I bet Alarcon will win the MTT :-p So can't see him losing (like the others are saying) ;-) I still hope for Ratiy on the podium, but I can't really complain about this race (3 days in youth jersey, 2 days in leaders jersey, 1x 2nd, 3x 3rd, 1x 5th)

Won't the flat start of that TT cost him some time? Like the TT in the Giro where Flens did quite well thanks to the flat start.

Might be, but I still feel he will pee on everyone at the "up" part :-p

I also think he will make the podium if not win the MTT. Only Eastman, Ratiy, Castano and Lloret could be stronger, but don`t expect this. |

Oh yeah, a victory at last! It seems that talk with Santos paid off. Ironically, all we needed was a mountain stage in between.
Now it's time to sit back and enjoy the racing. The next stages will be interesting, in the GC fight, although I suspect the decisive differences won't be made till the MTT. As to us, Tachira is probably over.

I'm pleased with Eastman's performance thus far. Hopefully his combination of backup stats days dividends in the remaining stages. And Sinner is getting closer and closer to the form that won him a couple stages and a points jersey.

Well I have my hopes, but I fear the last kms are too orange for my riders, and with so many good climbers around I really don't know what to expect...

Nice breakaway win, Congrats Mresuperstar.
The losses for my guys aren't too bad, maybe we just need to wait for the bigger gradients. And i want to see Orozco in the break this time! |

great first win there Mresuperstar. The gaps from poor positioning will be interesting with pcm 11 over the course of the season.

Excellent Mresuperstar - this tour has to be considered a success already after that fantastic and hard-fought win.

I am pleased with the result Astarloza managed to get. With a little luck, he can keep his position.

That was a bit of a mad stage - a breakaway win in a mountain stage. Cool.
Pxssed off that Carrara was one of the losers on the day though ....Two riders on loan at Vespa look as if they have very big futures. |

2 mountain stages were enough to mix up the ranking. Except of Alarcon and Castano just Ratiy with a great chasing effort on both stages, many riders lost time.
After a disappointing first mountain stage of Vazquez he showed his real skills today.
Also Lloret climbing into the aimed top 5. |
