Oh wow, close to pulling off a big win with Ford, but 3rd place is a good result and Cruz in top ten.
It's all about the time trials for Glanbia here unless Bennett can impose himself in a sprint
Just noticed we're leading Team GC |

About what I expected of the TT. Lets hope Costagli can finally put in a good race.

The 5 meters of elevation were too much for Schädlich 
Teklehaimanot did OK but only 3 seconds faster than Ablenado who might be a dark horse for a GC position.

Shame that the opening stage was too long for Gabby, but at least we don't look too bad in terms of trying to get something out of the GC.

Weird stage indeed! Calmejane always going to get that one, what a cool cool rider. Happy with Morne doing so well in there, never going to win the sprint but gutting to miss out on yellow by such a slim margin, an extra place in a sprint anywhere or a slightly better prologue...

Not suprised Calmejane won that sprint, but an awesome ride by Pibernik regardless. 2nd place in the stage and 2nd in the pts standings is very good start for us points wise 
Seibeb's and Petrovski's turn tomorrow then

Drapac you're supposed to sprint forward...

So you're telling me Te Brake could've won that stage if the break would've been caught? Just our luck this season I guess...

Finally something to cheer about in the Europcar-camp!
Extremely cool to see Calmejane in yellow, hopefully he can hold on to it after tomorrows stage as well. This will be very important points in the battle to avoid relegation |

A decent sprint by AKA, but unfortunately the break had it good. Not much we could do.

Huh, it's like Calmejane, Hirschi and Aidan knew their teams are in relegation trouble!
Quite interesting to see those three teams in particular get off to such a start here, that could surely have major implications further down the road.

Ok, I see you Eaton. Shame he couldn't steal yellow for the home crowd. Weird stage, but I'll take it.

Kraftwerk manage a sprint train and get 10th in the sprint, its becoming a distressing pattern.

We missed the great opportunity to steal some valuable random points here. Pity!

Congratz to Bjartne, cool to see a breakaway win (as long as it is not too often).

Meh, no breakaway this time. I don't understand why high FTR riders like Seibeb or Petrovski never target KOM's 
Congrats to Bushwackers on the win and thank you Cunego for the report

Good to see us getting in the break, hope Ivanov shows himself more so we can have a decent shot at the KoM. Drapac's OTL was expected, purely calculated for the second stage but even then he didn't bother.
