No points unfortunately. Let’s see if Edmondson frels like sprinting.

Amazing start to the race for us! Great stuff from Howson and Cataford. MVD also in a good spot for the moment. Benoot losing some time as expected.
Thanks for the report!

We need Kaczmarek to hang up there in order to get something out of this race. Thank you so much Imladrik for the great report so far  |

That's poor from Kopfauf, but points are welcome I guess

First of all thanks to Imladrik for the nice reports. Then again, everyone in our team is already far behind, so let's go stage hunting from the breaks.

Catastrophic second stage for us. Not only did we miss the podium despite having 2 favourites. We also lost a big amount of time in the GC for Debesay. Absolute catasrophe...

Good to see the team tries to make the most of this race, Sommer in the break seems a solid choice.

Really good stage for us, obviously the biggest difference maker for us here is Gamper getting destroyed by the gaps.

It wasn’t exactly the two riders I would have liked to see in the front group, but atleast we didn’t have anyone in the 3rd group.

At first glance I thought only Mohammad made the split and I was cursing but there was Gage, a little lower than ideal, but safe. Anonymous success is fine with me.

Good to see Stallaert attentive, but given how well he was positioned in the sprint, the result only underscores how much of his quickness he's lost. Nonetheless, a good step in the right direction after his horrendous prologue. We'll see how far he can go.
Shame that the rest of the team didn't step up at all, basically already throwing away chances of decent depth and/or U25 scoring.
Congrats Scorchio and thanks for the report Imladrik!

Thanks for the reports Imladrik! 
Good starts from Zingle and WVA. 3 riders in the front group, couldn't ask for more.

Was afraid of Benoot getting neglected because of the TT skill. That's what happened. We're still in a good position GC wise but it'll be tough to hold on to these high placings. Howson for sure won't survive the hills and/or cobbles. Let's hope Cataford can pull through.
Thanks for the report!

Another stage successfully navigated, cobbles is Hecht's weakest discipline so the next two days will be the test, especially since he has no helpers since McCormick riders are generally allergic to cobbles. Amused to see Keough still up there, shows the hills weren't that hard.
Tough on Benoot, he probably deserved a little more. Congrats to Adler on a nicely taken win.
Thanks for the reports

And again 2 min lost in GC for Debesay, it's as if he had a 50 hill rating. It's ridiculous to see such a good rider losing time again and again in a race that he should end on the podium GC wise.
That's it, CT wer are coming again.

Prepare for Armageddon, Vliegen won a stage. I expected nothing here so its already a succesful race in our books. Consolidations for everyone who lost time and thanks for the report.
