Forgive me, replays crashing when loaded make it all the harder  As it is, even going to the podium after any stage that is not a tt makes the game crash. If I don't notice something as soon as it happens it will be missing from the report.

The smiley was mostly about the crash itself, not the lack of info about it.

I warned you - Kennaugh's a force to be reckoned with 
(He'll probably suck from here on, but anyway...) |

Pokerstars once again the strongest team on a flat stage. Congrats beagle!
Van Stayen totally boxed in. No chance to escape from that traffic so that this stage says nothing about his performance for the other stages. Although getting some kind of leadout from Chavanne is sick
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Degenkolb/Mohs is quite a duo. Brilliant stuff from Pokerstars again, congratulations, beagle.
Kristoff is starting to worry me, as it's another no show of a sprint on a stage where he really should be a top 5 rider. He needs to up his game, but we shall see. |

Weakest lineup of the year, so not expecting anything. Any points greatly received at the moment though with our torrid form. |

Wierd start to the race with Holloway and Cav not really gelling. I guess that is what I get for taking on arrogant brat.
Basically bunch of sprinters queue up to gang bang Pokerstars but the porn star Moustache man gets his tadger out on whoops butt.
As we saw a bit of a sneak hill there in stage two - lovin the formula one time boni's gives me good hope of maintaining two top tens if both Hollo and big mounth keep sprinting together.

At least a proper sprint train despite failing then.
Once I saw the favourite list without Swift, I knew it would be a big struggle today. 
Still 2nd in GC, 2 more stages to go! |

And now 2/2. Awesome 
Mohs is doing incredible job, so far I don't regret killing his own chances in favour of the team!

Saw that aswell, whats up with that? How come he was not rated as even a one star favourite?
I dont play PCM myself anymore so dont know if this is a recurrent stuff. |

Nice job by Van Stayen
While a leadout train would be cool it would propably not be as good as a Pokerstars leadout so as long as he gets Degenstache's wheel I'm happy with not attempting an own one.

Good to see Van Stayen grab second place and prove himself, considering his price tag. Holloway/Cavendish seemed like a weird one, but I guess Smowz won't complain when the former claimed third. But there seems to be no stopping Degenkolb, what an amazing start to the season for him!
Kristoff seems to struggle in the positioning, as he doesn't get a train. Then it's very much like last year, where I can only hope he picks the right train, and only then he'll be able to deliver top 5s, I guess. Hoping for a change for the better soon!
Thank you for another report, matt17br. |

Good to see Appollonio compete with the best sprinters in cycling, though his weaknesses don't remain hidden. Bad positioning and awareness make him struggle in a starter field like this one...a bigger body won't hurt either.
Thanks for the quality preview and reports already done, matt!

Tzortzakis doing very well so far. I cant expect him to keep that up, but fingers are crossed :-)

Nice solo by Minnard in stage 1. He made it pretty far, but more importantly got GC seconds and KoM points that could actually win him some points. Hope he defends his KoM lead in stage 3!

Two questions:
- will anybody even make an offer for Ciolek or should I just not renew him?
- who do I have to PM when I really want to change my username here?

Two decent stages from Guarnieri, but not more than that. Good to see Rowe up in the mix, hopefully they can work together more closely on the next stages.

Pretty rubbish first stage but Krueziger makes the break on stage 2 which is great more of that for the next two would be great |
