Contador at least solid but he should have been more aggressive. Shame to see us lose ground here on Nibali in such a way. Contdor has killer acc and fighter. He needs to use that ffs.

3rd in Asmara from Kwiatek is great Hard to know what he'll do in these one-day races, so glad he pulled that off. As for the TDF the team is going as expected with some good results by Nizzolo and some break appearances, nothing to shout about though.
GC battle is very exciting, Nibali seems to be pulling ahead now but it's tense.
Thanks for results. Seeing Contador beaten in such a way on such a finish is really bad - he should be the one attacking. I can't believe how shitty his performance is. Tour is over with 2 minutes behind unless Contador gets real for once and does bertie things. Frustratingly, Herrada and Intxausti are also in limbo and score zero points. This bad Tour performance makes me reconsider Illes Balears altogether.

This is one of the most intense GC fights I've ever seen in PCM! It very much looks like 4 guys with a showdown on the final stages, where each of them can win. Stybs on P10 is just hilarious btw
Rolland very disappointing. I hope the team can pull off a breakaway victory (maybe Alpe d'Huez?) to salvage something from Le Tour, else it will be a very sad race for the French.
Lecuisinier still top 20 and at the top of the u25 standings. This tour might be more lucrative than anticipated, as well as potentially helping us save our asses from relegation.
I only wish Remy joined more breaks for fuck's sakeeeeeee
Beautiful Sicard! That accomplishes our goal of taking a stage win here and also gives the French one. Glad he, Schär and Nizzolo are giving us a pretense here. Thanks bikex!
Seems like in Portugal we were 2anto2 Eu2kadi - 2nd in GC, points, youth, and team OK from Nieve, great performance as a domestique from Ochoa to claim himself a very nice 6th overall and a stage win. Appo the only dissapointment, coming back with nothing to show. Not the best goal race, but very very solid.

Pretty disappointing race for us in Portugal as Ponzi dropped out early and we unfortunately weren't in nearly enough breakaways. At least Kohler suprisingly did very well in the sprints.
Thanks for the reports Shonak.
If nothing unexpected happens only Quintana can still be of danger to Nibali, I think. Especially with his high rec 1'08" isn't much. Didn't think Nibali would be this strong in the Tour after loosing to Froome clearly in Sochi earlier in the season.
