A brave ride from Atapuma on the last stage in Trentino and it secures him that final podium spot, Very nice 
And a nice start for Keough in Turkey |

*admirschleck - Glad to know you still follow.. thanks.
*sutty68 - No stage win but he really rode well there... . About Turkey, we hope to achieve a final GC top3 with Acevedo..
Stage 2
Another flat stage with another win from  S.Modolo... from our side, both  Keough and  Haedo finish inside top10.. good stage.
__________________________ " __________________________
Stage 3
Next stage will probably decide overall winner but all depends how peloton will react with any break atempts..

*Batista15 - Thanks, nice to see you here.
*sutty68 - Thanks mate, our aim is top3 as said before so we will try to achive that.
Stage 3
We start 3rd stage leading the pack towards 1st kom sprint, some riders struggle already..
After the sprint, B.J.Maynes attacks...
With 3´59"gap behind Maynes,  G.Brenes leaves the pack behind with 9kms to 3rd kom sprint..
At the top, Maynes can only watch how fast Brenes goes uphill.. this result will make him kom leader...
With the fast pace from peloton, Maynes is about to get caught... Brenes is 1´28" ahead..
With still 38kms to go, G.Brenes decides to wait for the reduced pack...
We reach the final 10kms with  A.Ospina(right side) leading.. J.Acevedo (-3) is protected by Brenes..
5kms...  R.Kiserlovski attacks.. Acevedo has to counter.. F.Duarte reacts too..
3kms.. Kiserlovski struggles, E.Chaves was just waiting for this to happen.. Acevedo and Duarte are behind..
Last km... if the stronger are struggling, imagine the weaker ones.. Chaves leads..
.. and wins the stage... he also will take GC lead..

Thanks mate..
Stage 4
Peloton is getting close to the only kom sprint in today´s stage... G.Brenes decides to attack and try to earn 10 more pts..
With Brenes being 1´26" ahead,  V.Isaychev(RVL) attacks from the pack with 1km to the top..
With 62kms to go, peloton is laying a fast pace.. Brenes is almost 5´00" ahead..
47kms, Isaychev is about to get caught... 3´45"gap for Brenes..
32kms.. peloton keeps going, Brenes is insight..
2´24" to Brenes, J.Acevedo starts to push hard at this penultime short and steep hill..
Acevedo attacks.. still 21kms to go, might be too early..
13kms.. R.Kiserlovski and D.Cataldo join up with Janier.. Brenes is 56" ahead.
3kms... Brenes was caught at the descent, Kiserlovski leads infront of Acevedo..
.. and it´s the win for R.Kiserlovski.. E.Chaves might loose his lead today..

Well, that was a brave move by Acevedo, a pity he couldn´t stay in front but second is great, too. |

The last two stages have gone really well for the team with Brenes dominating in the Mountains and Acevedo in to those podium places |

*Batista15 - Thanks.. unfortunally didn´t worked out but like you say, 2nd is good too.
*sutty68 - Thanks.. yes, results are good and the riders are riding great... but it´s not over..
Stage 5
After the start, at the first hill, G.Brenes was leading the pack with an easy pace but that seems it was too much for the rest... 18 riders ride away, almost all top10 riders are here with exception to  P.Voss 9th,  Y.Gomez 6th and  I.Velasco 10th...
Those teams that miss their riders at the front, are making the pace in peloton.. 5´18"gap to E1 and still before kom sprint..
With almost half stage done, Brenes leads the break with R.Kiserlovski always near him.. we manage to keep the gap over the 5´00"min..
36kms... with the road going constantly up and down, 4 riders get droped from E1.. our pace is stable, the gap stays close to the 5´00"min..
25kms.. G.Brenes and P.Mooney are empty, J.Acevedo needs to keep the pace.. 5´43"gap..
While nobody wanted to work, J.Acevedo decides to attack... the group wasn´t expecting this..
Unfortunally they worked hard together and bring Acevedo back..
10kms to go, it has to be now.. Acevedo attacks again..
 C.Evans stays with Janier... F.Taborre 14th GC,  P.Deignan 8th GC and L.Euser 12th GC ( both UHC riders) follow..
They start the final sprint..
L.Euser wins.. great race from Jamis riders... now we have to wait to see how much time will Kiserlovski loose..

Let's say I just stepped out of my character as 'silent follower' 
Good luck in the key stage for GC, keep it up! |

Nice to see all the team working together... great results for Acevedo, even if he doesn't get a stage win, winning GC will be a great presentation card in Europe for its first PCT year...

*kiserlovski01 - Well, i´m more then happy to see that you stepped out..
I think you will like the result from stage 6... .. will post it tomorrow.
*kadtagenero - Hi and nice to see you again here.. .. we are missing stage wins but overall the team is doing great.. Jamis is having an hard time to get wildcards, i think Vuelta is the only where we might get one..
