Big thanks to Bikex and Shonak for the super reporting.
Bardet is amazingly frisky for the third week, I think the team support has been really good meaning he was fresh enough to take his third stage win and be within a sniff of the podium!
But the Contador crash a real shame for Shonak, its bitter sweet that Bardet has gone ahead of him in GC.
Two in the top 10 GC in Vancouver is pleasing, Chevrier with a cheeky sprint to grab 2nd place in the video
OK start, would be better if Siskevicus and Appo decided who is leading here

After rarely any stage wins for breaks in the last few GTs it was nice to see 2 in a row. Also nice that they are for French riders. Now Nibali is almost sure the new ICL TdF champion and in the end with quite a big gap. That despite his Tour didn't seem very dominant(only 2 stage wins).
Just realised about the extremely dominant performance of Elissonde in Portugal! It's being a good season for us. Maybe we could fight for promotion this season or the next one... what would be much more than expected.

fantastic win for Sevilla, great! Elissonde dominating
Once again, thank you so much, it's great to receive good words from you
Goddammit, I was getting used to the thought we were gonna win a jersey this Tour before Chevrier decided to get some magic water Couldn't that happen to Pierre-Henri?
All in all an average Tour for us, the (slightly bitter at this point) delight that came from Lecuisinier's performances only just outweighs the disappointment in Di Gregorio for not even trying much.
Bikex, thank you so much for the steady pace and great videos and congrats on the overall win, Nibali is an absolute beast! Awesome work from Shonak too!
Seeing Intxausti in the break (albeit crashing) and Herrada going for it too sorta eases the disappointment although we didn't gain anything at least they tried. Wow, Contador completely teared apart after the crash... that moment when you finish a GT with all your riders behind Zdenek Stybar in GC wtf.
If I'd continue next year, we ain't going to have any budget with an utter failure in our goal race le Tour.
Gratz bikex to the TdF win and the podium finishers. Also awesome TdF for Suntory (4 stage wins?! wow) and Ollfardh's Poppel who I hope can get back the points jersey on the last day, it'd be deserved.

Great coverage bikex! Fantastic result for us (and Nibali too), but the real winners are Suntory and Filliers Mora surely...so many unexpectable points...
Nairo securing that well needed second is great...2016 GT 2econd triple incoming for Leopard after last year's CTGT dominance?
