Terrible what is going on with Machado?? 21 minutes lost where he should recover to his rivals, he wasn't even supported I don't know who is supposed to be the leader at this point. Pantano with a great stage but no real gains from it, oh well let's hope this was an isolated fluke

Meintjes losing time at the end sucks, so I hope he is active in tomorrow's stage to gain some time back, a top 5 is still in reach but its unlikely

We've got 2 in the top 15 of the GC and the youth jersey currently, hopefully we can hold that to the end of the race whilst still appearing in breakaways.

Crazy result for any team there, never mind an Amateur one. I guess some of them may have been able to not relay and save energy, perhaps Riabushenko too for Popo.

Great breakaway result for Pogi and Stoenchev. But our goal is Halvardsholm to secure the KoM jersey which will secure us back-to-back KoM wins in Catalunya.

Looks like only a few teams cared about this stage and we did not

If I was jph I wouldn't be sure whether to celebrate, laugh or cry! 
Annoyed we didn't take the opportunity of the GC losses to join the breakaway, Areruya or Higuita in their U25 race could have benefitted (especially as they are now behind a few breakaway riders and Higuita may not make it back up, especially on Pogacar).

That was... bizarre. Yet, also kind of expected. Happy the team didn't use up too much effort to chase because we need all hands on deck for the final stage. This is why you get paid the big bucks Tenorio.

Haha, I knew Riabushenko would be a good rider! Didn't expect him to do anything this season though
Like how my team has turned from being afraid of breaks to winning from them all of a sudden

Shame the break made it again, or else Kuboki would have had a great result.

Really weird race for us. Seibeb obviously having 2 great days on both mountain stages, but either riding GC after losing a lot of time in the TTT and then going into the break on the last stage, where there was always more chances that the favourites battle for the win. Not really making much sense there
16th GC is a good result, but not what we wanted from this race. Kreder was also nowhere to be seen.
Thanks for all the reports Tamijo and congrats to Mresuperstar, Tenorio getting the job done

What an awful awful race for us. We lose time, we screw up stage wins, Bennett nowhere to be seen and nobody tries for any breaks after the GC losses. Areruya getting a few points the only moment of any note.
Congrats to Mre, Tenorio doing as he should which is pleasing to see for him. Thanks Tamijo, great reporting as ever (and the quantity is amazing!)

Immensly satisfying to see my team race like this in races where the great Pluchkin is not active. No luck for Artem or Zouzou this stage, but close enough again.
Can't help having mixed feelings though with Tanovitchii missing out on green and Padun having a very disappointing race.

Congratulations to Mre! Had to have expected that result before the race and Tenorio definitely delivers. I am thrilled with the result for Schelling - 2nd place is 5-10 positions better than I could hqve possibly expected.
