I seriously underestimated stage 3. Thomas not with his best TT, either, should have been a minute closer to the winner. He can still improve his GC position on the last stages.

I was suprised to see these gaps too, a very significant change to last year's stage profiles. Would have been good to bring a top puncheur for sure.

Two stage wins and the points jersey for Cav in ToNE, great stuff.

Well done to Degenkolb in World Ports Classic and in ToNE so far. Stage win and 2nd in the GC is a good result in Ports. In ToNE, couldn't really help with the ITT but has been very good otherwise.

Oh, I did... well, Hardy is the best I have. He beat Thomas on stage 3, but of course he lost 3 minutes on stage 2.

Most overperforming rider this season imho, wonder how he will be 81 hill

ToNE wrapped and Tour of Rio posted
Bit frustrating to have Cordeel in the break when Romero Martinez was far behind and could have had a good chance at the stage win.

Good to see Lutsenko giving it a fight but Mohoric just had too much of a gap
Surprised Kwiatek wasn’t in this race. |

Strong ride by Matej, also Vorobyev doing very well. Our ITTs are still abysmal despite all the investments in that department, the Vanmarcke-Jungels trade doesn't look particularly well now. Still the ball keeps on rolling and we are doing very well which is awesome to see.

I think I prefer the other TONE variant. The stage win was a nice surprise, we got a couple of decent GC results, but Hardy was terrible and we should have been in the breakaways, especially on stages 6 and 7.

A stage win with Schär was nice, but wrong to take Vanmarcke here despite the cobble stages

Degenkolb did a fine job to get 9th in the GC in ToNE.

Nothing gc wise, but what a race that was for Aregger. KOM and a stage win for him, very nice.

Amazing start to Baltic Chain by Degenkolb. Lavery was doing so well but looks like he crashed out!

Scary Degenkolb. Slim pickings for the CT teams so far.

Degenkolb one-man show in Baltic assures a successful race.

First ever victory for Edward Birch! Congrats! In total a really good performance by our B team, I think 6 out of 7 riders scored points.

As always, thanks for the results, Shonak. Mauritius was one of the better U23 races for my modest team. Strong startlist in the USA, not much of a Froome-Herklotz showdown after the German crashed on stage 2.

Goncalves doing well, same goes for Kelderman in the lead over Froome. Let's keep it for some time.
