I have to commend the organizers for creating a route that looks least suited to Ardila's skillset. The small chances of a back-to-back Avenir victory have dropped close to zero 
Thanks for the preview

The Glanbia/McCormick team here are here to get xp.
Hopefully some fun in breaks and maybe even a stage

Very unfortunate. Hopefully he can still deliver well. Go Ardila!
After years of not having any riders for this race, it feels weird to know that not only i have 4 riders (including loaned out Plapp) this year again but also will have decent GC options for the next two editions with Plapp and Krasts
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Two Los Pollos riders in the top-10 is just lovely. Nice sixth place from Ocampo for Indosat, and a surprising top-10 from Galvan Ramirez in the Lierse colours. The Lierse TT-bikes must be rather good, as Potocki also did something great here. Thanks for the report, Abhi!

Not to mention we won this stage last year as well 
Always good to win something here, it should be easier to sign young talents with these results now 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I guess that could have gone a lot worse also.

Would have been a nice victory for Evenepoel before going back to working for Leknessund.

We don't have much interest here, but it was nice to see both Pidcock and Romo having relatively decent starts here!

Good start for Ocampo and Matsuda! Looking forward to what they can do on the Longer TT.
Congrats Lierse on the win with Potocki and thanks for the report!

The rather strange PRL results continue. Still a decent position for most of the better riders.

Good start for us. Stage podium is great for us in points, and we're within striking distance of the GC lead if we have a good sprint coming up! Love what I see from Forssell so far.

Poor ride from Perez, but a really good one from Redy & Cole! Bring on the road stages.

Örken with a great ride to finish fourth! Would be amazing if he could do something similar tomorrow

Nice to see loanee Govekar get in the breakaway, win two sprints and get up to 3rd overall. He landed in the right team 
Potentially some very important bonus seconds scored by Vansevenant.

Okay, guess Pidcock is just going for GC, which I don't mind so long as he's active in the hills!

Indeed nice to see our coulors in the break, even though Govekar is only with us for the week. He'll show our riders what a day in the break is!

Great victory from Stan the man
Didn't realise he was one of the better sprinters here tbh.
