We are absolutely no where in this race. Can’t bother to attack, and doesn’t seem to Care about positioning our Leader either.
This is going to be a massive dissapointment unfortunately. Happy to see other teams having a lot more fun/succes here.

Congrats bbl and thanks for the report!

Shouldn't be getting beat or gapped by Aranburu there, especially when we can't gap anyone else, but not a bad result at all. Had hoped for more activity so far but hopefully it just means Areruya is waiting to still have his energy for the mountains when he'll need it Congrats bbl on another great result, as you write it's special to see your faith in Aranburu pay off. And awesome for Broxham to keep his run going.

Carlos was so close! Good to see him in the break and competing!
Congrats to the winner and nice report!

Again a quite nice stage for us, not as spectacular as before but very nice to show our colours in a GT like this. Glivar 9th and Camrda 11th, well done boys!
Thanks for the reporting.

Again no real intent from Latour, not want we want to see. Hopefully that changes in the coming stages.
Congrats on the run of results bbl, glad to see Aranburu repaying your faith in him. Thanks for the report.

Congrats Fabi! This Vuelta seems to be at least a little redemption for many teams that suffered this season.
Also a good ride by CRod, would have been great to see him take a first GT stage win even unmaxed.

Pretty unfortunate that our team is completely ignoring the option of joining a breakaway. These have been pretty successful so far.
Only highlight for us is that Dombrowski has been attentive and didn't lose any unnecessary time. Hope the first serious mountain stage can get him into a good GC position.

Would have loved to see Arndt in the break today but we missed the move.
Now time for the mountains to play a role and sort things out a bit.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

It's been a great ride from Broxham. The time in Red will probably come to an end on Stage 11, but it's been a great ride so far. The first half of the race has exceeded expectations, with both Kuli and Broxham contributing greatly. We'll see how the rest of the race goes.
Congrats to Fab and thanks for the report!

Thank you for the great reports over the course of the weekend, Ulrich!
So far, so good, for Aular. Tomorrow will be a first crucial stage for him, with the day after perhaps even more crucial for us as a team with the time trial for Ocampo.

A day for the break probably increases our points chances, so no conplaints here. Congrats to Fabianski and thanks for the report!

The guys have been trying pretty much every day, mostly with little success. It's in particular disappointing to see Chapulin fail so hard on every attempt, on every hilly stage.
But hey, if you try, you can fail - and we keeped on trying, that's what matters. And it definitely paid off! Fantastic win by Aebi, a perfect breakaway rider for those stages - and not even maxed! And with our first ever Vuelta stage win, we're 3/3 in GT stage wins this year - just unfortunate that this wasn't a sponsor goal
Yes, we're going down, but those occasional wins are still a morale boost for the team. And if we win, we always seem to do it at the highest stage this year - 4/4 stage wins are in GTs...
Thanks for the reports!

Well, I guess Carthy already made up most of his deficits from the first week! Of course always begs the question of what if he didn't lose time, but I said I wasn't going to think like that, so I won't! Still a lot of race left. It was great to see him follow Dombrowski and then Herklotz even if it was futile against that kind of competition He gains a chunk of time and is now right outside the top 10, hopefully looking to find a place there.
Really successful team day as well. Gregaard continues to punch above his weight on these kinds of long up and down days, and somehow he's in the top 10 himself. Hellemose in the break had a nice little day too, and even Aranburu who cracked early thanks to his stamina ended up a respectable 26th in the end ahead of some much better climbers.
It's definitely been an awesome race so far in terms of team success! We'll hope for small time gaps in the TT now.

It was inevitable but Broxham has played more than his part for the race and the season! He still gives a point from the U25s while on the way down the GC
Thanks for the report!

Also a nice 3rd from Schlegel who at least gives red a hint he should also go more with this tactics as well 
I think Schlegel has probably hit his points quota by now 
Congrats to bbl and Fab on the stage wins. Hopefully stage 13 doesn't go to the breakaway.
