Amount of stage wins is too high. Gratz to Nibs, very strong attack. Too bad that Herrada didn't react immediately and gave him the gap, looked like Nibs wasn't unbeatable that day. Bertie outfoxed Jesus but glad he is still 2nd. Important thing isn't the gap to Nibs but rather the first time cushion against the lesser tier riders.

Martin of to a good start, unfortunate to lose that minute due to a split. Lambert with a decent Avenir as well.

This concludes a week that might have been the best opening GT week by a team in any story game.
a bit of a gap for Nibbles which is a bit unfortunate. But i guess it is for the better as my team would probably die if they had to perform all the early chasing and jersey protecting on their own.
Im already wondering who does the leadouts? It seems like Engeldinger and Contador are consistently ahead of Ewan/Willwohl...
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Team matched Illes Balears of 2016, where Contador had 5 stage wins in the first week of the Tour de France.

What a great season for De Bruyn, he's probably ready for the big boys next season.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Kovacic fine in Spain, Spilak again not impressive.

7th place so far is probably par for the course for Porte. A little disappointing in the Prologue but a little better than expected in the climbs, so that has cancelled each other out.

Talansky not impressing so far, and neither is the rest of the team

Ciolek is nicely given Pedal Africa some limelight in the Vuelta. Two 3rd place finishes is really good from him

Really unnecessarcy time loss by Herrada and Nibs to Contador given how this was a free cruise for all three. At least Jesus is well within striking distance and the other riders are fairly gapped alright. Things don't look good for Santos, especially now that Elissonde is about to go full Verona on us. TVG, Porte and Dan Martin also very good so far, the latter suffers big time from the time trials though (4 minutes is the norm for him in a long TT I guess).

Come on Spilak, I signed you for a top 15... Sklar doing fine though, he may be one to look out for next season.

Pulido currently 3rd in U25 and 27th in the GC. Fingers crossed he keeps performing like that.
Hm nice work team

De Gendt's crash is awful, looks like we're leaving the WT.

Give the others a chance knockout
Porte has still not shown his Mr. Hyde persona. Just eight more stages to hope that Jekyll fights on!
