And again my team thinks of a new way to fail... Well done!

That was mediocre at best.
By the way, Dekkers is surely Dutch

Great ride by Dekkers. Two in a row for the team. Wow. Now Talabardon need to do something in the mountains  |

A strange second stage there, Martinez nearly got some bonus seconds. At least these high finishes can help him with the Points competition.
Now for the GC battle to start. |

Another poor mountain performance... would be nice for Martinez or Ndbri to get a podium once in a while. Ndbri is as good as Rohregger, yet he seemingly can't get into the top five on a mountain stage.
At least that sets up the race nicely ahead of the ITT. Martinez should be able to hold onto his top 5 overall. Marzano vs. Rohregger should be a good battle for the GC. Marzano will have to limit his losses ahead of the final mountain stage. |

Positive:
Stage win. Gustav Larsson dropped enough to not be a threat from the TT.
Negative:
Rohregger is way to close for my liking. Marzano will most likely have to drop him to get the victory. It should end up being very tight.
It looks like i have secured the point competitions as well. Lasca has to big a gap in the sprint competition, while i with Marzano in yellow should have someone getting enough points in the climbing competition. It looks like a great end to the season for our team. |

Do not underestimate Mestre, he also has a decent TT and should be considered a dangerous rider if he keeps his attacking style of riding. 
Now Athanasiades to win the TT...

Rohregger didn't quite get the stage win, but with the timetrial coming up, he can hopefully peg back Marzano - though it looks likely that all will be to play for on the final stage - exactly how it should be!

Athanasiades could've done better, suffered a lot from the climb I guess...
Mow Mestre to get a podium overall, which should be doable...

Good stage for us, it's hard to mess up a TT. Martinez and Camano in advanced GC positions with Ndbri relatively close as well. Want a really selective stage so he can move into the top 10 as well ahead of the weaker climbers. |

Looks set for an interesting final stage, with the Rohregger-Marzano duel for the overall and several riders with a shot at the final spot on the podium.
Rohregger was very impressive on Markstein, but I reckon he'll get dropped by Marzano on the tougher Ballon.

5th is OK... But promotion is pretty much out of reach now I guess...

Great ride by Taubel, securing the KoM jersey. GC wise the earlier miss of Talabardon helping Kirchen costed a better place. Overall a good stage race with the 2 stage wins + the mountain jersey
Now its a little bit math to calculate our team points against BNCR Clasico RCN points (because the fight for the 5th place in CT rankings). |

Yeah Magna are really moving well with a really good race from Rohregger there.
Also a fine GC battle between rohregger and Marzano as well.
