Nice 7th from Rabon, but in the end worth nothing, as he lost a minute earlier, when doing sightseeing tour instead of riding the race. 
Nice report, thanks for that and congrats to DiMaggio!

Becerra lost time and went down to 26th place... Let's go back to PCM11 or PCM10, shall we? |

That's better. Finally Froome does something that reflects his stats. Although bit perplexing he had no energy whatsoever at the end, good he kept up though. I can take 2nd in GC for amount of race days here.
Froome will still be fighting, although hard to see past Betancur now. There's points jersey to fight for though. Armee in good position to fight for KoM too as well as Teams Classification.

Feared this stage would be a bit tough for Di Maggio, and it was. GC 4th is still not that bad, even though I hoped for a win in this race.

AMEX is holding it together. 3rd in the team classification with Taborre 9th, Barredo 17th and Mehr-Wenige 24th still looking to gain GC points.
Stage 6 looks ripe for a breakaway winner. Hopping Carlos Barredo and/or Jan Dieteren can find a way to get in the days break.
The final stage TTT should be very interesting to see the time gaps. A strong TTT team could rake in the points with a big effort.

Are you sure it`s a TTT?
No TTT sign there.
I guess it`s only a very short last flat stage for the sprinters similar to the Adelaide criterium in the Tour Down Under. |

No real point in my team being here just lacking everything in race. |

3rd and the Points jersey look possible from here, which is great considering I thought the race would be too Mountainous for Gautier.  |

Weening woke up!  Love to see him attack like that and it resulted in a big climb in GC.

Waste of race days for us, sadly like 90% of Metinvest season so far.
Thanks for the report!

I didn't expect anything out of this race but we've managed to steal the KOM jersey, and with no categorised climbs left on the final stage we'll get to keep it.
This race is far more of a success then I thought it would be, well done Pranata

Sorry about the delay of the last two stages. At least I can promise that you won't have to wait quite so long for another stage again...

Exciting stage. The end was slightly anticlimactic though.
Decent ride by Steegmans.

Damn you Davis! Really needed a win here to leave the Tour in a happy frame of mind. Efimkin was just a little too low down in the GC imo.

Nice to see Pranata showing off his newly won KOM Jersey despite there being no points available on the final stage. The team now has a little break before our next race so hopefully this will inspire them to come back from it more focussed and ready to score some bigger points.

Thanks Atlantius for the reports, very nice read and made me realized again how fun man-game really is!
Anyhow, good tour for us. 2nd and 10th GC. Points Jersey, 3rd Kom and 2nd Teams. Could have been even better, but definitely a nice scorer for us.
