At least we made it back for the start in Luxembourg, unlike Delgado did in 1989 
Disappointing result of Kneisky, but it's not disappointing anymore. Nice to see Beyer stepping up to finish 8th and take one point, his first of the season, becoming our 15th rider out 17 to score points this season (only Fernando and Stacchiotti left to score).
Great report Croatia!

Expected invisibility on our side just hope that will change now.
Thanks for the report Croatia, looking forward to when you start the “real racing” reports

Complaining always helps . But it was worth the wait! Great result and a great report, thanks Croatia.
Me finally (halfway) solving my computer issues helps. Also I needed to prevent myself from writing a HQ San Sebastian rant about team tactics again

Glad to have you back Croatia, even though you've helped Mullen and Hacecky along to another wack result 
Very nice write-up

Flaksis didn't start off in the right foot.. But the loss isn't big so I'll hope it isn't much of a difference. Very excited with what Rinner can do though.

Nice for Jams and Schomber to get mentions, and not a disaster for Roux I guess. Nice report Croatia, can't wait for the road race ones!

Gabby didn't win?
Luckily he still kept the youth jersey to give us a few points there, now I've just got to hope the team I've built around Hugentobler can deliver big on the GC.

Flaksis is dead and three other riders lost huge amount of time.. Well that's it for Benelux

Horrible for Drucker to crash in a big race yet again, I feel for you Abhi
Urgh now Clarke with multiple important crashes this season too... hope Schreurs at least uses it for breakaway purposes. Roux and Jams safe is nice at least, the former very attentive with strong support is great Gratz to Vien, Kaisla has been a great loan-in for you and this is a great showing!

Well what can I say, goal race is a bust on the first road stage itself. With it goes probably our chance at promotion. Well done by Kreder but he should've beat Horton. 3rd place is fine though. Will take a miracle to get something meaningful from this race now...

Congrats to Vien, nice breakaway win.
What a horriable crash feast (again) too bad
Thanks Croatia14, as you said Gatto was the favorite but it is Gatto and he's on a low roll all season.

I hate breakaway wins, especially when we aren't in there. I mean, there's no reason why we shouldn't get in breakaways... 
A shame about the crashes, with myself losing that a rider that could surprise like Marcato. Gilbert had an easy day, so that's all that matters. About Drucker and GvK, i honestly think that they were not threats for the GC in any case. They have probably lost a chance to get a stage win, but it was probably going to a breakaway that stage, so nothing lost imo

Woooo Kaislavuo!!!!!!! Now that's a pleasant surprise. Thanks for the congrats all, thanks to Croatia for the report and thanks to Atlantius to for giving me Kaislavuo for a year
Glad my three puncheurs stayed safe too, hoping for no major gaps tomorrow so Schoonbroodt will get his time to shine in stage 4! |

Oh no... Schoonbroodt lost two minutes Judging by the results he stayed with Kaislavuo... Gonna need some huge time gaps in the next stage or his GC will be ruined
Grats to Booker for the win though! Also Garmin's results this stage |
