I agree with jt on this, those playing pcm12 know how fast the 50COB guy is loosing the bars, even on few hundreds of this terrain, so these maybe will not be simply dropped on the climb, but can lack energy to stay in the group right after it, or to make a proper uphil sprint.
This can surely cost them precious seconds. But lets wait for the outcome,good luck to all (especially PrivatBank with Sosnitskiy and Tanovitchii working for their leaders).

And there are Cardoso's first seconds to save him on the Mur de Bretagne.
Weird stage without an early break...
Congratulations to Kappa.

A shame that Jørgensen went for all the bonussprints, considering our final train.

Marcos showed great skills, unfortunately he started a bit to early. Patrick seems also strong, and hopefully he can keep the form the rest of the race. Congratulation to Lasca, who timed his sprint perfectly.
We are still looking for the breakaway, and hopefully some team help us tomorrow! |

Thats probably the best report I can remember reading for a race with no attacks, good job Smowz!

Did not expect this at all. But i guess Lascas superior hill stat plus the fact that he didn't compete for to many sprints made him strong for the finish.
The next stages should not suit him so much, but we have already gotten more out of both Lasca and this race then expected. |

Well, the team did reasonably though at the same time awfully!
Glad to take the KotM jersey though I'd rather either Tanguy or Millar had put in a tad more effort to make better use of the quiet field, meanwhile Ricki fading in the final sprint didn't help though we still gain 4th in the GC thanks to a reasonable performance in the sprint primes, could've been much worse all in all!

Excellent job Smowz as SN said.
Three top ten placings?! I am not sure if I am happy or disappointed Anyways, it shows that we can be among the top riders on the flat.

Nice sprint by Nardin! A little bump near the finish has a big impact it seems.
Strange that no one attacks. Hope this changes in the hilly stages.

Another strange one, without attacks, but the sprints are keeping it interesting.
Good reporting Smowz, this could have been a really difficult race to report, but I'm still very intrigued!

Not the best result for Jørgensen, but fine enough. Since the latest intermediate sprint it later on in the next stage I'm hoping that Jørgensen can have really fresh legs.
Great report again, Smowz.

Oh wow, not sprinting for the primes payed off. Great sprint by Filipe, 20 seconds extra to waste on Mur de Bretagne and the cobbles.
Very nice report, although nothing really happened between all sprints!

This is how you shouldn`t form sprint trains... 6th and 17th for the sprinters with team support...
Luckily this is not that often in PCM12 than it was in PCM11, where it was pretty normal.

I agree - very strange race. Hopefully we see some attacks the following days.
It´s wonderful to have a guy like Moren. He was supposed to be helper for Crespo, but it is great to see he can make some results when Crespo fails. It´s unlucky that it didn´t end up with our first victory, but with Moren in that form, it will hopefully come, one of the following days.
And again, great report Smowz |

Can't complain. Lasca with another good result, and even though the next stage might be to flat for him to win, there is another stage later for him. Also like that Mori is high up in the standings on both stages. It don't have to mean much, but it should indicate that he is one of the strongest in this peleton, and could take a top 5-10 at the end. |

Nelson performing terribly in the sprints, only real consolation is that Tanguy and Millar are controlling the KotM classification pretty well so far

The reports have been great Smowz, despite the pretty crap racing.

Great report again Smowz. With little action you make it exciting.
My team is greedy, but perhaps they should work together
