Hmmm, seems Afewerki could have won that if he had only joined the sprint train. Promising signs, but only if he can get it right.

Sad too see Krasnoperov lose some time in stage 11, though it was expected to happen sometime. At least he gave us some points in stage 12.
Hope we can start joining some breaks now! |

Great ride by Barguil here, congrats to Ste. Looking ahead, I think Barguil takes the lead on stage 16 as he is clearly the stronger rider. Schelling is doing a great job defending the jersey so far though, performing well above expectations. Should get a decent point haul just for sitting in the lead for about 10 days. 
Really enjoying this race, thank you roturn.

Well, maybe I've been getting greedy from success, but I honestly expected more out of Garby on a mountain TT. Significant time lost to pretty much everyone here. Makes me even more scared for the final TT which is flat. Not sure we have any chance at a good GC regardless of mountains now. Certainly Garby's TT skills shouldn't be that terrible at 68. He's not good, but also not that far below everyone else. But first get gets dropped in the TTT and now this. Maybe I should have thought twice before bringing him to a race with 4 TT's. That's on me.

Barguil is coming and get ya soon!
Schelling though really fighting impressively to keep yellow as long as possible. It may all come down to a great one-on-one battle on S20, since the remaining mountain stages may not produce such big gaps like the recent two MTFs. I may be wrong though

Krigbaum with a stage win and now another podium has to be the most unlikely point scorer in the entire race. Super weird, but awesome to see the kid getting in breaks and making it worthwhile!

Good time trial from Kiserlovski gets him a podium spot, can he hang on to it though, Pinot is coming, let’s hope so.

The breakaway with the win 
Von Hoff up there once again and in front of Granjel Cabrera and gaining a few points in the green jersey. Hopefully we can keep sprinting well and maybe take that jersey home!!
Great reporting Roturn!!

The frustrations continue 
Glad to see Hamza and Kiflay breakaway hunting. Kiflay's glory bid yesterday failing, Hamza always caught by the sprint. But better to be in them than not.
Really disappointed by Afewerki. Top recovery stat being negated by the hidden terrible positioning stat. Great job by Tewelde to step forward and take a podium though, at least!
Thanks for the reports roturn

Sprinter teams failing now. Guess the points classification will go to Barguil then.

Woo, 4th! Hopefully Croket's recuperation stat will kick in even harder on the final stage!
Awesome stage for Sancor though, I hope Ian reads it! Now it's Simon's time to shine... |

Amazing stage for Sancor, congrats to them! Disappointed to see Bertilsson get blocked out by a cracked rider on the right during the sprint. 9th is not very good this late in the race. Nice to see Eg getting in so many breaks with Wiggle!
