You gotta be kidding me. Carthy worked for Aranburu all day and loses a minute? Absolutely unreal. Ai destroys our GT on day one.

Hum, guess I totally underestimated the difficulty of stage 1. I really thought it'd be a good opportunity for Errazkin, given his decent climbing skills, but never expected it to be a full GC stage already. But with Xuban being 2nd best among the pure puncheurs, there's hope for some later stages, maybe with a late or mid-range attack.
Stüssi's positioning in the front group clearly wasn't ideal, but I hope he just had bad legs - and he doesn't like hills that much after all. So avoiding gaps is the only thing he has to do on the uphills, and he did that. Except for the monster up front, but yeah, maybe Herklotz will be beatable in 5 years or so. Congrats to cio anyway, definitely the ideal start, and I sure hope we'll get some variety in the stage winners list Pfft
Really weird strategy by Carlsberg, AI probably getting confused by the presence of both Aranburu and Carthy - the latter getting blue, but basically throwing away his GC chances already... Sucks to see.

Thanks for the report.

I guess so, but bizarre when I've sent Aranburu to GC races including GT's for the last 3 years and never had this problem. PCM's always doing something new to screw with me it seems.

Shame Lutsenko got cooked, but nice job by Carboni

Brilliant report! Thank you for covering the action very well, kb!

Great to have Laporte in the breakaway and even grab some KoM points. Fingers crossed he can do it again and claim more points and maybe even the jersey for a couple of days, as he is really close. For our negative, AHJ loosing almost four minutes is very worrying, as I fear it will give him no GC rider treatment, and thus he will struggle for a GC ride and also not fight for white. But we shall see, PCM tends to be full of surprises Pfft

Congratulations, cio! Really the perfect start for Herklotz, and also seeing the pure puncheurs get dropped with a significant gap, all +35 or more, should see him go pink all the way. Though, as was said pre race, his support cast for mountains and difficult stages doesn’t look that great this time around, which makes me hopeful for breakaways in the third week.

Well, I said maybe Fouche should lose time, so we made 60MO Yacine Hamza our leader on the stage. Elite tanking strategy from the boys here Pfft

15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

More time losses for both Foss and Plapp. Not a ton but it adds up quickly. So another stage that wasnt good for us.

Nice to see a proper puncheur win on a stage like this!
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

We're really not playing it well here. Errazkin at least getting our first point of the race, but I expected way more than 10th place on this stage. Szarka in 12th on the other hand is pretty surprising, hopefully he'll have the same great legs in the actual sprint stages.
But Stüssi not being attentive at all isn't great, he not only missed out on the front group (understandably due to low Hi), but was even at the very end of group 2. Hopefully he'll move up some positions after the TTT and will then be considered a real GC contender, otherwise this could be a very bad race for us.

Congrats to Gazelle, really strong start for you - not so surprising from Lutsenko, but I definitely didn't see Carboni's podium yesterday coming. Well done!

Thanks for the report.

Solid stuff by Gaudu. Hopefully a sign of more to come from that side!

Terrific effort by Aranburu to once again distance our GC leader and ending up with nothing. Pfft

Guess it's good that he's at least active since Carthy clearly doesn't care about GC. Gotta score something.
