@Shonak: That feels needlessly hostile. Betancur should be honoured to finish with Majka. 
@DarkWolf: Congrats! And dominox is the manager of CCC so I am implying he switched control from the control team to his own team to get that result! (I'm obviously kidding.)

Wellens doing ok so far, it's good thing we're moving so quickly so we can start the real season soon 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Great start obviously but I feel like this will go to Mohoric again in the TT. Ratto with his typical pattern to become completely anonymous after one great result.
Also nice to see some more stage wins for the new teams in San Luis. |

@Ripley Thank you! I knew that, I am trying to keep an eye on the competition. I played the ignorant card so I can smooth things with his PC and keep getting excellent results in the last 3 stages.  |

Not the best start in Pais Vasco. Hopefully the results improve in the other stages.

True, let's get to the Giro d'Italia.

Rui Costa - Andersen tandem doing decent again in San Luis. Second in GC after four stages, love to see it. Daily results not too good though, which is worrysome after Christchurch and knowing Rui Costa has a lot of one day races this season. At least he is scoring decently in stage races so far
PS: Congratulations to both DarkWolf and Laurens on their first win!

Pretty good start from Villella in Pais Vasco, if he manages to stay on the podium, then I'm happy.
Thanks for the results dominox (please stop bumping up the stats of your riders )

Shh! You don't know how hard it is to keep control team and exported excel file recognising those as your riders and changing team every stage |

Rather bad performance in Zabel's first race. 6th on stage 1 was OK, but 12th on S2 definitely wasn't. However, given that Grmay was in the Top 10, I wonder how that sprint unfolded...
Zabel then was strong on day 3, finishing in the front group - unfortunately, Huamán wasn't. The stage win by Gaviria on day 4 is great, however - winning a TT is something I'll probably never achieve in ManGame
Now, up to Gomez and Huamán to deliver a decent GC result, as I guess the next two stages will be too hard for Zabel.
I'm however even happier with the U23 team. Wearing the polka dots in his home tour must have been amazing for Espinosa, and Gorriarán already had a breakaway appearance, too. Good stuff!

I think even my riders don't know who the leader is right now in Pais Vasco with Dumoulin and Mollema at the same race. It's working out ok so far, with a TT to come I'm hoping Tom stays within touching distance of the leaders.
A youth category win for Koejoe ahead of Pogacar in Oman is quite impressive. It looks like he's going to be a really valuable rider for us in the long-term. KK finding out the downside of getting into a breakaway should be a good lesson for his development too

San Luis and Pais Vasco are done. National Capital Tour will be posted today's evening.
Spoiler Mohoric completely destroyed everyone on stage 5, Kwiatkowski had a bad day in ITT. Majka a bit surprise winner of ITT. |

Wow that 5th stage was ridiculous. I don’t understand how Lutsenko can loose 7 minutes here while in the leader jersey. But it seems like this game is coded for Mohoric to always win in the end, no matter the situation |

Disappointing outing for Moser even though the TT was good. Losing nine minutes on stage five is just unacceptable.

Nice to get the first win of the season, in a TT no less. So it was worth spending a little money on training to get him back to TTR 77. Shame that the gaps were so large he couldn't move up in the GC, not even past that pesky Betancur. But considering how much other riders suffered a day earlier it was a good race altogether.

I'm very curious to see if Talansky will be able to satisfy expectations already at his debut, the team aims to a podium spot.

Damn, not the best second half of San Luis. Costa dropped from second to ninth, but luckily climbed back to fifth in the end. Valgren Andersen couldn't make a comeback after that terrible fifth stage though. Nice to see one of ours in the succesful break on the last stage, just too bad he was the worst sprinter. Thanks for the results dominox
