Lövkvist winning a group sprint? Pfff, how unrealistic.

Yes - it always seems to happen in PCM on those kind of stages. The rider at the front wins. |

As long as I get to see Pozzovivo win, that's fine  |

Apparently, you're right. I prefer not to let Tour de Suisse finish then |

Henao Montoya 
Oh well, he will probably lose time in the next hilly stage, so I'd better not to have high expectations.

Losing time on the mountain stage and wasting energy on a flat stage - perfect. |

A likely top 5, I couldn't ask any more.
EDIT: Sorry, by the delay (3 days to be specific), but congratulations SN.

6th is less than I had expected, but the competition is tough, so I guess it's acceptable |

For a first appearance in Pro-Tour races, a 4th position is very good.
Nice job there, SN. |

Well I can't be really unhappy with 9th here. Had hoped for 7th or so, but still we gained a bit on both La Gazzetta and Rabobank, eventhough I lost valuable ground on Accumalux, Wikipedia and Domina. Will be hard to secure a top 3 in these finishing races...

Rather silly to let the break get so much time.
Pereiro dropped out of the Top 20 because of that.
Still, hopefully managed to outscore my relegation rivals. |

Rankings - Dauphine/France
Individual
With 2nd in Switzerland, Andy Schleck unsurprisingly extends his lead, with Ricco, Cunego and Bennati not racing. Frank Schleck did gain 49 pts on his brother though, and passes Gesink despite the latter scoring in France. Uran climbs 1 to 8th, while Swiss champion Sella is up 13 to 9th.
By winning the Dauphine, Gadret's first real points haul pushes him up to 41st - but Dekker still outscored him by over 100 pts and is now 27th. Further up, the Dauphine helped Castano and Intxausti rise up to the top 20, 13th and 16th respectively.

Team
Two weak races for La Gazetta, they only outscored British Airways, and so their advantage is starting to drop. Domina Vacanze move to within 1000 pts, but the tems now ranked 3-5 all made good inroads into the Top 2.
600 pts for Wikipedia gives them a brief cushion in 3rd, with Lipton (684) and Accumalux (734) each climbing 2 places to complete the Top 5.
No need to worry just yet for Festina (Down 1) or Rabobank (Down 3) though, as 4th-7th are separated by just 34 pts.
Virgin remain 8th, while Philips (689) are on the move up to 9th. Just 31 pts separates 10-12 (SIC Radical/White Bear/Credit Lyonnais, with Unicef slipping 1, and Warner Brothers and B&O continuing to battle it out.
In the relegation zone, the KoM jersey of Rojas Villegas was invaluable for American Suzuki to counter the riding of Marchante and Lovkvist, but Eurosport still gained 50 pts on them as they both pull away from British Airways.
