Sensible top 3 considering the profile, and very cool to see Impey win in the PT, gives flashback to some great memories from his PT season with my team as well. Congratulations, SN!
And thanks for getting the race rolling, Croatia14. Well reported on a very tense sprint! |

Thurau must have crashed I guess as a 75 puncher being solo as very last would be weird otherwise.
not sure, haven't recognized if so but seems like a logical explanation

Domination sounds about right! Expected Phinney to win, but not with that margin. He needed this kind of win if he wanted to win the whole thing, and with 4 mins on Madrazo and 2 on Taaramae, he can definitely do it.

Phinney was always going to win this ITT. The gap to Taaramae is terryfing though. Poor Crommy.
Keizer. Well done, lad. Podium stage and GC now. Hoping to stay there for the rest of the race or minimum top5 now. |

Wow, Phinney destroyed the opposition.
Not a bad TT by Madrazo, but the gap to especially Phinney and Taaramae will be a challenge to overcome. There's still plenty of climbing kilometres to do so though.

That Phinney win was like putting money in the bank, so thanks for that bet!
Novak slightly worse than expected, but Campero was better, so thats fine. It will be difficult to beat Phinney now. I have to hope he doesn't smash Spilak like that in the Tour, or it could be a whole lot of nothing for us.
Let's see how crazy stage 3 will be with such Big gaps.

Well that was a bit good from Phinney never expected him to destroy the opposition like that hopefully the hilly stage doesn't have massive gaps like in California now and this could be a great Tour for the team |

Honestly considering how Taaramae has a much better RES and how PCM acts "funny" with TTs I thought they would have similar chances to say the least 
Never forget Chrono des Herbiers 2015, the epitome of TTs

Wow, that's just an amazing performance. Congratulations, jt1109! Not much more to say, perfect start and even more to this race for Phinney. |

Are we even in this race? Hope to see the team in the breaks on the coming stages, but it really is all about that hilly stage for Meyer and Levarlet.
Dominant win from Phinney. Will be very hard to beat him now. Would of course be a great win for jt in the relegation battle.

Very good sprint from Meyer. Hopefully a sign for better things to come later on...

Pleasant surprise from Oss, giving us some unexpected coverage towards the end of a stage. Congratulations on the win, CrueTrue.
Now it would be cool to see Nesset give the upcoming stage a go as a GC captain, as he has ridden as one so far, doing a good TT and otherwise hiding in the peloton. A top 20 overall would be far more than expected, but a top 25-30 might be doable. Other than that, we can only cross fingers for breakaway participation.
Thank you for the in-depth reports, Croatia14. They're of great quality! |

Must have thought that Dzamastagic is valuable enough himself to not send him as VS leadout in Switzerland so I hope he can get a top 5 in the sprints. Ah well, let me dream
And guess who finished top 5 on the stage 
Dzamastagic <3
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Tzortzakis had me hoping there for a while, but clearly this stage was too hard for him. More imortantly, though - My GC hopes both rolled over the line effortlessly with the bunch.
Now it's time for them to fail miserably :-)
Congrats Crue. That was a very nice win

Nice enough stage from the boys keeping near the front now to see whether this team is good enough in the mountains to keep Phinney protected |
