meh
Why you no sprint Krieger? You are one of the top sprinters here...
Well done Count. Your sprinters slowly deliver and found the speed.
But seeing Bennett in 3rd, I feel Krieger should have been in the podium mix as well.
Now the long TT. Win and race lead please. Without Schädlich, it`s Keizer only unfortunately. |

Bennet 1
Krieger 0
Good to have started well in Bennett's main fight this season (well, beside actually winning a stage), also very happy with the train. Three in the top 10 is surely nice on a flat stage, and could happen a few times more since I sent those guys to a lot of a similar races.

Bascially a transport stage, but nice to see benito showing signs of aggresion.
What happened with Landa btw, a puncture I probably? Not that it matters anyway but if he can't even follow on the easiest flat stages Im getting worried for the rest of the season..

Apparently, I did miss to mention it  But I'm pretty sure he had a fall (not sure in which stage though, since it's been a while that I reported this race).

Happy Dario Cataldo made it into the top 10... sadly he's surrounded by a group of strong TTlers. Exciting race so far, looking forward.

Huge result for us, 2 stage wins in a race where you come just to stage hunt.
Boeckmans' first win for us too, which is nice.

Awesome! Nepomnyachsniy is proving he was worth the investment, hoping he can hold on now, 5th would be better than any GC last year if I remember correctly 
Kashechkin also moving up a place is good, he should be able to stay within the points
Athanasiades once again shows his stats undervalue him, 27th in this TT is great for him.
Tzortzakis disappointing for Bonsucro, still has a lot to learn.

Well done Keizer. I also loved how you did the split tables in the end. Made a great slow scrolling down.
It`s still very close as I fear Machado will steal that GC on the final stage...let`s hope the leader jersey makes Keizer match everyone.
Aru/Olivier could possibly climb a bit on that stage.
The trio should at least be able to keep the lead in the team rankings as I would be disappointed otherwise. Point lead is nice bonus as well. |

Rujano should pass Nepo for 5th. The only thing is if Marquez can stay ahead. |

Really great TT by the team except Intxausti the way the game is this year it feels like randomfitness is on even when its off:/ because daily form is that powerful but 3 bad dail forms in a row is rough:/ |

Great TT by Brajko now, hope he will perform like this on every future TT-stage aswell. Bit sad to miss out on the podium now, but kinda expected to only keep 4th place after that shit-poor performance on the hilly stage.
Now to make it all good with a stage win and a podium on the on the final stage

Well done Contador!
I though he might put a bit of time into Machado and he did, great TT. 3rd place and with a great chance of taking the GC on the final stage. All about the final mountain top finish now. |

Abal sucks...  It's me or there is a sense of randomness floating in every race. What I see is that it doesn't win the best rider but the one that fails less... the final GC is an average of good and bad days...
I hope at the end of the year everything is compensated or we can get in troubles... :S

WTF is wrong with Kiserlovski. I understand that there is heavy competition in the race, but at least a Top10 should've been doable for him. Having troubles to get into the top 30 is just not acceptable. Moving up to 20th after the time trial upped my hopes a little that it was just bad luck in the first mountain/hilly stages. I hope in the last mountain stage he can show that my trust in him was justified. To see Nepomnyachsniy in 5th is for sure nice for fjhoekie but it kind of sucks for me as it was about either signing him or Kiserlovski in the transfers. I decided for the latter because of the MO stat, but being 4 minutes behind Nepo shows that it might have been the wrong decision.
Boonratanathanakorn's stage win kind of makes up for Kiserlovski's failure though. It's always nice to see a Thai rider winning and Thurakit is always good for that with his fighter stat. Same counts for Sirironachai who was also in the break already this race. |

Well, we pretty much got what we could ask for. Hope Maillet and even Cataldo can improve their position in the final stage. Happy with the second TT top10 by Michael Schär, he's making a much better impression as most of last year.

Another good result for Bookwalter with another podium, but more importantly Kwiatkowski put in a great ride to stay in the GC top-10 and if he can stay there on the final stage we should be guaranteed some decent points from this race. |

This was shit...not because of Keizer. Expected this to be honest.
But it's not acceptable that Aru and Olivier did nothing at all. Not even defending team ranks.
Thanks for reports but other than Keizer this was awful. |
