Another second place for cosmescu. And again a mistake by me, should have let Dormaar also attack on the first point... Although he has good hill and very good flat he lacks some timetrail to close the gap on the group of 12 who attacked earlier. Cosmescu has the green, but it will be hard to keep that one.

Felictations to Dormaar. Keeping in front of the peloton, fighting to get to the leaders. WTF... 1 flat Braida, 1 fall Corneille and 4 flats Fransolet. All in 1 race... Bad luck No I guess, I've got no injuries.

Cosmescu dit it: my first yersey of the season. By going in the attack he could take the necessary 3 points. Also a nice 3th place in general for him. Gives me 150 points in front of alesana which should be enough to survive the vuelta.
I stopped training on sprint when a cyclist reached 7. I rather train them on hill or flat for the future. But this season it makes the difference with the other sprinters big.

I, as a mountaintrainer somehow managed to win a 100% flat tour I am happy! Manussen is out untill the end of the season, but I don't care

Well, congratulations both of you (and the other winners) I thought you would go a 3rd time in a row 100% with Manussen. He had a beautiful lead after the first two stages of Portugal. Something you could not give away. Well done. The fight for 2nd place overall (in our series) is real excited. As for Joachim Cosmescu did a fine job as well. 1st jersey of the season. And a huge gap between you and me. Guess I'll have to battle for 7th place now, but I'll try to make it hard enough for 6th . Tomorrow will be a sad race for my team. Just gaining some experience. Stopped at 7 sprint? I've got only 1 cyclist with 7+ sprint. I'll have to train harder then.

I don't even have one with 7 sprint But sprint isn't that important for mountaincyclists I think. Too much sprint will cause a lower mountainskill and they will have to drop the leading group

Stopped at 7 sprint? I've got only 1 cyclist with 7+ sprint. I'll have to train harder then. There's no fight for the second place and i knew it long before. I am actually really happy with my 100 victory from yesterday. I can say that all my objectives for this season are acomplished and it doesn't matter much what happens. I just hope that I will be able to keep the third position, or actually that Rats won't be able to close the 700 points gap during Vuelta and last tour. As for me, the season is almost over, i probably still have one or two races with real chances and this is it. I would have needed a lot more points until now to actually battle for the second place. The fight now is between the first two and i am pretty curious if PAN will be able to keep the lead until the end. I am also really happy with the number of stage wins done by Puscasu in TdF in the last two seasons, i consider it a really good performance. Good luck to everybody in attaining their objectives for the end of the season. I don't really mean it for Rats, he really has a chance to take the third place

mmm... 2nd... 2nd.... 3rd... 2nd... You win and i take points... good for all... I'm not sure if I can keep the lead, but I'll try for sure.. even if i'm not sure to want to go in 1:1... I guess it'll be too much difference with top teams in the game... today I guess HP made the difference also in the final sprint, 4 Evcont's riders vs 2 of mine... otw I can't understand how he can win a mountain sprint... congrats... GL to all in the upcoming Vuelta!

GL to all in the upcoming Vuelta! What do you want to say ,Why shouldn't i win a mountain sprint? Never expected to win this stage, i can only believe that all the good riders are preparing for Vuelta and for this race only the worst were present and with low fitness. And there were only three helpers, but i never thought i will make it in the first group. Probably the stage was won by me because of the acceptable mountain skill and the good sprint skill of Radulescu. For me the question is now did he win the final sprint, but how did he was able to keep with the first group, taking in consideration the helpers didn't have very high mountain skill. What's more surprising is four of them kept with the first group, i think is the first time something like this happens to me.

What mountain skills do they have? Because my 7 mountain boys allmost all lost contact. I thought that with their hill and flat skill they were good enough but that was not true

I thought that with their hill and flat skill they were good enough but that was not true I've seen that people are pretty secretive around here. One of the four that finished in the first group is 7 mountain, while the others are a little bit better.
