Couldn't have possibly gone worse. both climbers out of GC and Bertilsson goes way too early to miss out on the good placings he could have gotten to salvage something. Absolute trash. I guess I should stop expecting more than the worst case scenarios.

An unfortunate crash for many, and a shame for the race. It does mean a great opportunity for Berhane, but no real expectations that he will take it - based on his lovely season to date.

Dear team, just because we are not relegating does not mean you don't have to do anything anymore

Truly an unexpected result, especially after ToA. Big congrats to SN though, that was just a great ride from Berhane.
Valls in 2nd also a small surprise, but a huge result for Repsol. Might even put them back in the race for promotion and truly shows just how good Valls have been this season.
Nothing in it for us, as expected. Nice to be in the break, but totally wrong guy.
Thanks for the reports!

Obviously a great result for Berhane, who bounces back from a disappointing ToA performance. A shame about some more crashes though. Valls however did well to take that opportunity. Huge result for the team.
Thanks for the reports!

Expect a little bit more from Pomo, bad luck that he is fallen. I hope this points (the missing) doesnt cause the relegation |

Hell yeah, what a ride!
His best result of the last two seasons, and quite unrecognisable from ToA. No off-season punishment for him then. 
Not the expected GC for sure, quite a few can be disappointed with how it went. And looking at Valls, not just from the teams that were here!

What a legend Rafael Valls!!!  Securing the CT Individual Title in the best way possible (well, he could have won, but you know...  )
We dropped too hard during the last couple of months in the promotion battle that even those unexpected 100 points will only help to secure the 8th place in the rankings, as iirc it would take a win in Zuri to challenge both Xero and Azteca for 6th place, and unless Gilbert suddenly becomes Van Stayen, i don't see it happening
And thanks for the reports Abhishek!

Denifl can be so shit at times. In this race he managed to fail us 2 goals, as probably also Eritel will move past us in the rankings after Indosat did already.
Nevertheless congrats SN!
I'm also pleased to see Kiserlovski doing so well here, he really showed his former teamleader how it's done.
Thanks for the reports Abhishek! |

Well our climbers did nothing, but with Meyer's stage win I couldn't care less.
Thanks Abhishek for the reports and grats to the biggest winners of this race: Aquarius and Valls! |

Congrats to SN & Aquarius and thanks for the report Abhishek.
Big surprise to see Kiserlovski doing so well, such a shame the crash on stage 1 affected the result.

Quite a mediocre ride from Garby. Not like it mattered anyway after yesterday. let's just call it a season before we slip into relegation places please.

Ugh. Home race and Intxausti delivers that utter trash. Disappointed is an understatement. Congrats to Repsol and Eritel however!
Thanks for the report! Always good to follow a home race.

Not much better from Shikai on the 2nd stage but 9th is decent enough I guess,
Thanks for the reports.
