Not bad, but not great either... Top 15 would certainly be ok for my team but I'm still hoping for a top 10, and Efimkin is close to that...

Thanks guys! Great win again, Marquez on fire and podium looks certain now bar accidents.
The hilly stage will be tough with Kiserlovski just few seconds behind, however again the last hill doesn't look to have real big gradients and with his acceleration I hope he can handle him well.

Isn't it going to plan actually? You got prolly 3 in Top 25 with 2 in top 20 and 1/2 Sonney's top 10 done?

Do you have different expectations than the ones you write in discussion threads before hand?

He expected disappointment, that's why it isn't going to plan

3 in the top 20 and 2 top 10s from Sonnery would make this a success. I expect disappointment though

Not the results I'm rolling my eyes at, though Maillet disappointed a bit. I was rolling them at the lack of gaps |

Hoped for a little more from Berhane with home advantage, but there's still the final stage at least to perhaps provide a chance to move up the standings.

What a close finish! Only our 2nd stage win of the season surprisingly enough. Plus we have a bunch of guys in the top 30 of GC. Good race so far, hopefully the final stage doesn't ruin it.

I'd take 6th from this position, hopefully Samwel can deliver and give us some more Africa Tour points. |

Well negotiated day, Marquez well positioned at all times and good sprint. If tomorrow goes well, maybe even a chance of points jersey could not be out of reach.
Should be exciting day ahead!
Well done CSC, always nice to get an unexpected break win.

Nice result for Eyob in his home tour, but got to feel a bit sorry for Mobil - not much luck this season.

Overall this was a good stage for the team, one more top10 for Davis and now 3 riders are in the top30

When you think PCM ruins your team the most, there is still Mobil that is being trolled even more. I feel for you Miguel.
Nice Marquez show a stage earlier, he is the climber of the season so far.

Ehm... Nope...
Strong winds seem to favour breakaways a lot this season...

6'20''....
Oh, ffs.
Why doesn't PCM like my climbers? I wonder how the fuck does Guillen hang in for a mountain stage in Bulgaria, but Torres, can't hang for an easy hilly stage.. I just can't get it.

That deserves a booooooom! Perfect job, nice to see the Croatian Nat jersey as well, looking good
That's back-to-back overall wins ( and points jerseys) for us Nifty achievement.
Things are looking good, let's bring ZLM now
P.S. Mobil
P.S.2 I already said in in reporters, but I <3 you. Thanks for fast and quality reports

That's the death knell for the top 5 chances, which is probably for the best. Little bit disappointed but I'll take Maillet in 14th here, shame about the splits on stage 3 though. Thanks for some great reporting tsmoha |
