I guess the race was just too long for Oomen and just too short for Pelucchi. Two wins in a day would be too much, I admit. But we're showing ourselves in every race we start, that's the important part.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Awesome to have confirmation that Lavoine still can win stages and in CT he even had a leadout, so happy to see it, but hope it doesn't diminish our GC chances

I fear that this will be another huge race for cycleYorkshire, like Olympia was, with this ridiculous startlist for a C1 race. And also for In-n-Out
Costa is a very clear favourite to me, although everything will depend on Stage 2, as the final stage doesn't look that will produce any gaps. If the gaps are small, Reus or Dennis will win the race

First time all season I see an attack from Betancourt, shame he couldn't make it but I'll take fourth place out of this. Also good to see the likes of Kinney, Haga and Selander in the front group.

We're in the race now actually 
Nice ride by Tarvis, too bad Klemme didn't position properly for the final sprint to only end up with a 14th place. Maybe we'll get something out of the final stages, but it seems unlikely to me.

A great sprint by Josef Cerny to claim 153th. This stage was made for him and he gives me this.
And don't get me started on Waeytens this season..

Nice to see Costa doing well, but Berg overloading the GC Top 5 is quite scary with us doing horrible. This is probably our weakest squad of the season so really just hoping for breakaways.
You know its bad when Taylor Newton is our best GC contendor.

Lol, Skjerping, our best hilly rider, getting dropped before the final. Archbold, our best tt rider abandoning. And no one in the break. This is going to be 0 pointer
Amazing result for Berg. Awesome for them, not so good for us thinking about the promotion battle. Still, big congrats to you, fintas

Well now Im glad I didn't bring Kinoshita here, these hills would have been a waste. Zaini grabbing a decent result again for us, but hopefully there can be more selection on the final stage and he will be one of the guys up there on that day, although it looks even more like a stage that would end in a sprint...

Fuck sake, no stage result and not enough damage done :/ Win goal far away, Top 5 maybe possible though.

Dennis losing no time in the stage and it being a very unselective stage as well favours us greatly. Still, we have to do a good TT tomorrow, but a podium seems to be within our reach here. Also expecting something of Tennant tomorrow as well, shame he was dropped early today

Pretty awesome 1-2 for Berg!
Good to see Dennis doing well, too. 10th on the stage, it may be a good sign for the TT. Of course, anything can happen, if he's on a bad day there.

hills gonna have a less impact that expected, so it will hard to get a podium from here and especially with Costa already gaining time. let's see how much the hills impact on the TT tomorrow, but I doubt the final stage will make any difference. There might be a chance to attack on the 4th stage, but that chance is very slim

huge stage for the team. 3 in the top5 of stage extraordinary. But if i could choose would have preferred that Victory had gone to Rui Costa because every second would be precious. Unfortunately, what I anticipated happened, with many riders finishing in the first group and very few or no differences made. My hope is that the hills have more impact on tt, otherwise it will be difficult to win the race.
Thanks for the congrats guys

Salleh starts off the race with a stage podium which is amazing at this level and gives me hope he will be able to at least be competitive should we promote.
Then Zoidl hangs with the best to get 20th on the stage and keep his GC hopes alive.
Also can someone please work out how Anuar Manan managed to stay in the lead group on that stage, yet Othman and Schurter both failed to.
Hofer getting dropped is no surprise, I just hope he tried to save energy for the TT instead of fighting to hold on when we knew it wasn't going to be possible all along.

Very happy with the third place by RVH and third in the GC, putting us in a good spot for the rest of the race
Happy with kruopis' 6th place on stage one too
Congrats Berg with the great stage! |

Wow, a huge result for In-n-Out that'll certainly push them into prime position for promotion. Congrats!
