Mendes being beaten by Weiss and Morabito is kinda weird, but his daily form looked to be not the best through the whole race - which should also be the reason for my team not working throughout the stages.
4th in GC is something I can live with at least.

Nice ride from Chérel to chase back on and just missed out on a Top 10! Really wish Antomarchi was in the break as well

Wrong thread Stromeon 
Bit of a disappointing end to this race. Hochmann could have done a bit better. Rabon's GC ruined by awful AI again, but nevertheless, stage win, 3rd GC, some points in the pocket again, bringing me further up on the rankings

Oops
This was less promising Bravo getting a joint KoM was nice, as well as Weber's surprising sprinting skills on stage 1, but apart from that a race to forget. Thanks once again for the reports tsmoha, there seems to be an endless flow of them!

Well we get a little something here. Razzie followed the right wheel but should have just stuck to it instead of trying to open up. it probably cost us a podium.

Uchima up to 6 is nice. 6-9-11-15-19 is not too bad. Aidis dying in the sprint wasn't the best to see. Regardless, I'm content with the result due to having no expectations coming into the race.
Congratulations to Morabito and team.
And thanks for the fast reports tsmoha, seems like you're reporting about 1000 races currently.

What does blow my mind is how he's beaten by Weiss and Morabito, who have 73 and 72HI. Morabito must be like 2011 Voeckler, but Weiss doing that really goes beyond my imagination. Anyway, congrats to Actavis for probably winning the GC and Gatorade for winning the stage.
We really were after him in the transfer window and expected him to do plenty of these types of moves, which he has done. He did the same in HC races last season. No congrats from me as there ain't no one at Gatorade to congratulate (based on 2 posts this season).
Looked like a race where the break could take the win, and they did. Though the GC winner was unnervingly strong on stage 3 after stage 2 break.
Thanks for yet another race, tsmoha, plenty more to come aswell based on the reporters' thread. 
Mendes not as good in stage races as last season, but still a solid GC. Another top race for Novatek (who most be top 10 in the rankings now) and the big two Indosat - ANZ and Compal - Merida, must be said. |

Have to be happy with that stage. Bauer leading out Matthews way too early I thought, but Matthews had enough energy to hold on to the other sprinters. I'd take Matthews over Lo Cicero any time
GC-wise could have been a lot better, but after selling Zeits, we didn't stand much chance I guess. Thank you for a good quality race tsmoha! |

That went fast
I'm quite disappointed with the lack of effort from Vastaranta. This was supposed to be one of the best races all season for him, but apparently he couldn't be bothered really trying.

Gougeard in the break on the final day, and also made it to the end. I suppose 16th from Cherel isn't too bad considering the strength of some here - Rabon was on form but somehow doesn't come away with the win overall. Well done to Morabito and thanks for the reports tsmoha

A race to forget.
I looked forward to this and expected a lot of action but the last stage's break was the only time we even got mentioned which is just ****.
Luckily this is the one and only not cobbled c2 race. Thanks for the reports though.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

A bad race for us as well, considering these are the races we need todo well in if we want, to be near the top of the standings. 7th GC (how did he drop from. 6th?) isn't enough for that and what happened to Sinkewitz?
Thanks tsmoha.

5th place for Losch in the final stage is something to be very proud of! He is going to be a very good breakaway rider. He just wasn't strong enough to stay ahead today.
Overall nothing happened for the team except Losch in the last stage. Hoping for a better show from the team in Scotland.

Can't believe it. A win!!! Thanks for the reporting which was, as usual, of the highest standard.

Brilliant effort by my Matthews on that final stage. Always nice to see a former rider winning.
Surprised to see Vastaranta so poor. I thought this would be a perfect race for him, but congratulations to Kagemusha and Actavis. Huge win.

No worthy GC and an better hilly leader wouldn't have made me unsure about relegation.
I think we only get some 9-12 points from here and that is not okay :/

As expected no points for us in the last stage - but nice to see Belka in the break once.
Already said, I'm not really sure about what to think of this 4th overall - Mendes should really start bringing home points if we want to go up the standings.

whoops a bit late but nice to see loanee Mager take an 11th place on the last stage. Pretty happy with Delage's 13 place but apart from that it was a very quiet race for our team |
