That looked really good for a long while for Monsalve. Unfortunately he probably overestimated himself a bit and paid the price for that in the last couple of kilometers. An improvement from yesterday nonetheless, and hopefully we can build on this result and get into the top 10 on the next mountain stages.

Another pretty solid day from Quintana. Cant expect much more from him. Great depth rides too. Serry, Shirota and Kratochvila all did quite well and are now in the top 45 of GC I think. Hopefully Serry can keep going for the KOM as well. He did a bit more of that last season, so I was hoping it would continue this year.

Another good day for Tatarinov, cheekily grabbing some KOM points and giving Nerz good support.
4th in Teams is fantastic if we can keep it up.

Another perfect stage!
Really thought Dombrowski was gone when he opened the gap, but Taaramäe fought his way back in a very convincing way. Claiming another stage and also opening the gap to 16 seconds could be key if they continue to follow each other on the final mountain stages too, as that probably means Dombrowski needs to gap him to win the overall.
Must say I'm both hyped and excited for the next mountain stage. If Taaramäe defends there, it looks where promising. As cio, I favour a breakaway and not many gaps among the GC riders on the final day, so stage 5 will be the absolute key, I think. Also, thank you for your congratulation wish, I appreciate that!  |

Denifl jumps up by one place doing nothing, coolio. But the doms need to step up their game and get into top 50 for those sweet depth points. Not getting dropped on both sprint stages would've helped a lot

3rd by Canelon - not the best consolation prize, but I'll take it.

Boivin pulling out the miracles on stage 1 was probably more than I could ask for from this race. Thanks for the reports so far looking forward to the rest.

Thanks for the reports Nemolito.
Godoy in the U25 lead and doing alright, but the luck is just not with Schleck, and that's been two bad stages now after a fairly promising Stage 2.

Well tough to lose time, but in comparison with the rest seems like Quintana hasn't really lost out too much compared to those around him, so not a disaster, but still not ideal. Thought our sprinters would do a bit better though.

We got what we wanted from that flat stage, eventhough there was some drama in the final kilometers. Taaramäe safely through was all that mattered though, which means it's mission accomplished. |

Kind of weird splits among the favourites, but still a good fight going into the last stage. Nesset again with a solid stage, hopefully another one tomorrow.

Nice to see Eenkhoorn getting a day in the spotlight and 2nd place. Hopefully more of these to come in the future

Fantastic win by Hacecky, but a bit worrying that we couldve sacrificed Wellens Top 5 in the GC to get it. Luckily, we managed to get both. Not much seperating us, so I really really hope that Wellens will have more support tomorrow.
This is gonna be a nail biter

Who could've thought I'd be disappointed with Uran finishing fourth because he doesn't pick up bonus seconds? One more stage to defend that position.

A weird stage, but I'll take it!
We showed ourselves and were aggressive, and managed to launch Arndt into a group up the road while keeping everyone else in the peloton.
A shoutout to Madouas at s.t. to most others as well!
Obviously, Arndt would have gained two GC positions had he managed to be just a couple of bike lenghts closer to Quintana, but if we can somehow keep that 6th place tomorrow, I'm extremely happy with this race overall regardless.
And we can still set that as a goal for the final stage, if there's a split over the last climb or there are attacks on the light downhill run-in.

Congrats sgdanny on the breakaway win. Surprisingly good stage from Amador. A podium place is not at all what I expected and worked well to boost him into the top 10!

ugh. and last stage doesn't seem to provide many opportunities for gaps to form. 12th is not good enough I feel like
