One of the best MG duels i have ever seen, with great reporting. I enjoyed being a spectator in this years Dauphine. 
Well done Rein, congrats to Bouyges to a great race. Rein is perfect stage racer for PCM13, with good acceleration and flat stat, he has no bigger problems to follow riders with +1-3 in mountains when he is on good day.

Congrats Crommy... It wasn't surprising that Taaramae took about a minute on the TT. I already called that a couple of stages ago. Spilak just wasn't able to make the mountains count, so the win is fully deserved for Taaramae.

Big result for Boutgues here sows massive seeds of doubt in mind of Spilak and his festina crew.
2nd time in a few days...
You really don`t like my team I guess. 
Sorry matey no offence - kinda goes back to the previews when it seemed to be a Rothaus confession that they bought a couple of mediocre stage racers and hoped for overperformance. Think LLS slightly overperformed here (like GM in Giro in terms of points scored). Would actually love Rothaus and Bpost to remain in Protour to be honest.
Their are a couple of teams that are doomed Prio Porto and ING I think - then two more. I would say Santander (with mb now fairly long time inactive) are the team I would most like to see go down out of the rest.

No worries. 
Actually I had hoped for more than 7th when planning my season as I had expected the best climbers/stage racers in the Tour de Suisse. So point wise I thought to do better. But the PT is just too full with top stage racers. So in that field 7th is pretty good but less would have been a small disappointment for the mentioned reasons.
Prio, ING I agree.
Santander I hope to keep behind me as well. So 2 more and sorry, Count, CrueTrue, Heine, I can`t really hope for your success in the 2nd half of the season. |

Fantastic duel for the overall win, fantastic reporting as well! And I am really happy with my decision to send Rujano here, it paid off in the end, even he is a bad TTist.

Pretty sure I was cheated for a win on stage 5 That being said, 3rd in GC is great and satisfactional. Had plenty of fun watching the duel for the win while still feeling pretty sure that Rujano wouldn't be able to take my 3rd place. |

Wow. I knew it was a bad move to basically sell Bouhanni for nothing in return just to fit in a big leader when we promoted, but I wasn't expecting to sell a future WT stage winner....congrats! 
LLS doing a good job on that hilly stage to give Rothaus something to cheer about for once.
Is it only me or does Taaramäe put in a great fight this race?? Really good performance and a deserved GC win for him.
Sicard slightly underperforming doesn't really help ING just as it happened with Machado in Suisse for Prio.
Bongiorno with a nice 43rd overall (11th U25 after all), thus getting more than just the points for finishing, and Daniel not missing a time limit is good work.
