Mostly sent a "development" squad here. If we can take anything from this that would be a bonus. iirc this race clashed with a lot of others for us, but would have liked to bring a bit better squad due to the nation it takes place in!

Cool to see two of our former riders battling it out for the stage win. Nice victory by Haas, I guess Meyer for Ullisi'ed

Although the Super Dry’s was firmly asleep in the bunch, a nice read thanks.
Congrats to Jakstar22 what a start , also sutty68 and hoyle with a fine day
As a team we are fine with Dario Cataldo staying in the best part of the peloton

Well that was terrible, hopefully we come back in the TT with a vengence.

Good to see Castrillo in the breakaway! It would have been a little better if I had a climber in there to actually go for the KOM but maybe we can have that on the final stage. Now to see if we can get anything from the TT.

Congrats Jakstar! So happy to see Haas take a win. BNZ far superior today.
Russom hanging in there moving up into the top-15 GC is nice, hopefully he can keep that going into the next two decisive stages.
Thanks for the report!

Yes Haas  Congrats Jakstar, love Gunman's performance as well and nice to see Lopez on form in the top 10. Great opening stage, enough gaps as it is but imagine if GC men properly attacked... Thanks for a great report tsmoha!

Happy with 7th I guess, not going to be a 0pointer. Izagirre didnt lose any time, which could potentially put us in position for 2 guys in top 20 which I would be happy with. Gotta hope for MAL +5 day during TT

This might end up as our all time worst performance in a stage race.....
Not only is Atapuma out of it, but he also dragged the whole team with him, including Henao. Shocking stage 
Congrats Jakstar! |

Decent. König didn't lose time to the main GC rivals so I'm optimistic going into the TT.

Luisle and Pirazzi in the first group was good, though i'd like to see some in the attack. I think Luisle could get a GC Top20 with the TT tomorrow, and the decent mountain support he has

Haga not losing time to the favourites, that's very good to see. With a good TT he could be right in the mix...

A good first stage performance from the Stobart boys, hopefully we can build on that in the stages to come !! |

Nice start from Kulhavy, surviving the stage in the main field. And also Coronel tried to get into the breakaway, nice to see my boys doing well with big continental stars.
Also great to see Schlegel staying in the main group as well as my former star König, looking great for his overall chances.

Weird stage to say the least, but no real issue there.. Also good to see the team working in front.
