Awesome battle and good results for both Würth and the turtles! Congrats to both on a solid result.
Good result for us also having the podium take away those bonus seconds from the GC guys. Tomorrow is another story though, should be an exciting stage whatever way it goes. Good to see a lot of our guys finish light years behind the peloton, hopefully saving energy for chasing duties tomorrow!
Thanks for the report again

Uhm sorry? What are my guys doing here?! Definitely way more than we expected out of this.
Great Job from La Lavandier. Adding another win to our record. Mainly he is a helper for our leaders but all season long he is able to shine himself too, great!
Also very good job from Schelling with fighting back into the group.
Being able to wear 2 jerseys at the next stage. I am more than happy!
Thanks for the report! And also congrats to our fellow CT buddies, great result for them too.

Hmm. Again we get a guy in the breakaway, but again he's outclassed by what I feel like on paper are weaker climbers. Quite unfortunate given that Eyob could've been in contention for a stage win, but still a decent effort. I would've like for either Eyob or Tesfatsion to be the breakaway rider of choice both yesterday and today in order to focus the KoM hunt on one rider, but then Würth has the same issue and they simply executed better.
I hope that one of the two will go again to compete for the jersey, or that Ndayisenga attacks and then is hopefully strong enough to go for a stage win. We'll see. Congrats Ezee for a very nice stage win, and thanks for the report kb!

Sneaky good racing from us so far. Monsalve doing exactly what he has signed to do by staying in top 10 contention. Thanks for the reports!

At least the top 5 looks secure, but the podium seems very unlikely.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Hope that wasn't Bennett playing his entire hand for no real reward. 5th wouldn't be a disaster but we gotta be aiming for more, so I hope he has the energy to keep going - though I worry he will have a really bad day coming up.

Again a great showing from our guys! Schelling presenting his white jersey in a fabulous manner. With Hindley also making sure that we get enough screentime.
The final stage result is also fine, we arent strong enough when the top guys start to pedal hard but they did what they can.
Schelling still in 1st for U25, thats a great result. Also we should see once again one of our guys in the KoM Shirt since Yates has to wear the leader shirt, so Hindley will carry it for him.
Overall i am still very happy with what they are doing and this our is already a huge W for us.
Thanks for the awesome report and congrats to the winner here!

Disaster race for us. First two stages, we send the weakest guys in the break, third stage we're not even here. More worrying that the Turtles and Würth have good results to add on that, which could be threatening in the top 10 fight.
Thanks for the reports nonetheless! Congrats to those who have good results.

An other great ride by Aular on stage 3. If he can keep this level up and finish top-3 in GC we would be incredibly happy. Nice to see Osorio not giving up in the U25 either
Congratulations again, Eden! Great win. And thank you for the great report again to kb

Or not, what a season Oomen is having! Great report as well, focusing on the big picture.

9th is not what we had hoped for, but it's ok I guess.
Thanks for the great reports and congrats for the podium guys!

We are happy with our results, on a Mountain TT it was clear we couldnt surprise like we could before. But Schelling could finish well enough to keep the white jersey.
Thanks for the report and congrats to the ones finish at the top.

Not an amazing time trial by Aular, but definitely not a bad one either. He stays in the top-3 and now we hope he can remain there with one final decent stage. Seems like Osorio did a decent job and is still giving Schelling a battle for the white jersey, would be amazing for Osorio and the team if he could take over that first place, but finishing second is also decent I think.
Congratulations Ollfardh And thank you for a great TT report, kb!

Rough MTT for Bennett, gotta feel sorry for Jandal with that one.
Really strong one from Oomen putting him right back into contention.
We lose our Team's GC lead which is expected but Monsalve puts in another solid performance, here's hoping that he can hold onto that top 10 GC spot!
Thanks for the report!

Two stage wins for Yates is incredible! He’s had such a strong race so far. With how MTT’s have been so far this season I thought he’d lose the lead for sure. Congrats to Olfardh on Oomen riding himself back to within a hair of yellow - going to be a very tense final stage. A podium should be all but locked in at least barring disaster, but it would be hard to lose the lead on the final day after leading all race.
Thanks for the lovely report!

It got really close, but definitely a deserved win for Indosat, congrats Eden! I can't really complain with a 2nd place GC and two stage wins. Thanks for a great set of reports, KB!

Solid final stage and overall race for us! Monsalve staying in the top 10 was all that I required from him. Second in teams and some depth points from Elissonde and Potocki are just nice bonuses to maintain our top 10 PCT position!

Solid Team result, hopefully all those placements should add up to decent points out of this race
