Almost got Dowsett, but 5th is about where I anticipated. Oz domination in the TT is unsurprising also, although being beaten by Ford always sucks considering his support stats  |

De Maar moved from 12th in GC to 8th. That was a great ride, I love this guy. <3

Rogers though... This race is just not his place to be. Same drama as last year.
Ford keeps doing well though, cool stuff. Also Koren with a nice jump and of course a great TT for Bobridge and Olman. Now to avoid any though luck in the flat stages please. Would make up for the poor results in Taihu. Thanks for the reports and pace!

That went pretty much as expected. Good ride by Craven to keep 2nd. Also nice to see that Anuar Aziz and Haavardsholm will get a decent amount of points from this race if the standings stay as they are.
Now hoping Van Avermaet can take a stage win!

Great TT by Durasek terrible hilly stage before though has cost him a top 10 really still TT results level with Kangert is something to take heart from.

AMEXpc's Dieter Mehr-Wenige after a very difficult TT stage 3 remains just inside the top ten. Looks like we will have to work hard to keep him there.
Jan Dieteren is 11+ minutes back and a good fighter, sure would like to see him slip into a break or 2 as this tour winds down/.

Thompson is 19th after making the split on stage 1, not losing too much time on stage 2 and putting in a decent time trial. It's not great by any means, but it's at least something from someone who I didn't expect at all.

Westra does what he has to do in the TT. Now it's a matter of staying out of falls and splits.

Ehm... How on earth can Konovalovas miss a moment where the top 5 gets a gap in groups where I also had 4 men? Luckily nothing happened here, but that should never happen.
Riding for Kobe still isn't working, Cardoso would've been a better choice.

Can't we just get a win? FFS man! We've had so many 2nd and 3rd places so far this season - especially from breaks. It's really frustrating. 3rd on this stage and 2nd in KoM. I can't really complain about this stage though because 3rd is more than what I bargained for.
It's a nice win for a manager who has now been banned by the MGUCI!

Would prefer a bunch sprint instead of breakaways ;) But the team did well to control the race, i guess. Always a shocker those splits though, but fortunatelly the yellow is well positioned. Now just one...

Even my old riders are doing better than my actual team. 
Oh well, nice to see Alafaci winning.  |

Vanoverschelde: fired. Konovalovas strong GC, valuable points.

Vanoverschelde with 62 hill was just too less for this race.
Even Van Avermaet with 66hill was weak.
Having a better hill stat really is needed in lots of races this season. |

Stage win, Top15 GC and the KoM jersey... More than i dreamed was possible in this race, way to go Matty Lloyd who is making a strong case to be our rider of the season.
Bobridge did as expected. Holloway was impressive yet again

It's not just his hill stat, his acc is so bad, which hurts him in almost every race... Also Ulanowski fits my team netter as main sprinter
