Batshit crazy stage. This couldn't have been scripted.
Not elated to lose the pink jersey, but at least no gaps between the favourites, which is pretty interesting for us. Also Reis is now our undisputed leader to the AI.
Congrats knockout! Brilliant day for Evonik.

Congrats knockout, close to being an oracle there, just the wrong name ;-)
Good to see Cattaneo doing so well on a hilly stage, I fear every one of them

Oracle? I predicted someone who was imo the top favourite to win the stage. Instead I've got a outsider winning from a midstage attempt. Couldn't be much further away from it
Thans everybody

Was just one day away and 3 reports are available, amazing pace, thanks SN!
Stage 3: Another better than expected result for Vesely. 5th place is a surely a good one. Zhupa down, hopefully not injured.
Stage 4: Can't be unhappy either. 4th place for my TTT squad with two of my Czech riders being the powerhouses is a superb result. Great GC place for both Danacik and the most importantly Velits.
Stage 5: Nice to see Velits being active, but the final result is somehow boring, hilly stages has to be strong ones for Velits in this race to succeed.
Congrats to all the winners. Interesting to see so many changes in Maglia Rosa.

Horrible progress lately, three stages past (thanks SN) and little to show for. Guarnieri with a day to forget. Points jersey will be impossible to get once Alarcon starts. Gratz to the recent winners of previous stages.

Cheer up old bagger. Still a good number of stages for our sprinters to screw up
Howard seems to be on a mission. He's tried this tactic before and now it worked! Great victory congrats jt!

This is so bad, waste of racedays for Ahlstrand and me who thought I managed to plan this good when Swift and Degenkolb was not here.
Still we are doing work every sprintstage but we are never even close to the win. Change tactic, please. Stop chasing get in breaks we obviously only have a 80 sprinter here |

With such lineup, I could hardly ask for more from this race. Well done Gougeard!

Better late than never, I guess. Too late for a decent race, but we will attempt to scavenge whatever points we can at this point.
Good to see that also Kastrantas are looking to get into a BotD. More like that is needed.

Howard! Good Aussie win there. Still a shame that it never worked to trade him to Jayco.

Good to see Groenewegen and Olivier in first rows of the finish. Seems they both have healed up from injury.
Gronewegen apparently needed a relaxing day though to attack again in 2nd and 3rd week of the race as he was a no-show today. Won`t complain as his stage win basically was already all I wanted and hence everything on top is bonus by him.
Olivier though now needs to ride aggressive as the 3min loss in GC is difficult as no elite climber and weak time trialist. Hopefully a chance for KoM attack as well alongside climbing up the GC.
And joining breaks is wanted on those days. Villella and Boom definitely need to try more often instead of just staying with the others.
Funny to see Koep that high up in the GC. Wonder if this could become his best GC result ever. Most likely he drops again to his ~50th to 60th area but if he can somehow get around 30th - 40th this would be great to see.
Congrats JT on the win and thanks for the report! Looking forward now on the tougher days. |

Kragh Andersen most likely injured from his crash earlier and Lövkvist (?!?) takes his position instead. Not ideal and true it did not work well Vedel Kvist was not very strong either. To be honest Van Poppel (if i remember right) is a better leadout then Kvist anyway.
So another bad stage from us, still not even a podium by Ahlstrand.
Cheap wage next year I hope  |

Two Top10 finishes for Caleb Ewan, the youngster showing some promise. Good riding from the Aussie against better competition, but proving that he'll be a real force when max'd next season.
And i gotta catch up on gifs in honor of two pretty good results....
