Armee on 6th is quite a nice surprise. If he's lucky he might actually do a good GC here, although doubtful.

Well thats always nice.... and the time loss isn't even enough to be able to get into a break either so its probably going to end up a huge disaster.
Nateghi obviously performing well though, he'll be the one bright spot we can take from this.

A good surprise provide by Cardoso, would be optimal if he could hold this jersey until the end of the race.. Now it's time for the real decisions of the race to see how far Mehr-Wenige achieves a good place overall.

More points for Gatto so have to be pleased, even though he faded badly.
Now to see if Ginanni can step up to the plate. |

This is what I was afraid off. Davis, keeping up with the 1st group. Still, remarkable how Efimkin did that charge to the line. |

Way to go, Efimkin! 
I thought he was out of it when I saw the screen with a km to go, but timing was clearly everything on that climb. Davis clinging on is not good, though. Really hope he'll get shed on one of the other hilly stages.

Nice stage, overall. All of our puncheurs finished well within leading group and of course Lloyd showed he's strong. And I have to repeat, that I like Visconti's attacking style.

Great stage for us, with 3 in the front group. How did Nocentini do so well? |

Was going to post about Davis a bit earlier, the other three hilly stages don't look that difficult but can he hold the lead? If not he may start losing time in the usual 'sprinters' way.
Amazing late burst by Efimkin there, looks like Ginanni ran out of steam. These two could grab some bonuses but there will be concerns for managers of other expensive punchaers based on today.

I have a feeling all stages will be like that and it will come down to the bonus seconds and whoever has the best average finishing position.
Luckily Schurter still holds eigth on GC and it was nice to see him on the attack, I just hope it won't backfire on him if he keeps it up.

Nice win by Efimkin, really thought noone would catch Ginnani there

3 in the front group is good and i think Roy got blocked in the sprint so could be more to come from him! |

If Davis holds on here then knocking Hollister out of a winning position in the division is going to be next to impossible. Still, it doesn't look like the final climb was particularly difficult anyway.

3 good stages in a row for me, after some disappointing results in the last few races.

Believe me, with some of the dodgy race planning I've got coming up it won't be that hard  |

Intresting race so far. Davis doing good though holding on to the lead will be hard with some steeper hill finishes coming up. Ginanni and Efimkin both in a very good postion for the overal.
One strange thing I noticed: I though uphill finishes on hilly stages were always 1.5 km sprinting? Or am I wrong? Cause it's the first time I see that no one is sprinting before the kite on a hilly stage.

So far this has been a good race for us ... Cardoso continues to lead the mountain ranking and Mehr-Wenige is in the top 10. If the race was over like this would be optimal for us ...

Not looking good if we can't drop the sprinters here...

Seriously? No posts or interest in the game for over 2 months as your team is somewhat dominant, and your first post back talks about disappointing results? Its not much fun having an inactive manager's team at the top of the division

Nice, this is the stage I have been looking most forward to, and I believe this is our chance to do something in this race, but we have to send someone in the breakaway, preferably Sai-Udomsin. |
