Castaño has been exceptional for the team and even though I feared the worst when he was caught behind, in that split - then it was a solid performance to take second only beaten by a very strong Rujano!
- He is a decent timetrialer too, so it would be very disappointing, if he loses his second place now, though everything can happen in this game!

Castaño after great performance only 11 seconds back, it makes me quite nervous

YES - I've had high expectations for Castaño though it was more to defend his second place not to claw so much time back on Rujano!

I still think Rujanos lead is more than enough, unless Castaño can put up a incredible strong attack in that final stage.. the profile looking rather easy but I hope my team will put a lot of pressure on your riders - let the best man win!

Just when I thought Larsson had bagged his first stage win of the season, Castaño blasted his time away. At least Larsson got his fourth 2nd place, that's something
Congratulations to rycadinho, though, Rujano should save his overall win. |

I feel there is something left in this last stage, but odds I guess favour a breakaway, at least that would be the smart thing for poker stars to do.

Dont know what we can hope for on the last stage, Lövkvist do like mountains more then hilly terrain I guess.
Just realized that Lövkvist had the Swedish national jersey in the TT to but he is just the road champions. Dont have the DB here but if I remember right Renäng is the swedish tt champion. |

Vanendert with his best stage result to date. In a TT.

Surprised by Mollema. Hoping Voeckler takes KOM and Txurruka takes a place among top ten.

Congrats Pokerstars. I'm sure Pirelli will be satisfied as well. |

I didn´t feel well while reading report, luckily gap wasn´t big enough at the end, so I can celebrate Pokerstar´s 1st stage race win ever! (as I remember)

A very controlled performance from Pokerstars here, Rujano takes the queen stage and they avoid the crashes.
I am expecting Pirelli, Pokerstars and Tinkoff to come good and this certainly was a race where things went pretty well for them. WWE returning with a win to show they are kings of the breakaway win once more!
Roturn as we can expect from your long standing Garmin story certainly showing great form as a reporter, any ideas why those pics are coming up small? (no biggie I can click to see bigger pics). Certainly looking forward to you reporting on some of the Ardennes.

I normally use 1920x1080 resolution and smaller the size. But it`s still wide screen format then, what makes it look small.
I also noticed this in especially in comparison to SN`s reports. I already tried some other sizes and I think I found a better solution for future reports, where they should look less wide. |

Clicking on roturn's pictures does make them bigger for me.

Pokerstars took 170 points here, Pirelli 146 and Tinkoff 96. Cal Giant, Bianchi, Venchi and Saab all also scored 100+ here. Full rankings update after De Panne

No one in the break. Just great. Not.
But congrats to Pokerstars. Well deserved overall victory here.

Good to see Mollema win. I was really close to selling him this season, too. Glad I didn't.
Was hpoing for Voeckler to take the KoM and Txurruka trying something for the top 10. But I did get a stage win som I am happy.

I'm disappointed we didn't manage to have a rider in the breakaway. Larsson 2nd place on the TT was everything we got from this race. Combined with Taiwan, that should mean we are heading for the middle of the table, in the CT Rankings.
Congratulations to Pokerstars, finally Rujano showed his class.
And that was 5 excellent reports, roturn. Very nice "pacing" aswell |

Great, 5th in the GC by Lövkvist and Salgueiro took the KoM jersey! And the Team Ranking. |
