Still in the top 10. Ablenado has been racing well! Fingers crossed he can continue this form and help recover our terrible season so far!

Wow, the team heard my cries of despair, they are on a roll here. Boivin taking a stage on his home country and then Amador with an awesome ride on the first mountain stage. My hopes and expectation begin to thaw now.
I hope we can keep delivering in this race and the TTT stage would not be too cruel for the team.
Thank you very much for the reports!

Ah the curse of a good leadout!
Should be a fun couple of days, well done Dark Wolf yesterday, can't see Amador losing this one...

Another solid result from Abdul Halil without being anything special.
Our attention now really turns to this Mountain stage. If we want a chance of winning the GC (or finishing 2nd to Amador) then Mas has to be in form and raring to go tomorrow! Anything short of aggression and attacks from him would be very disappointing.
Thank you again for the report and eagerly anticipating an exciting Stage 6!

Tivani, intent on showing up Keough as the useless bastard he is.
Hopefully Kuss takes inspiration from his teammate's performance.
Thanks for the reports.

Excellent to see Brenes doing a tremendous job in keeping Amador safe and protected. It's also nice that Amador added 4" to his lead, not much but we'll take it. Now, we need to pour our very souls into the TTT tomorrow to keep the yellow jersey. Hopefully we can do that.
Congratulations, LLS, on the stage win and thank you very much for the report!

With just 17km of TTT you would think Brandt is safe in top 4,although the 5th place guy has the strongest TTT.
Straight shoot out with Mas for the podium with Aramco having the upper hand but don't write Glanbia off in a Time Trial

Happy to see Mas taking the stage win which looked deserved given his aggression throughout the stage. Unfortunate that he didn’t attack from further out and put some real pressure on Amado and Ellisonde for those top 2 GC spots.
Big job on the final stage to hopefully make it another stage win but also to ensure Mas gets 2nd. I doubt it’s long enough for us to make up the time to HelloFresh and Volcanically but it’s worth a shot!
Thank you for another great report and hope it’s a strong end to the race from us

Battaglin, really putting up a good amount of work here to keep Ellissonde in it! Bar the best TTs of Mas and Amador's lives we're more or less set for the points jersey, guaranteed second in KoM and now it's just a bout limiting the losses on the TT, if Ellissonde keeps a top 3-5 spot here I'll be super happy. Thanks for the reports!

Not a great day for Kuss, bit too punchy I think, but he hangs on to 6th in the GC. Not sure what our chances are in the TT. Kuss is one of the worst which will slow us down.
Might have been a day for Revard and McNulty to stay with him but nice that it seems like McNulty protected Revard and the latter went for the stage which is the reverse of what they did in Colombia.

We didn't win the TTT, but overall we're impressed with the team's performance in Vancouver. Top 5 GC was our primary goal and was achieved and Brarta got a Top 10 finish no less + the obligatory U25 win. Guess there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately this will be perhaps our last achieved goal for the season as the next 2 goals set are win goals and given that Aramco is more than likely to field Mas, it's unlikely that we'll win either goal. Though I'd be happy if we keep the form from Vancouver.
Also, congrats to LLS for the stage win, DarkWolf for Amador's GC win and to redordead for the reports

Good outing for Glanbia, especially Brandt.
Thanks for reports and well done to winners. TTT was unlikely to change anything and so it turned out

6th I can live with, 2nd and 3rd in the young rider with Barta in a different class.
Thanks for the reports, as always, plus few extra moment of panic while I figured out our time was 20'54 not 22'54.
Congrats to DarkWolf on the win, Amador assets his superiority.

Another strong stage from the team and a well deserved TTT victory. We were favourites and lived up to that tag there.
About as good an end to the race as we could have had following the disappointing early TT and first mountain stage.
At the end of the day I can't be too disappointed with 2 stage wins and 3rd in the GC! Obviously wanted to win it but it's a result that keeps the points flowing in, the only issue being HelloFresh did well too 
Congrats to DarkWolf on the GC win and thank you very much for the awesome reports red!

Thank you, guys!
The team did a tremendous job here, I am delighted! 2 stage wins with Boivin and Amador and of course the GC win by our fierce leader, Andrei Amador. And we are still adding to these, Brenes 14th, Jpsue Gonzalez Cortes 22nd and Jesus Herrada 25th, Kevin Rivera 5th in Youth Classification, Amador with 3rd both in Points and KOM classifications and the team 2nd in the Team classification. That's quite an impressive haul of achievements for Volcanica - Fox.
Thank you for the awesome reports!

Somehow forgot that Vanc is a TTT, really solid result for us, thanks for the reports and congrats to DW on a solid win for Amador!
