Liberty Seguros is back, Ceramica Panaria will have to wait a bit longer.
Fine start to our first focus race, Schorn just missed the stage win, but great team strength and Tao is already wearing white.

Tachira S4 - S6 posted https://pcmdaily....st_1361421
Spoiler Very bitter to have lost the stage win to Gautier on stage 4 with Orbe and Bonifa in prime position coming out of the downhill section. Bananito not quite with the same climbing mojo as last season but still holding his ground.

Konrad with an off day on stage 5 but Rosa is doing very well! Will be a close fight between Contador and Bardet. |

Majka not attentive enough on stage 6, hopefully he can reclaim the spot on the podium. Tao Hart still unable to shake off Arbe, but he remains in white.

Shame that Dombrowski lost time on Stage 8 of Tachira. Was going really well before that. Still in the Top 10, so that's good. Svendsen has been quite good here as well.

Off to ride all day long. Tachira and Paris-Nice wrapped up and on top MSR.

You deserve a break, Shonak, thanks for all the results and videos.
A successful focus race for Aviva, I believe, what a relief! Well done, boys! Good race from Majka, take that, jandal!  Hart, Duarte and Schorn added more points to the board. Slight heartbreak is Tao Hart losing the white jersey on the last stage, the time keepers may well have played a role.
Lucky break for Thomas in MSR, a big name crashed just ahead of the Poggio and only 25 riders competed for the win.

Tachira was forgettable. Ulissi as always was absolutely great in Paris-Nice. Stage win, GC win. Sad it's only CT race but I really like sending Ulissi in PN. And MSR was also forgettable. It's still early season, but I guess I gotta say - goodbye WT, lol
Shonak, thanks for all the results and videos. Tempo is absolutely amazing. We didn't have ICL for more than a year and when it finally started, we almost finished March already |

Danny, you can't do a 3km sprint.. Use your head for once will you. Really annoyed by the AI this year.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

A bit disappointing to lose time on the last three stages but a GC Top 10 is a good result from Dombrowksi in Tachira.
Degenkolb finishing 3 minutes down in MSR isn't! Getting Yates looks like a survival question now...

Hey, I'm happy for you - I just need to frame it as some nameless, faceless, Aviva rider had a good race 
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Amazing photo finish with Phinney almost almost taking his first monument in the team  So close but he's doing exactly what is needed of him, not a pure sprinter but netting some big points with these hard races, which will happen again in the cobbles

Amazing results at Tachira for us! Get in there! I believe we could call that a succesful first focus race for Sevilla... We finally get going, let's hope Bertie can keep the good results

11th at Tachira is fine from Caruso. Nothing spectacular but about where he could be expected. 12th at San Remo from Puccio on the other hand has to be above expectations, so I'm very pleased with that. Unfortunately it doesn't really bring a lot of points.
Thanks once more for all those results Shonak!

Henao crashing out of PN on S7 - when poised in 4th with the MT TT to go which I think he would have be strong on. That after some silly time losses on S6 put our huge team lead a risk. But we hungon for the Whilte and Team prize so not a total loss but that is a lot of GC points out the window. Ugh.

Great ride by Bardet for 2nd in Tachira.
Superb team performance in MSR with Smith and Pedersen giving Cav the help to a very narrow victory!
Thanks for the great reports and videos Shonak

Another MSR for the Manx missile 10 years later, who'd have thought.
Shame about Rosa losing 5th on the last day, but nevertheless a good race from him! |
