Well done, team, to keep Mohoric among the fire riders! Brilliant result for us GC wise, only loosing a handful seconds. Bodes very well for his GC chances. |

A bit further behind than expected. Yes, not a full team but most of them are solid TT riders.
Not making it easy for Goos as outsider to gain multiple spots and must hope for some great days form wise.
Might give the team a bit more room to ride active as well now. |

Thanks for opening the race, Abhishek!

Not totally happy with the result regarding the finishing position, but the time difference is rather low, so nothing is lost yet.
Congrats duolingo! |

Second TTT of the season and we have gotten a DNF and a total massacre. At least some things stay the same 
The number of teams finishing at +4s is spooky
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

We didn't do too badly at all here, even if a short TTT is largely redundant. I don't think we'll be competing at all in the overall here unfortunately but we'll see what Fraile can do, although I'm not expecting anything as he's not winning the race right now.

I thought I had a sprinter here.

Zmorka in the KoM-jersey for a day is nice. A bit sad that it's his best performance so far this year, but yeah Congratulations on the win to SotD, and thanks for a very fine report once again to Abhishek.

Freaking awesome! This was exactly what I had figured in my dreams when picking the squad. Farantakis and some solid TTT riders to keep him close, and then win stage 2.
This couldn't have gone any better! Also Kelly and Kiriakidis sneaks away a point each. Not much, but so far I have quite a lot of these minor points.

Very glad to have won stage 1, a major bet we had decided to take in this triple-header. It's great to see your plans come into fruition. However it is ridiculous to see Bobridge lose time ending up in 20th something. That's really annoying.
Was hoping to see us cruise up to stage 4, but those small margins were never going to last, I guess. Wondeful victory there SotD, congrats!
Thanks for the reports Abi. Looking forward to the rest of them!

Good to see Gidich attentive and be towards the front, getting even a top 10 on a flat stage. I assume he was the rider of my team that was part of the first group after the split. I hope Mano will be more cautious in the coming stages.
Lutsenko is getting dangerous with collecting bonus seconds on a flat stage.
Congrats SotD. |

Off to a good start. Super tight TTT which could have gone a lot of ways, but a decent result all in all. Very nice to see APP being so attentive and near the front, and even securing a top 10. His first proper good result for us, hopefully that's a good sign for the rest of the race.

Nice sprint by Lutsenko! Some very welcome points and even bonus seconds.

Solid start for us regarding the flat stage. Kragh doing what I hope he can do more of in flat races/stages, and 4th is a good result. Mohoric safely through, and also attentive during the stage, is promising. Hopefully he can fight for our first great GC result here, that must at least be the target seeing how it stands before we get to the hils. |

Controlling the sprint clearly isn’t possible with only Kelly as a somewhat fast rider, but 5th is OK and as we keep the lead and points it’s still a decent outing. Kelly lost his 3rd in KOM but added a point from 9th on the Stage, and Kiriakidis still 3rd U25. Pretty solid all around.
Congrats on a Nice win! :-)
We basically tab out of the race here so it will be interesting to see how things develop.

It's good to see that Thijssen tries to join the sprints. This stage in particular wasn't really to his strengths with the inclines in the finale but it is promosing that we might be able to get lucky in the remainder of the season with him.

It's a good thing there are no points at stake here, but it makes me even more uncomfortable about Bonifazio this season.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Mano always towards the back of the field is making me worry. Hope in the hilly stages he's more attentive and doesn't waste his chance at a good GC result. |

A bit late to join the party, but congrats to the stage winners so far! Duolingo are really rocking those TTTs so far (Polar as well, actually)!
Farantakis has now become a hero if I remember SotD's mythology post correctly, and Kamberaj's win was really convincing. Unfortunately, chaotic sprints are nothing new, but from time to time they aren't too bad at least. Lots of lucky guys with all of those gaps not given though ^^
Fun fact: De Stijl and ELCO both have wins on the first 3 stages of T-A and P-N - so in theory Duolingo should take S3 in P-N
Looking forward to the more interesting part of the race now

Zmorka the mountain hero continues his brave adventure. Got to give props to the man for wanting to prove himself after a disappointing start of the season Congratulations to jph on the win and thanks for the great report, Abhishek!
