Some slight confusion between the Yates there, might want to double check the mini-jerseys

Brilliant stuff by Dyrnes! He should be a great thinking of breakaways when he's fully developed, so it's cool to see him aggressive this early in his career, just like he was last season on CT level as well. And to suddenly see him appear again in the sprint, was a pleasant surprise.
Congrats to wackojackohighcliffe, an amazing performance from Lutsenko. |

It's annoying Please change one of their names next year!
Sorry, valv/SN, for this Shikai drama. Hate to see this happen. I know it's just a game bla-bla.. But anyway
Lutsenko though... Huge. Guess roturn can be right: looking at his MO stat, he may become a pain in the a** for some better climbers!

Such a long stage for Avenir certainly separated the men from the boys. Exciting read, and race already well broken up even before any mountains.

Great to see that the Siam boys are always in there with an attack early on in the race. That's all I can expect from our weak lineup. |

What a win from Lutsenko. Wow... He should even be able to do quite well in the mountains, and if he is able to put down his hammer like this on the hills, he could be in for a great race - and GC aswell.
Lecuisinier tried to go for the attack, but didn't have the strength, but in the end finished fine together with Vasyliv who is also in the top 10GC at the moment. I am happy with that.

Don't think Louis wasn't capable of holding on, I just think he missed the split. A shame because I thought he'd be able to stick with the front on this day. Not overly bad, though.
But Lutsenko, damn

Wow, what a performance from Lutsenko! Good ride from Kudus as well, hopefully he can help Meintjes to a good finish or grab a good result on a mountain stage. |

Insane gap for Lutsenko, I assume the AI let down the chasing group there. Adds an extra challenge in the mountains.
Quite annoying bad luck for Shikai though.

Nice to see Lutsenko win after his effort for Lijke yesterday, Crommy should be happy!
Why would Crommy be happy?

Great start for Quickstep to have 2 wins already. This stage has proven decisive for many riders, something which I wasn't neither expecting nor wishing for. Tough day for both Shikai and Reis.
Fortunately this is a long race

Reis, yes. Somehow missed to follow him closely here on the stage. Kinda bummer for him indeed. Not Shikai-style, but still a tough loss.

Great to see Boroš in the break. Alakagom appears to have some type of magic touch. |

Gimme Holst Enger!
Though, one could argue Zabel would be the logical outcome. |
