I have a suspicion you forgot to put Ciolek into the startlist file and just make up his finish position so it is just outside of screenshot range.

Believe it or not, Ciolek has been in 3 screenshots I've taken so far, so no

I must've been busy googling "effective ways to kill someone" while scrolling past them.

Ah, that was close. Great sprint from Guarnieri, but when he's beaten it's good to see that Kristoff took the win. Always a man we cheer for a bit extra, even though it must be said that he looks a bit better now than he did when he was riding for Risa-Ergon Congrats on a great win, ember 
Thanks for the report, matt. Quality reporting so far

Nice reports so far and congrats beagle+ember!
This race has just a bit too strong startlist for Grosu, but nice top10 for him in 3rd stage, which gives him the white jersey now, in front of roturns guy. Would be nice to hold it, that would bring some points at least.

Brilliant!
That was very unexpected as well, seeing how the sprints so far this season have been, but great to see Kristoff is capable when he finds the right wheel and is not forced to jump out of the slipstream too early. That's kind of a relief after all the money put into training.
Hopefully Kristoff can build on this and defend a top 5 overall placing on the final stage, but now this race is a success no matter how stage 4 plays out. |

I don't like mass sprints out of our control, eventually happily take 10th plave after such poor showing today. Congrats ember, Kristoff already deserved some success
Warning to all cyclists, don't forget to take parachute on start today!

Great stuff from Ovechkin, didn't get the KoM, but being 16th in GC is very good for a non sprinter!

The fact that Verona is ahead of Maksimov in GC pretty much sums up this race for us.

Why can't it be me? - I love KoM jerseys, and have a bunch of riders that should be good at it.
Oh well, I will just have to enjoy my greek riders setting the world alight *Said before Tzortzakis crashes out on the final stage*

Because your riders are capable of doing good GCs and high finishes in the one day races. Leave the KoMs to those who need them.
