Good ride by my former rider William Walker! Impressive. Also very pleased with the ride from Calvin Watson, looks good for a top 15 in the GC now. A slight pity to have Watson behind Mohoric on placings, as it would be great bonus for us to wear the youth jersey, but overall happy with that stage.
Looks set for a good fight for the GC now. Ulissi clearly being played here today, will be interesting to see how it works out on Willunga. Thanks for the report, roturn!

Minor disappointment is all I have to say about the team ...
Get over with it quickly and come from there the next race

Another case of bad positioning for Kraftwerk, 29 seconds to make up on Willunga Hill to make top 5, not sure Flügel is in the form to deliver this.
Season obviously over

2nd and 3rd stage both proving to be catastrophic for us, although it is against PCT competition, having no one in the top 40 of the GC is embarrassing |

Good stage by Kump and Mohoric, that's what we hoped for! First "positive" surprise  Still we need a Top3 on stage 4 and spare timegaps in Willunga Hill!
Now we need:
- Kump and Mohoric to stay in the Top10
- Mohoric to beat Watson on Stage 5
- Svab to attack again
- Kump to somehow Top3 next stage to have a shot on beating Schreurs for the points classificaation
- a man in the break on stage 6

That is what I'm talking about, great execution  And this time the train worked well to not get outsmarted by Modolo again, though he tried well. Big day for Isostar, got the win we desperately needed from here.
Feel a little bit sad for Kamberaj though, brave ride from our loanie! Hopefully he gets another shot on stage 6.

Kump saving his team's season!
Had hoped for Goss to somehow have a shot at this stage, but maybe he will strike at stage six. Tough one for the escapees, but it's always fine enough to see the favorites battling it out.

Awesome to see Kump performing, especially when we thought he never would 2 days ago. A good ride on the Corkscrew plus a great stage win means he's on track for a really good GC result if he can manage the gap on Willunga.  Congrats Croatia!
Thanks for all the great reports Roturn!

Yay Kump Great job by Isostar to deliver him to the line and he takes it! Shame for Khamberaj but VMP having a very good race!

Another good effort from Olsson. Truly love that guy. Shame about Skjerping crashing, as I was hoping for a top 30 in GC from him, but seeing other teams being unlucky, I shouldn't complain. Watson yet again safe through the stage. Now just sit thight on Willunga. Congrats on getting the win, Croatia!

Good to see that Kadri has decided to bother and grab a top-10 result here. Now we need the rest of the team to do something apart from crashing as well

Nice one for Kump and Croatia, great report of the heartbreak for the break, thanks roturn.
Much better from Kraftwerk and I think if Cav had better support he could have challenged for the win.
Team safe, might see Vachon in the break after loosing time in a crash.
Season defining stage tomorrow, come on Flügel you can do it.

Waeytens clearly saving himself for the queen stage..
Pelucchi doing really well here, guess he knows this is a contract year for him.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Looking a bit more difficult now, adds to the excitement for Willunga tonight, but we will have a harder time winning the GC now and kinda bumped if we used Guardini to chase a breakaway. Just hope him and Mohs can do well on the last stage, but for now all attention on next stage, which should be quite an entertaining one. Our goal for a Top 5 can be missed, but doubt that very much. Go Froome!

Arnaud Kump showing his skills, although this time Kamberaj had my support, what an effort to nearly fend off the peloton for the whole sprint.
The corkscrew stage was interesting with bigger gaps and smaller groups than I expected, now bring us the legend of the early season climbs!

Oh come on, nobody is named after the #2. It's M. Van Kump!
