Bummer! That gap would have been so handy for us. Bruno Borges is having an amazing week though. I can't do the math, but I imagine the KoM is very nearly secured at this point.
I can't say I'm eager for the last couple of stages, but I sure am anxiously awaiting for some more of your quality reports Spilak

And what a moment of shock in the end  guess some managers were pretty pi**ed for a few seconds! Well, even i was.
Would have gladly enjoyed to have been pissed for those few seconds

Amex seems to come alive in North America. Tyler Farrar gets a 5th in a sprint finish. He could have placed higher but for a rough transition between AMEX leadouts Kurth and Keough.
Sure would be nice to score some solid American race points for the sponsors.

What a sprint by Machado. Looks a good rider. Going to watch him for next year.
This is nothing compared to his two Giro stage wins last season, but still good to see him winning.

Only read the result list (on phone, as my pc can't connect to web yet.) Pleased with what I have seen so far. Ardila with an important win and leading gc. Hoping he keeps it,.but I.have my doubts.

I think you have him confused with another Cafe de Colombia rider, Banos Ballester (now a free agent)

I'm glad that split didn't give any time differences, I want Keizer to beat them all in the TT  I feel this race is really going the way I want it to, I love when races do that. Also, considering that I got Ratiy in Tour of America I should've made the american rankings a team goal :/

Wow. Having a perfect wheel behind Gatto and not even able to finish in the top10...last season for you, Mr Cucinotta...
Next year with Vantomme, Krieger, Ariesen I will have enough sprinters next to Bellis, Geschke. |

Weird race so far and not too great for Vueling. Schreurs seems to be lacking a bit of killer instinct - he'll work hard in the off-season |

Happy that Machado could salvage something from this race for me after a very disappointing mountain stage. He has certainly been a very useful rider.

Got to take a good look at the reports, and some of these images used are looking very good! Doubt Ardila keeps the jersey, but it would be awesome if he did.

What a ride from Kashechkin, this is what I have been waiting for all season. I really hope he can hold the lead through the time trial, but it will be tough. I had forgotten that this stage was still to come so I thought that the race was over for me, boy am I relieved.

And here goes another chance for Rogers.. Had hoped for less huge gaps,now its yet another waste of q race for him.
I can only hope for Lloyd and visconti to hold on to where they are. Guess Lloyd will struggle to do so, though.

Quite an unpredictable race. Given that this is HC too, this could really shake up the bottom end of the PCT standings. Some big points could be coming to teams who really need it

Great, Grygorenko still holding the top5 spot (and "white" jersey) in HC race, what a success and hopefully final confirmation of us being worthy part of PCT also for the next year.
Keijzer will probably gain those 48 seconds and strip Oleksandr down from young riders jersey, but i hope our rider will not give it up without a fight. Pozzo will also jump him in the standings most likely, so i expect fight with Morabito for 8th place, those other behing are worse TTists.
Thanks for nice reports and congrats to Repsol, this can even save their season,as SN suggest that points are high here.

Not surprised to see the jersey go away, but I thought it was going to happen during the time trial. Strong riding by Kashechkin. This may have been one of the better continental tour races so far.

Well caught up with this race now!
Zaini had a nice start to the race, and Stetina did well on Stage 3 for sure (damn you Chavanel)
Stupid time lost on stage 4, and Stetina rode poorly on stage 5 to lose time there as well as on stage 6.
Atleast we are leading the Team Classification after stage 6. A little surprising tbh, but its cool to see.

Well, well... good to see Rogers taking out this final stage, but 23rd in final GC is still a bit too less.. especially as Repsol, AMEX and also LukOil scored big time here.
At least Lloyd grabbed some valuable points as 13th, had feared a bigger drop by him on final day. So definitely not the worst HC-race we had this year, but with so many relegation-teams scoring high, it should have been better  Too bad this second hilly stage was too hard for Rogers..
