Good to see Vastaranta stay awake. Was surprised to see him as a top favourite for this stage and I guess losing his leadout-man didn't help him either.
Looks like most favourites are in good shape so we could be in for an exciting battle

Kuboki aargh, may be quite a scorer for Actavis...
Nice to see Passalacqua at least trying, bit of a meh performance for the rest of my guys, as especially Molard was a favourite for the AI. Can still do something more I hope, Finetto had a nice stage

Stupid attack cost us there. We have to deliver on stage 4 big time or it's just another disappointment.

Good win for Kuboki! Shame Kruopis went so early, he could have at least made it onto the podium and kept his jersey. Anywho, the green jersey lead is a nice consolation for now  Next stage is going to be very interesting.
Thanks for the report!

Really good team performance today. Shame Favilli lost in the last meters to Kuboki but KoM jersey by Einsle, who did exactly what I wanted him for, and an overall strong team depth makes up for it, where all the guys remain in their GC places whilst others missed out. Flat beasts.  Langeveld and Favilli will be furious duo hopefully on next two stages. Tennant still 5th.

Kuboki looking very strong...
Too bad Vastaranta started his sprint so late, but with that in mind scoring a posium and a few bonus seconds is very nice.
Thanks for the quality reports.

Was really hoping Der would attack. 5th is pretty good though.

Angry after reading the report for Stage 3 to find that Bazhkou lost contact, fuming with him, I expected a bit more than that.

Great offensive ride by Joseph, with the cobbled stage coming up, he's looking good for the GC.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Get in! Kuboki does the business for us! Shame about Chenaux's crash, but looks like he'll live to fight for the KoM title another day.

A race to forget for Sodexo! Puncture on stage 2, a crash on stage 3, your main GC hopes way down the standings and also holding lantern rouge...

Thanks for another good report.
Great to see Jukka survive the cobbles in solid style moving up on the GC podium. Kruopis could prove tricky with the flat stage incl. bonus seconds on the final day. With a bit of luck Jukka will be able to get a gap on both him and Langeveld on the hills tomorrow.

Happy that Dabrowski joined the break. Too bad he couldn't keep up. Unfortunately Der got dropped, so just stage wins as a goal now.

Well this would never be our race 
Still, we manage to attack quite a lot so that's good! |

Not sure what to think of this one, great ride by Verhelst of course, but Joseph had a good chance for a GC here, and it gets ruined by a crash. Still, a win in a home race = banana time!

Nice win for Lierse, good racing as well, didn't think that Molard could do that well! Hoping that he can somehow snap into the top 5 or even the podium though
