Yes! Nice stage by Jang. I'm sorry for Euskaktel as it's really about luck to have someone in the day 1 break. I think the nice chunk of points we get in now could already be enough to have a big enough gap to prevent relegating.
Also nice to see Wang at 24th, seems like the home bonus makes him more motivated. |

Breakaway bug on hilly stage 1 strikes again. Starting to get boring, really
Brilliant win by Steensen. Not sure of the stats from the other guys in the break, but kind of surprised to see Steensen winning (72 hill, I think). Kind of surprised to see us in the break, would have thought Levarlet was too far up on the favourites-list for that. But I'll take it, hilly depth strikes again.
Have had a few shares of breakaways ruining my races lately (after the initial win/good result), Fear the worst here again..

This game-breaking AI behaviour is a huge shame...

Somehow, Raul arrived in the peloton. |

Glad we're nearly past the PCM14 AI, which is absolutely terrible in these hilly stage races. At least we have some tough stages coming for the GC guys to overate the break winners. |

the first stage does not deserve any comment from me, just a thank you to the reporter..
As for stage 2 is totally different with Kupfernagel to demonstrate once again that is doing a great season with success after success, feather not being able to achieve another victory.
Congrats to the winners so far

A result that makes sense. hiphiphooray. hiphiphooray. hiphiphooray!
Great effort from Manarelli there, best sprint of his season, a nice highlight for us to leave this race with. |

Routine stage for us.
Congrats to fintas, great win from Avelino. Also Karcher and Kupfernagel grabbing another good result in the fight for 7th. Truly great season from him.
Thanks for the report, Selwink.

Well at least my sprinters were at the front towards the end.
Kip using too much energy too early and Nepomnyachsniy seemingly coming from too far behind.. |

From a neutral perspective I really enjoyed this sprint (apart from the finish line thingy obviously). Many riders bothered, and it was really close until the end. One of the best sprints I've seen this season, possibly the best.

No points for Euskaltel, right? Good for us! Still nothing has been decided though, but I reckon we have a better chance from here.

Again a no-show from my guys. I would be angry if the ranking situation would be any different. Instead, I'm just thankful that the pace of reports stays good
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Meh, no Hoffman magic (yet). Now - can the GC favourites make good after the AI fuck up on day 1.
