Not too bad...Roe still not too far behind. I doubt he will get the win but a top 10 is definitely a possibility! Von Hoff has a couple of opportunities coming up as well!!
Nice report once again!

Brajkovic turns back the clock yet again with a 5th place finish  Hoping for some breakaways in next couple of stages, so he can rest up for the final stage.

Bardet finished 3rd - shame he didn't had the legs for the win. Yet we have fighting chance for Top 5 finish

No Doubt about Kebebe’s priorities, he worked hard for his Capt., quite happy about that stage. Young Masaki Yamamoto doing everything possible to seek the viewers’ attention, nice though probably not getting anything out of it.
@Yellow Jersey : Great ride Congrats.
@roturn: Thanks for another quality report

Great win for Andorra here. YJ has built a super mountain team in CT, and it's clearly paying off so far

Honestly i don't see what Delvaux is currently doing as luck. Even with Guarnieri they've been clearly unlucky so far.
You could argue that having a rider like Vichot in the break today is kinda lucky, but Kreder and Kadri are perfect riders for this stage

Delvaux on fire
Good stage from us too. Young Rui again in the break to take the pressure off the rest of the team. No one lost any time and Pibernik looking slightly better in the finish.

This stage had Delveaux written all over, it was nice to see Vichot taking it

I would strongly disagree with that statement....
Im so close to disbanding now. Nothing has gone right in two seasons so far.
I brought an entire team for Modolo, but then the team won't ride in the front to bring back the break or even give a leadout....
Happy for sykkel, but you know, more angry at my team.

Wow, what a performance!   That's the single best stage I've ever experienced in the ManGame, I'm pretty sure. Thanks for the congrats!
I knew this stage would suit several of our guys, but sending Vichot in the breakaway as well was a stroke of genius, and he played it out perfectly. Feel a bit sorry for Equinor who came so close to winning their first stage here, though.
Looking forward to next stage now, which should be our last chance of gathering significant points (can't really expect Kadri to defend a top 10 on the last stage). Hopefully Kreder will do as well as he did today.

Agreed. We've had a few unexpected results, like van der Haar's 4th place in Viano do Castelo and Vichot's points classification win in Langkawi in addition to his breakaway win on this stage. But we've definitely also had a few races that didn't work out as well, notably with Guarnieri as you say.
All in all I'd say we're about even on the luck scale

Must admit, while the first was really hoped for, this win now came really surprising.
But as I was expecting, Coutinho would be the most consistent or best sprinter in the team. Already did well Last season for Porto iirc. |

A somewhat unexpected win for Coutinho in a hard finish, congrats roturn!
Bit disappointing by Kreder, while Kadri does well to get 6th. He's in a good position to win the points jersey now, though Teuns will surely challenge.
Hope we can get someone into the breakaway on the last stage, preferably Vichot, though the climbs should be too long for him in any case. Then we'll see what Kadri can defend in terms of the GC-

Another breakaway appearance for us, couldn't have asked for much more. Last stage will decide how well this race has gone.
Thanks for the report and congrats on another win

Good effort by Kreuziger, sadly ran out of steam at the end. MAL needs to deliver on the last stage. +5 please
