Tough startlist as expected. Hoping for Avelino to have a good time among the Fjords.
But that first stage was quite below expectations, hopefully it was just an off day. Ahlstrand looks like the man to beat, being close to home and with this strong start. Lo Cicero his main rival. Congrats viko, looks like you're on a good path to your goal!
Not sure what to expect from the TT department. It's quite funny to see such a tied field, honestly.
Anyway, looking forward to the rest of the stages. Thanks Cro!

Great report with a thrilling finish. Congrats to Viking.
It was wonderful to finally see Manninens champions jersey take part in the train as well.
Obviously our biggest hope in the GC is Paillot - hopefully he won't have to use too much energy åulling the following days so he still has something to give in the TT.

Nice start, and great to see the strongest sprinters battleing it out, instead of them fading in the difficult weather.

Serebriakov sprinting two stages in a row. Must be some sort of season record. 5th is a bit worse, but still quite good considering the field. Now let's see if Cancellara can ride a good TT to secure a good GC.
Thanks for the good reporting so far

Thanks for the very nice reports!
Sad about Boaro, though as long as it's not our top 3 ttists it's tolerable, it happens to everyone.
Ahlstrand strikes again, congrats! Awesome to see him perform like he actually is supposed to.

Come on guys, if you don't get into the break, at least take care of our sprinter!
Thanks for the reports so far, let's hope for a better result in the next stages 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

On too a little more anonymous stage for us but setting our hopes too home riding Haugard.
Thanks for that report as well. |

Ahlstronk! Dominant win in a somewhat bizarre stage. Congrats Viking. Nice one from Avelino and Coutinho to take 3rd and 6th. Fingers crossed for Oliveira to get a top10 tomorrow.

Ahlstrand doing his best to make it possible to achieve a top 10 in the final GC after two stagewins, and two more possible... Two more in the top 3 from him and he will have done a marvellous job.

While it was a disappointing result for us on stage 2 it's nice to see a Scandinavian rider/team dominate. No one I'd rather get beaten by here!

Two great reports and Ahlstrand is flying here in Norway. Nice to have Chernetskiy leading in the KoM, but stage 5 has a lot of mountain points in it, so it will be hard to take the jersey home in the end.

So close for Zabel, results from him here though is just a bonus, hopefully the time trialists will be able to do something
Well done by Ahlstrand, he's turning into a great rider

Great win by Fiedler. Very happy to see that.
Sucks to see my former rider Paillot this season. He have underperformed severely everytime I have seen him ride. Perhaps I should take him back next season and train him a bit. Also Cornu. Fuck man....

What a TT for Flores!
Very fortunate for two of our guys to have an amazing, super, day in the saddle. 5th would be terrific, really eases us away from trouble, if we can hang to it!
Really appreciating your efforts, Croatia! |

Yes.....
finally something goes well this season..
In fact I was not waiting for something else that was not the victory of Fiedler, but to win this way with this margin is clearly a positive surprise.
Now we have to wait for the team to not screw up on the days that are missing as these points will be quite important, as well as the fact that we achieved the first goal this season.
Thanks for the report once again Croatia
