Turns out Appollonio can win when he's in the front rows then! What a day for the Swiss

Pretty much what I wanted to write. Must really be my lucky day.

Too bad but good racing by Strava, Van der Sande coming 3rd is okay too. Baugnies not one to give up easily, maybe he'll have a bigger shot in the coming days still, Actually if he gets some bonus seconds he could jump in the GC a few places hm. Langeveld looks good, the best that can happen to us is actually when Van Asbroeck takes no bonus seconds. Thanks Jandal for the report.

Not even competing in the sprint here Matthews (or any of them) but still pleasing to see Visconti hanging on in the GC peloton. Excited to see if he can climb even more as the days go by |

Oh the last hill was hiding some drama. Nice one from Apollonio. I thought Baugnies was going to take it.
Another good appearance from Avelino. Tomorrow may be his day.
Congrats Vontoboys!

Wow 3 in the top 15 and two in the top 6 hopefully some bonus points at some point here would be the aim and that would help points wise |

Yippie, nice stage win by Van der Sande, getting what Baugnies and Langeveld closely missed. Sweet! I was actually already thinking trek beat us when I read of Vantomme's comeback pheeew - got lucky there.
Also nice that Van der Sane protected Van Asbroeck's GC advancement. Debesay lost 12 secs in the youth jersey is also good, maybe that happens again and Marc Potts can claim the U25 rider jersey for good then. It'd be weird to have the U25 jersey at a botd rider, too imo. Overall great stage for us, thanks for the swift report J7.

Cool to see Kaislavuo in the break with our old rider Cioban.
I'm quite disappointed though that none of my riders even tried sprinting on any of the flat stages so far. Somehow despite that they have managed to place themselves decently in the GC.

Ah finally Van der Sande's time to shine after some close and less close calls throughout the season. He's certainly had his share of bad positioning but once he finds himself in the front positions he can actually contest wins!

4th is not good enough for Van Asbroeck, now he has some pressure for the last stage..
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Hoped for Dzamastagic to survive the first stage and sprint for some quite of result on a flat stage but that did not seem to work.
However, I'm glad to see 3 of my riders at the riders in the +1'06'' group in GC. Especially Meersman sits in a great position in GC proving that he was a quality late pick-up in the last hours of transfers. Another stage without changes in the GC and this race can be counted as a success for us...
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Finally Sobota is interested again! Immediately Vantomme improves with somebody to take him into the final kilometre, unfortunately Vantomme just a bit late so congrats on that Shonak.
Hopefully tomorrow Sobota is at it again,and thanks for the report Jandal!

Thought Matthews had a chance there, but oh well..
Still our italian and russian GC-hopes are the most important for us.
Thanks again Jandal, good sprint! |

Wow, Gatto throwing away a promising GC result without any reason on a stage like that...
Just happy Appollonio is doing so well making it a worthwile stay on his own. 'Come on guy, one more podium for the points-jersey-win!'
Well-earned stage win by Strava, the team has worked hard for this success since day one.

Well we just wasted loads of points by missing a spilt terrible effort by Young and Polanc to miss it good try by Boivon in the sprint again though thanks for the reports |
