The fact we've never been last in a TTT so far this year is a pathetic effort from the other WT teams

So proud of my fellow CT team Statoil, really dominating the mass sprints. zabel'd on stage 6, sadly, but 2nd, 3rd and 5th, amazing.

Joao Gasper is the star of the show right now, great display by him! Uran solid, but his positioning in the sprints for the GC is worrying me. Still it's very good to see him staying on the bike so far, that's an achievement at this stage I guess.
I love how Guardini delivers here, so happy for hillis!

Its looking good so far for me although i hate what happened to Froome.
Mathis is a loss but there are more important domestiques for my team whom I'd rather not lose.
Hillis can enjoy a sweet race so far
Good choice picking the GT without Kittel
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Yeah seems like a lot of crashes in this race, contrary to il Giro. Glad that Liberty has gotten through the first week largely unscathed. Awful to see Froome in his last GT@peak with two crashes and also Richie Porte on the ground tho.

Thank you so much everybody!
Had a goal of a stage win, but two is awesome. Not sure why the leadout guys keep doing better then Guardini here. That kind of bugs me a bit, but can't complain.. Haha.
Maybe Guardini can compete for the green jersey now?
And wtf Hoelgaard on stage 6. Akward

Bouhanni with a stage win and virtual green
Hoping he can keep that all the way to Paris.

Congrats to Marco just ahead of the Statoil flood!
Real shame crashes are affecting this race, Cav, Froome and Van Poppel on the injury list but at least still in the race.

Spoiler Herrada doing well so far, Contador level above the rest though on the first mountain stage. Grande.

Goos doing ok, Van Poppel not recovering from his injury is a disappointment though. I hope he gets better before the next set of sprint stages.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Sometimes I feel like PCM is trolling me
Nice 2nd place by Frank on stage 9 (I almost did not open this spoiler after seeing Porte in 11th on the previous stage), nearly our first non-Greg/Deg win of the season. Now he's our best place rider! Also, Froome crashes, recovers to get 2nd on the next mountain stage. Porte, well... It's not PCM, it's you Porte!
Contador will probably run away with this now.

Gianni Meersman! Another awesome story for Sevilla
Really a nice job done by Uran as well, now stay in the Top 5 until the end and we are happy.

Still got to watch the mountain stage but the results are looking very much in favor of Contador. But the road till Paris is still long..
Slightly disappointed with angel Dinger who seems to be disinterested in the white jersey but if that means he can help contador better than i dont care too much

A lot to go yet, but a stage win, U25 GC leader + 2 Top20s seem like a great Tour to me for us! Specially if we take into account that we didnt bring our best riders! |

Very happy with two in the top 10 GC, would be great if Coppel and Chevrier can keep that up.
Cav still injured, hope he can survive and recover in time for some of the remaining sprint stages.
