Scarponi 14th is not too bad though

wow PCM just wow!
Roche actually climbed a spot and over-performed with his only 72 TT!! Roche apparently likes 3rd places, probably his most common result this season. Imagine just with a better hilly stage, he would've won the GC. But gratz to Bjartne and what a performance from Dekker!
Great reporting too, so thanks for that 
Also this was a great gift and I suddenly feel quite confident, that we can get that Top 10 in the Standings by the end!

Happy with Cornu taking that TT in dominant fashion, his points haul when you include the first stage and the Green Jersey placing should be solid. Valls a bit disappointing and not at his best for 13th, Herrada in 17th with many others also in GC point scoring positions should mean that this isn't a bad race for my team.

At least we showed commitment the last twenty-something kilometres...
Thanks to Pat Lane and Marcel Aregger the race couldn't be called a total desaster, but it was definitely not the team performance we want to show our home fans.
Gratz to the top5 GC-guys as they can all be perceived as winners in this high end starting field.
Thanks for great reporting, jandal! Had nice and entertaining reads from first to last stage.
Just one less important thing: I prefer to see the top 10 rankings in each category displayed throughout a stage race. Just like you did after the final stage (except for the young riders ranking).

Well a pretty bad race for us, but we've had some luck with other races this season so I can't really complain and at least LLS slipped into the top 10 with the TT.
Thanks a lot for the top quality reports jandal! And congrats on the win Bjarnte!

Thanks jandal for some solid reporting! 
Awesome race for us. To be honest, I didn't think we had much of a chance of a top 10, but Eastman really rode out of his skin to get a top 5. Really happy with that result. The last few races have been really good for us, so I look forward to seeing where we stand in the overall rankings.

Fantastic race by Dekker! It's so great to see him performing so consistently good in such a race and field, and that definately gives us some hope for the next months ahead.
Also cool to see Kuboki snatching that green jersey, awesome performance!
Thank you for the quality reports jandal, spiced with even a bit of humour! |

Thank you jandal for great reporting!
And congrats too bjartne for the win!
I´m glad Cort Nielsen managed to climb up tp 15th in GC and Lövkvist could have done better but still to guys top 25.
But once again Haugard dissapointing in a TT with 31st place on the last stage, he even was a 2 star favourite in the preview. |

Although the final TT was a little disappointing for Bibby, in all honesty it didn't make any difference to his GC position. 8th and 20th on GC plus two good stage results from Opie make this a pretty successful race for us considering the strength of the field. Now at 15 consecutive races with a rider in the Top 15 as well, which is a nice stat to have.
Thanks for the reports jandal, and congrats to Bjartne! |

After that awesome stage 4 I thought we could bring home a great result. However 6th is slightly off of our objectives.
That spectacular day will be sufficient though.
Loved the reporting it was very entertaining throughout the event, thanks jandal.
Lastly, congrats Bjartne. Dekker has proven his worth!

Can't complain, could have gone much worse considering the mountain and hilly stages behind us! And wow, Viviani found some shape!!! Hoping he can keep up this kinda performing 'till the end of the season. Huge gratz to Bjartne and thanks a million for the never boring reports to jandal.

It was not possible to reach the desired objectives, but this last stage is normal given the wear of the previous stage ..
surprising is the fact that it won the Classification by teams, something that was not even waiting but are always welcome points.
Congrats Bjartne and thanks Jandal

Another disappointment. Could be here with two GC top 3's and I probably wouldn't care too much but alas PCM is a mofo. Aziz still has only used 4 race days so far, so we can take solace in that I guess.
Also, congratulations Bjartne! Pretty magnificent win, hope it can help get your season going! Thanks for the reports too jandal.

What an awful race for us.
Would have liked to know why Costa dissapeared from the race and reports since the prologue, but other than that pretty good reports all together.
Congratz to bjartne and dekker, the bigbboys really dominated this one.

Kuboki amazing and Shikai sneaks into the Top 10, a good race for us. Gratz to Bjartne and I have to say I really enjoyed the humour in the reports Jandal and glad to see someone else likes Kuboki as well.

Roglic where Talansky should be - Talansky where Roglic should be. Whatever: another solid points haul from a HC stage race for us. Very impressive, so close to the stage win on stage 5 but no shame in losing out to Compal after a great race for them: which is different!
Still looking for Flores' maiden win which isn't from a break. |
