Pulido continues to prove his place gaining points for the team in that wonderful KoM classification. Beltran holds onto a decent position and has contributed more points to the Non-Summerhill category as well! Up to 40 points total now for this race!

Yees, perfect stage. Potts in botd saved us from chasing and he did well there but Modolo totally nailed that sprint. This stage win was really needed. Thanks roturn!

Normally Sobota is better than this, guess PCM giving him the stage favourite status throws him off  A couple of our riders were interested in the top 30 at least.
Thanks Roturn and Congrats Shonak!

We worked for... a top 90? Or did Prevar actually think he had a small chance?

Very dominating win by Modolo, congratulations, Shonak! Must admit I thought the stage would be difficult for sprinters like him as well but I guess the AI decided it was all about the sprinters, not allowing the puncheurs to join the fun, eventhough Kadri and a couple of others were active towards the end.
Happy to see us avoid any crashes and time losses. |

Dominant sprint by Modolo, gratz to Strava!
Hope the spell is broken and Areggers podium marks a much better second half of the race. Under these circumstances we're in need for any point we can get.

Uneventful day for us with the sprinters getting a chance, all things good with points still coming in from Pulido for that top KoM spot. Like that Beltran was in a good position late and had no chance of getting caught out should weird things happen.

An unusaul exciting HC race for PT teams and really nice to see Chen having a really good sprint train from Scotty Thwaites. Hoping Destribios can continue his good sensations in the climbs - he has been hanging with the favourites group quite well.

Wow Mørkøv, never expected 7th from him  First good result for the race so happy now, despite Rabottini and Palini's fails. Thanks a lot Roturn and congrats on the win too!

Villella continues with his active riding. Just like his Giro stage win, he now also makes it one in Portugal, which is a pleasure to see as maxed rider now.
Those 2 stage wins make definitely up for the shit GC decisions by the team and the awful racing in Deutschland. |

Gratz roturn to the win. Ofc too bad for us that Modolo didn't get the win there, missing out on some points for the sprinters jersey. But second puts him high up in the points table still and maybe we can still snatch the jersey. Fingers crossed that the botds will be in our favor. Thanks for coverage!

Good to see our four front runners safe through that stage as well, now we move on to the serious stuff again.
Congratulations on another win, roturn, and thank you for the report |

Nepomnyachsniy nice and safe, Prevar close with him, so that's all good. I wonder how Kononenko and Topchanyuk managed to lose more time than Hutarovich and Ulanowski though... Does not bode well for the Tour of America...

This stage was much more interesting than what I anticipated. A strong breakaway, a mid-stage split, a chaotic sprint and of course a heroic last meter victory! Congrats roturn, that must have felt amazing.
Borges did well to grab a few more points for us with a valuable top5 here. On the other hand Reis was last of the group, which worries me. Hopefully he was jus' restin' for tomorrow.

Cerny way too far in a stage that could've suited him. Too bad.

A good attentive couple of stages by Silvio, pushing above his weight in the sprint classification too now.
Many punchy sprinters are here and the stages were not quite hard enough for more than lower Top 10s for the GC riders in these.
Now we're at the triple header of decisive stages.
Positioning and acceleration should be good enough for Herklotz to respond to the attacks that will surely come on the steep incline tomorrow, it just depends on his legs and decision making whether he'll make the front group and keep up with his GC opponents. It'll certainly be exciting.
