Close but no cigar again for Groves! 2nd in both stages by half a bike length  Great consistency to put him in the GC and Points lead going into the final stage! I'm very hopeful he can hold on as it would be an incredible win 
Thank you for both of the reports so far

Good 4th place for Gesbert against much better sprinters, and looking good in the GC with both him and Dainese in the top 10. Dainese showing some signs of weakness though, and with the third stage maybe being the most selective, it might be too much to hope for that he’ll stay with the lead group.

Quite surprising to me that Boutopoulos of all people in my team could not stay with the front group here.
Obviously this is going to be a very low scoring race for us, but atleast we have 6 riders still up there to have an actual chance if something crazy happens.

We have three cards to play now in the final stage, but I would have liked more seconds for Remco. Sossa in white is a nice surprise.

Congrats bikex, there's no better way to claim the title than adding unexpected wins to the general scoring!
Gregoire with a first glance of what he's capable of, let's hope he'll be able to defend the KoM lead tomorrow after sacrificing all GC chances today.

Not really happy with Valter's lack of action on that stage, but Nederlands is always a gamble in that regard! Still a very compact peloton, favouring the sprinters able to have a nice advantage after the next flat stage, as I expect they will also get priority on the final hilly stage. Will be very interesting to follow the GC fight, but Groves is definitely standing out as a favourite, I'd argue! |

If only we had THIS version of Groves last year... Chances are good for him to make it 3 wins in 4 years now, go for it!
