Decent from Walker this. A pity that we don't go in the breaks though..

Apart from the KoM and TTT this race has been a whole lot of crap for the team unfortunately.
Anyway, thanks for the enjoyable results as usual

Not a bad final stage there, no lost time and Wang just missed out on back to back stage wins, I'm not going to complain as we got quite a bit out of a race we didnt look like doing well in 
and finally, great reports tsmoha, the speed of them was nice to see as well

By far our worst stage race in the past two months but somehow still managed to score at just over 10PPRD which is a miracle. Other harder races are making up for this though.

Well, not really sure this tour could have possibly gone any worse for us, time to get out of here and try again somewhere else.

Well that was a surprisingly successful race for us, went in hoping that Orozco and Zurita could attack on the mountain stages, but they did absolutely nothing all race (both finishing over 11 minutes down is very disappointing indeed), but Chamorro lit up the race with his Stage 3 attack and held on till the end for a magnificent fourth place in the GC! Finally a bit of breakaway-related luck comes our way
Thanks for the reports tsmoha, great reads as always

Glad to be done with this and still keep the last podium spot atleast. Not the best outcome but still managed to complete the goal(top 5) and score some points atleast! Arroyo needs to step up in the upcomming races though!

Thanks for all the reports Tsmoha, top quality as usual but this time you failed to provide me with any luck  Maybe next time.

Guess the Volta Portugal should make up for this, huh?!
Thanks for the kind words, you all! Have reported on worse races, even though Schurter did benefit from a breakaway here. But it was more like a smart move by Sauber, I guess. With two stronger climbers as GC-threats, sending Schurter into the break of the day on a hilly stage.. huge

We were obviously never going to score big here, so satisfied with 11th in the GC and a second place on the TTT. It does amaze me how my whole team loves wheel sucking, when I'm not even close to have any of the favourites..
Brilliant reports, as ever, tsmoha

Great reports tsmoha.
That was a disappointing Stage 4 for us to say the least, getting dropped quite early, and basically that meant the end for any GC chances. Oh well, at least we showed our colors on stage 5

Nice to get a solid GC in the bag from Chris after some nice agressive riding
Best rider finishing 100th on the final stage
