Go G! Cracking start to the race and he's now quite dangerous. He's a decent strong-man sprinter and has often popped up in races like this as an outside contender. Splash of luck and Thomas could be a rider to watch.
Other than that it was standard affair for my sprinters who are close to the others, except of course Kobe

Basically the weakest team I've brough to a race the entire season so a great way to start with Van Poppel hopefully this will be followed up with a strong GC and our end of season push will begin to take shape after a strong Portugal |

Acceptable start. Herklotz as our fastest rider is interesting, but I hope that Giaux and Lander as our leadout train might get a couple lower Top 10s to improve on that.
Exactly one win behind the lead and less than the difference between 1st and 2nd place on a stage to Avelino for Ciolek, now we can start racing.

Suparman! 
Vaitkus trying is a good sign for maybe a decent place on one the remaining stages, but I'm not too optimistic

An Aeropostal train. Well, that makes sense. 
It would be nice to get some luck positioning-wise here. It has been a while.
Thanks for the reports of the day, tb. After doing a race like Austria, this race will probably be a cakewalk!

Congrats to that display be the Swedes though! Can they repeat that?

Wow awesome result for us on stage 2, but a win like this never feels as good as it could if it was Ciolek and Avelino we out sprinted on the last meters... |

Well that was an original stage from PCM. Tremendous effort from Swedbank to crush the two competing trains, who have miserably and hilariously failed. Ciolek, though is the man everyone is questioning themselves about. What happened there cio? *sits beside Michael Jackson*

Nelson dissapointing on Stage 2, instantly turns it around on Stage 3. Now he needs to keep it going on the next stage but i don't know, he's very inconsistent. Also spotted Thomas sneaking into the Top20 there, i'd love him to do it again seeing as none of Greipel, Soupe or Kobe can sprint.

The same goes for pretty much everyone here. So random.
Of course Bonsucro are now one of the few teams with a 'good' sprinter here who hasn't got in the top 10. Yeah, didn't see that one coming dot dot dot
1st - 11th, 14th - 1st. Ain't nobody got time for that. |

I meant more inconsistent across the season in general rather than just this race, which has been very different on the two sprint stages so far. Keep this inconsistency going and Kobe might do something noteworthy
