Actually, I am content with the result - at least Robov will lead a classification for a change, but I am not sure he will be able to defend the KoM jersey.

Very strange stage, It is a shame that we lost first place and also the points classification. The team did everything to bring Swift back to victory but unfortunately the British should not have the capacity to do so.
The 3rd and 4th place serve as a consulation in this stage, now the team remains to work for Paulinho. The next stage will be complicated but if he doesn't waste too much time he can attack a decent spot in the GC on the last stage

600k of failure - Georg Preidler in a nutshell. At least Robov shows up.

Again
Two major disappointments this stage; Ivanov not hanging on to Bernard otherwise he'd have been second in the GC, and Uran losing six extra seconds at the finish line with tomorrow unlikely to cause major gaps, at least not in his favor

Tough ride for Senni, the mountain was a bit too long for him (although the stacked field doesn't help either of course )
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I suspect foul play here.
But Denifl not losing any time without a resemblence of support is great. if he manages to do the same tommorow this will be a damn good race for us

Interesting outcome. Very strong effort by Fablok, who also seemed to have the strongest (or close to) in the 2nd group. The tactical awareness to keep both options open, and then to shut the pace once Bernard went solo was very realistic.
It would be somewhat of a steal if Bernard was to win this race! It's the year of the domestiques that's for sure...

Not bad from GB at all, hopefully he's still got his Pologne form in the hills!

Sorry for my lack of commenting but this week has been moving pretty fast.
Crazy stage there. Cool to see Min grab the white jersey.
What a result for Fablok! It should be interesting that final stage

what the hell was that???
Terrible pcm ia, sending the team leader to the break in the decisive stage simply destroyed any possibility of a good result in this race. We won nothing and lost everything on this stage.
Certainly Paulinho would have lose time for the favorites but never 6 minutes.

A meh finish to a race where I was expecting better from my 600k top rider. Still, 16th is not great, but not terrible + 20th and 2nd in KoM for Robov isn't all that bad in the battle for survival.
Congrats to Bernard and Fablok for holding Pluchkin off. And congrats to Nemolito for the reports.

No idea what we were doing there, but in the end an ok result for Senni. Thanks for the reports Nemolito and congrats to Fablok for this great win in a very tough field.

I didn't expect a miracle but this is disappointing. Uran losing much more time than necessary and Ivanov just giving up. At least we get some points with 13th/15th GC and 4th KoM, but it could and should have been more.
Congrats Fablok! Thanks Nemolito for the reports!
