not-too-hard and maybe too short climbs.. So this may be a reason for a rather poor stage here in the latest report.

Another anonymous day... no one in the break or trying to attack, and Orozco managed to miss out on making the rather generous selection so no hopes of any points GC wise anymore

I have no idea what to make of this race either.
It was a great try by Nerz, but too early and the small time gaps in the end were big enough to not capitalize on the bonus seconds he gained with it.
On the other hand, Heider still looks great on a very satisfying GC spot so far.
The problem is just that one badly timed split in the next two stages could see Heider dropping far down and then we might be left with not even a Top 15...
Here's hoping Nerz will keep being agressive and somehow finally takes some time tomorrow, or just give me another bunch sprint and have Heider safe up there.
If it's shitty AI, at least let it be shitty AI I benefit from.

Another stage where we get a lot of coverage, and Feillu would be right up there if it weren't for that one stage. Gotta agree the AI looks to be quite horrendous, but at least I'm benefiting from it.

Nice victory from Nazaret! Hope to see more of those the rest of the season!
Let's see if the AI helps us in the last mountain stage...
