I don't like that Lejman was in the break today...
Good to see Berard in the Top 10 today, making sure we get points each day ^^
Now let's see Drujon dominate the sprints, however Zielinski for the points jersey is interesting ^^

I like how Lowe and Gilanipoor look, but I am very disappointed and worried about Dyachenko's form, as he is our best chrono man, and would be a good bet for the overall. Sadly, he lost so much time I think he's almost out of contention now.
Thank you for yet another great report tsmoha. |

Seeing that Signorini is not getting dropped on 3 hill stages, then wins the mountain stage with his one dimensional stats, he is a damn good buy at 75k wage.
Really did not see this one coming here as those kind of climbers (Mobil 2014 *cough*) did absolutely underperform and always got dropped. Same with Krasnoperov this year. Probably only good in CT, but if I had known I should have gotten him as cheap domestique as well. 
Koep with a fantastic performance. Really enjoyed to see him in those screens. A pity that he just missed bonus seconds. But as 16th now and a long TT yet to come, he is in a good position. If only he wasn`t dropped on 1st stage. |

Strong performance by both Kasa and Hirt 
Though bad luck strikes again. A stage win for Kasa would have been pretty cool.
Still, I can't complain as I didn't expect Hirt to be up that high in the GC. Hopefully he can maintain that.

Now that's a great ride from Koep! Shame he got dropped, but he's still in a great position now going forward. If he can mark every else and pass the fallers, then the TT should land him in a nice place. Also very nice to see Schoffmann being aggressive in these breaks!

Nice surprise after last day of exams 
Unfortunate though that Signorini is my leader and not Nieve. Must be higher OVL/AVG. He's gonna need an hour going into that final TT.
@ roturn: Another performance like this and he'll be well worth that indeed. Only brought him in to chase the occasional stage seeing as though his other stats aren't too glamorous, but now I'm very confident he can win for us in Java later in the season.

Thorsen delivers again, this double act works well, our first win of the season, a gamble when I first signing but what a signing her is proving to be in his second year with the team

Slightly disappointed with Drujon missing the podium :/ However still quite funny that Zielinski took 2 points in his solo sprint xD

Stage 5 was pretty bad, but we did quite well on stage 4 except for Novak loosing a bit of time but novak in 9th and hardy in 5th isnt too bad! |

Pretty massive team fail on the mountain stage, yes Soler's looking alright in the GC atm but at least one of Godoy, Orozco and Weber should have been able to finish in the front group with him, not 3 minutes back

BBL rage incoming in 3...2...1...
Signorini
With 69 hill he should have been dropped on the hilly stages
But he doesn't lose time,comes and wins the stage to take the lead |

I already posted, and there's really nothing to be said. I get to the very end of a report and "Oh, your team leader is gone from the race, btw".
It's beyond words and just a stupid waste of 12 race days now.

Tour of America flashbacks there .... pass me the bottle....
Thorsen taking a win and a big GC favourite going home. Yeah, stage 3 of the Tour of America all over again. Terrible result for bball, I hope De Maar's win is still fresh in his memory - though that ain't much of a consolation. |

Big sorry for this way to report on a DNF. Unfortunatelly, PCM doesn't offer a crash sequence when a rider just quits a race during the stage. So, tbh, I didn't even notice this DNF. With shorter reports in general, it's then quite tricky to place it anywhere else. At least you should be remembered, that it's always worth to read the full report 
But yeah, it's something I always hate to report. Guess there's no "best way" to report on thus things happening. It's truly shit no matter if placed in the middle, the end or the beginning of a report

Yeah, I know there's no animation, an it isn't your fault the DNF happened. It just sucks. And I'm in a bad mood.
At least you noticed it, or it would have been really awkward int he coming stages.

Another Top 10 finish for Thire, who was signed as a Secondary Sprinter, but is now ultimately the team's best one. Nice to have a man in the break again, and let's hope we can pick up something from the final stages. Chaabane only needs a big day in the break again to be in contention for the KoM jersey
