I would be mad at VDB for ruining the chances of Bouhanni there but it's funny to see him mess up a whole stage finale  Good to see Lobato 4th and Bouhanni 6th managing to pick up some good points.

Wow, what a dominant win by Pelucchi. Not the fastest, but good backup stats pay off. ALways good to get a win so early in the season!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Back to mediocrity for Planckaert, but that had to be expected  Interesting to see how bad some of these top sprinters are performing, I'm kinda glad I didn't invest actual serious money on one of them now. Confirmation bias

Surprising to see Afewerki fade so far at the end there, but great to see him right in the mix, and 5th is still a good result - bringing the Points jersey lead with it. Another podium would have given him the race lead, and I am not sure I wanted that responsibility risk going into the big mountain stage.

Really weird race with the sprinters in front not being who you would expect, but Pelluchi is always a cool sprinter, gratz Ollfardh! 
No news is good news for us. Veyhe keeping his two jerseys for 1 extra stage is cool. Otherwise Kwiatkowski deciding to take a top 20 is fun, while Nielsen seems to really want to prove himself to the team.
Thanks Roturn!

Denz 3rd in young riders the only non breakaway points opportunity for Kraftwerk and that's remote.
Congrats to Ollfardh for the win and roturn for the rapid fire reporting.

Drapac has learned from his mistakes yesterday to take a well deserved third place. Now looking forward to how Úran will do on the long ascent.

When I thought things could not get any worse, Silvestre shows me I was wrong. With an almost perfect positioning he could and should have done much better.
Now we have to wait for things to improve from now on because worse is hard

Stage 3 is probably my favourite of the year so far. My money will be on Uran powering to the top. Minions look quite good to me.

Seems PCM has a hard time balancing teams with multiple leaders, only reason I can see by the lack of results by the sprinters. Which hopefully will at least be a better results from Roche in the coming days. Excited for next stage, where time lost to Uran should be minimum

Some huge gaps there... Disappointed VDB couldn't stay with the front group.

Congrats to trek! Now Kwiato has the race on his hands. Kudus was where i expected him, being the best climber, but what Kwiato did was out of this world

Kwiatek massive stage for his chances, surely his race to lose now. Kudus very strong but not having the lead and especially not dropping Kwiatkowski dampens that performance

11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Congrats to the big Pole! Love to see Kwiatek not only hanging on with the top climbers but besting them over the toughest climb of the race

When you needed to limit the losses in a mountain stage, it certainly helps to actually win this mountain stage
Obviously a huge day for Kwiatek. Can't see him losing this race now. Kudus with still a nice result for Eritel, even though I would have preferred a Kwiatek, who would need to gain back time now. Uran disapppointing, but those huge gaps will help some climbers against some stronger puncheurs.
