I guess I have to be happy with fourth in the end. I guess I need to make Grosu 83 sprint for him to get his own train

Quite a good start by Serebriakov. Maybe he could teach Holloway positioning?

Coquard will be 84 next season, so don't bother

Dont think the leadout work 100%, but I cant complain when Ahlstrand won either way even if it was with a very small margain  He really like this race.
Nice to see him deliver on the first stage, mean *2 jersey for the next stage.
Thanks for the congratulations guys.
@trek well the manager himself is ½ Swedish ½ Norwegian (swedish dad, norwegian mother) so the team is more then happy to ride both in Sweden and Norway |

10th place by Drapac, good but not quite there yet. Could've been a bit higher had he not been boxed in at the end.

I want what Serebriakov had for breakfast! 2nd is an amazing result in this field. Once again great positioning and this time for an even better result.

Congrats SotD. Good sprint by Coquard.
But Boom...being top favourite and obviously crashing. No time loss but 3rd last in peloton makes me very afraid...
Not sure why but I obviously can`t have a single race without my leader crashing this season. |

Stage 2 was not really good for us.
Once again we failed big time to set Ahlstrand in a great position, 4th is decent anyway and keeping both jersey one stage more.
But any chance of a decent GC place is gone, our two best TT Haugard (79tt) Johansson (77tt) Lost many minutes and or puncher Byström (79hi) lost time but maybe that opens up for him to be aggressive on stage 4 , I mean alreaey out of GC and riding in his home country.
Congrats SotD! And Selwink, great result by "Sere" |

That's exactly what I meant yesterday. It should be entirely impossible to finish 6th from that position. Lost all chances for green too. Ridiculous.
Add Weber to that train and we win. Makes it even worse.

Selander with some cheeky points, I like that. I wonder why we decide to chase, especially since Drapac couldn't even finish in the top ten.

Great for Coquard to finally win. This is his first EVER win if i'm not mistaken...
Great to take U25 for a while, but oh so close to also take the lead in GC and points. 1-5 vs 1-4 for Ahlstrand...
Now to hopefully take another stagewin aswell as the GC and hopefully a good result by Vlatos too. He haven't had a very strong season despite having had way better chances than last season.

I don't really get our aversion to breaks - we don't have a sprinter and it's not like LLS is gonna achieve anything. 
Gratz SotD and thanks again Abhishek!

Festina with a big race now. An 1-2 in a TT is something you don't see too often with the randomness out there. You can consider you lucky, SotD
Congrats though! Coppel definitely my favorite for the GC now. Bad day for Trofimov really.

We haven't been lucky with TT's from especially Vlatos this season with him basically doing shit all, on every attempt so far bar the most important one, Chrono des Herbiers.
So it's really nice to see us finally doing what is expected in a TT where we have gambled and put in our two strongest timetriallists. Some good points here, and with also Coquards stagewin on stage 2, the gamble have paid off - so far. If the GC will end up poorly then the gamble clearly hasn't, but 2 minutes down on the most dangerous riders will make it very interesting to follow. We have the best possible hilly setup for Coppel except for Kastrantas who could have been a good asset instead of Stocker, but I brought him just in case Coquard would need some kind of train.
After losing massive amounts of points to Moser over the first half of the season, it is really important that we manage to win some races now.

Boom not with his best TT. Though neither looking really injured or handicapped.
So pressure on the hill stages now. Both Boom and De Bie need to gain lots of time.
Congrats to SotD. Big 1-2 here, which was kinda expected though. But always nice when it happens as well then. |

Kelderman slower than Ciolek and Felline. That's 70TT vs 61/64TT.
Are you fucking kidding me.
Sütterlin being a second off fourth not helping either. At least he got white but that wasn't in doubt anyway.

Not again 
At this point Roche will score nada from here or compared to last year in the rankings...
