Finally done seeing Lo Cicero disappoint...
At least Manninen defends the youth jersey despite his time loss today.

That was the second worst ride the Netia team have ever done, we have the perfect riders for the sort of stage in Reckweg and Bernas, yet Vantomme was left to fend for himself.
In the end however, that was a good stage for our relegation fight.
Now we just have to wait and pray, there's going to be millimetres in this between us and Valio.
Thanks Jandal and Abhishek for all the nice reports and congrats to D2B on the win!

Big Time work from the Isostars to at least finish 18th+ here. Some solid GC points I guess!?

Somehow gaining a GC position, despite the consistent run coming to an end. Good race for Van Heerden.
That final time gap really wiped out the breakaway time gainers!
Congrats to thos that did well, Cavendish with the win, Guerao bouncing back, and also Goss taking victories, rather than his sometimes seen tendency to not even sprint.

Finally in the top 10, that was important. 14th in GC is decent and combined with SKA doing okay and Wurtz in the KoM it's at least some points.
Thrilling contest for the GC win!

Glad this sh*t is over, if I were closer to the relegation battle I'd throw my computer out of the window. Thanks jandalLFC/Abhishek7 for the reports and congrats Kraftwerk!

Wow a second place is actually a decent result in the end, and a GC top-10 helps too

Thanks for all the congrats and to Abhishek and jandal for the reports, I really though Cav had blown it in that last sprint
Great work by the team to keep Cav in a good position, lots of our rival sprinters were not so lucky.
Kraftwerk are having a strong finish to the season, could we make our top 10 goal?

Cavendish always seems to beat Guerao :/
Still happy Guerao still could turn the race around. I already feared the worst after the first stage. A stage win and GC podium isn't too bad, especially compared with some other elite sprinters.

Congrats on the win, don't take it personally but I hope you won't.
If we lost 300 points to your team our last month truely would have been terrible.
I still have little hope left we can stay ahead of Meji and Eritel to get that precious 10th place. Indosat has moved past us for sure now with another great race for them. |
