So that's the 7th stage. I should be able to get the 8th stage up before Christmas, but I make no promises.

I totally forget we were competing in this race. 7th isn't terrible, but its not going to get the team much points.

roturn, are your riders planning something? It looks kinda suspicious when five of them finish in a line.
Oh, and congrats to UniCredit.

I was pretty surprised by this as well. Only positive option would be that they totally protect Hermans and Passeron. But I would like to see Baumann at least trying to sprint.
If this continues I will fire all sprinters after this season as none of them is at least trying to.
At least my riders perform extraordinarily well on every other terrain no matter if they are favourites or not.  Can`t be too unhappy with the season so far. |

I'll take a 3rd. Some nice sprinting from Sagan. Really impressive! Looks like the last 8 points up to Kessler in the Points classification is within reach.

Indeed. Being in the break every day except of one time gives me a 2nd, 5th and 15th so far plus top 5 in points, KoM and team ranking.
Obviously by far the better tactic then trying to control the peloton.
Hopefully last stage won`t break my neck... |

Nice reports.
2,5,14,25. Very good race for me. Goal of a top5 definitely acchieved.
A pity that Passeron just uses half of his race days. He clearly is a nice addition with puncheur skills and nice attacking spirit.
Just a bit disappointed that Baumann did not try to sprint. He could have been good for a podium result especially on the last stage. But hopefully my sprinters will start to learn in the future...I really doubt so.
Congrats to CalGiant to get their win goal. |

I suppose 6th will have to do. Could've been more, but it was a losing battle after the TT.
Congrats to CalGiant though

FINALLY! A victory here, with the team working for it!
Also nice to see Voeckler get the top 10 placing.

A race to forget for Rapha after the 1st stage really. Grmay signed signs of promise which is great considering his stats, too bad he struggled on the final couple of stages.
And a leadout train for Abdallah? Wow, thats unexpected. And a shame, because it meant he had no chance.
