I'd hope that Clarke would do better than that but I'm all out of hope for him right now. Meh.

No breakaway  Although some nice KoM points, for Roson that won't matter at the end of the race 
Move on the mountains now! 
I have seen last year's S3 and it was more selective than i thought, which is a very good sign of what's might be coming.

Aight, Meyer still a contender for the points jersey and Krasnoperov at least getting a fair chance to prove himself in the mountains. Now it's finally time to get disappointed. |

Nobody in the break so that was disapointing. Jaser was 17th (at lleast he gives hope ) and Solis finished ok in the peloton so I guess thats a good sign.

Bit meh so far, but Hacecky looks dangerous.

Very happy with Haller's win! Also very nice to see kreuziger in the break.
Hopefully this continues for us |

Thanks for some great reports
Congratulations to In-n-Out p/b and Repsol, with the stage wins.
Not the best from my boys so far.

 That's how you do it Rafa! 
Very surprised to win the sprint to Penasa, and that, apart from the stage win (4th win of the season, 3rd for Valls), is very very very very important for the GC battle.
Race jury go home! You're drunk... How can you not give any gaps from Bennett to the rest? I'll second what Jandal said (and his amazing graphical work; i guess it's not too late to nominate him for that award )
Great reports as always tsmoha! Thanks!

Quoting to drop the spoiler.
Great effort by Karnulin and Bennett, unlucky.

And this is why we need a like button.
I guess it's kinda inevitable with so many 78+ climbers, but it does get rather annoying at times. Not sure if that was good for me or not; Anacona not gaining time but at least Krasnoperov is still 3rd because of it. |

Merry Christmas everyone, 3P with another solid performance, but Valls was just too strong. Congrats to maxime for taking stage 2 and Aquarius on stage 3. Your squad should be able to maintain the lead with your fantastic mountain depth, but I'm hoping Pozzo can turn in a super mountain goat performance to keep Penasa with the top leaders in the latter mountain stage.
Pleased with the potential points haul thus far, but hoping we can just barely improve to 1st!

Christmas Eve and Day hasn't been too bad for us.
Stage 2 - Krieger with another barely points finish (he really should be doing better!), but it was a nice change to see Costa in the break.
Stage 3 - Bardet overperforming again but the jury robs him of a lot of position gains! Still only 20th in the GC isn't fair reward for his effort. Useful KOM points taken too. Timmer with a good performance. Battaglin weak again though.
Thanks for the reports tsmoha and congrats to all the stage winners so far!
Merry Christmas all

Congratz on the win Aquarius (feel like im saying this too often already ) and great report tsmoha!
The gaps are all messed up but it helped me a lot so I'm not gonna complain at least Solis is still on the run after an explosive stage and his 60HIL.
Merry Christmas everybody!

It's my fourth win of the season, but only the second in the last 3 MG months. Not like i'm winning every race

Oh Vila... you finally got in the right break but couldn't score in the end.. Oh well at least it was a good shot. Jaser blew the sprint but Solis remains is still finishing up front so thats good.
Gratz Atlantius and of course tsmoha!
