Ah the race that will decide if Nibali still can claw his way to the top of the Individual rankings. 
3rd in the only really challenging stage so far is okay, now he has to beat Bardet in the mountain stage, which for sure won't be easy.  |

Sagan and Ciolek bringing in tons of points in Course de la Paix
I appreciate every point that does not go to Prorace. Because: 1. It adds some dollars to next seasons budget. 2. It brings us closer to the top of the rankings #Believe 
That fight between Alitalia and SAP is getting more cruel with every day

Chavenal is amazing Another stage and targeting KOM Winning in front of Barbin was cruel to Matt though
Pelluchi is great too, suddenly winning a stage for no apparent reason

Course de la Paix is a focus race for Eurosport and it is going well so far with 2 in the top 10 in stages 1 and 3 without the services of Cav, and Bardet 2nd in GC. Come on boys you can do it
Really hope the crash-fest in La Vuelta isn't catching!

Back down to Earth with that shite in Course de la Paix but Davies in a solid position in l'Avenir. I'm fairly sure his luck will run out but hopefully he gives it a go and dies trying.
Stages 10, 11 & 12 of the Vuelta are now up, featuring an ITT, a flat stage and a pretty easy hilly stage.

Spoiler Taylor, you absolute beauty! I knew he was capable of doing that, just needed to follow the right wheel and hope CarbonSports and Celesio fuck up, which they both did. Thanks Greipel. 
And then Kittel just takes his anger out on the next stage when all of his team mates have been dropped, just to prove they're actually holding him back.
Really, really enjoying this race. No idea who's going to win (although J-Rod is still the massive favourite for me) and a lot of 'smaller' teams, including us, are having great races.

Mollema disappointing again, even the podium will be hard now. Nice pace though!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

That stage 12 looks so strange. An elite group with nearly every top puncheur / climber goes free but Marcel Kittel somehow managed to sneak in as well and "surprisingly" was the strongest in a sprint. A random Tom Boonen as part of the group as well
The really close GC is really exciting. So many riders close together could make for a brilliant final week.

Pleasant surprise by Castro, he has been doing well so far but wins always illuminate him.. Purito needs to put on a show now, make prorace regret they ever got the jersey in the first place

Van den Broeck! ) Glorious!! Oh my. What a win: repaying our faith tenfold there.
Latest stage:
Then we have possibly the biggest team screw up I have seen for a long time: really Boonen and De Clerq make the front group and the red jersey loses time and the red jersey.  |

Chavenal joining another break and still leading KOM De Gendt's also steadily coming back after his bad luck with the crash, 17th and under 3 minutes out of the top 10 now.
Thanks for the updates brewers

Thanks everyone for the results.
Nice team effort by my guys so far. Having 6 riders in the Top 35 is a great achievement. Sucks about Monfort missing a split, Kittel didn't miss. Still he is in the top 10 and that was the goal.
At Avenir I'm happy about Pintzopoulos 3 top 10s in 3 stages. |

Dare I say our peace race line-up is our weakest of the season ... Well, the team eeking out some more points is just great to see for us. That stage 3, Cummings in the break and Robert, continuing his hot-run, with his 2nd 2nd place.. Mmmm makes the race that does. Can Jeannesson get a decent top 15 leading our GC fight, tis the goal for him.
The breaks getting a good run at the Vuelta, maybe down to my plea at the start of the race!
The pace is real good: so thanks a bunch, Brewers, Croatia and Shonak. Most ICL stages posted in a day ever(?): sure feels it! |

Breakaways winning in La Vuelta? Meh, wish I still had an avaiable spot when doing the planning
Btw Anton is a douche, I bet he fell again in Course de la Paix, can't wait to send him to the FA
