Great reports Cio, enjoying the race. Nice to see us looking active and winning the KoM so far. Nice win by Bellis of course.
Can't quite believe that after this race CSC might end up loosing points to Repsol, what a disastrous race for them, though for sure with Costa they would save themselves this race, looks it will go to the Barrio in Japan to determine that.

Good stage for Rothaus and UPC, not so much for CSC. They look the relegation favourites at the moment, and will have to do something special in Japan! |

Riders looking for new contracts suddenly with a great performances. Can't complain about PCM being unrealistic.

I can't believe it either. It started so well. What happened?!?
Also Costa will be going to Japan as well.  Fingers cross for a 1-2.

This was nice.
Good to see that Bellis takes a win here. Brings me some good points. Also Iglinski with a nice sprint.
Was actually really afraid when he celebrated early and guys were coming from behind.
Bellis Top15 at least in GC now. |

Now to avoid any trouble for a last time and secure this Top-10 for Jiao after a ridicolous invisible race from the Oz

A bit nothing but as long as Vansummeren can hold on during the next stage I guess that will do. It will be interesting to see who takes the final stage, because it looks hand-made for Bellis.

Looks like Sram-Riboxx are going to bow out of the game with a pretty comprehensive race. Looking forward to updating the rankings after the final stage later, some unexpected teams scoring well here.

Got a nice amount of points here, even with Flügel dissapointing. Will be interesting to see the gaps before Japan Cup

Won't complain about grabbing 7th in GC after being one of the most invisible teams in the race. A bit disappointing "efforts" by Lloyd (in particular) and Visconti though. And no breakaway appearance at all. But the season will come to an end soon and this result by Jiao might finally have officially sealed the deal (of staying PCT)!
Thanks for the quality reports, cio!

Got to be quite happy about that, second on the first stage and Acevedo getting 14th in the overall, should have picked up some valuable points. I just hope it's enough, it could be a very nervous wait for the japan cup.

Fingers crossed here as well. A decent sprint from Feillu and 10th from Vansummeren may be enough. Thanks for the reports cio.

We aren't a hills team. We've never been a Hills team. So 12th in the GC, 1st in the KoM, 4th in the Points and a stage podium in a HC race is huge for us. Well done Koretzky and Rocchetti
Thanks to cio for some top quality reports. |

Bellis? Wtf?
Count, speak with your guy, Gautier. 
But even after coming back he again lost 5min! So not even a top30 in GC in a race, I thought he might be winning.
Horrible way to finish the season. |

A bit disappointing from Taborre in the end, given the head start the crash gave him. Annoying that he sat around and did nothing on the Badaling stage, while others with similar stats finished with the front group. Pretty clear that he's not good enough to be a leader.
Thanks for the coverage, cio!

Man do I love Koretzky - I'm really looking forward to seeing him in the PT. He's super aggressive, and often it brings points for his team.

Catching up right now.
Quite disappointing by Lorenzetto, not a single podium. But in the end it was enough and that's what counts.
