F***
Kelderman failing hard in 25th in top. But that's game, you have good days and you have bad days. We were unlucky today, but maybe we could come back in the battle for third. Quintana only has Lombardia left.
A little annoying that we crashed out in our most valuable goal race. I don't remember whether there is any compensation for it, but I just hope for it.
Congrats to Nibali, he was looking incredible. Also great to see Sevilla up there again, plus a nice result for Machado for CSC. If Villiers continue to overachieve in every single WT race they race then it may be contention for the Top3 for them as well.

This isnt how i want to get the upper hand back
Great race for me with Locatelli breaking into 11th in GC and Machado winning a stage

Goos with an awesome 2nd place, even if he needed a few crashes and still is 8 minutes down. He looks ready for Le Tour.
Van Poppel on the other hand looks terrible, he has a month left to get back into shape.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Spilak 3rd in the GC, Zubeldia style. Pretty good stuff, and seeing Simek and Petrus attack is cool too.
Kreuziger not yet convincing in Germany though, has to do better.

Hate to see Quintana down Nice cameos from Siskevicius and Appo but not good enough at all, neither from Ospina especially.

Shame about Quintana, altogether a brutal stage, but spectacular views!

Martin with a great ride in Guatemala, shame to see it not becoming a great GC position.

The team continues in an incredible form with really unexpected results... If we keep having these results... nothing will be impossible. Let's keep fighting, Sevilla! |

Tilegren always seems to climb way above his level, but finds other ways to lose time, pretty good for a rider I didn't even mean to sign though.

Grande Vincenzo!
Like I hoped he took the leaders jersey in the TT and then in the mountains he was one level above the rest. Would've preferred him to beat Quintana on the road instead of the race being decided by a crash. Feel sorry for Croatia. I have a feeling the amount of crashes increased this season.
The last mountain stage was pure madness and I think considering the chaos, you did very well with the video to keep the viewers aware of what is going on. 
The 1 second gaps from 3rd to 5th are very ironic. |

Two more stages of Deutschland: https://pcmdaily.c...st_1282799
Spoiler Degenkolb is riding out of his skin in our and his home race. Never expected him to so high up, even having taken the lead after stage 5! The top 2 continue to rule the hills this season.
As far as Guatemala is concerned, we didn't have riders for that race, so 4th place on a stage by a 75 SPR rider is all we could hope for really. Fuji is really important in terms of clawing back some ground, hopefully.

I have posted the first 3 stages of the remaining triple header race, Tour of Mount Fuji: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1282959
There are videos for stage 2(mountains) and stage 3(close sprint) included.
Spoiler Froome showing some real strength in the mountain stage only for him to be dropped inexplicitely in the flat stage and loosing the yellow jersey.
The sprint was very close, I was sure Petit would have it only for him to be displayed as 4th in the results, very weird. 
Stage 4 is a long and hard mountain stage in which everything will be possible! |

Thanks for the results you two.
Bananito doing incredible well in Germany, with a stage win and a 3rd place. Leader jersey is a nice bonus we take going into stage 7. Since nothing is certain and this stage will be the deciding one, I hope for another top result by Bananito & some solid point haul, however competition is tough with Barguil and Kwiatek.
Great performance by Navarro in Japan, temporarily claiming the U25 jersey and going on the hunting spree with Konrad. Fernandez unfortunately is pretty anonymous in his post-Giro race. Too bad about Froome especially since Sugoi needs them points atm with Santos and Sevilla on the rise.

Rigo strong in Japan, Polanc not so. We'll see how that displays later.
Alaphilippe finally nice on stage 3, but sadly dropped while others like DvP and Dege stayed safe. Mohoric and Vanendert good but not great. We'll see how that will develop.

Majka in yellow is a nice start in Japan but not sealed at all yet. Meanwhile Bennett looking real strong in Germany is exactly what we need right now, hope it continues!
