Is this race finally done? I am happy with all the riders, except Astarloza. But On a scale from 0 to 10, Astarloza ends on a 5, while the others are spread around 8 to 10.
Ochoa Quintero, Delgado and Colorado enter the Top 10, but with so many stage winners, and the points having been spread around, no other Tachira rider makes it into the Top 20, although Martinez, Rodas, Saldarriaga, Schwab, Zaugg and Astarloza are all just outside.

Team Rankings
With just 6 teams here, it was always going to cause some strong ranking performances. SL Benfica took 372, YouTube 316, Quiksilver 280, Red Bull 236, Bbox Bouygues 181 and Lego 97.
And on the basis of their Tour Down Under performance, Red Bull are the new continental leaders! Quiksilver are up to 3rd, SL Benfica 5th, YouTube 8th and Lego 10th - although Lego may be dissapointed with their haul from this race. Bbox Bouygues also rise up, to 14th.
Having my riders Rodas and Jose Chacon place 4th and 5th on GC I would have bitten your hand off at the start of the race.
Sport Lisboa looked very strong but did not completely dominate - points seemed to be shared nicely with Quiksilver and Youtube also getting a look in. Slightly surprised Bbox got lower points than Red Bull, they seemed more active - though Asterloza was obviously very disappointing.
Team LEGO had a bit of a nightmare though obviously with Schwab they were unlucky. We also suffered on the hillier than expected sprints, as I said earlier lesson learned in that respect.
I am surprised to be leading the overall rankings at this stage - I am sure 100% Me and probably Wiggle will move up as a result of the Tour of Wellington. The upcoming Tour de San Luis will also see a strong showing from Sport Lisboa.
I am happy with all the riders, except Astarloza. But On a scale from 0 to 10, Astarloza ends on a 5, while the others are spread around 8 to 10.
