The domination continues. Geschke winning again didn't surprise me as much, but his acceleration in last km was just incredible, one of the fastest I've ever seen in PCM. And then Tendero in 2nd ? I have no idea how he managed that at all ... The hills took a lot on the sprinters, but even Tendero is not a special puncheur himself . Great job by them though.

I call doping! I demand blood-tests and pee-pee tests!
Congratulations to Rothaus, they are really getting a sick amount of points from this race

I feel almost sorry for that. 
I had expected Geschke to take at least 2 wins in this race due to the home bonus and stages, that perfectly suit a rider like him with a high sprint/hill combination. But what the hell was Tendero doing there?  This was absolutely unexpected.
I thought it`s Velits in the train, but I had never thought on Tendero.
I wouldn`t be surprised to see Geschke also taking the next as well as it`s very similar and he was so dominant here. |

How much is Roturn paying you? 
It's looking good for me, though, 3 riders who can finish in the Top10.

I think it's not impossible that Rothaus will win the final three stages as well, Geschke stages 5 and 7 with Boom winning the TT. I'm betting on a whitewash

Second place by Giuax is good, because we assume that the entire Rothuas team will be disqualified... |

Lorenzetto must have hit the brakes pretty hard, 5th in one screenshot, 15th at the line :/
Nice effort by Elijzen though.
PS Roturn, leave some scraps for us

What a race by Rothaus so far. Quite incredible.
Seems like the nationality bonus combined with the leader's jersey bonus has quite an influence. Hoffman in SA, Geschke here.

Would be nice to see Jaguar actually do something, but it's quite funny that Rothaus are winning everything

Gives me hope for the Giro's first week, though we all know it won't happen anyway 
And I guess we have a new ManGame record here? Now already with a 1-2, this could be a promotion-saver if it was HC

I feel sorry for everyone who isn't roturn here. They're just smashing everyone else. It must be great for Rothaus to perform so well on home soil. It makes me glad I didn't pick this race.

I think this is brilliant stuff! It's epic to see Rothaus doing a clean sweep so far, and I feel roturn deserves it, after being struck by the "Vantomme-curse" last season
Nice reports too, Alakagom! |

I completely agree, we are witnessing history being but then again - Like Gustavovskiy said, then I'm also quite happy not to be one of Rothaus victims

What can we say about the performance of Rothaus... Regarding my team will just have to be satisfied, Mehr-Wenige has been very good and the next stage can improve your ranking, because the stage seems to me it will be quite selective.
Soto Pereira also been very good, like Irvine and both can make use of their abilities in tt to improve their classification and try to score some points in this race.

Hoffman on 7th may look quite disappointing on one hand, but on another, he was best from the pure sprinters, who obviously lost much energy on the slopes.
But what i dont get is why we are the team creating lead-out, with Popkov dragging Nolan to the line, when he (Popkov) is decent sprinter for the GC man, but he can do better when following others imo. But at least he is at the front thanks to that and grabbed 10th place.
I expect Popkov to move some places in next two days, hopefully into top10 in GC.
Congrats to Rothaus, this is slaughterhouse.

ffs this is ridiculous I though that Davis got that and that was the end of the Rothaus domination, but of course not. Congrats roturn, this is just amazing.
