Alright no time lost on Rogla's side, but I feel like he could have done better than 15th in this stage. No huge bummer at all though, onwards.

Nice to see Piccoli do some work today, sadly Dexia couldn't capitalize on it!

Not happy with stages posted today. Degenkolb failed agian despite of great support. Tenorio was attentive, but allowed to gain vital seconds to main rivals. More whining about Izagirre´s performance would be just waste of words.
Thanks Aquarius for reports, pleeeease do me some joy and let Dege win tomorrow

Appollonio and Pelucchi are incredible. Pity Van der Sanden didn't want today.
Pity for beagle. Far from ideal.
Looking for the next stages. Let the real GC fight begin. |

Pelucchi got more out of this race then we could've hoped. His contract is safe for next year. Carlsberg doing even better, great for them. You gotta feel for Degenkolb though..
Thanks for the reports so far, enjoying this race a lot!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Lol @ Appo. Think I wrote in my preview that Appollonio wouldn't really be a big scorer, but he just doesn't stop be amazeballs. Almost getting ridicilous.
Congrats to bbl, nothing I would love to see more than Carslberg staying up. Looks like no.problem with these kinds of results.
A shameful race for Degenkolb. He really, really, really should be toying with these riders.

Ohhh that was close! Thiery doing what he was paid minimum wage to do and more! What a breakaway performance, I'm really stunned. Shame for the heartbreak in the last metres, but it would have been wrong to run with the victory in my eyes, especially seeing Iberia's team here.
3rd place is still huge in a race where Roglic is the one who's supposed to deliver. Can't wait to see what happens next. Thanks Aquarius for the vivid reports!

Oh man, heartbreak city for Thiery! Congrats to Appo though, that was incredible. Sad days for Dege however, but I'm sure he'll bounce back next time.
Thanks for the reports!

Thanks Aquarius for phenomenal reports! Absolutely loving the detail, it makes the racing so much more dramatic.
Appo is performing beyond not only my wildest expectations, but my wildest hopes. I kinda feel bad for beagle here - stats wise Degenkolb should be winning here, and it's never fun to see your leaders just not perform to their capabilities. I know how that feels.
That being said, phenomenal sprinting by Appolowino to catch Degenkolb and the break! Couldn't be happier with this race so far. We're performing better in PTHC than PCT races these days. Maybe Appo can even hold the points jersey now?
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

Trash stage for Roglic, you just can't lose 14 minutes to Slagter. At least he's not in bad company, others were just as bad, commiserations to the other managers that have been struck by this bad luck, a negative form in this stage can absolutely kill you.
Also, PCM, please... How are you going to justify sending 3 different riders in breaks? First Tanovitchii, then Thiery and now Molard? Can't you just let 1 go and let them accumulate points like any other non-garbage AI would? It's pretty minor, but jeez.
Thanks anyways Aquarius and congrats to dev who's got to be over the moon lately. Carlsberg really being lucky lately too, but good on BBL.

Wow what a stage. Too bad Pichon abandoned few stages back, he could have played a major role in that race and surely would have benefited from this crazy hilly stages. Well done to Hugo Boss. I take it May alone will keep them in the pro tour with such results.

And this is exactly why I inquired about Slagter literally every off-season. What a stage.

Duarte lost only 37 minutes. That's good at least. Ford also brilliant
