Disappointing to lose the GC podium on this stage, hopefully we can grab it back in the other mountain stages.

Wow, great victory for Garby! Congrats bbl 
A much better day for us today, with Olsson in the break and Sterobo, clearly encouraged by his countryman, all the way up in 31th place on the stage. Hopefully some more breakaways the coming days.

Amador dominating the race as expected, but Garby actually doing something this season??  He might get to win ToA if things continue like this for Carlsberg

Yep, we rolled the "do sh*t all and be dissapointing" dice for this race. Has to happen to someone, at least we're not a team built on stage racing GC's so the damage is minimal and another manager isn't crushed.
Really, it's all ok and we'll be back for another race (or maybe we'll snag something lucky here, still time)

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
Now that was unexpected, but it's exactly what I love to see. Going out there, striking early against far superior climbers on a good day of form and making it count. I really didn't expect this, even after the attack, and I couldn't be happier. Seeing Garby win in PCT is one of those things I dreamt of when I first signed him. Who needs Contador anyway? 
In my mind, this race is now a success for us as long as Garby finishes and gets maybe a top 15. His current podium will be impossible to defend with the likes of a hilly stage and time trial coming up, but I'm fine with that. He did his job. Looking great for America!
Thanks for an awesome report!

Oh man, had zero expectations for this race and with the knowledge of PCM bad history with 77 rated riders, it is truthfully fantastic to see Poljanski in 6th position after two hard stages. Us having a rider in the breakaway, just shows that the AI at first didn't expect us to do great. Guess we have struck some luck here

Oomen trying to get in the break, but failing. Extra frustrating if the breakaway makes it all the way to the finish line after that.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Would have been nice to get a guy in the break, but obviously I'm happy just to through that one safe and sound. Ranneries sprinting was also nice just for appearances. He could have had a top 10 if not for the break, but I'm not gonna sweat those few points.

Well, if Ricki isn't going to sprint brilliantly at least he's not sprinting brilliantly for the not win! #alwaysanupside

Olsson in the break again, great! Hopefully he'll continue, trying to keep himself in the KoM fight. A little pity that the just missed out on the stage win, but very happy still!

Great riding from VDB in the first 2 stages managing to finish in the Top 5 in both of them. Novak making our team's race even better managing to take a fantastic stage win from the breakaway.

- the owner of Slovenian Cycling's future, I assume very happy about the result 
Should be a great win for you, given the Euskaltel and Isostar userbars you have Either way, gratz to LLS!

Alright, 1 more stage out of the way. Tomorrow will be the toughest test for 70 hill Garby. I'm pretty worried, but I hope he can at least stay in contention for a decent minor placing afterwards. We'll have to see.

Ah, had hoped it was Olsson when I spotted our jersey in front of the break. Unfortunately not, meaning we didn't get much out of it. Important stage win for Amador thinking about the points jersey, that's probably sealed now. A pity that the results didn't export, as I would have been interested to see if we managed to get a guy in that group and perhaps sneak inside the top 50 in GC. Thanks for the report anyway, tsmoha!

At least Carter Jones tried. That's all I can ask for at this point.

Looking good. Looking forward to next stage, where we might be able to seal a Top 5 before the TT and hopefully end up with a Top 10 from this race. Poljanski might've not done spectacularly at this stage, but at least he has an edge on some of the Top 10 riders.
