Okay I'll take that all day, real sad about Le Bon losing time and dropping to 17th (that's a point lost  ), now let's see if Awang can deliver on a stage perfect for him

Definitely a stage where Nibali's 2nd could be threatened but he's done enough to hold on to the reduced peloton along with Borisavljevic. Definitely still a chance to stay near the top!
Also love to see that we are 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the U25 classification! Really shows what we're about this season.

Happy to see our loanee Habtemichael in yet another break for McCormick, and our former rider Juodvalkis in there too with 2nd on the stage!  Shame how Kwiat is going so far though

A little behind, but very happy with Yamamoto's performance so far, we'll see if he can bring in some more points for team. Cort Nielsen in 7th is also doing his job thus far. |

Steimle with really good performances on stages 3 and 4 to be very close to the Top 50 and apparently in the U25 Top 10 so far, would be great to see him grab a point or two for Tryg here and prove he'll be a very durable sprinter in the future.

The stage didn't go too well for us but Kiserlovski held onto the GC leaders. Only 26 seconds and in 6th overall. 1 Hill stage left are the next flat day so not much hop to get the GC win but hopefully we can move into a top 5 position or maybe top 3.

Very boring AI there... Guess that happens when the GC leader doesn't have the necessary support or motivation to chase. Annoying that Conci lost time and we lost the lead in the Teams classification.
The final stage will obviously be the decider here. A lot of riders close to each other at the Top of the GC and it'll likely be a rather random stage. Hoping Nibali keeps in touch and stays as close to the podium as possible.

Not unrealistic though, no reason for GC to chase on that stage. Although not sure if there were sprint teams that should have chased.
Kudos to Netia and glad to see MccCormick's break away commitments pay off a little.

This stage could have delivered so much better but guess it needs a stage replacement to work well.
Congrats to hoyle and luis leon for the GC top2.
Chaves and Kwiatkowski + Squire should have done more here. |

The team did nothing there but Nibali takes 2nd in the GC which is massive for the team! I don't know how he has this form in this game but I'm absolutely loving it.
1st, 2nd and 5th in the U25 and 3rd in the Teams is also great for points.

Cort Nielsen! Still justifying the paycheck in my eyes, our top performer so far. |

Top 10 on all stages, a stage win and the points jersey. I am happy with that.
