Still 3rd overall with bonus seconds afaik
Hmm then it's wrong on PCS, where he's listed finishing between 1:45 en 2:15.
Will probably be updated shortly. Thanks!
yep, updated on PCS
in other terms: my second low-buget rider (besides Kump) for Velogames looked really good today and seems to be Giants captain, would be great to see him performing here...
Had a really good 2nd stage on Velogames. In especially when seeing that Gerrans and Haas both were in the crash and didn`t score.
McCarthy and Dennis though topped it.
Hope that Fernandez, Woods and Pantano also start to score today.
This was a great ride by Woods. A pity that the way up was a bit too short to make more time. Good to have him in the Velogames team. He should be a real threat on Willunga Hill as well.
A weird stage as it was totally different to recent editions, where the peloton split into pieces early on. Today quite a pack went onto the last climbing kilometer, hence much bigger group in front and lots of riders in the +13s group.
McCarthy struggled today. On Willunga Hill with an uphill finish, he might lose more time.
Big losers clearly Nathan Haas and Jarlinson Pantano. Both aimed for top5 here and both lost big time.
Sweet Woods. Shape or general qualtiy doesn't matter that much, the guy is a late bloomer at that and his progress is great to see and obvious - definitely on the right track; also his Utah performance was really outstanding and was a great hint to his quality.
Any body know the schedule of Henao for this season, will he focus mostly on week stage races?

PCS have him listed with this schedule.
05.03 Strade Bianche
09.03 Tirreno - Adriatico
04.04 Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco
17.04 Amstel Gold Race
20.04 La Flèche Wallonne
24.04 Liège - Bastogne - Liège
06.05 Giro d'Italia
I`d say he could lead them in most of those races. Possibly together with Kwiatkowski in some.
At the Giro he is going to be a great support for Landa.
Thanks. Mhm I hope they keep him away from Kwiatkowski because the pole is far more flexible in stage races (extending time in TT, stage wins etc), so Henao is likely to be always second to third guy in the ladder.. But Henao in combination with Landa could be potential dynamite: Landa riding himself in form for Giro as he far away from being a master at weeklong stage races, whilst also assisting Henao at times and Colombian insteads gets lots side-action in races such as Tirreno and Pais Vasco. Very explosive duo at that, too. Very bad at Time Trialing too, I imagine. So, they'll be fun together.

Actually they mainly clash in classics such as Bianche or Ardennes Week.
Kwiatkowski is riding P-N and Algarve.
Good chances for Henao in T-A where he is riding with Landa, Poels and Intxausti. P-N clearly the better lineup imo. Same in Pais Vasco with Landa, Nieve.
Gerrans did well to come from 6 or 7 back, he had loads of ground to make up in the last 200m.
Velogames is looking good with Woods, Dennis, Gerro, Henao up there for GC, Ulissi, Ewan and Kump weighing in and even Herrada making the second group today (may go better on Willunga...maybe...). Only really Moser disappointing, who'd have thought it

Great finish. Really enjoyed that.
Quite impressed with especially Woods, but also McCarthys defense - both seems to have chosen wisely to peak early.
It makes sense that both of them have come out firing this early in the season and this race suits both of them. I'm really impressed by Woods and hope he gets his chances throughout the year, McCarthy is no surprise at all, he has a heap of talent and works damn hard

Woods is a very savvy racer it seems, he knows exactly when and how hard to attack to stay within himself. He seemed pretty reserved with his attack today because of the descent after the Corkscrew, so I can't wait to see what he has in store for Willunga.
Well done by this fan, great gesture and also fair play by race jury to keep Farrar in the race. If it was me, I would have feared for my bike's safety tho, given Farrar's reputation.

I have a good run. Leading the Velogames after Stage 3, which surprises me since Nathan Haas and Jarlinson Pantano are not scoring despite their announced high goals.
Was a good idea to replace Pelucchi very late with Blythe after People Choice.
