Fablok continuing their nice start to the season! Nice to grab second place, too.
Thanks for the report!

It's nice to see Bole on the podium but makes me think what could have been if the peloton would have catched Zielinski and Uchima in time. Mixed feelings...
But nice to see that Hirt stayed in the front group. Maybe a Top15 is possible for him. Though I'd rather see him attacking and maybe go for stage honours.

Ochoa Quintero in the top 10 already, fully expect him to not drop out of the top 10 at all in this race.

Good start for us, except Khalilikhosrosham who dissapointed here. I believe he will be even more motivated for the next two hilly stages. A lot of fun still to come here! |

It's so good to see this race get underway, we've always enjoyed this one which is why I'm the only PCT team here. It's a shame I'm going to have to play catchup once I get back from holiday instead of being able to follow it as it's posted.

Good to see lots of Alpina jerseys in that front group, bodes well for the upcoming stages which hopefully might see a bit more action.

Weird AI, my sprinter made it over the hills and sat up, as well as Uchima somehow losing 7 + minutes? And Signorini 10th in a sprint 
Oh well, well done again to Fablok and bring on the mountains already!

Really not sure what to think about Signorini...58 flat and low hill and still not getting dropped in first two stages...if he continues like this, he might be a huge surprise this year I guess. Let`s see what happens after a couple of stages when tiredness comes into play.
Good that Koep did not get dropped again. I hope he can recover now and start to climb the rankings to decent areas. |

1-1-2-1-1 in my last 5 stages and worse is, that Drujon can win the sprinter stages xD

Another stage win for Fablok oh boy, someone needs to stop them otherwise they'll be far gone and impossible to catch in the rankings once they are published.

No real results for us here either, stage wise, but in the GC we're now 4 man among the 10 best. That certainly more than we had hoped for, and by far the best team effort we've ever had, but the race is long and we haven't even had a proper mountain yet.
Congrats to Fablok yet again! |

Didn't under any circumstances believe to see Bauer in yellow (well, white/blue) after those three hilly stages, and it will definitely give him a boost on tomorrows mountain stage. He already have an advantage, so there's a tiny chance he can hold on to it, and if so, there are many easy stages to follow after that.
But most likely, this next stage will be the first real opportunity for the big gun's. Really looking forward to it!
Thanks for the good pace and quality reports tsmoha! |

Well ironic this is indeed 
Finally I can congratulate another person ^^ Under the circumstances Zielinski with a Podium was just great and I look forward to the sprint stages with Drujon 
Good reports tsmoha and making them longer, would definitely make 12 stages a long thing to do ^^

Very rapid reporting pace, keep it up - they're great reads so far!
Obviously frustrating that Godoy was caught almost literally on the line on stage 2 but Weber pretty much compensated for that with a good sprint to secure 2nd. All going pretty well so far, let's hope the mountains produce some more good racing!

Koep did horribly to drop on the first stage, but he's been decent following that. And it seems like Schoffmann and Ebsen are on good form, which should help him.

Such a pity that Bole couldn't hang on to the bunch in stage 2, he would have been clear favourite :/
Aaand the same happening in stage 3... Though this time its not so disappointing as the win was gone anyway.
