I can only echo the above, what a preview. Did you make it all yourself?
Of course 
Thanks all. Went pretty mad with the preview for this race. But it's "my child" and it deserved a special treatment this year. Of course this won't be the new bar, cio

No, seriously, what an amazing preview by tsmoha. Possibly the best ever.
Úran will at bare minimum have to satisfy our goal of a GC top 5, preferably a podium with a stage win as well. But really he needs to win to push us further out of the relegation zone. The opposition is tougher than previous races though.

13th is awesome by Poljanski, inb4 PCM screws him up. Just a very good start to the race

Amador with one hell of a ride 
Úran did his absolute and it paid off, second is a great result though the gap to Amador is a bit worrying. Nevertheless everything is still to play for in the mountain stages.
Thanks for the amazing amount of work you put into the reports tsmoha

Amador killing it!
Domagalski not having a bad TT, 29th is a good start for a top 30, I'm happy with that.  Although I feel sorry for Roglic being on the same time as such a bad rider.
Thanks for the wonderful report tsmoha, the graphical detail was brilliant - I love the little winner's profile!

Finally something going halfway decent! Holding the U25 for as long as possible (maybe even wire to wire) will be crucial.

Great start to the season for Andrei! Very nice to get decent gap so early as well. Race report is looking as nice as the preview, thanks for the effort tsmoha.

A very solid 6th place there from VDB. I hope this means he's in some good form and will therefore outperform riders who are better than him on paper.

Great show of class from Amador! Just on a higher level than the competition, it seems.

Will take these opening results, now just need to have a couple of good days of climbing, and no bad days on the flatter stuff. Leaving here with a good handful of points.

Jesus, I was content losing a second to Uran but Amador just blew them both out of the water! Congrats Bushwackers!
Thanks for the report tsmoha

I'm just gonna echo everyone's sentiment and mention how I'm in awe I am with that preview <3.
I'm not quite in awe with the mountain prologue. Roglic, you just had to suck?! You just can't lose to so many shitty climbers, are negative daily forms just targeting us this year when they matter most? Yikes...
At least we still have the mountains and the final TTT to make up for that, but if Romandie is anything to go by...

Indeed, a great preview.
Hoping to see Kudus go well here, with a minimum target of top 5. Prologue result being closer to expectation than hope - but great to see Hadi and Reguigui put in strong rides for Top 12 finishes, even if there's no reward for that.
Shame I couldn't bring a sprinter here for a chance of joining in with this 'weaker' field.

We literally have no leader - there is no reason we shouldn't get somebody in the break. Kolev tried at the start, but he's never going to succeed given how bad he is.
On the bright side, we didn't have a single guy in the top 100 and we got the laternne rouge of the stage (Crash for Nielsen and Veyhe?), good commitment to meeting expectations.
Thanks for another top-notch report tsmoha and congrats on the win sgdanny! Quite cool that one of the Polish teams has taken a stage win at every HC or C1 Tour so far.

The difference between Drapac and Manarelli becomes quite clear this season, both had about equal scoring this year but Manarelli has 0 points out of 20 racedays and Drapac 96 out of 22, even without his victory he has been much better so far.

Oooh that was incredible from Ji! To go from behind a pack of the best sprinters to in front like that is amazing, almost makes up for Moser sucking in the end. Let's hope for a little more Ji magic
Thanks tsmoha!

This isn't looking to good for the team
Don't really know why, but my team it's never been able to build up a sprint train
