My team have decided to not compete in this race. They just ride along for fun.

Terrible stage for us, it is proven that my sprinters do not have what it takes to tackle the difficulties of these stages...

Still all to play for here, even a rider who has yet to get bonuses could in theory win this.
CJ pops up with a win, pleased for him as a former Red Bull 2 year rider, superb lead out for him there.

Nice stage and good win by Sutton. But I can't help notice this is about the 3rd time this happens with my sprint train this season. Anyway I hope we can overcome this and lead Santos into the bonification places.

Funny to see two of my former riders on the podium. Both are clearly much better suited to the CT opposition, even though Dall'Antonia did fairly well while riding for me too.
Looking forward to follow how the overall turns out. Looks great for Mobil at the moment, but a lot can change in the two remaining stages.

A little bit more points, but a disapointing stage never than less. Ciocan has the chance to get back to the GC lead tomorrow, but the goal here of top 10 seems to be 100% safe.  |

This was the best opportunity we had to get something I do not understand why so many in front was not possible to make a train. But in the end turned out to be not bad, 2 in the top 5 is positive now looking forward to the last step.
Fabio Silvestre has undoubtedly been a big surprise, it would be optimal if I managed to improve their position and holding the classification of youth

What the hell is going on with my team here? :s
Cardoso falling is bnad enough... Attacking on stage 2 is just plain stupid, but now not letting Lima sprint... GAAH!
0-Pointer coming up I guess...

Another terrible stage...
Schinker is supposed to be the 7th best sprinter here, but is completely failing outside the top 20. I would say it is his secondary stats but he won Puig...
Hopefully we can at least get a point out of this race tomorrow |

Being this the flattest stage of the competition it was always going to come down to the best combination of strongest train + strongest sprinter. So in the end I think it is only fair DBKE takes this triumph.
And although I'm not completely satisfied with my sprint train, this is something more to what I had in mind for this event. I'm just disappointed to see Pires being left out of the sprint set up. He could be very useful before Carvalho's turn.
Anyway fingers crossed for the last stage. Hope Santos can keep the green jersey and secure the top5.
Beautiful reports of the sprints as well SN.

Yay a victory! What a great end to the race, I seriously wasn't expecting to take the GC, especially with such a professional leadout train. Bravo guys. And what better than to win a race on home soil, in a report from SN?
Adira sure lived up to their obligations. You can count on that house on the French Riviera now fintas.
It's a shame for Die Berg though, they seemed to have everything under control and just lost it in final centimeters. I wish them better luck next time.

Firstly congratulations Gustavovskiy, will charge that stay in france...
We missed our goal of victory, but that was expected. I just have to be satisfied with the performance of my team, could not ask for more especially at this stage. Still it was a shame that Fabio Silvestre had failed to hold the youth jersey.
If I am not mistaken earned 62 points in this race that although not much, gives us 15.5 points per race day which is far more than the 8.2 which we have to this point in the season.

Not a bad race for us. A stage win, two riders in the top 10 and the goal is achieved.
