Conci finishing up where he needs to be. Keep himself alive in the hills and then look to the Mountains and the final TT.

Seemed we were pulling hard for Sosa for the stage, but the blocking in the finale took him out of it. Nice to see Foss was alert and in a good spot, so all good still.
Agree, agree and agree |

Oh man, this was so close Would have loved for him to take it, and be it only for a day. Maybe he can still get in in the next days. He's been really solid in general so far this season.

As usual breakaways taking the sprints and hills in Avenir.
Not much to see from our riders yet. |

I think we've joined more breakaways here then in any others race this year. And still half a race to go.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Good stage for us. Congrats Abhi, what a race for Philips, moreover your heaviest weapon remains silent yet!

Looks like Larsen took some tips from AKA after all. Sorry

Thanks  Kind of get the feeling we'll be riding for Eenkhoorn on the mountains. Might be a better ploy with the ITT anyway!
Nice 4th place from Welten there.

Can't fault the team today. We did a lot of work to catch the breakaway. but we still provided good support for Rajovic in the end. We're missing another leadout rider as Christodoulos is just a diesel TTer, but it was a good effort
Shame we missed out on all our chances for a stage win and now also just a point off from wearing green for a day.
I guess we now switch to supporting Pogacar to see how well he can do.

Not tasting success on the flat will soon be forgotten if we can turn it around on the hillier and mountainous stuff |

Peak did decently well today. Shame that Rajovic couldn't win after the great work by Swisslion.

Pretty uneventful for us so far. A bad prologue from Giannoutsos in particular, and then Aidan messing up the finale on stage 4 which he really should have won wasn't that good. The flat stages have been a no-show obviously with multiple subtop GC leaders in stall.
I have to hope for a stagewin on the upcoming stage 6, otherwise we'll leave emptyhanded.

Another good effort by Chokri, but I'm happy that the sprinters got their chance. Also kinda cool to see that the riders who got their teams to set up sprint trains actually go 1-2. Not often that this happens.

Nice to see the yellow-blues going for the breakaway almost every stage. They could just sit back and enjoy the ride but nice to see them active.

Scratch that nearly We're getting pretty much the maximum out of our team here, really good to see. Also, very enjoyable reports as always, Nemo!
