Insane race by Parmalat congrats Dane 3 riders in the top 8 is some effort, good to see Buitrago have a good race with the team backing his effort too on the other hand,Daniel Habtemichael with the bare minimum you'd expect from him for Kraftwerk probably helps us. Galta clearly rolled a bad RDC when it mattered most awful luck for Heine |

3 Colombians partying but a half Colombian team left behind with shattered dreams. Nice to see Munoz in second, nice win by Parmalat as well. Congratulations. Hoping that this was just a bad day for Galta and he can fight back in his upcoming races.
Great reports as usual, kb!

Cracking ride from Santi, really happy with a podium on the stage and the GC. Combined with the stage win and 2nd in points classification from Perera a really succesful race. Unlucky start from Galta there, I'm sure it won't last too long but I'm glad we could make the most of it all the same 
Thanks for the reports KB and congrats to Dane on the win!

Nice to see Buitrago have a good race. Would've liked to see a bit more from Habtemichael, but can't have everything.

Unbelievable finish!
Stage three was phenomenal, with placing 4th, 5th, and 8th being great.
And the beautiful white jersey for Strong.
In the 4th stage, we have mixed feelings. Team Zappes Kölsch was there to fight, but didn't have the legs in the end.
But, 3rd in Team rating, 2nd and 11th in U25 rating, and 10th in GC is great to see. Looking forward to the next races.
Thank you for the report and congratulations to Parmalat - Ecopetrol! |

Congrats to Dane, 5 in the top 20 is some great depth scoring.
Happy with 4th from Habtemichael, delighted with the points win by Harrison.
Not sure why Gall went on the attack when he had a team leader to support?
Overall a good race for the Men In Ties.
Thanks for the great reports kb.

Lots of 11th and 12th place stage finishes, but Abner getting 9th GC is good, and the U25 is extra points. Not too shabby.

This stage treated me about how I expected it to. Truly a shame about stage 3 and losing time there, but this race taught me many of the things I should've already learned, but hadn't.
One hell of a race up front and have to be proud of that for Parmalet-Ecopetrol. Can't say I thought Quintana had that in them, but who I am to judge!
