There you have it, congrats SotD. That must have been Tzortzakis' big goal for the race. Glad to see no GC crashes!

Well well, I won a bet and Ulanowski actually did a good job, shame he lacks both a real acceleration and a proper top speed, but the positioning was perfect!
Krasnoperov still hasn't lost any time on his own, quite incredible!

Another 2nd place 
Roturn, I need a stage-win here! At least some performance from Goss and even though Festina had the better train, I'm impressed by Li's effort anyway. I don't feel like Goss will win a stage here, so our goal is now more up to a lucky break, I fear.
Funny to see the guys complaining most about the PCM AI getting big wins so far here 
Crazy Oz helper? He didn't want to be named?

Congrats SotD, nice to see your guy finally winning something, what it makes it special he wins it on his home soil in a GT!
Nice to see Vesely again in top 10, keep it coming Daniel!

A Greek stage win in Greece, pretty cool! Festina can really take advantage of the weaker sprinter field here when they have Coquard to lead out as well.
Metinvest having a really lucrative start to the race - and it's not been too bad for O2 Cycling Project either.

What the actual fug Jurgen Roelandts.
You come here as undisputed team leader, and produce 38th and 13th in the sprints. Unbelievable...
Massive shame about Cunego Although hopefully that means he will be aggressive.

Another nice stage for us with Guardini's 4th place, he picked the right wheel, but was boxed in a bit there behind Goss. Great train and win from Festina, cool to see domestic winner in Greece. Whinning is actually working, so you also need to try harder tsmoha.
Nope i hope Ignatiev will be attentive in the next stage and will be able to hold on the pink jersey to make our first week even more massive. Cunego, Ricco are not a problem with their time loss. but guys like Schleck will be dangerous for this goal.
Thanks for the nice report Roturn!

Great leadout by Festina, you could see that Tz... The Greek had the most power at the end.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! This was absolutely the goal of the season for my greek departement of the team. FINALLY we manage to bring Tzortzakis forward, that is so very pleasing!
Coquard and Gasparotto did an amazing leadout. Those are the main leadouts for the majority of the season, so I really hope that we can get lucky from time to time and make a train like this. What an amazing feeling.
Thanks for all the congrats guys. A congrats to you guys aswell, for having been able to put up with the moaning for this long

Prevar showing himself, great. Hope he can do something again later this Giro, perhaps at stage 15 which looks interesting.
Kononenko and Topchanyuk taking time to be able to join a break later in the race, and Krasnoperov still hasn't lost any time except for the TTT

Very very nice to see Cunego taking the win here. He deserves that on what is likely his last good Giro - And after the puncture obviously.
Ricco did well. Didn't force anything, but sprints to 5th is really nice. Now fingers are crossed that Tzortzakis can, again, do well in the sprint.

Congrats, valv. Indeed a very nice victory for Cunego today!
Happy with Grivko showing himself and doing well as 6th on the stage. Also Pozzovivo seemed to be right up there. Would have preferred gaps though, as this could have been a small chance for Pozzovivo to grab pink
Thanks for another quality report!

Pity there were no gaps for such a large group, Kirsch really should have taken the U25 lead from Durbridge there. Great to see Schleck finishing right with Madrazo though, and this time after Quickstep did a lot of work during the stage while we did not.
And in general, gaps on hill stages like this would be nice to see.
Cool for Cunego to give Meiji their first GT stage win though. It's his 21st MG Giro stage now too.

Great and deserved win for Cunego after disappointment in stage 2, congrats Valv! And thanks for report Roturn.
From our point of view another great stage. Ignatiev was attentive and strong enough to gain another top10 placement and keep the maglia rosa, perfect. Still three riders in top6 of GC, where Popkov replaced dropped Hacecky. Nice try from Popkov, we are very visible in our first regular GT appearance.
