Lopez Garcia wins a sprint, wow. 
... Ventuso winning sprint now that is wow! Nice seconds gained for Boessen Hagan and Phinney there. But Zabriske surely will smoke them all on the TT! |

Haha, this is awesome, I may not be able to win much in the CT, but the PT is another matter.

Good job indeed by Hagen, he'll need more to stay on the podium though I reckon.

Sam Bewley you suck!
The sprintings always seems so extremely random. I never had a sprinter capable of being just decently consistent, and I've had quite some good ones, in Allan Davis, Thor Hushovd and now Sam Bewley...
Only Daniele Bennati seems to do according to his stats...

Granjel Carbera is consistent but doesn't seem to be able to win. Good points tough.

Sprinters are rarely consistent on their own, they need one lead out man and a bit of luck.

yep, in the last PCMs it's all about following the right wheels rather than the actual sprint

Or you just got a top sprinter that isn't sprinting <.<.

Doesn't matter in my teams... In the Giro I had a main sprinter with 80 sprint, I had a guy with 79, 78 and 76 as leadout. Didn't work either...

Yeah you are going to have a 300+ on the next best team going from this race...
I just want it to be over with, so we can get the Vuelta going. That should be slightly better I hope...

Surprising that Wikipedia failed to win the time trial, even if they are still 1-2 in GC
And wow, Tom Faiers is up there in 21st in GC after the time trials. Go on Tom, get into the Top 20!

Promising sign for the Tour. If only Coppel can beat Zabriskie again on home soil.

Samuel Sánchez didn't do too bad here, also Tim Dees impressed me. So hopefully Sammy can take a minute or so on a handful of riders in the final hilly stage to take 7th or 8th in the GC. And if Tim can also improve a place or to it would be pretty nice...

5th is very good, but I'll allow myself a wee bit dissapointment for just losing out on the podium.

yeah, losing the stage here would be nitpicking but it does mean Coppel should be the favorite for the first yellow jersey in the tour. Again Auber have found a good way to pick up points with their types of riders.

More importantly, I need to win a Tour stage for a goal. I think it's probably my only chance to do so through a TT.
