Well that wasn’t exactly what I wanted...we started so well but I guess Baterdene just not quite strong enough yet.
No matter! We look to stage 2 now!
Thanks for the great report!

Decent effort by Kreder, but unfortunately got on the wrong wheel today. He has at least one more chance though, on stage 5, so hopefully he can do better then.
Congrats to roturn on a nice win

Great Report! Thank you roturn.
Fourth place for Geschke is a pleasent day, after the last couple of races. Let's see if my climbers can steal a stage. |

Congrats Sykkel_Freak! Nice victory for Kadri and probably well needed after some mediocre results with Guarnieri lately.

Well that was boring. Congrats to Delvaux and thank you for the report Roturn.

6th is okay? I keep waiting for my big lads to overperform and get a nice top 3 finish, but they *only* finish as expected everytime lol. Losing a bit of time definitely hurts, as it may impact GC later on, but I have to assume u25 jersey is as good as locked up

Not much for us besides the Fact that we did not lose anything and Matsumoto leading U25 is a nice surprise but will hardly last to the end.
Thanks for the report and congrats to Sykkel_Freak

Thanks roturn for the report and congratz sykkel!
It was a pretty dull one.. I was expecting at least one GC rider to make a move but it turned out a coffee ride

King 2nd? Rodrigues 4th? What world is it? I'm more than surprised with a performance of my riders. Most importantly - first podium in the season. |

Thank you for the congratulations, everyone!
Really nice to get a stage win here! I think we approached the final perfectly, taking control of the peloton from the bottom of the climb, and then reacting quickly to Teuns' move. Seemed like Kadri was on the limit over the top, but luckily he just managed to stay with Teuns and gather enough energy downhill for a superb sprint.
Will be interesting to see how we approach the next stage. It will be difficult, but could see us trying to defend the GC, as the final climb isn't that long.

Well at least Roe lost no time. Was hoping for Haas or Roe to be more active but we still on a good position! Go team!
Congrats to Kadri and thanks for the report!

Kiserlovski!! Wow what a win and what a relief, first win of the season but god it was worth the wait I am still a little worried with Teuns, last stage has to be massively attacked cause he is clearly in great form.
Thanks roturn for the report, I won't forget this one

Impressive stuff by Kadri. 6th on a mountain stage is absolutely unreal! Too bad the early move on the penultimate climb didn't work out, as he maybe would have been strong enough to hold off Teuns then.
Nevertheless, very nice win for Andorra and Teuns shows he is to be reckoned with for the GC! Next stage is completely open imo, so will be interesting to see if we ride for Kreder, Kadri or if a breakaway will go all the way.
