Not the most comfortable of stages for us with Costa having to do a lot of the chasing from the second group. Hopefully we'll see some aggression from him in the coming stages too.

Lucky that Kinoshita didn't lose time cuz of that puncture. Not much else to say for us though!

Top 10 from Waeytens and some stage points for Pelucchi would be the goal. Unfortunately one of those two has a tendency to let me down.
But then again, the other one has given me the occasional stage win over the years. Great win for us in our fight to stay in!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

What the hell was that from AKA? It's like he was in a different universe from the actual race.

Rowe narrowly misses out on his annual stage win, so I guess hes saving it for further down the line 
Bellis is now in a good position after this stage, just hope he can shine in the next two stages, it would be a nice bonus to a season that's gone (relatively) well for us...

6th place is about par for Te Brake. Onto the hills for an improvement hopefully.

Another stage with Roux in the main group ahead of better guys behind, and pushing for a top 10 GC makes me a satisfied manager. The long summit finish tomorrow will be more selective and tough, could finish 8th or 16th depending on his day (even down to finish order!), and if he's really good or really bad could go further. Top half of that 8-16 group and that's pretty good considering there's 14 guys with 79+HI above him and probably better 78s too!

Waeytens hanging on, white jersey seems safe and leading team classification? What is this sorcery?

Well, at least JJ's going after a KOM competition he definitely can't win, and then loses buckets of time. I believe that's what I wanted.

Decent-ish. Would hope for Quevedo to move into the top 20 on the final stage.

What a fantastic performance by Sven! Second place in a HC race, climbing to fourth in GC with one stage left. Hopefully he can keep a Top10 spot in GC, while McKenna retains the KoM jersey. That would make for a fantastic stage for sure

Kinoshita needs to get time on Lutsenko

Too passive from Costa once again. Needs to attack sometimes.

Lutsenko doing Lutsenko things. Congrats on the win!
Great stage from AA, the cat 1 was one of my biggest fears of the race and although he got dropped, me made it back, finished 6th and lost less than 30 seconds. Good stage.
Thanks for the report!

Relatively passive from WCC throughout stages 2 and 3. Only 1 chance now to actually make something good come from this race. Betancourt hanging around in more or less the right places during stage 3, but Boily is having a bit of a shocker here so far.
Boily's season has yet to have a stand-out result, and speculation is growing that both he and team management think his best future may be in the CT division where he was in contrast such a stand-out in leading WCC's promotion charge last season. Refuting these rumours, Boily's agent continues to point to the strong showings that Boily had for RBC amassing solid p/Wage in both the PCT and PT in prior seasons.

Not sure why Kinoshita is so bad this year. Really annoying.

21st. I'll take it though. Selander going all-in with that attack but losing a few places as a consequence. Don't really blame him. Overall an average race where I don't think we couldn't have permormed much better.
Thanks tamijo for the reports, and congrats Vien!

Can't blame JJ for trying on the final stage here. I loved the aggressiveness, even if it didn't work out. Sucks he didn't have the legs, especially since the break survived.
In the end though, we achieve none of our goals and get nothing from the race, which, needless to say, is not what a team in the relegation fight needs.
