hmm 15 sec down to 6th place, hope Eltink and Hoogerland can make it! But in other hands it´s just 6 sec up to Paulinho. Looking forward to the important last stage of this race.
Let Paulinho be!

As long as Eltink stays in top 5 we won´t touch him |

I'd be pleased enough if Bosisio can hang on to to Top 5. |

Hard fought battle for the GC, but in the end the result is the same.
Looking forward to Tre Valli Varesine now, which should come around this time.

5th for Paulinho, not bad. And KOM for Veilleux. Quite surprising.

I'll settle for 6th, though can't help feeling Bosisio was maybe capable of more on that stage. Great ride from Balloni too. |

Ringerike GP wrap
Once again the masters of the stage race Ikea produce an excellent performance with two stage wins and the overall for Taaramae - who may well be topping the individual CT rankings, though goodness only knows how many points a certain TTer scored last month. Mind you they did have Larsson and Alarcon here who rode fairly anonymously,
Petronas and UBS bought their a game riders here and finished nicely on GC also grabbing a stage win apiece with the surprise package Bogdan and that useful stage racer Carrara. No doubt if rumours of Petronas demise for next season continue any number of Italian teams will be after him.
Let us all congratulate Falcon who had a terrific goal sealing performance with Eltink and Hoogerland playing domestique. Bbox are beginning to get something out of their season Paulinho battling to a top five, Bosisio went well for Vespa but dropped in the latter two stages.
Telenor had Kessiekoff here and he gave another non performance, as did Yamaha's Evans who did not enjoy the Norwegian race at all. Highroad won the last stage though I fear will now be propping up the team rankings table.... Santander will have to live with the wasted racedays here.
Team | Points | Ratio | Ikea | 259 | 51.8 | Petronas | 162 | 32.4 | Falcon | 161 | 32.2 | UBS | 137 | 27.4 | Bbox | 94 | 18.8 | Tinkoff | 80 | 16 | Vespa | 63 | 12.6 | Telenor | 61 | 12.2 | Yamaha | 37 | 7.4 | Highroad | 23 | 4.6 | Santander | 5 | 1 |

Bah, first missed goal. 85% sure I'll miss 2 more Hopefully Vaitkus will deliver the last 2.
Next season I will select goals that fit my team rather than take goals simply becuse of the sponsors

Do I need to say that we are happy with this race?
Our first goal this season is done which was Eltink in top 5 he managed to get in the podium and we also had Hoogerland in top 10 .
Easily our best race this season!...so far...
