A mixed bag for the team on that stage, Godoy would fancy himself to be as good as Bugge but loses 3'00 to him on the final climb.
However, with 3 riders finishing in the first large group there is a decent chance we can get two in the top 10 in GC after the TT (as long as the game doesn't treat it as a prologue) and if Jorge Adelbo Soto Pereira has a good day he could move up into the top 5. 
-- Nice reporting Smowz.  |

Exciting stage 3!
Solid ride by Montaguti, though the gaps are huge. Not much room for improvement left. Rodas is within reach, but Bochmann and Fonte are capable of a faster TT finish. The 10th GC's spot stays a satisfying result.

No problem man, look forward to the next instalment.
Fonte's glad for the extra days rest, told me the finishing climb on stage 3 felt more like a mountain than a hill! .

Not happy with report but I really am struggling with my computer at the moment. Actually the minishirts keep crashing my comp so I thought I would just post without and the report is a bit briefer than I might have liked.
Still hope it is okay. Some guys were decent and some guys were not so good.

Another good ride from De Greef, just to hold on now
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Moreno did well by limiting losses. Sending him here was a good decision.

Incredible ride from Rosskopf, I can count on him for TTs it seems!! Nice to move onto the podium, but unfortunately the course was not long enough for anyone to challenge Bugge. Hoping to get close to our goal!

Glad Bugge managed to keep his jersey relatively comfortably.. Should be hard to lose this now.

So close, yet no cigar on my first win. Bochman still put in a stunning ride. Good on him and a great result for the team!

Hmm. We did not had expectations toward this race but at least a bit of television time would have been nice.
If this continues like that the riders can look how they can get back to Europe. Swimming is a good training, too. But perhaps, they can find a canoe somewhere. This would make the way back a bit easier!
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Yeah, this was a terrible idea to come here. Example #342429 of why I'm an idiot 
I'm just hoping not to get completely shut out at this point!

Very happy that Poorseyedi could defend the second place. I only hope that he won't loose any time on the two flat-ish stages to come. |

Decent fromAdamou and Jeannesson 15th is not enough. Hoping for lots of breakaways and attacks from the team on the remaining stages.

Thanks for reporting depite the computer issues, Smowz! Looks like everything important is well-covered, I liked it.
Montaguti with another good, solid ride, but still not strong enough to beat Bochman and Fonte.
No TT win for Michael Schär, heavy legs after the exhausting stage before. Nonetheless disappointing.
Gratz to Dell, Joey Rosskopf is the kind of all around talent every team would find a use for.

Unfortunately, Soto Pereira finished down on where we would have liked him to finish. Looks like, for some queer PCM logic reason, that the prologue stat might have had some effect as Soto Pereira shouldn't finish that low down.
- Oh well, on to the next stage. |

A little bit dangerous that, but Bugge remains in the jersey with one stage to go. And of course, Matthews wins the sprint in the peloton...
