Yes, it wasn't even exciting if you see the result of today As I told Borrego even lost more time than I expected, more than 10 minutes! Anyway, a 3th place with Borrego is superb and totally not expected. Also the green jersey is for my team. Margiotta is a great cyclist Now some smaller tours. I don't have many good cyclists left

I'm very glad to see my rider won :-) SUPER! All the hard work wasn't for nothing ;-) Even more excited to see he finished 9th of whole peloton. Indeed now some smaller tours, i'm hoping for a stagewin because with only 3 stagewins it is still not so much

I don't have many good cyclists left Always complaining uh?! but in the end you took division first position! I want it back! Seriously i tought i was going to be way behind in the division ranking after the tour... glad it's not true! anyway now every point is good to fight for the promotion.... the real question as usual is whether it's really good to promote risking to race against Peloton monsters!

I was asking myself the same question Next season the divisions won't be easier, but even way harder If I don't promote next season, no problem but I would like to go to 2nd And I wasn't complaining I am happy with Borrego's result and the green jersey The only problem is that I don't have many good cyclists left for those smaller tours But I guess the other teams don't have any supercyclist left neither, so we fight with equal weapons

A good Tour de Suisse, but it could have been better Today a missed stagevictory caused by a flat tire. But Manussen got the green jersey, so he won at least one price For the yellow jersey Boivin was just to strong. He really managed to reduce time losses in the mountains and probably has a great flat skill to win today.

Garen falls twice and only get's the 10th place. But I didn't expect a victory with his low steering and balance. Two jerseys is a good result, but Quiller is again way to strong. Maybe if Van den Brandt hadn't lost some minutes in the first stage due to a fall he would have gone all the way today, but I made the right decision.

The 2nd time Borrego gets a flat tire and he misses a stagewin. Roquiny even 2 flat tires with 17 steering Not my lucky day... Bertol and Lestrade are the two cyclists who try to go for the pink jersey. I hope Borrego can defend his 3 minutes advantage tomorrow...

Sorry Borrego wasn't able to win today even without flat. (the hill training has to pay off sometimes ). Anyway Bertol is not going to win... too much difference with Lestrade in the next flat races...probably will keep his third place...but keep an eye on Lestrade...maybe some nails on the road could help! Not a lucky Giro for me as well. Bertol again a flat tyre with 20 in steering.... and after the Tour also the Giro is gone. Tamagno always on the ground...he couldn't race for the pink jersey but at least for the green one (italian for mountain jersey). Anyway it's a tough and exciting season ending for the first 3 places....too bad i will be on holiday the next two weeks and not able to comment them with you guys! good luck!

To be honest, I think Borrego would have won without that flat tire He would have build up a little advantage before the final climb big enough to win the stage.

After today's result, the championship is almost a fact. Tirreno and Paris-Nice should have gone terribly wrong to miss championship, but Gabillet and suprisingly Hercor did a great job. Tyssaen had a big advantage in the last stage, but he wasn't able to make an effort as huge as hist last one. Gabillet could follow today and took the yellow jersey. With also the second place for the team, thanks to Hercor the first place can't escape anymore. Let's hope for another jersey in Paris-Nice and good classification for Margiotta and Manussen
