Lo Cicero is really shitty this year. 
Grosu pretty bad this time, but that field is too strong yet for him.
Congrats SN, that was a pure gold from Swifty there to storm in between two other favourites for the win!
Good for us that Rein lost the jersey,but that was expected at some point before the mountain stages.

Swift sure has been on fire so far! Will be interesting to see if he can make it 3/3 tomorrow and what sort of an impact the hill shortly before the finish will have.

Kristoff getting closer to something with 11th. Hopefully he will be able to continue to progress.
And the perfect start for Vesuvio just continues, well done there to Swift, proving he was the best sprinter in such a sprint from a slightly difficult position, is Bewley human after all? The next two stages should be more to the liking of the Kiwi and especially Van Stayen with sligthly more hills to handle. |

Gratz, SN.
Ozzies, keep on attacking. I like it so far. Too bad my squad is so shabby, even for breakaways

Casually reading the report with no expectations. Altur misses out on the break, go figure no KoM jersey then. Skip to the sprint, wait a second Maksimov is showing his face again. And he finishes 9th!
*Goes back and looks at the profile...
Either the Russian Rocket is on EPO or PCM is broken. I think we all know by now it has to be the first reason.

Nicely done by Tom David... Of course the KOM jersey would have been amazing, but second is nice aswell. He seems eager to attack which is really nice. Ayubowan! have some sort of patent on those KOM jerseys it seems...
Still 1-2 in the Youth competition aswell.
Vesuvio is going to kill it here, there are already close to 200 points after 3 stages.

Stage 2 was pretty crap for us, but stage 3 made up for it. Very happy that Roux is in polka dots, while Vanderbiest did well to take 5th after choosing the wrong wheel. |

Decent performance so far. We actually had someone in the break when also having a leader for the GC, hasn't happened that much. Unfortunately Aberasturi still isn't even joining the sprints, but i guess i can't complain when looking at Lo Cicero.

Another waste of race days for Stauff & Kluge. Why the fuck AI almost always build 1-2 sprint trains only???

Congrats to SN again. And thanks for taking yellow off our shoulders, means we can save energy and not chase for the next couple of stages

3 trains, every stage. Van Stayen deemed better than Degenkolb, so gets the 3rd train after Vesuvio and Becherovka.

That's great from Kristoff! A fifth place shows he's capable against the best, which is nice.
Congratulations to Roman, getting one back on Swift and Veusuvio. That fight for green should be very, very interesting.
Zabel is also doing great so far this Tour, punching well above his weight.
Thanks for the two reports today, SN! |

Bummer. But well, as previously said: maybe it's better for Morton to enter the final week somewhere between 15-25 in the the GC 
Again nice to Ozzies joining those breaks, even though it's obviously not resulting in anything special.

Take it easy SN, I won't be able to maintain my 1 stage 1 post this way!
BTW as a breakaway team I like the time gaps, whole team now on +1'44.

Pichon chose the right stage to attack this time. That is Nice to see! Also Kastrantas tried early.
This was the one stage in the first 5 that could potentially end with a break, but too many top sprinters are here to fight unfortunately.
Keep it up guys!

Nice win for Bewley, rider of the year...
Pretty happy about Zabel aswell, today he tried and was just not strong enough. Still extremely consistent, if he could just find some extra power and steal that stage win... Monsalve in group 2 is nice, lost no time versus other top 10 canidates
