Good start! Not involved in the crashes and Boasson Hagen picking up a top 10, seems like he is a better sprinter than my sprinters as well The points may come in handy for the points jersey. Congrats to Iberia on the win!

Impressive by Howard there shame he hasn't just took it as the 1st stage is always the best to win points wise but a podium here is still a great ride |

Another packed PTHC field, which is nice. Hoped for slightly easier opposition when sending Kristoff here. Very cool to see us do a leadout train on the first stage, even delivering Kristoff int a very good position. Fourth place in itself is a good result, but seeing how the leadout unfolded, I indeed hoped for a podium. Hopefully we'll have another go at making a leadout train, as it's a great thrill to see
For the GC, Beltran is our obvious hope. A top 10 feels like an ambitious goal, seeing the riders present. We'll need some luck, I suspect for it to happen, but at least we should be able to fight for it, which is always a good thing
And congratulations on the stage win, beagle! |

Not a good start to the race for us. Only PCM knows why Siskevicius leads out MVS when i have three other sprinters here including Dzamastafuckinggodic. And that stupid corner...
At least Strava scores some points in the battle against relegation although that could have been more too.
congrats beagle
Noe looking forward to the next stage to see how bad the AI will be ...
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Flügel will need to be on top form to pick up decent points against this PT opposition.
Congrats to beagle for the narrowest of wins.

Avelino down. Mas on the up. It'd be nice to have some luck at this point.
Congrats beagle.

Yes this crashing all season long for both of our teams is quite annoying to put it mildly. Nonetheless I'm still pro keeping crashes in the ManGame.

Finally racing again with an actual ambition! Really looking forward to see Ponzi compete, a podium should for sure be possible here.
Positive sign of an alert Ponzi on S1.

Oh yay. Bouhanni crashes again, there goes any hope of him getting any results in this race. And even better, Zardini crashes and then loses almost 6 minutes, that's what I like to see!

Lame. Borges again better than Bobridge. Well. Key stage will hopefully go better.

Well done Waeytens, I'm so glad you focused on letting our sprinter Pelucchi finish in front of you to boost his moral. Who needs GC points anyway?
A breakaway at some point would be nice as well.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Not exactly what we were hoping. Boasdon Hagen should have challenged for a podium in the sprint, if you ask me. Fortunately not the biggest gap up to Ponzi, and it's the next stage that will be decisive. Congrats to dev on the win, lovely ride from Ponzi!

Pichon holding on to the big guns. Exactly like I had hoped when I decided to bring him here. Guarnieri also with a nice performance on s1. Race is going good so far.

Good stuff by Beltran, hanging on in that chase group. It means we're in with a shot at a top 10 overall, and I can't ask for more.
Strong win by Ponzi, clearly timing his attack to perfection. Congratulations, dev! |

Important result for us. This is the sort of stage where Borges can prove his excellence. Not too tough, thus not too selective and with a fast finish. Yet an overperformance I reckon. The next stage should prove much more selective though.
Ponzi with a strong ride today to put him on the pole position for GC, gratz dev! Still everything to be played out in the next stage.

Good stage for us. 2nd and 4th gives good ranking points, Skujins picked up some bonus points and both him and Van Stayen are looking good for the GC
