Looking for Maillet to get a minor GC place with some attacking riding and Haller and Kreder to aim for podium places in the sprints.
Great preview and opening stage report tsmoha.

Good start for Keizer, top-3 pretty predictable there though. We usually do quite well in Canada, hopefully Keizer can relocate Intxausti’s past results (even if it means losing the GC by 4 seconds again  )

Very happy with a 5th and 11th place finish here, even so I hope Rowe can get a few decent placings in the sprint stages, maybe even a win???

Oh great, there goes any chance of scoring some depth points down the drain... Hopefully that means either Pirazzi or Serrano will go in breakaways in the mountain stage. Good to see Christensen in the break today though

No time lost, Duarte gained a GC spot. Not bad, let's start the real racing now

5th for Sobota is really nice! Always super happy to see our star rider get results! Not bad from Cherkasov in the break either, pretty happy given this race should be zero points! 
Thanks for the awesome report tsmoha!

Surviving the splits today, would be very angry if it caught Úran out.

After failing to bring a stage racer into the team I switched to hiring Haller as a secondary sprinter. Really pleased to see that paying off.
The team worked hard to get Haller the intermediate sprint, a dominant win and into the points jersey. Will be tough to beat Pluchkin though.
Kreder in 3rd is the icing on the cake. Thanks for the congrats.
Thanks for the super report tsmoha.

Nice to see Canelon sprinting, don't think I've seen him do that before. Good sign for next season once he maxes out.
Manfredi's prologue sucked though  |

I love how Rosas on the second stage and Rensburg here end up at around twentieth place when they have no business being in the sprint

Great work from the team to control the day and deliver Haller for the win while in the points jersey. That ounce of energy saved in not going for the intermediate sprint was needed in a tight sprint.
Hope the team can stay fresh enough to chase the break again on stage 5.
Over to Maillet to try and get some kind of GC finish although any gains in the mountains are likely to be lost in the TTT 
Thanks for another fine report tsmoha.

Congrats DTB! Haller a class above here.
Speirs popping up is a surprise to say the least, a great finish from him. Onto the Mountains now
Thanks for the report!

I read that prologue report whilst tired and was dreaming of a stage win, forgetting that the trio of Uran, Keizer and Pluchkin existed and were yet to set off 4th is nice though and not much time conceded, though the focus is to those behind. Let's hope for solid performance on the upcoming mountain stage and with enough time gap to still be in top 5 contention post-TTT - a big ask when you ride for one of my teams!

Pretty much confirmed that we'll leave this race without a single point.
Great win for Uran, did not see that coming with Pluchkin around, at least in the first mountain stage. Congrats Marco! And great report tsmoha!

Good result for Duarte, around where I expected him. Glad he didn't wait for Grigrian, who himself looks well on the way for a good secondary GC.
And Ford made the time cut!

Cant afford to lose this, relegation would get too close for comfort.
