First on Mur? Putting my money on McCarthy then. Hoping for Bennett though

Good start for Aregger and the Vesuvio team in general, leading the team classification. Next stage should be one for Skujins. I hope my guys can do a good job for him on Mur de Huy!

Next Amstel winner, you say? Then I'm 100% sure Wesley Kreder will take it

Some interesting guesses.
But read yourself and be shocked, surprised, glad, unhappy, excited or whatever else. 
For me this race is not rolling very good yet...

while the team seems to be riding as individuals the Actual Alstom boys did well there with Houle showing how dangerous he could be in this kind of stage in years to come |

Aleksander Aleksiev you utter beauty!!! It's not much for some, but wearing the KoM jersey for real is kind of a huge deal. Was hoping for a break or two from the Boeing lads, and helping the rest of the RBC team, and a very nice Stage 2 indeed.
Also, Dombrowski... ouch....

Yeah for Altur getting into the breakaway!
Soon to be the best Spanish cobbler... ever.

Huge success for Armavia so far. Our allied Credexbank rider Bazhkou in the break yesterday, and Pranata and Grmay with strong performances today. Thanks for the report Roturn. Even though I didn't had any real winning chances today, you made it really exciting trough out the end. Congrats to Vogt! |

Kung showed he could well be a decent hilly rider in the future, andgave good support to Shikai on that stage, hopefully he can continue to impress with more strong domestique performances in the mountains.

Not bad. Shame Vogt got away, but I like cio so I won't begrudge him the win
Elissonde didn't lose too much time and Bardet overachieved so I'm happy. Well reported as ever roturn  |

Shall we say Golovash (26 mins down this stage) is saving ALL his energy for the TT?

Great riding by Ziesler! That was a pleasant surprise. Holst Enger was also good on the first stage, will be great if he can improve on stage 3. Definitely a promising start for Risa-Ergon.
Nice reporting and congrats to cio93. That was a dominant win from Vogt. |

With Skujins listed as a Vueling rider in the short stage preview, I actually read it with great interest, only to learn later when he actually did well that he's not on my team - disappointment |

Sorry Christer...I had hoped he would come back as I was really interested in a possible Kennaugh/Cattaneo/Dombrowski battle in those mountains...unfortunately he didn`t...next time better make your own team as MTN obviously is riding for Meintjes/Lutsenko only. |

Not too bad from Bennett, even though the gap was quite big. But finishing within Top-10 ain't bad at all.
My guess McCarthy wasn't too shabby either Thanks again for those outstanding reports, I especially loved that intro for the second stage!

Great stage that was. Nothing of note from our little portuguese team, but that sure was an eventful race.

Koretzky aggressive as always, doing very well here.
Not too good for the rest though losing more than 5 minutes. Oh well, I didn't have any GC hopes so hopefully it means some attacks.

Craddock 44th in the GC. Should climb into the top 30th maybe. |

Good sprint by Krieger this time. Looking forward to him when he reaches his 79 I think and in especially when being 70+ in flat as well.
Will never be a top sprinter but should be good for some nice results and as German team it can`t be bad to have a German sprinter.
Unfortunately again a gap but Olivier this time on the right side, so keeps his top20 chance alive.
