Credits to Janiaczyk for a perfect leadout ^^ Now only two stage wins to go ^^
Zielinski should have the points jersey secured

Always been a fan of this race, shame I not racing here this year, surely couldn't go worse than my C1 failures either...
Dat domination for Dunlop though  Their mad luck continues it seems, wonder how long it will last. It also make me miss CT a little 
Also Signorini winning the first mountain test is very interesting, with now the yellow jersey bonus aswelll with +2 on MT on everyone else he might become very hard to stop for the other candidates on the remaining MT stages asleast.
Didn't even think that first mountain test was so hard either, and I would think there are even harder who should suit him even more. He could really turn out to be a real gem this year!
Gawd I miss CT where I actaully stood a chance winning

He's kinda like the mountain Bakari
Congrats again to Fablok. Might just start copy - pasting that now as to save time as you're winning so often!
Good to see Nateghi consistent, some nice podiums,

Nice to see Foliforov in a break. And I really didn't expect Bole to contest in bunch sprints
For one moment I really thought he could finish on the podium or even win in the stage with the speedbumps in the end. But 5th is more than I expected before the race again.

Something tells me that was Nielsen at the end, since Rasmussen was in a group much further back.

Great final sprint by Sonnery! It would have been nice to pick up our first win of the season though. |

Well you can't win them all ^^
Though it's kinda mysterious how Drujon wasn't there...
Zielinski still looking good for the Points Jersey

Another Top 5 for Thire. He is really riding well and beating some much bigger names in the sprints

2nd is really nice from Berard ^^
Janiaczyk is out, which will be a huge loss on stage 12...
Hopefully Sagan can stay in the pack and take a possible podium in the time trial, so we're not done

- Big gaps have opened up now. Novak looks well out of it.
Compal - Merida have really come alive in this race and could finish with two on the podium yet. Watch out everyone else- even sgdanny! |

Chabaane climbs up the KoM standing after another day in the break .It is looking like he is going to be a good contender for that.
By the way, the wrong microjersey was put again Chaabane in the reports

Soler is looking very solid so far, hope he can keep this up and not lose too much in the TT as 5th would be an excellent result. Still several more key days to go though! Rest of the team, despite being pleasantly aggressive (is that even a thing?) are a little under-par I feel. Still, there's always time to change that!

What is this crap, How can the 5th best climber in the race loose 4 minutes on the winner.
Massive failure that stage for us |

This probably would have been fun with Koep, but now it's just a formality of finishing it.
Though it's fun to see that three of my guys have abandoned, but Rasmussen is still here.

Hirt - I'm already loving this guy! Finishing 3rd in that stage with 75 MO seems like a miracle. Please keep up like this.

I would like to go on record that Razzieonly DNF'f today due to break both of his legs going up the final climb.
Anyway, we only have 4 riders left in the race now. Nice try by Ebsen, but after losing our entire sprint train and GC leader, this race has been a complete disaster for us.

Bleh PCM gaps...
Thankfully Weber woke up today after not doing much since his random sprint many stages back. Having two guys in the top 10 would be great, but would require taking quite a bit of time tomorrow on that uphill finish before the TT, although having said that Weber isn't terribly against the clock. Looking forward to the last few reports, keep up the good work tsmoha!
