Shame to see another great sprint from Rowe ruined by being behind the break. Now for the big decider tomorrow

Very nice to see some Campari/Asahi jerseys today, also avoiding what could have been a 0-pointer here.
Thanks for the Report

Back to frustration, losing a stage win and probably the green jersey. Rowe better win tomorrow's stage so I don't have to be frustrated over that 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

If Vantomme ends up being a backmarker sprinter, maybe joining the break would've been a good idea

Just as I feared, Appo wastes his race days, just like always.
Need a big performance from VSB tomorrow, and still it probably wouldn't be enough from this race at this point.

Not sure what happened on Stage 1. Just a crazy race in general, the time gaps suggest it was the most difficult race on the calendar.  Not sure how all my riders lost so much time considering how other terrible riders placed so high up. Really frustrated with the result tbh. Surprised no one else has really complained but how in the world does Lo Cicero beat riders that are much better on both cobbles and hills, it just makes absolutely no sense. Seems like it was completely random result outside of the Top 2 or 3.
Atleast Itami stops this race from being a 0 pointer for us on stage 2.

Clement Lhotellerie paying out for his somewhat steep transfer price , saving some points from a race where Ricardo Ferreira failed.
Thanks for the report(s)

And Vantomme still manages to disappoint me even further.
Pathetic we did not send at least one rider into the break, Zepuntke's late attack was also very much for the show. Marcos and Albert once again salvaging the GC results.
Thanks roturn for the reports. Congrats Andorra on the overall victory!

We came here looking for a Top 10 in the GC and end up squeezing into it at the end. The stage results left a lot to be desired though. Some points from the support staff is a bonus. I hope this will be the start of trying to fight against relegation at least.
Thanks for the reports roturn. And congrats to Andorra and YJ on the win!

A dissapointing finale for the neutral but absolutely stunning for us. 2 in the top 5 is beyond our wildest dreams for this race, and Rowe repeating his points classification win from last year (tied with Zabel of course) is sweet too. This is the race which might get us into positive chances of him being able to make it a 3peat next season, though I shouldn't get ahead of myself  Long season ahead but a big result here. Thanks a lot for the great and consistent reports roturn, and congrats YJ on the GC win

Congrats to YJ and thanks for some great reports. Disappointing to see no fireworks on the final stage, but it was probably to be expected.
I can't be unhappy with VSB here at all. 3rd in this field is a good result and he did it without much stress. He's been rock solid this year, and has made me glad I kept him.
But Appo's failure has made the race not very great for us overall. We were counting on a big points haul here to gain ground, and all we probably got was enough to keep pace because of his continued lack of success. Sprints have been ridiculously frustrating for me this season, and it's blood boiling to see him constantly be in perfect position, launch too early, and finish ten spots behind. He and AKA refuse to adjust to PCM 18.

Van der Haar! Nice to end the race on a high after some performances that haven't lived up to my expectations on the earlier stages.
Thanks for the reports, Roturn!

Just a terrible race. Really unsure how all 3 of my potential point scorers were beaten by many far inferior riders, in what should have been a decent race for us, especially seeing some of the top scoring teams here. I think we came away with about 15 points from this race, and it really should have been closer to 40
Nevertheless thanks for the reports.

Hmmm so we didnt win the KOM in the end, thats disappointing... Still a 2nd and 4th place stage finish results are not too bad at all, Fenn losing GC hopes on stage 1 and not being able to recover something in the last stage certainly hurts a little...

Got caught up on this race. I'll take a stage win and the points jersey for Zabel.
