Disappointed with that 5th placing in stage 3, but very glad to have managed to elude another top10 on stage 4. I'm sure we'll get back to our usual efficacy at avoiding the BOTD in the remaining stages.
We actually may be top of the division in red kyte sprint victories, something which just isn't valued enough imo.
Commiserations for the victories, guys, and thanks for the reports so far Imladrik!

This goddamn team... A genuine sprint victory from the homegrown St Lucian hero! That's three stage wins already this season, setting us up to be potentially our most victorious ever under the Podium Ambition moniker. Absolutely huge result in a race we had zero hopes for.

Haller with his first decent result for us with 3rd on S4. S3 was a washout. Time for Yates to step up. Thanks for the reports.

Congrats to Mantez and TMM for winning in the sprint lottery 
Hodeg looked strong in the end in stage 3 but just missed the final split. 6th is an okay result nonetheless. And he looked even better in the second sprint, at least until 300 m to go ...

Congrats to TMM and Mantez!
Back to the hills now, hopefully we can keep it up.

Buchmann! Great result for him, now just hoping things don't fall apart in tomorrow stage. Also nice to see Muller mixing it up at the top. No clue why he wasn't doing that in the USA Pro Cycling Challenge. Thanks for the reports KB.

Thanks for the thanks, but actually Imladrik is reporting this one
But the mistake is easy to make given the anonymity of my riders here

There he is! Congrats Ulrich, Yates doing what he does best.
Surprising Bagioli is coming in 6th here with no time loss, what a ride to stay at the front and taking the white jersey. Tenorio still doing really well too, not gonna get my hopes up but hoping for a good day tomorrow and we might come out of this race with a lot of points.
Thanks for the great report!

Pretty impressive to what extent the startlist impacts the way a stage is raced. Last year we had Areruya, Meintjes, Yates, Olivier and PPP, and the gaps on this stage were pretty impressive. This year, with just Yates and Meintjes being superior climber, there's a 14 rider group up front... Still congrats to Ulrich, the Yates signing paying off for the first time
From my Swiss PoV, also nice to see both UBS and Sauber winning a stage each so far, in particular happy for Hirschi
I guess it should be between Yates, Meintjes, Buchmann and Hirschi for the overall win, all having a great stat combo for that climbing-heavy final stage. But after Bagioli's USA PCC, I wouldn't be surprised to see him distance them all and take the win

Woo hoo, Yates gets the job done. First stage win for us this year. Little worried that the team hasn't been strong, not really got many of our climbers here. Need Rota and Siegle to step up tomorrow and then Warbasse to cover at the end.
Seems like it will come down to bonus seconds.
Thanks for the reports.
