Thanks for the reports so far!
Too bad Richeze couldn't deliver yet, but he has been close! |

Will this be our chance getting our hidden sixth goal accomplished here in Langkawi? Matysiak is a god at positioning and Lavoine does what he's told 
Thanks for the report

Better sprint their from Razzie, who was a bit behind the leadout.
Hopefully Koep can do well in the mountains, and Razzie will have an edge once recovery kicks in late in the race.

A little late to the party, but looks lile I've not missed much from Sodexo! MG Hide & Seek Sprint Champion Haddou continues to do nothing and disappoint me so much.
Well done danny for the two wins, thanks tsmoha for the great preview and reports so far! I'm hoping foe something good to come in the mountains

Go Sobota, about the 9th best sprinter in the race and with no lead-out, he still comes third.  I love his amazing fluky sprints.
Thanks for the report.

Wow Lavoine is on top of things here with two well worked sprint wins. Sort of hoping things will be shared around here though with former target Richeze and former red bull man Matthews also featuring.
Fond memories of this race, glad it is still kicking around in the Ctour!

I think I would have brought Kankovsky here we would have won one of the first 2 stages.

Another win for Lavoine! On track for 8 stage wins at the moment.
Another top 10, can't complain there.

21st for Dabrowski, didn't expect heaps even though a top 20 would be nice, and nobody in the break.

Ooo, that certainly went better than expected! Gilanipoor with a small advantage here and Lowe also in contention for something. Feel sorry for Atapuma, but I guess he will be eager to get his revenge on the Genting-stage.
Good race for us so far:
1st stage: Top 5
2nd stage: Top 3
3rd stage: 1st
Looking forward to the rest of the race  |

7th GC should be fine and hopefully we can get a Top 5, though Top 10 would be okay
EDIT : Don't hope the mountains spoils the sprinters too much, since the race will be very dramatic for anyone getting involved in that Lavoine finished really high on a mountain stage and hope he didn't use too much energy

Well at least Koep showed himself being in the first bigger group here. More wasn`t expected in that top5 area. Hirt though with yet another impressive performance. |

Atapuma in bad and dramatic moment certainly sets up an intriguing Genting assault.
Compal at the front of things still takes some getting used to!

Unexpected 7th place by Canecky there, happy with that result. Good day in the break for Fankhauser as well. |

Glad Koep stayed in the group. That's the important thing. And Razzie was far away from elimination.

Just catching up on the reports on the first three stages: Seems to sum up our season pretty well so far - Forero once again not understanding the value of positioning before launching his sprint and failing pretty miserably, while in stark contrast Soler puts in another great performance to add to his very pleasing season so far. If only Forero could actually position himself properly, we would be doing quite well. But if it carries on like this, it will be more wasted racedays for him.

I'm really happy with what Rienda has done for the moment, he is even my first ranked rider in the flat stages ^^

The mountain stage clearly paralysed some of the sprinters, where Matysiak didn't bridge a gap to the others. Still impressed that we're in front of all the other leadouts, however the mountains are perhaps coming too early.
6th was a okay result and only 2 points lead for our points jersey, so consistency is key and good for the others to get stage wins
