Hirt dropped a bit, but less than I expected. Now only an easier mountain stage and an ITT to go...

Yeah not surprised and not everything can go right 
Sagan and Pszczolarski still available as leadouts and Zielinski could still take another stand in the coming stages ^^
Thanks for the reports and I'll wonder if there will be 3 stages tomorrow

Not sure about that. Also not too impressed by just reaching page 5 in the discussion yet, so posting three stages may become frustrating as for the comments-per-stage ratio 
That said... You never know

Lowe should take Signorini in the TT.
An awful race from Novak who isn't proving his utterly ridiculous price tag. He has some work to do to improve this season.

Another Icelandic win!
A nice second place for us, but realistically a top 6 would be what I'm hoping for with the TT in a couple of days. Unfortunately didn't pull ahead as much as I would have liked us to.

Currently in Sumatra, Indonesia and extremely limited internet. Cant watch the photos, but i have read all reports and are very happy with the outcome so far. Would be fun to have Khalili top 5 too eventually.
Thanks fir the reports and sorry for the lack of commenting. |

Yeah Berard was a bad buy and Top 10 is out imo...
Sad we couldn't get into the break more often :/
I do hope Zielinski goes into the last stage break and takes the point jersey, while Drujon have the best leadout available still. Really interesting race and can't wait to see the coming reports

Something ridiculous is going to have to happen to prevent Lowe from winning here. Hoping we can salvage a top 5 in the next stage. + leading KOM (tying) isn't too bad either.
Thanks for the report, looking forward to the next!

Got a little shocked when I saw my minishirt being used for Wang. Wasn't sure for a moment if I haven't signed up for that race this season. 
After the win last year it's nice to see an (almost) former rider Trent Lowe doing well. Nice to see Compal in general always up there. |

Some kind of tag team by the Carlsberg boys. Well it didn't end up meaning anything, but nice to see them and the Danish NC jersey out and about!

What an interesting fight between 3rd and 6th. Looking at the TT stats:
- Soler 66
- Hirt 69 (+9s)
- Gilanipoor 68 (+11s)
- Ochoa Quintero 66 (+12s)
Guess it will depend on daily form. But I do have hope that Hirt will gain back his podium spot - which would be a huge result for him.

That went very well for Soler and climbing up to 3rd is just what we wanted. However the TT will be crucial and I fear that he could slip down several places. Acevedo perhaps a little disappointing from the break considering he's one of the strongest puncheurs in the race, but was unable to secure a podium on the climb.

Just great!1!1! Nothing like having a top 5 climber consistently loose 2 to 3 mimutes on the winner!!1!!1!
If novak doesnt win the TT or get close to winning im actually gonna flip out |

Dominant by Novak which takes him up to a more respectable 9th.
I said it would happen and it did, Lowe taking the GC lead. But by only 5 seconds!

Well nothing really surprising here
Really hope that Drujon still got powers left to compete tomorrow, however Zielinski might go into the break Can't wait to see how this turns outs, however also this stage just proved, why I didn't want to sign a pure stage racer to my team =)

I really liked the kind of reporting for a TT as well.
And. I'm. Really. Loving. Hirt. 
Kasa in 4th is also nice.
