It's not cool, tell us the secret. 
Spoiler Absolutely great screenshots, as well as the reports. I guess I am unlucky as this appeared in the same month as Trek, so I am probably going to lose the fight for New Story of the Month, but that's really not that important now. Keep up the good work, mate!

Honestly, I hope a little bit that there'll be a tie for New Story of the Month since both FDJ and Trek have an amazing quality and could have easily won in any other month. They both really, really deserve it.

Thank you all for your words..
Time to time is good to know the story is ok althought i might change the reports a little.. probably will only make reports from Pro Tour races..
*admirschleck - really appreciate what you said but i agree with Shonak... and you shouldn´t be worried about who wins, i´m sure its not me..
This is the breakaway for today..  M.Ladagnous is our rider, he´s not so strong climber but being 6th in GC, we just have to try..
The peloton, leaded by Orica and SKY, really made this stage going fast all the way... with 41kms to go, the breakaway has only 1´07"gap..
20kms... breakaway riders fought hard to stay clear but it wasn´t enought to avoid the approach from the pack..
1km before the 2nd Int. Sprint, with no one at the front, W.Bonnet attacks, maybe just for the sprint, who knows?.. at least we show our colors..
Without surprise, Bonnet was caught.. the rest of the stage went fast,  N.Roche is the 1st to reach the Flamme Rouge..
Our main man finds himself not far, he rides with this 2nd group..
N.Roche wins.. J.Roy finishes in 13th..

 N.Terpstra(OPQ), W.Bonnet,  G.Larsson(IAM) and  O.Fraile(CJR) form the early break..
1st Int.Sprint.. gap drops to 6´20"..
Clearly the strongest rider in the break, Terpstra drops his break companions and reach the final 5kms alone..
Last km for Terpstra..
N.Terpstra wins.. W.Bonnet makes 4th..
J.Roy sprints for 8th..

Terpstra in a league of his own there, but Bonnet still did good there (although he came in last of the break  ).

*Shonak- Well, Bonnet was the weakest climber there and he did lots of work in the break.. but you should see the positive side... Bonnet won the main favourites sprint..

Not a bad result for Bonnet. The race isn't too important anyway

Thanks Selwink, the_hoyle and sutty68 ..
Not important race indeed but was great to see Roy following the best climbers and stick with them.. We managed to jump into top10 wich was our main goal before the stage, now for the last one we might try to improve that..

*YvesStevens - Yep and i didn´t expected either.. , but great that i did it.
Last stage and last chance to improve our GC ranking..
Jussi can´t win kom jersey anymore but he couldn´t left the desert without giving one last fight..
Last and only kom sprint for today,  J.Veikkanen fought well for the points..
In peloton, we were trying new tactics.. E.Viennet leads M.Ladagnous into the break..
With 53kms to go, Viennet was done.. Ladagnous has to work alone now..
44kms, Ladagnous catch up with the break... Jussi will start to push hard now.. 2´37"gap to the pack..
20kms.. the other breakaway riders start to work at last..
All this work and tactic didn´t worked out.. at least for Ladagnous.. now with 5kms to go, J.Roy with  E.B.Hagen manage to get away from the peloton..
 T.Machado and  V.Isaychev are the last breakaway survivors..
Final sprint is on.. Roy gives all to catch up with Isaychev...
Isaychev thinks he has enought room behind...
T.Machado wins..

The breakaway reach the 1st kom sprint with a small gap to the pack.. F.Mourey rides between both groups..
Mourey catches up with the front.. 3´20"gap to peloton.. 12kms to the 2nd kom sprint..
Peloton is way behind and keeps loosing time...
F.Mourey wins the 2nd kom sprint.. 5´19"gap..
With the 2nd half of the stage being flat, the escapees are caught.. final sprint starts..
.. for others the nightmare is ending..
M.Matthews leads with S.Modolo behind..
2 on 2.. we do good again..

T.Gallopin(LTB) dominates the climb.. P.Fédrigo was looking strong enought to challenge for a stage win but he falls down in the last descent and had to fight back to get into the pack.. he looses time today..
T.Gallopin dances on top..
