Very well done by Berhane. Not very visible but getting the job done and grabbing a fine 4th overall

Why doesn't PCM like my climbers? I wonder how the fuck does Guillen hang in for a mountain stage in Bulgaria, but Torres, can't hang for an easy hilly stage.. I just can't get it.
Too lazy to look it up right now, but I guess Guillén took benefit from his green jersey (aka being positioned at the very front of the bunch, that didn't go into pieces on that climb)... hilltop-finishes can be bitches, feel sorry for you here. Especially as I forgot to mention his further gaps in the report

P.S.2 I already said in in reporters, but I <3 you. Thanks for fast and quality reports 
Liked the look of that Croatian Jersey, too. That's why this screen made it into the report eventually!
And thanks

Very nice point haul in a race without Abal, Ventoso, or Plaza.
Thanks for the reports tsmoha and congrats Alakagom.

I was not expecting this at all... what a fantastic stage for the team, Paulinho with his first big result of ManGame, and what to say about Gerdemann... Major attack to give everything and to achieve the unthinkable.. In the end this was a good race for the team, 1 podium and 3 top10 of stage, top10 GC and 2 in the top 25..
Once again congratulations to the usual suspect and a big thanks to tsmoha for the great work he has done lately

Great reporting, i enjoyed the race as the spectator only.
I have a slight suspect that Quickstep steals all the luck from other teams, incredible season for Marquez. Congrats Alak

Nice reports, thanks Tsmoha! 
I'm not very impressed with Augustyn who didn't perform in the mountain stage and lost time on the flat (he's got 76FL). And he was also incognito in the final hill stage. I really expected more from a guy who's very similar to Berhane. I didn't expect a top 5, but I thought a top 10 was realistic - not 30th. At least Ngue Ngock had a good ride to take the win. He's a very handy breakaway rider win 74Hil and 67Spr. I think we deserve that after losing out narrowly on breakaway wins quite often.
Must admit I was happy to see Berhane sneak into the top 5 there.

Quickstep really making a move for the divisional title at the moment. No surprise of course with Alakagom showing a couple of years ago he knows so well how to get the best out of his riders when winning the old CDiv2. (Boy did I get tired of seeing all those Het Nieuwsblad riders packing the top twentys)
... and of course he has some sort of lucky charm

Dropping to ninth isn't the ideal finish there, another below-par performance from Samwel. Sooner or later he needs to start performing, as the team needs him to contribute more than he's currently doing.
Thanks for the reports tsmoha. |

A stage win and 3th isn't to bad, but normally Inxausti is 3th behind Brajkovic and Pozzovivo, so with both of them not being there, it's a shame he couldn't do better on the mountain stage.
Thanks for the reports tsmoha, and congrats to Alakagom!

Stage 1 didn't really go our way with Giaux losing the wheels of the best train.
Who cares though as Nerz really puts one of the best performances of his season right when needed! Massive result and white as a nice bonus there. As always, hilly stages are not his particular cup of tea though...
Stage 3 and again the same issue we've had all season long: we don't go in breakaways :/
...which luckily changed on the final stage. Good job by Chevrier and also by Kelderman who kinda does what I took him here for. Sadly those points are lost again with Nerz losing two spots and the jersey...shouldn't have happened.
All in all, a really good race though considering the startlist. Also, Marquez is seriously OP!
