Very happy with how Warbasse is ending up racing, very strong time trial which was the trick up my sleeve when bringing him here, and although with Ratiy in the break putting the 2nd place in cause I didn't remember his fear of a negative gradient 
Gratz to st_john and hoyle for the wins, tomorrow's stages are gonna be a mental fight for 2nd place the way its going!

Now for a breakaway win please. Atleast not Pinot, as Kip is then losing his points Jersey...
Also it would be nice to see Tempier giving it a go in the final mountainstage. He is currently just going backwards...

I'm sorry but is this the same Pinot as last season. I honestly never expected this performance from him in this race. Another victory after a great lead out and solid ITT on a stage I was worried about.
Excited for the battle lower down on GC and hoping Potocki can hold onto white as well

I don't think we have the best chance to finish well, but at least it's better than what we had in Australia

After Ratyi's disappointing race so far. The stage win in TT and KoM-jersey made up for that.
Elissonde needs to go on full attack tomorrow. A successfull breakaway could gain him some places in GC.
Thank's for the great reports - but please check if Pinot is riding a bike or a motorcycle  |

The target by the way for this race and indeed the whole season - challenge our nearest rivals. So far we're ahead of Andorra, but not sure if we hold on

Pinot the Cannibal of Tachira, wanting every win despite his GC lead. Even getting a leadout from his lieutenant to do so!
Must be a nice day doubled for hoyle after his former rider Grmay came 2nd too!

I actually had the feeling, Ratiy is on a motobike.  |

Incredibly dominant racing from Pinot here! Will be interesting to see if he can continue this throughout the season against some stiffer competition.

Too bad that Pinot was even more of a beast than Kip, hence not getting the points jersey. Why are there an equal amount of points awarded on mountain stages than flat btw? Isn't that something that lies quite some seasons back IRL?
Tempier tried, but only fell deeper, but can't complain as I wanted him to give it a go, and he did.
The final stage could be interesting to Simon, but I think it might go to a breakaway rider, so here's me hoping that we will put one in it

Bardet continuing to out-slug the better climbers on the mountains
Pinot is out of this world though!

Hacecky is doing better than expected, but Pinot is in charge at the moment.

A bit disappointed not to see Herrada and Cunego feature at all in the mountains. And Herrada seems to have performed worse with each day that passed.
