Nice to get a home win from the home team, especially when it somehow protects my yellow jersey 
It's a shame that Ahlstrand doesn't get better support, but hey there are still 3 stages left!

Well that was almost a very bad mistake by the sprinters.  Congrats Dippofix!
Looks like Thorsen could beat Vantomme now, or at least he's only a couple seconds off the top 5. 
Thanks for the report Matt!

Silly finish. At least Lo Ciceros consistency (!) sees him climb to GC 2nd

Meh, still in the GC top 5, which is good, but I want to see my riders...

Uhm sure PCM got even that covered in an entirely sprinter race. At least Van der Sande's usual rest day after a good result didn't mean he would lose a chance at a win this time around.

That was a strange stage
Seems like the team has decided that 2 stage wins is enough and we won't lead out Vantomme anymore or help chase in the pack, Can't really complain though given how great he was at the start and 6th was decent today anyway.
Thanks for the report Matt and congrats Stromeon!

No Thorsen update? You disappoint me! (joke!)
At 7th place in the KOM standings this could be one of the better races for Stobart this season! |

Awkward stage. Óscar seems to be keeping his cool, but didn't look so strong today. Lo Cicero looks threatning now...
Ahlstrand's bad luck continues to thrive too...
Thanks for another spicy report matt. That hill was very silly indeed!

Dropping seriously in the GC and not being up the front today, he disappointed me!

Cool to see Neilands getting some wind on his nose. Cool but weird...
Almost there for Lo Cicero today. Wonderful to see how he is one of the most consistent riders in the peloton after all the bad.mouthing he have had to live through!
Sad to see Ahlstrand so unimpressive though.

Will be alot of these 'weird, messed up leadouts' me thinks with all the different top sprinters trying to form a train.
Some success for Guarero at last! Almost funny (sorry viking) to see all the top guns gettting a win or two except for the biggest favourite.

Yep, we've definitely given up, fingers crossed we can just hold onto our top 5 now.
More worrying though is Thorsen, having a terrible stage and losing 5 minutes and any position in the GC.
Congrats fjhoekie and thanks Matt!

What the F*** was that? Pökälä as lead out?? Were they out on the pub all night and decided that would be a laugh???
Milk only from now on. No more Guinness!

I'm considering to buy a team full of Konovolovas duplicates, it just shows how bad my season has been so far...
