I like that from JJ and of course the youth and KOM lead for Jacobsen!

Van Poppel is clearly disappointed after the Moscow affair 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Thanks. Bananito surviving the first two stages and doing well in the mass sprints. Good signs of his form.

Slightly worse result from Rabottini than what i had hoped in Jurassaine. And also no show from our other climbers, with all of them finishing outside top30

No further comments on the Giro for me, apart from: POINTS OMG WE SCORED POINTS
Froome doing what he has to do in Russia is awesome, shame he couldn't do it in Jurassaine.
Howard winning is the biggest miracle of the season for me, especially since he didn't sprint to a single top-10 in the Giro

4th in Switzerland is fine for Herklotz, but the real surprise is Egner on home soil in white for a day and 11th on stage two. Great rides there, too bad Jacobsen is U25 too.

Sensational win from Caruso, he's really making up for his lackluster start to the season.
Thanks for the report Abhishek!
Edit:
Rankings look a lot better as well.

Henao's off to a good start in Guatemala, and we've been in breakaways as well. Not a bad WT showing so far for the Caribbean project

Suntory going through a purple patch!
Podiums in Moscow and Horizon Park and stage wins in Deutschland and Guatemala, good job the sprinters are on form as Coppel is continuing to have a terrible season.
Need Bardet to not give away 3 mins at the start of our home race in Japan, please.

Stage 3 and Stage 4 of Deutschland Tour: https://pcmdaily.c...st_1282798
Spoiler Stage 3 was another won for the sprinters. A couple of unexpected names in the first group on stage 4.

Glad to see Bennett in the stage 4 selection, rather wanted Rojas to make it Happy to see Albini also having a day in the KOM

Spoiler Unfortunately Quintana to crash out in a descent and so we didn't get to see the big duel between Nibs and Nairitio. Very sorry for that, Croatia.  The AI was acting a bit weird, too. Many crashes throughout the race, incl. Velits and VDP, too.
Guatemala stage 5 traditionally insane. Mollema with a big push early on lost a huge chunk of time as he run out of energy. Dan Martin with a fantastic performance,
if he only could have kept up with Nibali he would have been surely able to make up significant time for his bad time trial. Pinot with a bad day, losing time early on but clinging his way back in one the groups. Dombo with some nice riding, too, but like Martin he ended up in no man's land. Tilgen, Goos, VDP, Spilak and Coppel rode very conservatively and had the energy towards the end. At times it was really hard to keep track of the groups.Sorry for that.
Sevilla seem to continue their recent rise with Gautier's stage win and the 4th place in the GC. Relegation battle seems to heaten up. Despite henao's bad performanc e on stage 5, Cool Runnings with the KoM jersey for Castle, which is cool but also speaks volumnes for this stage. Carbonsports also with some unexpected poin ts,
I guess.
Pretty odd that on a stage with minute gaps, in the end 3th to 5th are separated by 2 seconds.
