Well we have shyte TdF squad - blandy mcBland Spilak grinding around to 8th or something but Roman came and saw and just about conquered a so-so Austria field needing the chrono to finish off Froome bum bandit Poels.
And we're back! Nieve and Ospina already a minute behind but Appo well into the points lead and looking good for a win soon is good - our GC start isn't.

So your favourite doped up crazy race in Portugal has started First 6 stages uploaded and some good solid action to be seen on these first few hilly uphill finishes. Asmara Cup also posted.
I'll be home in Tyrol over the weekend for xmas so unlikely anymore stages will come until Tuesday.

Missed 4-6 - nice win for Diego after hard work over the last 18 months but Nieve not good enough, Ospina even more so

CarbonSports beasting away from anybody else on the cobbles and proving once again why we are the #1 classics team around
Would have loved the stage win but claiming yellow and green on the same stage is awesome enough. The way the GC looks now we could keep the jersey until stage 10 and if my team can achieve that then the decision for Sagan's Tour comeback (he didn't ride any GT since the very first ICL season) might turn out as a decent decision which I seriously doubted back in season planning.
So enjoyable to see homegrown talents Geyer and Eisaks delivering such huge turns to distance all those superstars ! :
Shoutout especially to Eisaks who delivers the 4th 4. Place in 4 stages
Congrats to Celesio. If there's one rider worthy of winning such a stage it's Degenkolb
And Asmara Cup... brilliant team performance! Not sending Sagan or Betancur was a big gamble as the race would have suited both of them very well with their fantastic acceleration but the result could not have been better. Benoot as first riders behind those star attackers as 5th is already a good result which would have fully satisfied my ambitions but also finishing 9th, 11th, 14th is superb.
Thanks for the results
Especially for making a video of the most exciting tour stage
Tour de France: I came without expecting much, so basically we exceeded everything we had hoped for already on the first stage Styby also performing very well somehow, shame he couldn't get yellow here but with Sagan that's kinda imaginable.
Asmara: Gilbert hasn't let me down this season, and this is a good continuation of that. Though a win would've been nice a 2nd place shows some incredible consistency and is still a good result. Some more minor points would've been nice though.
