It's a TTT. Nothing more to say about that. Gaps are not too big even with a squad like mine so nothing is decided yet. With those gap the top 5 is still possible if skujins tries eventhough the tt will hurt
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Nice of Coppel to let Vlatos take the jersey, what a gentlemen!

TTT-randomness strikes again (somewhat). Not surprised cause TTTs have a tendency to not differ that much people say they will differ.

Loosing only a minute is admittedly pretty good considering the TTT line up we had here. Now the main objective must be to take back as much time as possible on as many as possible 
Obviously a difficult task, but a top 5 feels doable if EBH doesn't have any bad days, which there's unfortunately no guarantee against.
Congratulations, SotD! And thank you for the report and for keeping the reports coming, trekbmc. Seems like there's barely time for a breather this season  |

Trofimov 2 steps closer to a GC win thanks to that TTT - I guess Bobridge was at least counting on his team for gaining at least some time in this stage, but no!

Wow Koretzky did absolutely horrible here, almost ending up as the worst of the pack. But who cares? We have a greek rider in the leaders jersey for the first time ever!
I must admit I came here for two stagewins and hoping that Coppel could do well. So far, so good.

Nice TTT for us. TVG in a position to defend his title, that's all we can ask for.

Another so-so result, ddidn't really enjoy the latest rreports
At least Bobridge did something to chase. No real damage, but Trofimov might just have rode a key stage to his ooverall victory eeventually.

Lars Boom once more beasting in a quality field. Normally he shouldn`t be that high up and instead Villella should be last man with De Bie. But Boom regularly shows his allround skills in such races.
Only a bit worried about the fact that De Bie with +6hill and like +10 sprint is at the end of the group while Boom gets 5th. Guess, Boom was just in a good position in those downhill (close to no changes) sprint. |

I liked when the AI was capable to bring back the escaped favorites. Didn't happen often enough last season.
One small thing: Is it possible to use the Evonik microjersey for Poljanski instead of the polish NC one ?

Great to have Dyrnes able to join the select group of favourites towards the end. EBH on the another hand causes some slight concern not being able to make a difference on the final climb. But that's what it is, and if this was a bad day from him, it's a good thing only Trofimov and Bakelants were able to gap him and the others.
Congratulations on the stage win, OlegTinkov. The overall favourite for the race seems determined to force the issue and leave no question mark behind. |

Already two reports when i have noticed the thread, nice and fast job trek!.
TTT was bit of a disappointment for us, 6th is not great for our strength, but whoel stuff is too random and teams were very close, we faded in the end.
I have to say i have not expected Coppel here and thought about the possible stage win for either Zmorka or Ignatiev in longer TT. So hopefully at least podium there.
We have no guy for the hilly stuff, so it would be actually nice to see us in the break one day, i wear we have had like three appereances there during whole year so far. Our hilly department is very shy so far.
Congrats SotD and Oleg! Trofimov has to be the winner here.

That's a good first road stage, forgot Lutsenko qualifies for the young rider's jersey, if he can keep that I'd be very pleased. Thanks for the report trek.

Good effort by Juul-Jensen, always good to see the team attacking. A pity to see Meyer being on the wrong side of the split, as he was our GC hope after the TTT. But congrats to Oleg, looking really good for Trofimov now.

Good riding by Kelderman, I wish he could've converted his nice attack into more than just bonus seconds.
How appropriate that in our FIRST breakaway appearance this season, 75 hill Mager couldn't even follow Lasse Fucking Hansen over TWO hills.
