Would have preferred reading the report by others with same results tbh.
But I take the result obviously.
Not the most ideal leadout but still working is nice to see. This way also in the team ranking lead. |

Roturn is more corrupt than FIFA!
Always sucks when your sprinter doesn't really participate in a sprint, hope he can bounce back in the following stages. Congratulations roturn again, thank you roturn again

Vesely and Bonifazio not getting much love here. At least we're fighting for the mountain jersey!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Welp, seems like we're not even trying to go into the breaks.
Feels like another 0 in Guadeloupe ^^
Congrats roturn! Deserved wins

+1 in all aspects. The only consolation (at least points wise, I wouldn't mind some good results forcour division fellows) is that most CT teams do equally bad in Basque Country and here

Pretty mediocre so far. Certainly not bad, but you always wish for a bit better. If Halvorsen can keep getting top 6+ for the rest of stages then maybe it will be okay regardless

Major doing relatively well in a C1 field. Not really points, but a worthy effort

Congrats roturn! I'm pretty happy with Liepins sitting in 14th so far, couldn't expect more.

Roturn decided to take matters into his own hands 
For us, Saya said, fuck it, I'll do this myself, and started the leadout revolt! Saya in 11th is great. Vesely in 19th is not.

Congrats roturn x2! Awesome race from Groenwagen so far.
Great race as a spectator so far, very exciting sprints. A shame Abdul Halil hasn’t been able to position himself well enough to get a good run at the finish, but he’s still up there’s which is all you can ask for.
Thank you for the reports also!

Why do I bother praising my riders? Eh, nothing really lost just not fun to miss the split.

I don't think I'll ever understand Bonifazio. Good effort by Biermans, but probably wasn't our best option.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Good to see the top favourites at least partially performing here
Groenewegen obviously with a stunning race so far, and Tryg clearly were lucky with their choice of sending Démare here instead of Juárez. But even more generally speaking, 8 out of the 9 favourites mentioned in the preview are currently sitting in the Top 10, with only the (almost) ever disappointing Bonifazio missing out so far.
No clue what led to the results here being so much more realistic than in Mexico, but I definitely like it - and I hope we can extract the recipe to apply to some other flat stage races (not necessarily all, a little bit of randomness should still be fine).
Congrats to the stage winners, and thanks for the reports! Looking forward to the big finale

Nice race from Walscheid, he has always be in position just doesn't have the quality to really finish. But one more solid stage and we will get a few points.
Not sure why the sprints work better, the narrower roads must help. That isn't a hard fix if we need to apply it to more races.
Thanks for the reports Roturn.

Congrats Lief! What a commanding win from Demare, I imagine I’ll be copy pasting this comment again in a few hours when the next stage is posted too
Shithouse from Abdul Halil, he’s in good spots and then just runs into the barriers and gets blocked. One more stage to turn things around. Thanks for the reports roturn!

Well that's something at least. Let's see if anything similar can happen on the last stage.
Congrats to lief and thanks for the report roturn!

Once again the positioning of Manninen and the complete lack of teammates is worrying. Holding on to the podium would be great, but very hard with the same preparation as the previous two stages.
Fun to see Moutsios still in third U25 after his breakaway exploits from yesterday.
Congratulations to lief, and thanks for at least not rigging one stage, roturn

Good to see the favorites performing better than in Juarez, and that Dainese are among those improving. That said, can’t hide that I’m a little disappointed with the results so far. Feels like Dainese is missing a gear in the last 500m so far this year. Hoping for improvement on stage 4 and that we can secure a podium.
