WTF. Haussler dropped yet Maksimov stays up front. Looks like a zero pointer for us in a race where we should have scored well. |

One more stage of hanging on, then it's damage control in the TT 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Heavy winds and maybe the tricky cobbled-factor definitely made for some surprises so far. The lack of gaps inside those Top-40 will make the ITT even more interesting. Unless nothing special happens in the next flat, i can definitely hope for Koren and maybe also Visconti to score some good points. Too bad our new cobble-hero Del Nero is too weak in TTs
Feel sorry for Vantomme, and also Haussler kinda shocking bad here. Though La Vie can probably compensate one bad race

Not really, seeing as Haussler has only shown up 3 times in 20 race days, and Maillet has one fluke result. I only wanted a top 10 in the rankings anyway 
Disappointed though, seeing three of my riders with 70+ FL and COB dropped - plus the rest of my team, but that's just luck I guess. Hopefully we can do something on Stage 3 and Mazur can take points in the TT. Thanks for good reporting of a chaotic race though  |

Not idea what's up with Thomas, but thankfully Sparling had some initiative. Flip side is that he can't TT so is only going to slip backwards, probably to well outside the Top10-15 by the end of things.
Not a great race for B3B so far then, but as we are expecting relegation it's not that annoying

Will post the 3rd stage now, as I aim to finish off both San Luis and Driedaagse later today
Btw, forgot to mention in the first stage, that  Santambrogio abandoned! Sorry for the lack of information here, didn't notice a crash or something.

Thanks Tsmoha.
Well, feel at the moment we are the unluckiest team going. Froome Mallorca crash costing GC, Vantomme crash here, and then stupid attacks everywhere. Oh well, hope things get better...somehow...
Happy for Kazzinc, important points gained here.

There are no words. Why not use Turgot as a leadout?  |

Sorry, if the report says something else, but he actually did. Might have mixed a thing with your other rider Wiejathahlagfqd there when writing the stuff. Turgot was the final man for Haussler, even though no real leadout once those trains went into pieces
Will change it later, sorry for causing this anger for your guys

Thanks, did wonder a bit there. Although now I'm even angrier because the guy who screwed up could actually sprint |

A bit unfortuante to lose the leaders jersey just before the TT, I was not expecting a 2/2 from Nepo 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

To be fair: Haussler hadn't the worst position, so you better focus on him with your anger Shouldn't be too difficult after his performance here

I feel Thomas was classified as a sprinter for this race then, in which case 5th place is pretty good! Hristov looking good in his national colors as well

Well that fricking sucked. Was Rasmussen aware of the stage going on?

Stage 2 was really great for me! Those time bonuses could make Bibby GC favourite with that slight advantage on Koren - less ideal that Nepomnyachsniy won Stage 3 rather than a sprinter who had already been dropped though. 10 TT stat difference vs 32 second gap could be interesting to see.

This. I actually wonder if we will see that "huge" gaps. Guess Bibb did enough to hold off the likes of Koren or Westra, but if it's going to be the overall win? I will find out later, and so may you
