Nice for young loanee Carlos Verona to ride off the ramp first and get a mention for our team.
 Although he did finish 46th...
Lloret with a nice start and tsmoha whatever you gave to your team in the last two months I want some to give to my guys.
Looks like promotion is going to come down to us and Bacardi now. Very similar teams: Kami has the better leaders but I think I have the depth to keep up.

We're available. Another Asian team that suffers from inadequacy from its leaders at inopportune moments
As for Oz, I'm glad I predicted them to promote. Bacardi to beat CSC and I'll be 5/5  |

If they're any nationalities apart from Sri Lankan and French you're safe |

I think there should be a 2nd Japanese focussed team. Quite a monopoly you have there. Same counts for other countries like Russia of course. |

Nice opening prologue for Metinvest, especiall 10th from Popo, as Zmorka was expected to be better from these two and inside top10, he lost focus a bit in recent weeks.

We've had teams like that before. All they do is annoy valv in the Transfers, and then disappear from the game mid-season. Must be some kind of curse!

Well, it`s a step to stop a monopoly.
No, so far those "exotic" teams indeed seem to disappear unfortunately.
Would be cool to have regional battles all over the World. So far it`s only Europe and Africa really. Last became really nice after Jaguar had some kind of monopoly there before. |

Kiwi teams the same. Well, Cadbury DS already disappeared pre-season

I know it was last year. Just trying to establish a new Kiwi-curse with also Fletcher Garneau likely to fold after just one year.
And btw: to those saying, i'm save to promote... Just was just a prologue in a multiple-stages race  Nice points, but far from huge if we won't score a GC-result here. Just saying..

The OZ-Onslaught, will it ever end! What a team!
Interesting to see Euskaltel - Bavaria here when chasing promotion. To keep their promotion hopes alive, with so few race days left now, I have a feeling they really need multiple stage wins here. I hope they manage it as I would like to see them go up. |

I like how you put "It's more than likely now, to see a change of leadership today." Gustav, as if it wasn't always certain with Ford being in the race lead
Nice bit of time gained by Bibby on Uran and various others. A pity he couldnt get 2nd as that would have been the race lead, but plenty of time to press for that in later stages. Better to have ensured the gap remained than be tactical for bonus seconds.

This was an excellent stage for Popovych and Bibby.
The loss by Uran and Cataldo isn`t too big though.
Karpets clearly the biggest disappointment today, But also the puncheurs should have done better. In especially those, who might have had hoped for a decent GC like Betancur for example. |

Bibby and Popo doing great. Congrats, both managers 
O'Brien with a nice effort, too, though i don't like the fact that he was the Ozzie to go for this attacks and not Koren. No huge damage for the latter though, if he somehow hangs on there til the TT, i will be fine. And i like O'Brien, so this was still nice to see.

Well, I had no hopes Gustavo regarding Vasquez, since I knew this was going to happen. 
Well, hopefully he will do something on the mountain stage, and we can try to sneak a stage win from a break. |

Hey I'm the one reporting, let me manage suspense my way In hindsight I should probably become more ominous of what I'm writing.
It's sad for me to report on these bad news for my fellow portuguese managers, but I guess that in order to have winners we must also have someone losing.
There are a lot of race days left though. Plenty of chances for everyone to bounce back.
Anyway, congratulations on your victory, viking
