Well done by Bagot to get mountainpoints. I guess a top 3 in the KoM rankings would be outscoring my expectations.
Nice result for Roturn here, really stacking up some important points for the relegation battle.

Roelandts hanging on in there. Interesting to see where he is after the TT

Wow! Huge congratulations, roturn!
And Kruijswijk is doing good to keep up, even going on the attack 
Thanks for another nice report, SN. This race is great this year, with both "GC stages" giving some gaps.

Return, great result there!
Given the ride and overall performance a bit dissapointed by the time gains and 3rd place. Obviously a solid result

Boom did lose a bit more than I had thought. But 3rd in GC and good chances to stay there is nice.
A bit afraid of Schumacher, Gilbert or even Pozzato though.
LLS with a good result and now in perfect position to try something again on the next hilly stage. A few more spots in the GC and I have two good GC`s as wanted.
Also Roux is having some time back, so another stage win would be cool.  |

The current situation seems too good to be true
2nd in the GC, 5 riders in top 25 in the GC, leading the U25 and the teams classification.

Well here goes - Cancellara gaining the lead, I didn't realise quite how bad Burghardt was at TT's, so I didn't even realise it was a given that he was going to get the GC lead.
Obviously stage 7 is absolutely key now, but I am looking forward to it.
Slightly disappointed not to have won the stage. But Fiedler is a superb chrono man so fair play.
Hoping for Rothaus and VW here to get themselves guys in the Top 10 Rothaus two and then it just may spice up relegation battle. With Swift and Bewley here will be surprised to see breakaways snatch these flat ones - AI would really be screwed up for that to happen!

10th from Bernaudeau is pretty good.

Already in the top50, this looks promising In all honesty I'm quite satisfied with the way things have gone, Costa couldn't have been much better than this. Also having the KoM lead with Kuznetsov is quite pleasant to say the least.
Cancellara has the hot spot now and it's hard to see him lose it. There is yet another TT on the cards. The hill stage needs to be aggressively tackled if someone wants to dethrone him!
Beautiful reports so far SN, one can always recognise your vast omniscience of the game

This is above all expectations from Kruijswijk!
It's going to be very hard to keep a top 10, but a top 15 looks realistic as it stands now, but stage 7 is obviously going to be decisive.
Now let's see if Van Heerden can surprise in a positive way like our Dutch captain has done. |

Guarnieri/Rowe with a great result, while Bewley and of course Boonen struggled. Boonen really with an unlucky race, true bummer for Pokerstars.
Gratz, SN. Thrilling win there.

A pity that my sprinters do not go for a result in this field.
Could have switched them with my time trialists and would have gotten more points... |

One stupid unlucky fall in the opener and whole race is completely fucked up.

Pretty awful display by my team so far. Kadri getting caught at the very end + both sprinters sucking  |
