Good stage for us. Vespa winning to take the most points from the rest of our competitors.
Fothen in no troubles here. Hoping for a very strong TT for him, so we might get a few extra points from the stage. 4th Points and 5th Mountains is also nice to get a few extra points. I hope I will be able to start to cling on to the top 5 teams, so there's something to cross the fingers for.

Yeah you must be pleased with Fothen here. Even with a good performance at the Tour I'm not gonna be able to challenge you this year I reckon. Should get better next season though

Nice win for Ginanni. Vespa have put in good performances at our wild card events. Would expect that though as CT teams have the luxury of sending just about their best teams to PT events.
Not much life in the Colombia team here again.... |

I think you are going to be very close. After this race you will be aprox. 600pts behind me I think. And you are probably going to get something like that on me in the Tour

Tschopp has really made me happy this race. 3 successful breakaways, one stage podium, and the KoM jersey  And he is Swiss in his home tour! That makes up for Gomez Marchante's poor showing.

Something like 6th place looks to be sure, solid perfomance from Henao.. It looks like it was a good decision to send Henao here instead of Dauphine. And Konig's 3rd place in the last stage made me really happy, he will be a really useful rider in two season for my team.

This was a very good race for us. Segarra with a good stage result, and Fothen very strong in the mountains, and also a solid performance here to take out all doubts on him being a top TT'er.
Another good stageresult giving a little extra on the points haul, and this is perfect!
Will be interesting to see if he can help the team get a good TTT result also. We are aiming for top 5 there, but hopefully can go even higher. Jack Wolfskin is out of my league.

A little dissapointing in all honesty. Hope Martin is better at the Tour.

So close to get a top 10 here. But 11th isn't bad either.

Seems Ardila hasn't changed much. He was always around 11th-15th in the races he road last season aswell. A very decent domestique...

It's a good result from Keizer in this final TT. Still the whole tour has been disappointing - the stage win ofcourse.

Yep. He's doing exactly what I need him to do. Doing decent races as team leader when Gesink and Plaza aren't riding.

I won't be going after TTTs next year. And I'm planning to sell a certain rider that could be worth millions

Had enough of Gesinks bike handling have we?
Nice race and a good mix of stages here, Pluchkin shows that he demands respect with his own tour credentials. Nice try from Fothen, somewhere near his best after that tour crash.
It really is building towards a very high class tour with the invisible cunego, and the more visible challengers spilak, pluchkin, madrazo and dekker.
Some comedy spellings there roturn

Damn. Oh well I guess others will try that tactics aswell. I'll be happy to take some of your TT'ers

Just noticed that I called Tenorio Tendorio in the last mentions. 
Are there more?
This probably happens if you make the report during watching cycling in TV. |

Invisible is a fun way of noting Cunego. Invincible is probably more "realistic"
