A stage win and leaders jersey isn't enough for you already? 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

3 guys in the top 15 and no one in the top 10, frustrating stage for us to say the least. Haller seems to be totally overmatched in pct competiiton |

not if a team that is very close to mine is also close to take over the jersey

Dissapointing to not see Modolo compete on stage 1 but he made up for it on stage 2. He got out of Van Asbroeck's wheel but could not completely pass him. Congrats to Lierse.
Also anytime Pozzato is mentioned or does something usefull I'm happy

You realize that Lierse is fighting against relega - nevermind

Congrats to Lierse on a good win Happy to see Goss actually contest the sprint and make the front group with guys like Mohs dropping off. Hopefully he can keep it consistent and keep it up. Thanks SN

Goss not at his best in terms of positioning. Seems he won't grab a stage, if he is always too late to the party. Nice to see Ji sprinting to bonifications though.
Mohs bouncing back after yesterday's bad news. Congrats.

Goss' positioning is god-awful. He's making a lot of ground, but it's hard to achieve much when your starting in the car convoy. The first race in forever I can remember being so close in the u25 ranking; the team's definitely having a good race as a whole, if only Goss could be a little better

Awful positioning from us this stage, Our youngsters got caught napping and we lose the white jersey in a very silly way. Van Asbroeck nowhere to be seen until he jumps all the way too the front in the end, but too late.
The GC fight will be interesting with 2 stages to go. Can Kump hold on or will his team relegate?

First of all this is kinda cruel, as we could've been at the top of the GC if Mohs hadn't decided to have an off day, where weaker riders were in the sprint yesterday.
On the other hand great sprint by Mohs, which proves he's not that bad as a leader. Thanks all

Yeah why not going waaaaay to early here. Now it will get really tough to defend the jersey, 3 stages that don't suit us really well coming up...

And once again I completely miss being in a race. Good to see Pasqualon joining a break and climbing well, and Serebriakov sprinting. However stage 3 has to be his most idiotic sprint ever (and that's quite a surprise actually). He did well to hang on in stage 3, grabbing some boni seconds in the other stages could bring a good GC. No need to take these stupid risks then.

Was definitely a route more suited to Caleb than Ricki, but can't send him everywhere. Ricki holding up his end just about although we might have been better just going with Mitch/Souper and their better climbing abilities being allowed to freelance.
Still, few more stages left to get some more points in the bag, and we're doing well enough here to support our mid-table position.

Great to see Sinclair in the break, even though not going for the bonuses but he's already out of most classifications. Hoping Drapac can recover from the setbacks of the past two days to end with a bang!

Vantomme is nothing if not constant, another good showing, especially on difficult terrain once again as well as Reckweg ding some weird stuff but good work, I'm really pleased with 4th, especially as he gains some time on his biggest GC rivals at this point, with his biggest rival the train stealer being the only GC threat coming closer.
Great for Mohs to win after his bad luck yesterday, also cool to see Bar performing as a nicely statted rider. Thank you for the report SN!

Impressive work by Fablok. Mohs might even get inside the top 15 if he continues like that, at least a small comfort after the second stage.
So far a very good race by Van der Sande. Could be som very good and needed points for Haute Route.

Goss 
At least Drapac as another former Ozzie did well on the stage.

I totally missed Bar taking a great podium on stage 3, what a result! Makes me really happy to see him contribute some points.
Kump looks consistent enough to take this, but it'll require some more work.

Much better from Ricki! More of that please. And first real sighting of Hyunh this season, hopefully a few more breaks will come along before too long
