Denifl with a decent performance so far in his home race, a podium is still within reach. |

No one would've predicted Poljanski to be 4th at this stage. Fantastic stuff!
67 TT is nothing to brag about and a 24km TT will definitely pull us down to the lower Top 10 spots, but I hope this is enough to keep that Top 10 spot. At this point I had given up on training Poljanski, but after this I might consider doing that depending on our final placement in the rankings.
Thanks for the reports tsmoha thus far

Really disappointing for Garby, but that's life with 70 hill. The gaps were bigger than I expected, which means all GC hopes are pretty much gone with the TT still ahead. Hoping one or both of the guys can stay in top 15 at least. That would be a success now. I can't be mad after stage 2 in any case, so I'll take it.

Wtf Barguil Wtf Barguil Wtf Barguil 
I mean, i can understand that he had a +3 day (he's a leader, so +3 is max) and he dominates in the hilly finish, but that he attacks in the flat!!  with 17 kms to go, then attack again at the base of the hill and againi to finally escape from the group is... wow, no words  
Also, amazing performance so far for Poljanski

Pity that the first break was reeled in, so a nothing day for us. Hopefully a new break tomorrow and some fresh legs for the TT.

Hiratsuka doing well in case Shikai loses all his chances, which looks like what he's trying to do.

Great stage for Brajkovic, I was very happy when I saw him that active on the hill: this was always going to be the crucial stage of the race (turned out it wasn't, but well), and we delivered perfectly this time. A Top 5 is back in reach!

ey ey, with a training you get him out of the hopeless 77 zone, so it should be rewarded more than any training elsewhere

Oka our best placed rider at 92nd....
I can't remember ever having such a week performance in a Compal-race
Hopefully we can pick some minor points at the time trial, but this race shall be forgotten quickly! |

I really should stop hoping for Peeters to ever win a sprint for me.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Would've liked to see us in the break, but as it ended up in a sprint anyway, I guess it's fine.. Hopefully we can grab some points in the TT now.
Congrats to MOL on the win!

Good try from Lavoine, wonder if he could've won if he'd decided to pull into a better position than sticking to the outer edge of the road, but good to see that still can take those luxury points once in a while

How?  Giaux as expected a no show, but who'd I be questioning that anytime?

Horrific effort from the team in the road stages. The highlight being our worst rider attempting but failing to get in the BOTD.
One rider inside top 50 but with some luck maybe 2 in top 50 after the TT.
It baffles me why the AI doesn't send riders from a team with no real options in the break at least...
Looking at Paillot and Pökälä to salvage something.

2nd for Hayakawa is definitely a nice result, although I was definitely rooting for Nonaka a bit more...
