Thanks Nemolito for the preview!  Exciting stage race for us, with competitors on nearly all terrain with Min, Liu and Calmejane. The TTT loss was already calculated, so the race can start for us.
Congrats SotD with the win!

Great effort! Surprised we were that highly rated, but the guys sure delivered. Tenorio in a great spot early on, hopefully he can hang in there til the end.
Congrats on the win SotD!
Thanks for the report.

Perfect result for us. No splits and No sprinter overtaking my riders at the front.
We have now accumulated the points we hoped for in stage 1 and 2. It’s all up to Giannoutsos now to show What he Can do.

That's the Kalaba we know and love, shame there was just one faster today. Congrats Laurens!

Keeping the white one more day is good, now it's all for Oomen!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Not a bad TTT and survived the sprint stage with Wolf at least trying in the break.(really could we have chosen a less suited rider).
But not optimistic we will hold on for much.
Thanks Imladrik for the reports.

Nothing for us there. The next two stages will be important.
Congrats Laurens and thanks for the report!

Congrats to SotD and Laurens for getting the favourites wins! The TTT was okay for us and stage 2 was never on our list, though we wouldn't have minded someone in the break. But it's all about the next three stages now.

Not too shabby, even if we did lose the lead. It’s extremely close between the best climbers in the race, so the TTT is probably not going to make the difference we hoped for. So we have to cross our fingers Giannoutsos have a good form on the two final selective stage. Could really use a top 5 GC :-)

Pretty good! Missing the stage win, but leader + mountain jersey is pretty good. Let's hope for a good day tomorrow.

Cattaneo finishing in the front group is all I'd asked for this stage, so pretty happy with the result.

Great stage win from Liu in S2 Just what we hoped for!
If Min can get a good GC position out of this, I’m a happy manager.
Thanks for the reports, Imladrik! You guys are doing great with such a small group.

Oof that was ugly, not a single rider in the top 100 and most losing 5 minutes despite the respectable TTT. Unfortunately nobody on the team is quite good enough to get any precedence so they all just give up - which is what I feared. Same thing in Catalonia, and California is likely to end the same way.
No excuses for not being in all the remaining breaks and not with Wolf.

Good job by Gebremedhin and Dyrnes to hang on in GC. Now the next stages will be really exciting. We need to make up some serious losses in the TTT
Thank you Imladrik for the phenomenal work! |

Congrats Laurens on the sprint victory, and to Fj on Padun being the best on the first big stage.
Perfectly ridden by the team, Tenorio needs to survive as best he can tomorrow and make it to the TT within a respectable distance of the top-10. Canty and Abdurranman doing very well also, leading the team C is also a first for the season.
Thanks for the report!

Great job by Olivier getting second and bonus seconds. More of the same in the next stage please. Also good work by Carcueva and Leemreize to stay in the first group.
Congrats to fj and thanks for the report

Should be an exciting race and the big guns Padun, Olivier and Oomen all looking good there

Some rather Big gaps today. Fortunately Giannoutsos did alright here. He might drop to 6th, but should be able to atleast give it a solid fight to stay in 5th. Spanopoulos in top 25 for some minor points aswell seems likely.
I would have likes for Ioannidis, Kiriakidis and Agrotis to survive inside top 50, but maybe a couple of them Can use the TT to get just inside. I guess it’s time for Kiriakidis and Agrotis to get +2MO next off season to get a bit more points in races like this :-)

Quite a gap for Cattaneo, but not totally unexpected. Tomorrow's stage should suit him better.
Great to see Vosekalns going for those extra few points

I feared Reis the most of all riders here and now he actually gains some time on us. Tomorrow could get very tricky.
