Good to see that Team WWE performs better than expected in term of team ranking and stage rankings. Well, top 10 will be hard now.

Hopefully Zirbel gets it done and Sanchez maintains a high finish. Hopefully we can take the win and a decent amount of points.

A real slice of luck there for Cal Giant - can't surely manage to lose the lead looking at what is to come? |

More breakaways perhaps?

Weird stage. 
Baumann proves me right, that sprinters don`t work in a Rothaus jersey this season.
Therefore Hermans with another nice stage, although I would hope for some late attacks by him with 77 plain stat.
Ariesen pretty funny that he lost that much time to be out of the time limit...
The 2nd overall probably destroys the dream of the first KoM jersey, but I don`t really care if he can hold his 2nd.  |

Did I just see that? Tell me, I did not just see that!
That is why I like to cheer for a break away instead of my sprinter(s). Darn it! At least they show that they want something.. Too bad they fail when it comes to it.

Great 2nd for Dowsett, puts him into the GC Top 10 as hoped

Sagan! 
Very nice to get a victory again, and I'm also a little bit surprised that Sagan was the one who got it.

The more this race has gone uphill, the more it's gone downhill for our team. No surprise really, I just hoped Konovalovas could keep a top 3, then top 5. At this rate, top 10 will be a success.
Congrats to Venchi though

Luck has nothing to do with it dear boy. The amount of success your team achieves is directly proportional to the amount of ice cream you send to the race reporter.
Edit: Of course, cash might be acceptable to more pragmatic reporters, but I take ice cream

Two in a row!
This race looks to be a huge sucsess for our team. Hopefully Corioni can repeat this victory on (one of) the two last stages.

I just hope to keep 3rd in the GC and 1st in the sprint classification now. But with the luck i had in Turkey, i fear Sagan to take both...
I really like the speed the reports are done atm, great work by all reporters

Perfect stage for me.
Actually Passeron falling back was a huge surprise but the climb is weird with lots of 20% parts. So unpredictable.
But due to his big advance he is still 2nd and worst scenario didn`t happen. Luckily Hermans wasn`t waiting for him today and even improved into top5. Normally his good top10 sprinting results should give him an advantage ahead of Konovalovas.
Also Baumann did well being top10 with such a hard climb.
Hope I can keep 2xtop5 overall in a HC race. Would be awesome. |

It's a C1 race
But still, 2 riders in the top 5 should give you lots of points |

True. C1 in the Race profile thread and race planner.
HC in the calendar file, where I was looking first.
Still some nice amount of points hopefully. |

Seems to get a top 10 after all. I guess the work in the peloton makes sense, but I would prefer same result with less work in it.

Well, where we even in stage 6?
Oh yes I saw that Van Hummel was dropped, that was it. |
