I can't seem to think that Cunego is any less of a favorite looking at the stages to come.
I really hope you're right and I'm overestimating what Cunego needs for the final TT. 
Never, ever, ever felt so anxious about a ManGame race before. Café de Colombia live or die by this race. |

So close, still hoping for a stage win though, it's the only thing left really.
Edit: These Cancellara attacks are plain ridiculous though, always the same rider.

Nice one by Kreder, but I guess that's the best he can do.
And I'm still waiting to see Chavanel going for a breakaway...

I have a new job for Ventoso. Get on Cunego's wheel and pass him in the final km to stop him getting the bonus seconds.

Allez Cancellara! Keep trying to win that non-existent combativity prize

If Cunego had been better positioned for the finish, he may well have taken that. 
I'm pretty sure Cancellara is going to make one of these late moves stick as some stage. |

The über-successful Vesuvio-Sony collaboration continues! This is just too good.

Just three flat stages left and let's be honest stage 19, looks like it will be a tough one to control. Time is ticking down for Swift to get his stage win!
Vesuvio seem to have Fabian's number, but at least he is giving Carmeuse some cheer! I did think this may be a good chance for a break but, the sprinters teams are hungry.
Team tactics are the best I can hope for really putting Priamo or Giaux in a break then if caught fingers crosses for Impey. The tensions are rising has we head towards the decisive stuff.

I have been following the ManGame for a while now and I think it's time to join the debat's!
Although he lost time on the last stage, Cunego is still the favourite for me as I believe he can take enough time in Madrazo before the final tt. Madrazo second and Pliuschkin probably third but maybe Spilak can come up strong? Good for the columbia team that Cunego is taking a lot of points!
Trofimov was very strong and can maybe win one more stage? If Vesuvio does the work for Sony that is. Let's hope for Sn Swift can win atleast one stage after all the work they did!
And: it's a shame that a devoted and actime manager like Sotd has so bad luck! Let's hope Fothen can maybe go for a stage win

GC is still annoying me a tad, but while Duret is still wearing the polka-dots and while we're still in every break, I'm content.

Ventoso marked Cunego out just like I asked him to. 
Pity that was only for a 13th, but I guess you can't have everything.

Great positioning from Goss and a good result. If he can keep putting himself in good positions i should be happy

I swear Cancellara is trying to take over Bos' position as the team's comedy relief

This "same attack every day" is so ridiculous, i really hope Cyanide will get rid of this for the next edition
Congrats to Sony, Tour looks like their race completly, this was win number five or six?

I've lost count.
SN did you thought that you could stop me by retracting your train?

Not much to enjoy from this race. Getting tired of seeing Sony Ericsson, Cunego ... and basically everyone, including my own team |

You can enjoy Sony Ericsson less races next year
It's not really working out for the breakaways and Impey cannot quite mix it, still looking for another Tour moment here I wonder.
But the GC battle awaits - I have this feeling that Madrazo may nick it somehow.

Based on SN's past form - posting races quickly - I can't help have a feeling that there is some sort of catastropic AI failure to come in this highest profile ManGame race of the season. |
