Quiet stage from Tafjord.
Let's see if Gebremedhin can do something when the road starts getting uphill.
Thank you so much for the brillian reports roturn!  |

My Turtles have made me very happy here. Hamza with a great duo of rides and taking some huge points for us. Wish Keough had been able to find a pathway through the wall of sprinters, but his result is clearly expected there.
There's a reason we came here with this squad and they're holding up their end of the bargain. Hopefully one of the 4 can find their way to the front group on stage 3.

We should be competitive in every stage, except for the final TT.
WVA suffered from the CT competition (or SEE Turtles competition) in the prologue. Zingle did great again as a lead sprinter, just falling short for the victory. Sounds very promising for the other stages.
Thanks to roturn for the reports and congrats quadsas and lief with the wins!

That went pretty well! As you say, not a lot but it`s a good gap to have. Especially with our previous stage races in mind.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I will admit that my expectations were pretty low for Potocki but this a lot below what I thought he'd be able to procure here.
Congrats to Ollfardh on a great win for Oomen tho!

Wasn't expecting Rodrigues to be influential in any way in this stage, so taking second and even managing some daylight to the rest of the field is great to witness. Congrats on the win Olfardh!

At least the whole team didn't just drop out. Hecht in the KOM lead is probably the most promising route to points.

Sometimes the sim is just stupid. Instead of sending our best hilly guy for a try to win it, our whole team stays together and rides in as a crew with +8 minutes...

Oomen looked very alone in that stage, not our best showing as a team. But in the end, we take time on everyone except Toby. Congrats Tryg and thanks for another report!

Another good stage from Min. I hope he can score some more time against other top 10 contenders in the mountain stage, with the closing TT in mind.

Finally a sprint stage that went as planned. Great leadout and perfectly well done by the 3 guys I wanted to have for a sprint finish. Well needed points!

Some nice extra points there, hopefully everyone else is ready for tomorrow. Oomen needs the support!
Congrats Blasing!

Iturria has been solid, considering the terrain wasn't very favorable. Good tries by Rodriguez also.
And seing Wackerman go for the sprint even though he has no chance is always a nice sight!
Now let's see what we can do. Tough day to come, but maybe we can survive high in the rankings.
Thanks for the reports!

Excited to see how Gebremedhin can do on tomorrows harder stage. He's in the points right now, but that can easily be lost by the end of tomorrow.
Thanks for the great reports roturn! I especially likes the images. |
