Cataford has been great till that last stage and I still feel he can be of help to Lescuiner and Matte did a bit better that stage, hope to see Duchesne near the front at some point maybe as well. |

Nice to see Boros hold on to 4th in the Siam jersey. |

Great performance by our German guys. We've already invited Michel Koch to post season talks, though it'll be exciting to see if he can keep the pace of the best in the mountains.

Really poor race from these youngsters wearing the SRB shirts they are a disgrace to the name.
We demand that they wear a new shirt with a mouse instead of the bull.
Always can now hope for a spawny breakaway appearence - actually screw that just ride around in the autobus all day - losers.

That was a very disappointing day for the team; not only did we fail to get in the break again but no-one finished inside the main group. Didn't expect Chamorro to be almost 9 minutes behind before the mountains start!

Soooo... Next report will be up soon.
Let's guess wether a break will take this stage or not

It looks like such a obvious break win I'll say that the favourites battle it out
Edit: Mehh obvious it is then

Wow, good stuff by Lemus Davila! A podium is good, showing great progress. |

That's two stages of good representation in the break. Hopefully Seibeb can continue his form and take the KOM lead. Meanwhile Meintjes has moved up into 10th with the big stages to come. Looking good
Also nice to see last year's team member, Luis Lemus doing well!

Another good ride from LPU, mostly thanks to our guest riders, I really wish my guys could be a bit more supportive for them in the mountains
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Cool to see Blikra active and up there for Swedbank-PEAB/Team Live Nation. Must say I had a little hope Dyrnes would try his luck with a similar attack, but it wasn't meant to be. Not nice to see him go down at the end, though. Just hope he's okay to fight on for the KoM jersey. Feel sorry for niconico and knockout with a rider from both teams forced to quit.
Hopefully Dyrnes isn't injured, if he's not, those seven minutes extra gap to the leaders could prove handy thinking of future mountain points.
Fingers crossed for a proper sprint stage next! |

Again I feel lucky that Lecuisinier and Vasyliv stays out of trouble. That is the most important thing this far...
It sucks to see Magnus Cort go out of the race like that.

Great win by Petr Vakoc! It is hopefully only his first of many future wins in his career. He already gives me some big decisions for the future - it will be hard to think out how I should train Sagan and Vakoc to bring my team the best chances for the best results. But for now it is great to seeing him do well.

Thanks for the report.

Very nice to see Blikra showing the jersey. Though it feels a bit weird that we supply the jersey and Swedbank supply the best riders

It's such a strange tour.. Too many crashes or injuries..
Shikai crashed... Nielsen gone.. Reis suffering.. Now Yates looking injured, too... Barguil going down, but at least looking fine.. Haig crashed, too.. Did i forget anyone?
Anyway, gratz, Roman! A thrilling finish this was.

What a talented bunch of riders this is, riding in the Simply Red Bull colours doing us proud. We hope the master team can take inspiration from the rides of young Edmondson willed on by his fellows from the bunch.
I am so proud on the riders riding in SRB colours!

A bit of a waste of a mountain stage, unfortunately. Need the other two to be explosive now.

*sigh* This race so far is a nice microcosm of our season. Decent start, flashes of something good, then sliding to the depths of nothingness (yes i am getting less positive about my team)
