It was not the ideal start but Montoya has also been disappointing throughout the year, so I would not expect anything else in this race.
On the positive side, we have team leadership and I hope it can continue that way.

Well, 10 minutes deficit should hopefully be enough to incentivize some breakaway action

Really important to get that Top 3 from the get-go
Also great to see that the team is active in chasing the breakaway and taking control of the pace

Promising start. Now to keep top 10 somehow, please 
I´m curious about Desigual strategy in upcoming stages after Tenorio collapse, could be very intense racing!
Thanks Abhi for report.

Officially avoided a 0 pointer. However Dees losing time is mad, how does that happen. Dees nuts

Such an anticllmatic stage finish. At least we take the KoM lead and no real threats take bonus seconds

Martinez cyclist of the stage! What a strength to be able to sprint after a day in the break!

Congrats to Kraftwerk!
Very disappointing stage in general in terms of the AI though. Clearly Martin and a few others looked strong but got nothing in the end so not sure what’s happened there. Positive is that Martin is looking good.
Can’t take away from the quality of the report though and hopefully some bigger gaps in the stages to come.

Weird stage for us as well First, I was annoyed to not have a single rider in the breakaway. Then we led the peloton?!? I was already seeing the better climbers ride away with our work completely for nothing, but then I see our jersey in the final selection and think, oh nice, Ndayisenga has made the cut, but no, it's Hadi?! Great job by him to finish 3rd, way above expectations to get anything out of this race. With better positioning, maybe he could have even gotten the stage win, but I won't complain. Congrats to Kraftwerk, what a cool result!

We probably shold've tried harder to distance Wellens and th others, but yeah, can't really complain about a status quo in that position.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Never would have thought Kraftwerk’s best sprint of the season would happen in Andorra!
Thanks for the congratulations and for the report Abhi.
Pretty happy the “VAR” decision was between 2 of our riders so didn’t mind how it turned out, my boy is a Chelsea fan so we don’t mention the VAR

Seboka finishing in the same time as Tenorio and Pluchkin is considered a win
Thanks for the report, Abhi, and congratulations to Kraftwerk!

Bad stage for Oomen, makes me even more disappointed we didn't press that gap yesterday.

Very bad no good so far. TT tommorow should get us a few more points on GC, but doesn't look like we will hit that 100, Intxausti would've been sweet here.
