McCormick brings a good all round squad including riders from 5 different parent organizations. No top favorites but Mano should be strong in the TT and Hills and Fung on the GC and a solid allround climbing squad. Only in the sprint stages don't hold an interest.
Will also be routing for Habtemicheal to make some noise.

One of the more interesting startlists of the last few years but obviously no Evonik starters this year. Maybe we can do a comeback next year after two years without participating..
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Thanks for the report!
Not the best start,but could have been worse. Now it´s time for sprinters in upcoming two stages, let´s see if Philipsen & Banaszek can do something.

Solid start from Habtemichael

11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Had some hope Larsen could win that prologue, but those have proven tricky in this PCM version. A top 10 is a solid start, and he has a chance at the yellow jersey if he can grab some bonus seconds on one of the two upcoming stages. |

Didn't expect that! Great ride from Eenkhoorn to take the leader's jersey early. Not so great from Inkelaar but that was to be expected. Interested to see how we play this now.
Thanks for the report Nemo

Can't shake the feeling that the win was stolen from us there
Pogacar off to a decent start, he needs to ride great every day to try for that top 10.

Decent start that from Conci so he’s showing a little bit of form.

Going to be interesting if AvN can make enough time gains and hold on for overall - doubt it though especially considering the TT kilometers. A couple of stage wins should be on the cards and additionally a decent overall.

That wasn't great von Chokri, but Munton did well to finish in the Top 15, so at least we have that. Thanks for the report, hopefully our jersey will appear in a few screenshots over the next stages as well, that's all we can realistically ask for

An advantage of having the reporter in your team, you're guaranteed to have a picture of a Minion

Not the best start for Sivakov, let's see if he can grow into the race.

Entertaining second stage, glad we weren't counting on a sprinter. Fung was attentive in the end and we have the team lead.
Congrats to Nordstrom

Ugh, all that work and clever positioning and all we've come away with is 6th place
I guess at least we were proactive. I hope Rajovic gets a better shot in the other two flat stages.
