Absolutely nothing for Suntory in March until Tachira goal race and we get a 1-2 in stage 2 and Bardet is looking in good form, we really need to keep this up to save our spring.
Thanks for the amazing pace, struggling to keep up!

https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1279837 Stages 2 & 3 are there from Paris - Nice!
Spoiler Statoil very unlucky, with an important helper crashing out on stage 3 and Guardini crashing late on stage 3. Ludvigsson also involved for Polestar.
WWE & Peugeot dominating sprint trains so far, with Balkan doing some work too for the leaders jersey.

Andrea Guardini had a puncture or something on stage 3?
Very dissapointing performance on stage 2 at least.

Nice to see my mediocre no. 2 sprinter (Van der Sande, SPR 74) coming 4th in a mass sprint. I really should have saved money to afford a better second sprinter, that'll be a goal for next season.

Yes perhaps the pace is too high, should I slow down a bit? 
Anyway, today's Tachira stages S4-S6 uploaded. The race keeps it racing to a max, with every stage being an intense battle. I recommend watching the videos, really PCM racing on a high note with great graphics, too.

Spoiler Particulary excited of Bananito's second stage win although it was scary good to beat superior climbers there. Perhaps the leader jersey bonus may the difference who knows. Barguil also with a much deserved stage win after lots of previous attempts.

Don't you dare unless you have to
Glad to see Rivera in the breakaway two days in a row, but I was hoping for something better from Anacona...
Thanks for the updates! |

Great stage win. Awesomely done by Vanendert, who also looked nice on Stage 6. Shame he had an off day.
Quintana fucking up everything he can. Doesn't look like a Top3 competitor here. Betancur and Barguil continue their season of overperfromance, that is stunning! We only have the role of the guest here it seems. Tough to see the race favourite always just being the 5th or 6th guy to react.

At least I have some good news: Stages 4 to 6 from Paris-Nice are here, and they were all very well fought out!

Ooooh, the lead for Fuglsang after the queen stage, I'm getting nervous! In hindsight a race I should have taken Schorn to, he possibly could have competed for 7 out of the 8 stages. Nice to see Van der Sande with another good result, though.
I always watch your videos, Shonak, even if my team isn't competing. They deserve more views, every PCM.daily member should be following the action here.

Alafaci third outta nowhere... Nice to see both Ulissi and Chamorro in the top 6 so far. Sad that Ochoa lost on that 6th stage some time. It would have been great to have three riders in the top 10. |

Oh no... what happened in S6 that only 40 riders were in front and Rabottini lost over 2 minutes?

Check the pictures under the post  splits occured after some combinations of corners on the flat, so several riders got caught - and then it was a men's race, flat powering for the full race in both big groups, with several riders falling out the back in between the groups

Sadly Freddie's crash put a dent on our overall ambitions, but since he has nothing to lose he can be in breaks more often. With P-N reaching its climax, it's time for Kangert to solidify his good performance

Man, stage 5 was a huge bummer for Herklotz. Sucks to have an off-day in a C.1 race.

Ponzi is having a great race in France, i was anticipating a lot less than that actually. Maybe I was just a bit too pessisimistic after he was mostly a non-factor in flat stages last year. But the whining seems to bring success in the MG so maybe I should keep that up.
Cattaneo in 14th now, which is not bad, but basically only because he managed to stay in the front group in the 6th stage. The mountain stage was pretty poor from him.
