Ruiz in the attack sounds bad, but to be fair with his 66 MTN he holds on longer than Seboka with 80 usually  Would have been a good day for Petrovski, hopefully he attacks on the fifth stage. Congratulations to Berg, and thank you again Abhishek!

Another good stage finish for Kraftwerk. Depth working well with 5 riders in the top 30 and up to 3rd in Teams.
Thanks for the report Abhi, highlight was there is a roof in the road 
Congrats to Berg.

Good stage for Martin as he moves into the Top 5. Quite anonymous which I'm hoping means he's conserving some energy to support his efforts in tomorrow's mountain TT and to then make a move on the final stage as well.
Borisavljevic hasn't looked good but I'll accept that if it means a strong result for Martin.
Thank you once again for the report!

This is exactly the type of stage and breakaway that should have been ideal for Ndayisenga. A bit disappointing that he didn't try (why Mugisha, of all people?), maybe his positioning at the beginning of the stage prevents him from it. One more chance on the last stage, though.

Good shtuff from Denifl, that's quite an overperformance I'd say, but now he needs to not mess up on last stage and hopefully climb to 5th to kinda salvage the race, as it looks like we won't be getting any GC points, I forgot it's only 30 that get them

Wellens!
Another bad stage from Oomen, would be sad to see him finish outside the top 10 here.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

No clue why Uran is so mediocre this race. Could still be a lot worse but a top ten would be the bare minimum.

Strong performance there from Martin without setting the world on fire. He consolidated his Top 5 place by actually moving into 4th!
Going to take a strong end to this race to remain in that Top 5 but he’s looked in pretty good shape so far. A further positive out of a negative, Borisavljevic is further enough down that he can sacrifice himself completely for Martin to succeed!

A stage win is a nice consolation prize, but doesn't really make up for being 7th in GC... Hoping for a big final day. Thanks for the report.

Frustrating performance from Carthy seeing those who finished ahead of him, but if I'd been told he'd be 5th with a stage to go at the start of the race I'd have been more than happy with that. Hopefully he can hang on tomorrow, or even attack Martin for 4th. |

Didn't expect anything and didn't get anything, that's alright. Thanks for the TT report Abhi, by far the most annoying ones imo Nice win by Tenorio, I hope he can win some places in the GC tomorrow, and the same thing goes for Oomen! If one of my riders gets a top-8 result in the stage or KoM I'll buy everyone a beer.

Initially i hoped for a top5 result. But seeing the packed startlist, the top10 result and the depth scoring its a good thing.
Thanks for thes results and congrats for the winner |

Not fantastic. I believe that's 65 points, which is less than ideal from last Denifl tour. Noone in the breaks during those massive breakaways is sucky to say the least. But well I guess we'll take it, it looked even worse at first

I don't know which is worse, our domestiques' stupid attacks resulting in Oomen dropping further down or Abhi trying to convince me several times that Dall'Oste is still on our team
Thanks for the reports and congratulations to the Pluchmaster!

Oh god what a huge disappointment this race has become. Uran only suffered a minor decline in the offseason and goes from a podium contender to not even able to make the top ten.
Thanks for the reports AbhishekLFC and congrats PluPlu!

Two beers for everyone it is!
Seboka, living legend, he does it again. Most of the time he is worth nothing, for example recently struggling to finish inside the top-50 in a C2 classic (Sakartvelo) with most of the CT leaders not even there, but when he has a good day, he's capable of winning a stage in Trentino, and now even finishing fourth in C1 and taking the KoM! Our first "win" outside of the CT divisions. He probably even outscores Marquez in Vineyards, which was far from predicted Iirc he had a stage top-3 last year as well in Andorra, so I guess he likes it here. He might even be one of Los Pollos' top-5 scorers this season. Might say more about our strength than anything else, but still, unbelievable
Thanks for the reports, Abhi
