I think the length meant that the TT stat also comes into play.
Schomber was 10th in the sub 5k prologue in Tour of California, so it could have been way worse for Chavanne - not sure if that's any help, though

We were in a decent position with 3k to go, but the leadout from Bittner didn't work out.
We're still chasing that stage win!

Nice effort by our team especially Van bekkum today, going hard for the KoM Shirt. Also Mayrhofer and Glivar with a strong finish in the top group. Great stage for us i would say.

Not a very selective stage.
Meurisse in 4th is decent, but a stage win is all that matters for us here in Benelux...

Would have been nice to have Wisniowski in the first group, but with some cobblers losing even more time, it's not the worst of results. Looking forward to get the cobbles going!

Yeah, appears to be the case. 3rd is by no means a catastrophe in a HC race so we'll take it. Bit disappointed by Perera in the sprint but he'll have another chance later on. Stage 3 about as uneventful for us as expected.

Great win from Robov, but man the rest of the team is 6+ minutes back, unless Tedia can do some craziness, there will be no points from GC

Still in the GC lead. Unlikely Howson will keep it much longer but really happy he was able to hang on to such a selective group!
Congrats to the winner and thanks for another great report!
