Well that was a rather solid TTT performance. Hope it helps Devolder to get a decent GC at the end.

Nice TTT from my team, as we don't have that much of TT specialists. Now the moutains come. Vrecer, pls, top 20. |

Hard to do much better in this field. Can't complain.

Time on (almost) everyone and no responsibility to pace the peloton tomorrow. Couldn't have gone better for us!

Whoa, totally missed this topic. Really wanted to send Arroyo here just for fun, but the Vuelta a Queltesomthing was full and I had to go to Galicia. So I hope the organisers will forgive us for our weak lineup and I hope to be in at least one breakaway

Well, only 51 seconds back in the TTT. Then stage 2 we get the KOM so atleast we will leave with some points, but (sorry for the harsh language) what the fuck were my team leaders doing?
You would think two 78 rated climbers wouldn't finish 17 minutes back of climbers that are rated only 1 or 2 points higher than them.
I was happy to read that Signorini got in the break, but I feel its costed my team, because as a side effect my leaders did not want to attack, and we all know how PCM 12 works. All 20+ race contenders attack at the same time to form the lead group and then everyone that hasn't attack just sit up.

A little annoying to see Caruso sit up like that after getting dropped from the front group, but it could've been worse I guess. PCM12's AI really hurt a few teams on this stage.
Good riding from Osella as well.

That's disappointing. Hopefully that means more attacks from both of my Spanish climbers in the next two stages.  Congrats to Vespa, the home crowd surely had a great impact.

Great stage, great report and a great winner! With all the misfortune that has followed Vespa so far this year, then it's hard to say that Pozzovivo didn't deserve that win.

Looks like the nationality bonus has given Pozzovivo the edge

Incredible total fuck up. Goodbye any chance of scoring a non ridiculous amount of points. Argh.

That was very good from Pozzo. Thought it was great he got away, but not so great it was with Alarcon. Only explanation must have been +5/-5 daily form. Down to Cataldo now to nullify the next two stages Great report too. |

Well holding onto the KOM lead for another day is nice. Could have been a decent points pickup if Stetina held on for 2nd as well. Happy my two strongest climbers were active today, attacking several times, and my new GC hope Signorini was still in the big group too, although I dont think he'll manage too well tomorrow

Not the action one could expect. Nor the winner. Strange to see the steep gradients make for a lame race here while the stage in Middle East (won by Landa) was great.

It's hard to make any gaps on steep gradients with the attacks ( this is still major fault of PCM as the attacks on steep gradients don't work as well as they should ) you can make gaps much easier by attacking on less steep gradients as show few times already in Man-Game.
Nice to see Devolder win though

Very strong teams racing here. Surprised that Kessiakoff dropped on stage 2. The TTT went as expected. At least the team is trying to do something, even though the competition is hard.

12th so far for Vrecer. Only one more stage to go, will he be the surprise of this race? And let's see if he doesn't pull a top 10. |

Was very disappointed we didn't place any rider in the breakaway, but extremely happy when i found that Adamou managed to keep track with the peloton over the top, and with that, advance to 19th. That's way over our expectations in this race, so we hope he can continue to follow the best on the last stage aswell |
