A dismal preformance for Slipstream. I assume Peterson and Stetina were working for Colby and that is why they did not make the front groups.
We expected it through Chacon, but apart from his sole stage win, Efimkin and Paolini led the way with 2nd overall and the points jersey. Surely they will be promoted now?

That wasn't a good queen stage for Wiggle. Yeah great Astarloza moved up, but he should have been in Garate's position to start with. Oh well, a few more points and I might secure a top 10 overall team position which would be nice enough I guess.

This race was really strange. Mori lost time on a hilly course and was 12th on the Queen stage. That's messed up.
I was strange alright. When Colorado (77 MO) was dropped from the peloton on stage 14, there were still riders like Celestino (about 65 MO), Mori (64) and Rast (61) in there. It was bit like the mountain stage with the cobbles section, only this one there were no cobbles. Also just the fact that it was Efimkin (73) who won the stage is strange and that Medina was dropped before Jaksche, and that Chacon (79) simply couldn't reel in Del Nero (61) no matter what. I could go on and on
