Seems like you have been alternating races with bad luck and unexpected good results so far. If you can avoid the former you'll have a very interesting rest of the season. |

Thanks for reply
I guess with the importance of good and bad form, a few crashes here and there and some punctures, it may well continue with mixed results. Which is actually also the most rewarding game experience in my opinion.

The morning breakaway was 13 riders, strongest under these conditions probably Wanty Gobert’s Jan Hirt, although it was of course very unlikely, that they could get more than some deserved TV time.
The break was caught just before Côte de la Haute Levée, whereafter selection really began. At Côte de la Roche aux Faucons with about 18km left. 21 riders were left in the first group, including most of the top favourites. But Tadej Pogacar was in the chase group at 56”, Davide Formolo even further back. We had Quinn Simmons with very good daily form and Bauke Mollema in the group of 21.
The race was won by Michal Kwiatkowski, Julian Alaphilippe 2nd in the same time. Benoît Cosnefroy 3rd at 17”. Quinn Simmons and Bauke Mollema was not able to follow the best, but came respectively 9th and 10th, losing a little more than a minute. Not a bad result, especially for Simmons.

Just two riders were able to get away from the fast peloton we had this morning. Matthew Holmes from Lotto Soudal and Lorenzo Rota from Intermarché Wanty Gobert. Matthew Holmes taking a clear lead in the KoM.
As expected, the stage ended in a mass sprint finish, dominated by a mix of sprinters and puncheurs. The stage was won by Peter Sagan, in front of Christophe Laporte and Mads Pedersen. Due to a better placement on the stage, Tadej Pogacar took over the GC lead from João Almeida

Not the best day for the team, Kenny Elissonde was looking rather pale at the start line, not feeling well. The plan was to get one of the better climbers in the breakaway, but it did not happen and we burned a lot of energy in the process.
The morning break was originally Samuele Battistella and Luis León Sánchez from Astana, Xandro Meurisse from Alpecin, Odd Christian Eiking from Wanty Gobert, Pieter Serry from Quick Step and Israel’s Ben Hermans. Pieter Serry took 38 KoM points, but with Matthew Holmes getting 10 points after the break was caught, he will keep his lead in the competition.
Although there was some interesting attempt over the last climb from top riders Guillaume Martin and later Thibaut Pinot, it came to a sprint from a surprisingly large group. Primož Roglic won the stage in front of Tadej Pogacar and Guillaume Martin. Trek - Segafredo completely collapsed on the stage, best as 57th was Toms Skujinš losing 3’30. Everyone else lost more than 5 minutes. Primož Roglic took over the GC lead with 3” to Tadej Pogacar.

Only two riders formed the morning breakaway, KoM leader Matthew Holmes and Total Direct Energie’s Mathieu Burgaudeau. But the duo just passed a single climb, before they were reeled back into the pack.
A new breakaway was initiated by Spanish National Champion Luis León Sánchez, other attempted to join, but only Alpecin’s Silvan Dillier was able to bridge the gap. With 18 KoM points Sánchez took most points today, but Matthew Holmes still leads the competition with a large margin.
It came to a mass sprint finish. Peter Sagan took his 2nd stage win of the tour. Mads Pedersen 2nd and Luka Mezgec 3rd. Sagan took the lead in the points classification.

Five riders formed today’s breakaway, Movistar’s Imanol Erviti, Gazprom’s Pavel Kochetkov, Bahrain’s Eros Capecchi, INEOS’ Sebastián Henao and Astana’s Vadim Pronskiy. But they never got more than 3’30, and was caught in time for the teams to prepare the expected mass sprint finish.
More than 100 riders were left in the peloton approaching the finish line. Hugo Hofstetter outsmarted the favourite teams and won the race in front of Wout Van Aert and Fernando Gaviria. His 3rd win of the season, he also won a stage in both Tour of Oman and Etoile de Bessèges. Our best was Quinn Simmons 7th, a pretty good race from him.

It is the Queen stage of Tour de Romandie, with summit finish on Thyon 2000, after 18.9 km ascent at an avg. of 8.5%. Before we reach that. we already have to pass two cruel climbs, Anzére with summit after 44 km and Suen with summit after 111 km.
This morning many riders attempted to join the breakaway. Including our best climbers Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier and Mattias Skjelmose. But only four made it to the first group over Anzére. Pello Bilbao, Fausto Masnada, Lucas Hamilton and Thomas De Gendt.
The breakaway was caught between the two category 1 climbs. On Suen Tadej Pogacar attacks from the favourite group, at that point reduced to 14 riders. He was reeled back in on the decent and the pace declined, allowing more riders to join the front. Race leader Primož Roglic leads the group under the 10 km banner, at this point 25 riders. Soon after Vingegaard attacks, only Pogacar
and Buchmann could response. After this, Pogacar build a gab to the other two, but it was just 18-20” as they approach the summit.
Vingegaard was strongest in the end, winning the stage in front of Pogacar. Our best was Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier, 30th at 8’32. Pogacar took the overall race lead prior to the coming ITT.

The final 14.6 km ITT had some hard uphill sections, favouring the stage racers over the pure specialist. Tadej Pogacar won the stage with just 1” to Jonas Vingegaard and 4” to Primož Roglic. Overall Tadej Pogacar wins the race with Jonas Vingegaard 2nd and Emanuel Buchmann 3rd. Best from Trek – Segafredo on the ITT was Ryan Mullen, 55th at 56”. Best in GC was Toms Skujinš, 51th at 19’18

Our young time trialist Charlie Quarterman from Oxford, was our 2nd starter and sets a splendid early time, sitting in the hot seat basically all day. The very last rider Yves Lampaert beat his intermediate time, but Quarterman was faster in the last sector and wins the opening prologue of Giro d’Italia. To the undivided joy of the entire team. This was Quarterman’s first professional career win. The fastest time from a race favourite was Rigoberto Urán’s 5th at +5”. Trek - Segafredo ‘s team leader Vincenzo Nibali 53th at +23”.
