Very good by Buchmann. Now everything is possible!
That defends sending him here, really, really happy right now!

Terrible effort from Nepomnyachsniy in a time-trial that should by all accounts suit him 
GC chances are ruined now, we need breakaways in the next 2 stages to salvage something from this race.

That's pretty much all Oomen needed to do today, now he just needs to hang on.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Chad! Finishing second to Gesink even exceeds my wildest imaginations. Looking good for a GC top ten!

Sick. At least Bernal showed something of his potential today.
Crushing win for Gesink, congrats Gustav!

Another good stage from Gallopin, but obviously very hard for him to advance in the GC due to the time gaps yesterday. It's all about defending a top 15 in the GC now and trying to grab a stage win on one of the last two stages

Strong TT from Borisavljevic! 3rd on the stage from him was definitely not expected and hopefully he can ride well in the final stages to hold onto that 6th in the GC.

Thrilled to hold onto the podium spot, now just need to hold that place. Most worried about Ooman sliding up during the bigger climb on the final day, going to need good legs.

This stage went as smooth as we could have hoped for. Let's see if the next two work out as well though as Gesink will need to be his own support team.
Thanks, beagle!
Thanks as well, cunego. Your reports can't receive enough praise. Great quality!

Yates doubling up makes me excited. First win wasn't a fluke and his offseason training is paying off. Shame his GC spot got wrecked on Stage 3 & 4. But the future looks increasingly brighter for the Brit.
Thanks for the report!

Claeys is a lost cause at this point, but glad the game is smart enough to realize Haga is team leader now. One more stage to secure a top ten.

Not a bad result for 3rd from Ulissi there.
Going to be a tough final stage. Ulissi has a lot of time to make up if he is to get a good GC while Borisavljevic is going to have to put in a huge effort to maintain his 6th in the GC.
Good luck to all!

Strong performance again from Borisavljevic!
7th on the stage to confirm his 6th in the GC is a really strong race from him. His well-rounded ability proving to be a good formula here.
Ulissi somewhat disappointing but his time was gone after the ITT anyway so not too worried as long as someone does well for me.
Thanks for the reports, kept with the action well!

Sam Oomen you sexy man, that's how you race! Agressive and effective attacks all over the place. He's really picking up the points Gaviria and Bonifazio are losing.
Congratulations to Duolingo and thank you Cunego for the great reports, you deserve all the praise you get!

Wow, below par the on every stage, but what a terrific TEAM performance on the last stage?! 
Nepomnyachsniy 10th, Gilanipoor 12th and Ablenado 37th on GC is very good
I don't remember the last time we scored pts via the Team Classification #zeroDepth 
Congrats to Gesink on another overall win and thank you Cunego for all the awesome reports
