Strike 1!
What are the odds that we will not get a single rider in the break all race despite not having a sprinter of note?

Really nicely executed lead-out train and great to see Dainese finish it off and grab our first win for the season  That’s two excellent sprints from him in a row, which is a relief to see after underwhelming results in Juarez and Guadelope. The long stages here probably suit him and our team a bit better.
Hopefully we can keep this up for the two remaining stages. Would be really nice to pull off another win on home turf in Stockholm

Nice breakaway, a few more of those would be excellent. Shame the PCT teams spoiled the party by winning - how selfish!

Congrats to DarkWolf with the breakaway surprise. For us personally super happy finishing 3th with Paulus Some minor points we didn't expect.
And congrats Sykkel_Freak with sprint victory, fully deserved!
Thanks UU for the reports so far.

Waersted holding on to his high CG placement, but is falling down places every stage. Bertilsson is around the bottom of top 10 on every stage, but doesn't help much.
Possible to hope for a stage win later maybe?
Thank you Ulrich! |

Good to see Halvorsen deliver after a few poor outings. Overall, I think the GC so far looks solid, except of course for Manninen, who has a horredous race. Hopefully he can end on a high note on the final stage.

Oh goddamit, so close. Abdul Halil has had terrible positioning all race and then manages to latch onto the right shell and just doesn’t quite have the legs. Good to see him up there though.
Sucks for Pollos that Manninen has decided to phone it in so far, hopefully he can get a result in the next stage.
Thanks for the report!

Bit messier lead-out this time but it worked out okay in the end and happy to extend the lead We’re in a solid position, but the last stage will be difficult to control with the undulating profile. Crossing my fingers!

Oh, so close to holding a Top10 GC, damn that'd been real nice. Still, 11th 15th & 18th is pretty solid all things considered. And a second Teams Classification win! And a successful Goal! Plus two breakaways. We enjoyed this Tour of the Baltic Chain.

Congrats Sykkel with another stage and GC, well deserved
We must be happy with 7 points from Paulus. Liepins wasn't capable to overperform so on to the next one!
Thanks UU for the reports!

Haller was very consistent finishing with all the 3s, Stage, GC and points.
Congratulations to the winners and thanks to UU for the reports.

Fantastic way to finish off our best race so far this season Really impressed by Gibbons’ uphill lead-out which I feared would be too tough for him, and a really convincing sprint to the line from Dainese.
Great to finally see Dainese reaching his full potential after the poor showings in Juarez and Guadaloupe.
Thanks for the reports, UU (and Imladrik)!

No participation in the sprint nor the break is sad, but Weinstein result gives us enough points to be satisfied: best C1 race so far, and not with the expected man.
Goal next year: find a sprinter.
Thanks for the reports, and congrats to the winning teams!

A second top-10 from Wippert on the last stage is what we could expect, even though we had hoped for a bit more.
Fun first stage. Would like to see more surprising stages
