Well this race fell apart quickly. Maybe we can get some individual stage results.

Great stage by Mehr-Wenige! Cant ask for anything better than a 77 hill rider getting into the break. making it a big result for him.
Just so long as he doesnt get in the way of Uran later in the race!

Hopefully taking a break today will help Gesink in the later stages.

Nice to see my negrito leading the pack. Not so nice to see that he wasn't able to bring back the rather dangerous breakaway  |

Wow, great ride by Alex Efimkin! This race is already better for my team than I hoped at start!
Hopefully my team will now ride fully for Alex and at least will try to defend his lead, but it will be really hard, maybe even impossible.

Well ridden from Contador to be thereabouts in the finish. He never really seemed to be in trouble, and the entire team did a good effort bringing a good amount of riders into the first group.
I'm very happy with that. Hopefully Alberto will stick to the gameplan, and don't waste any unnecessary energy on attacking in these stages. He should have all the energy saved for a real powerhouse-attack on the mountainstages.
Also having Tim Dees safely over the top is nice.

Well, look at that. A 4th place and Dekker getting rid of a lot of rivals. Just what I needed ... for once. |

Well that's a little annoying. Good job by Tim Kennaugh though.

This must be one of the craziest races in the Man-Game history!
Too bad Gesink wasn't in the first group, seeing there were plenty of Jack Wolfskin riders there. :\

Didn't quite expect that stage to be that bad for my boys. |

Classy ride from Pearl Adidas. Not getting in any single break so far, not contending for any stage and still managing to get half the team caught in a split. The crap ones finished in the first group but Velits, Kangert and Samoilev manage to be in the second group. Very nice race so far.

Lots of work, drop everyone, but keep both my sprinters, who came here deliberately for this stage and still only manage 18th.
At least Arroyo gained a little time.

Nice, I like these really weird stages (when they go in my favour). A second place on a stage, and both Scarponi and Kritskiy are still up near the front. Why Scarponi and not Bibby, I'll never know, but there we go, I'm not complaining (for once)!

Lucky that at least Pedraza stayed with the front group, he will have a good chance of a top 10 with so many favorites losing time and with the help from Kohl.

Sucks that Keizer didnt make the split, he would have had a good chance of ending in the top 10 (even without any major favorite caught out.)
Then i scrolled down and saw Bacardi leading the team classification and was like wtf.
