Decent first week from us, Van Poppel doing wel and Wellens being awesome once again.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Just been catching up and nice to see how the guys have been doing. 6th Overall in the Giro is great for Jakob and Ivar has been riding well for Velosure.

Not happy until now. Stage wins are not coming yet and the cobbled stage was disappointing. There is a lot too improve...

You should have swapped him for Sagan when you had the chance

Brave riding by Thomas so far but I would like to see more breakaway action. It can't just be up to Simon Yates.
Ben Swift still the biggest waste of space in the WT sadly.

Contador doing good but he's missing out on numerous occassions against Froome and Quintana, so 3rd is reasonable so far. I hope we get there soon though that he puts time into them. Best team so far is good.
I'm always happy to help you with some races bikex.

Amazing first week by Quintana. I didn't expect a stage win that early in the race. Also a win in a nice fashion with Martin being zabeld by an inch 
Now he has to defend the yellow jersey, but it`s going to be a hard task since all three top contenders showed their strengths with their stage wins. The 45 km time trial on stage 10 will probably cause an other change in the leaders jersey. But after that I hope that Quintanas recovery advantage slowly kicks in.

Froome almost a minute back on Quintana after 6 stages was pretty freightening, but at least he could get some time back on stage 7.
Nizzolo is taking some points by finishing in the Top10, so that justifies bringing him instead of more mountain domestiques as they don't count in PCM
Devenyns constantly finishing in front of the stronger climbers Pimenta and Losada is kinda weird 
Really looking forward to the fight between the favourites for the podium places.

Fantastic cobbled stage win for us. Just like ICL1 we hold the yellow jersey for a good number of days early on in the race.
- Hopefully Contador can be allowed to slip away and make it an interesting GC fight, but I doubt it. Porte, a la Giro, looks likely to miss out on GC places to lesser riders....
- The TTT win is still on the cards and a fluke breakaway win is all we need for our 3 stage wins now.

4 stages added. An exciting 10 stages are remaining.
The battle for every jersey is very open, except maybe the white jersey.

Thomas is immense.
Still waiting for one of my guys to actually try and get a stage win.

Well he wasn't allowed, but he makes it a great GC fight anyway!

Strong winds on the coast having a huge influence on the result. Especially benefiting late starters.
As if Froome needs any more help! A shame as Wiggins looked in great knick. Massive shame for Liberty Seguros about losing a rider for the TTT. Does make a Prorace win more likely though!
After taking yellow and an active stage 9 this tour is shaping up to be another good one for us. We do need one of the big three to DNF to get a GC podium though. |

Sagan with the first win and currently in the obligatory point jersey so we are back on track. I want more though...

I was making the becker fist when I saw that Contador was one freaking second ahead of Froome after that TT but the abandoment of Jesus Herrada hurts us really, really big time. He was riding a great race so far, around 20-25th GC and could have taken some much needed points for himself along the way. Honestly, this just sucks for the TTT, just my type of luck... 
Very impressed by the team so far, finally we can play a bit the team card, that's what made us so strong last year.
Thumbs up for intXausti, he's in some dauphine form right there.

Goosie does it again! Wellens still looking good, top 10 might not be entirely impossible.
