Hmm.
Kunitski overperforming. And with chances in the KoM ranking.
Olivier 21st...WTF. Great ride by him.
Ruijgh losing more than 10min!  Even Voss ended in the peloton alongside Olivier.
So a so-so stage for me. Good moments stage wise, bad moments GC wise.
But probably can`t even blame Ruijgh. That less climbing since 2 seasons might take him the strength/routine on those few climbs.
At least best German in the GC. 
But not even sure if there are more Germans than Voss and Matzka. |

Those gaps in stage 4 
At least Gerrans did what I expected him to do (more often, though). Maybe he will try the same in a further stage, but for now I have to be satisfied with at least some points. Anyway, Peraud as 24th in GC is truly disappointing, I really expected his allround skills to pay off better.

Actually he is not overperforming. But already at his limit I think.
Look at who is ahead of him. Most are better climbers. And similar riders like Morabito, Ruijgh etc. were dropped.
The startlist is just very tough. |

Just caught up with the four Hellas stages, thanks for them Roturn, top quality job there! 
Good activity from Sheydyk to grab the early KOM jersey there for Metinvest, shame he lost it day after though. But stage win is so awesome, after pretty long break without a win for us.
Popovych is sitting in the good place to strike the top5,which is the goal, so i am looking forward to MTF.
Congrats to all the winners so far.

Congrats to Swedbank. Another nice result for them.
Van Heerden:
Positioning: 2
Sprinting: 4-
2nd 11th here but even though he is not the best, he should have done more when having that position. When all started the sprint he was sleeping and losing ground before he realized he had to sprint...
At least Olivier with another attempt. Had hoped though that he saves his energy for tomorrow and to see Passeron in the group or Schachmann. |

Argh! It's pretty disapponting to be 13th when you have lost the 4th place only for placings, even if I know that I couldn't realistically ask for much better than this. Too bad also that Bole was so close to get the first stage too.
Oh well, congrats to all the winners, specially Crue, and great reporting roturn.

Fail. In my defense I only slept 3 hours in the last 3 days.

Swedbank is having quite a run lately. A worrying fact, as they are one of the teams we left behind until now. Time to drop another spot I guess.

Yep, Swedbank is rolling recently, congrats to them!
Decent 8th by Vasylyuk, but with nice positioning, he could be closer to top5, to call it success.
Now go Popo, we need that top5 in the GC, likely the last chance to fullfil the team goal this season.
Nice report Roturn, keep them coming.

Huge bummer here...
One of the worst mountain top finishes this season imo.
Feel sorry for Avin and his top5 goal being destroyed by the gameplay.
For me it`s unfortunate that Kunitski couldn`t join the break and take the KoM. But 2nd there at least gives me some points. Points I won`t get in any other ranking.
Bouygues, Vueling, Vespa and Swedbank probably the winners of this race. |

Pretty disappointing mountain stage - not dissimilar to Colombia, though gaps are prising open.
Good pace roturn keeping things going

PCM12 strikes again Oh well, Dekker's a good sprinter too, was just a bit too boxed in on this stage, so I can't complain too much about these mountain sprints... although on the other hand, he's also the best climber, so if the AI was any good, he'd be taking minutes on everyone else instead of just seconds. |

Dekker and Taaramae in 1st and 2nd seems like a good result stat wise. But behind those bonus second guys it`s PCM12 logic.
Will try to finish the race today. But can`t guarantee. |

GC and Points win for Dekker - and another 2nd stage placing. Good race for Vueling. |
