Nice to see a Swedish team up there 
Couldn't agree more. 
Great to see the Cuba champ jersey first over the line. Was it Mori who lead out Cabrera? Otherwise it was strange to see a non team lead out working out so well.
Yeh, Cabrera was behind Mori but left him practically at the start of the sprint
Hehe, sometimes it pays of to have a lousy lead out man so the sprinter easy can get past.

Anyway great stage! Everything is yet to be decided in the last stage of the race.

So Scheirlinckx attacks but not Ghisalberti. Already given up? That second stage wasn't good at all. At least Granjel Cabrera is riding over his ability.

visconti's effort was valiant, I would have liked to see him go and get away on the first climb, as he needed to make up a load of time...the second stage changed too much....a top 10 is not too bad however. |

Vermeltfoort is 5th in GC hopefully he'll keep up on that.

I just hope Martin can keep following the attacks. Victory in a HC stage race would be awesome and so unexpected

Man, this race was really really strange but also great.
I never thought that Granjel Cabrera would be my best rider with a third place. And that Martin and especially Bole was first and second is also pretty remarkeble.
Crazy last stage! Well done reporting SN.

Seems like Wegmann doesn't follow the right moves at the right time and it cost him. 1 stage win and 4th overall, plus second in the points ranking are good though.

Visconti goes with that last break and it is enough for a Top 5 I think, that said a Top 10 is good results for this new rider to my team. |

I'm closing in on the top spot. BMC doubled its point tally in 2 races and Giro del Capo should be kind to us with 3 uphill finishes and a short TT.

Not last, but with 2 significantly stronger teams behind me that would be a short notice place. |

Giro del Capo
I'm liking those rankings. But I guess all teams have been in different amount of races.
