Thanks! And very nice results there. If I'm not mistaken it means that I have won the U23 individual crown thrice in a row which is damn cool.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Good racing, thanks Croatia and bikex!
Not great U23 work for us, but Bucaramanga was pretty great, watched the whole video thinking Kwiatek was too passive but he was there when it counted and got on the podium, Nice also to see our team protecting him really well and getting a man in the break, that's how I like them to race. Also great to see matt take an important win with Moser.

The last CT GT has been started! The Vuelta a Colombia opens with a TTT in the snow...
Spoiler Of course no points from that, but a good showing from our Blue Water Project in the upper half of the TTT rankings.
Completely forgot that Richie Porte is the TT WC

Nice 3rd in the TTT opener! Puts Kudus in a great position early on

BOOM!
A good start winning the TTT and Lars on top of the pile. Last chance saloon for Porte to salvage his season. Monfort's good form hopefully continues.
All teams seem to have dropped 1 or 2 riders by the time they finished!
Thank you Bikex and Croatia for getting us going again

Hoping for a bit of breakaway magic from Pulido and Cuadros in the coming days. There form has been stellar in the past U23 stage races, time to make use of it in the bigger races too.

Pretty decent start for us with 6th in the TTT. GC wise Caruso is hopefully going to be his ever consistent self and take a shot at the podium.
Thanks for the report Croatia!

Here goes a race I'm very interested to see - Ospina and Siskevicus leading here backed by a very good Colombian/NZ/Spanish climbing squad. The fact that Bravo and Ospina dragged our best three other climbers to within a minute of Lufthansa is reason to celebrate really

Dev team 5th in Vuelta a Colombia TTT
Suspect this will be our high point unless we can get in a break.
Thanks to Croatia and Bikex for the reports

Not bad from Ospina, slightly dissapointing from the others.

So much for consolidating on the TTT advantage. Aru wipes it out in one stage! We still have the leader's jersey, but only just. Will it be Porte or Portechkin going forward?
Protecting Boom was unnecessary also, he wouldn't survive at the front in the high mountains anyway!
