We did something I guess and Richardson managed to avoid any more time loss. I hope he performs somewhat well in stage 4, fingers crossed

Wops, right. Went a little too fast in the end there for me.

It was nice to see my team try a new tactic and even better to see it result in a stage win. The GC lead is a nice bonus but I doubt we will keep a decent place after the next stage.

Disappointing stage there from the team in general.

Losada best out of the favourites group, looked really strong there.  Great to see the likes of Losada and Paulinho have plenty of energy towards the finish there, as they weren't chasing as they have done so often this season.
With a mass of riders up there in GC ahead of the crucial stage we are well poised. Tactic for stage 4 has to be to attack early with our other favourites following.
Oyarzun is having some race to still be in the top 10. |

Good result in the TTT, but rather quiet on stages 2 and 3. The next one is the crucial one, with a more steady climb, so hopefully Raisin can pull himself into the top 10

Balls. Not much really happened for what is meant to be a Queen stage, and when it did, Nutresa completely absent. Not going to collect very many points from this outing, no presence in the breaks, no presence at the sharp end. Not a lot more to be said.
Thanks to TSMoha for the rapid pace of reporting.

Fuck right off with that
Surprised with the win which was unexpected to say the least, also gives us 7th in the GC, wonder what the sprint stage will bring
and thanks to Tsmoha for the great reporting, good as always

Tiernan-Locke winning, Schurter right up there. Whoever said that was a mountain stage was telling porkies! No complaints from me as I like to see things get mixed up, keeps everything unpredictable and exciting.
Had a feeling there would be a large group coming home together starting somewhere down around 7th, and it did. Now after the crucial stages have passed we have three riders in the top 10, phenomenal.
Really hoping everyone stays upright on stage 5 and we have a sprint finish then we will wrap up this race, which has been terrific for us, with a bountiful points haul.
Great reporting tsmoha and congrats to ryant for that one. |

Well this is the kind of racing I wanted from the team all year
Great to see CHris with another succesful attack putting him on a good place in the GC.
And another good report in deed. Loving the format of the screenshots.

At least the horror of anonimity was gone this stage... Good to see Firsanov giving it a try, getting the lead in the KoM, and showing himself.
How does Bakhin end up being so rubbish all the time with his 73MO though?

Great to see Rodrigues regain yellow! Really hope that the last stage will end as expected as a sprinters stage. |

Arroyo had one really good race and now back to this normal form itsems. Atleast I hope we can hold on to a top five to complete the sponsor at least..

Really hoping for a breakaway win on stage 5 since my GC guys don't have that much of a chance |
