I'm 5th at the moment, so I'm pretty satisfied with that. I was eyeballing the podium a bit, but the top teams all performed well these last few stages, so top5 is probably as high as I'll go. Still good though!
My sprint-team-on-a-budget for this Vuelta haven't really been performing according to plan, mainly because I only had two guys and one of them, Y. Martinez, hasn't really been featured in the top5/top10 as much as I'd thought. So, just like on most sprint stages during this Vuelta, my goal was to limit my losses.
I was doubtful, but it seems like I even gained a couple of positions in the GC (111th -> 106th). In the PCM.Daily-League, it was enough to catch and pass one team (barely) and get in range of the last step on the podium. It's still going to be really hard to grab that 3rd position, but at least I've given myself the chance now.
Decent stage for my team. Finally I have both Matthews and Martinez up there in - or around - the top5 in bunchsprint. This got me into the overall top100 - 88th - and in the PCM.Daily-League allowed me to barely pass Zoki and take the last podium place.
It's going to be really tough to keep him behind me though. There are no more sprint stages and apart from that his team is still really strong.

Yay Hansen brings me a stage win
130th now, that top 100 is maybe still achievable
Actually, you're in 123rd now. Not sure if something changed after your post, or if you were just looking in your team page. For some reason the positions are often reported wrong there. According to the actual table, you're in 123rd.

So, the last time trial kind of washed away, but the Velogames competition ended as expected for me. I couldn't get passed Zoki for the last podium spot, I actually lost a little more ground even. Behind, Dani Kastro did really well and basically caught me, but didn't manage to pass me, it seems. With that said, I should probably be glad for the 4th place. It's still a good result.
Congratz to our top3, consisting of Shonak, Vennike and Zoki, in that order.

108th, nearly got in to the top 100
Sorry to disappoint you, but you actually didn't finish in 108th. You must have checked before the update was done, it was late today.
Not to spoil it, but well, it seems you finished in 58th, according to the league table.
