Have to agree. Guys like Vanverschelde, Rowe, Kupfernagel, Lay, Bennett, Ahlstrand, Kvist etc. are all better sprinters and also don`t make the top10. Most times not even top25. This is underperforming.
Renshaw making the top10 would be massively overperforming. That said, it`s probably disappointing for your team, that no one wants into the breakaway.
This. This is the story of Rowe so far, not even a top 25 in this tour at all, even seeing we have no chance in the flat stages, it would be nice if we got someone in a break

I'm hoping it's stats that are making Holloway perform. At least I can expect consistency if that is the case.

 Tzortzakis in 20th is quite ok, but best GC rider, Wohler 43rd is ...

Khatuntsev performs well, once again being best of the team -although that can also be explained by the failure of Serebriakov-

At least Barth can save the team in this race...

What a race for Asda, two massive wins. Well done.
I didn't expect much, however the whole race has been outrageous.

Well, I didn't expect that at all. 
Must have been one powerful steak that Stannard ate, not going to complain

Too bad we missed the stage win. But this could make for another race to win the team's competition. Thanks for the small note, roturn  It would feel much better to have two possible GC-threatsat this point. I just don't trust that final stage and Olman

Better from Tennant, securing a decent GC place. But wow, Stannard! Great result for Asda there. Didnt think Stannard still had it in him to win as C1 level with the higher competition. But then, I expected Rogers in races like this, so that opened the door a bit. Can only assume Reus had a bad daily form.

Still disappointed, but what can you do really? Expected to beat everyone but Ford comfortably in the TT hence the disappointment. Still, no splits and Lo Cicero not getting bonus seconds could potentially give us 17 pprd and a completed goal so it's not all bad. |

Schär could have done better, but KOM- and Young Rider-lead are making up for that. Imressive result by Claudio Imhof. Fingers crossed he has enough energy left to keep his position.

Was hoping for a win with Lo Cicero but he just doesn't look strong enough. I guess in past games ACC was less of a factor,but this year since it actually influences a riders acceleration it is much more useful for sprints.
This could be a race for Kwok in future years though.

32nd for Sepuvelda as the best. Well, can only expect Cabrera to do something amazing in the last stage. |

18 pprd and our goal complete. Not bad from a very poor performance. Reus must do better, and why he didn't attack there I'll never know.
Thanks for the great reports roturn. |

Won't complain about Stannard's stage win and 2nd in the GC, certainly gives us a nice points haul despite Rowe not taking a single point.
Congrats to Holloway and Heineken with the GC and multiple stage victories and others who have had a successful tour.

8th and 12th in GC gives us some points here! But some more top 10 in the sprints would been nice.. |
