Due to ANFreeman`s computer problems I will start this race again.
But first I will try to edit to have the first two stages the same as it was in ANFreeman`s reports. If I am not able to do this I will start from 1st stage.
I hope it`s fine for everybody in especially for you Rin as you won the 2nd stage.
For me it`s okay although I had a good start, but it`s the easiest way to have progess here as it`s not known when ANFreeman is able to be online again.

Good news here.
I used the last 4 hours to edit a new Deutschland Tour race.
I will continue with the 3rd stage as I was able to recreate the first two stage results with the editor.
So expect stage 3 coming up later today probably. |

Well, this didn`t worked well...
Had hoped for Boom keeping the lead. Now with quite a gap it will be hard for me to reach a good overall, which was a must before. |

Heh - the breakaway random generator is here! Should be some crazy tactics on stage 4, god knows how Duarte will play it!
Even so could be good for Venchi to snatch the race lead here.
Ratiy dropped - oh dear VolksWagen's distant hopes of Protour surely disappearing.

This obviously happens if he has no helpers left in the final and needs to get water by himself and inespecially bad if he tries this on a climb just before a split... |

Can`t say I am happy with the result. Again a breakaway and Boom/Ruijgh are falling further down. At least I had Koep in the breakaway now climbing to 16th overall but I would have preferred Boom still leading the race... :-/ |

Vespa on the front doing the chasing. I suppose we must be defending 5th. Very realistic....I think. |

This looks to come down to a very interesting final stage. And nice to see the race back on track. Well done, roturn. |

Just checked the results. Nicely done, Wegmann. 
Now a good queen stage and the race could still become a success.

Had no time at the weekend to report as I had visit here. I am too tired now so expect last stage being up definitely tomorrow. |

Here the final stage of a pretty chaotic race actually. Sorry for the few screenshots on the last climb. The climb went quicker than I had expected and there was almost no attacks or so and somehow I thought I would have had at least 2-3 more pictures of Bosisio`s sprint and Lloret/Efimkin but obviously not.
Actually I am pretty happy with the outcome. I haven`t expected this during the stage and was quite disappointed. But Kope somehow managed to stay in the 2nd big group and finished on a brilliant 6th overall. So stage win and top7 is reached both.
On the other hand I would have liked to see Ruijgh or even Boom being in the Bosisio group today, then maybe even the podium like Sousa would have been possible.
For the teams with big favourites like VW, Bianchi this must have been very disappointed. Well, at least it`s finally done now.

So close. 
But 2nd isn´t bad after all, only Wegmann and Kessler should have done better.
