That was shitty for Milka. König will probably never be able to make a top 10 in a PT GC race again, even after fully developped.
Atleast good Dekker got back up. Let's hope he isn't injured.

Well, if he is to crash I appreciate he's doing it in PT races. Can't quite afford to waste his race days on crashes in PCT  |

True. But he is taking away valuable points from my competitors, so please let him stay within touch of the podium

just realised I could post in the man game disscusions, any ways I feel like something wired will happen and Trofimov will lose some time, I no he has had a great tour so far put I don't think it will last |

Great win from Trofimov, i expected him to win four stages here, so just three to go.
Just two to go, this will be easy overall for Trofimov imo, congrats. 
Another quote for another Trofimov win, only one left to my predicted complete domination. It is nothing surprisive though, he is above the rest clearly. Congrats to Koenigsegg.
So here it is, predicted four wins reached and maybe not the last one? This is way too easy for Trofimov, complete domination. 
Congrats to Koenigsegg again!
Edit: Feel sorry for Milka and Konig, one of my favourite riders irl.

Koenigsegg will move straight to the top after these 3 races. Trofimov winning with ease, taking 4-5 stages here. van Hugenhaben 8th (i think) in Tirreno and Valverde 5th in Catalunya. What a demonstration of "Team".

Not quite as good as the 1st, 3rd and current 9th that Vesuvio had on merit, standings-wise! Luck, as ever, playing an important role

Chris Anker tried his best today, but it didn't pay off. Top 15 still seems like a real possibilty though. Pichon and Mollema are both in top 30 now, Mollema even in top 25. If they can stay there in the end it has been a good race for us.
True SN, but you will still stay on the very top due to the stageresults you get. I hope I can shoot at a low top 5 after the three races, well mainly because of Catalunya.

Well that crash with Margaliot about summed it up, a fair bit of industry from SRB but not the quality in the hilly stuff. A couple of guys in the top 30 on GC but really nothing spectacular at all.
The sponsors are going to be a little unhappy with the squad and the performance. As I said before the smart move would have been to place Bobridge here and he could have been up in a top ten.
Good stage win for Pearl Adidas who like Vesuvio lost out a fair whack thanks to that crash at Tirreno (I'm still in hiding from p3druh from that  ). Good stage from Keinath though having seen Pluichkin narrowly beaten in the Volta it will be a nice boost to his squad to snatch the KoM jersey away from Pendleton's.

This is exactly why I brought Vastaranta as a leader here. Job very well done. A top-20 in the GC is just an added bonus

Great ride by Roux and Bilbao. I'll be happy with that top 10, although moving up won't hurt.

Meanwhile  Lotto-Cervelo are shredding the remaining peloton to pieces: Cobo, De la Fuente and team leader Monfort all at the front here - with Cunego and Schumacher both well placed.
Which rider did I take out of the race to put secretly Cunego in there?
A very good and active race for us unlike Catalunya (almost unregocnized at the last stages) or Tirreno (passive)

We need to get in the breakaway on the final stage.
*Looking at Juul-Jensen*
And it took a Finn to beat Trofimov, well done.
Trofimov looks set for the GC though.

By who?
He's the best puncheur in the race, clearly. Schumacher is the only one on a level even close. A serious mountain stage would be needed to shed him I think.
Amazing how consistent he is. One of those riders every team would love to have.

Too bad, too bad.. A lot of bad luck for my team in this race, sadly. 
Thank you guys, hopefully my team will be right back on his track with Bewley's win in San Remo.
