Not the greatest Schomber or Kennett ride, but a nice 7th from Jams  Thanks for the report Abhi

Anyone can check if Jiang's PRL is really 74? This seemed nothing like it

I'm really happy Kaspa got a mention. Just off the top 10, though Rekita and Pedersen were surprisingly bad (not that it really matters).
Now let's join some breaks!
Thanks for the nice report Abhishek!

And so the (Kem)boi becomes a man! Great ride, now to see how long he can hold onto the lead. |

Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Around the expected. Would have loved to see SKA on the podium, but just a bit too slow. Looking forward to the next stages now, hopefully some good riding by our boys to give the captains in the team up for some good results.

Should be a fun race, and thank for the big preview, AbhishekLFC!
As everyone else says, Herklotz is the big favourite, and it's his race to loose. Difficult to see him do that, as he should be superior on stage 5 and 9. Though, the stages I'll follow with most interest, is stage 4 and 7, as they have profiles that could give the opportunity to some opportunistic riding, where stage 4 and 7 are mountain top finishes, and normally should go in the favourites favour.
Will follow the racing with interest, eventhough my own team has grown too old to participate here, which is a shame. Guess I'll have to do something about it before the next season, as it's a great race to be part of.
Congratulations on the prologue win, jph27! Definitely expected Mullen to grab it, and hopefully Mullen will be able to do one better in the late ITT, as both stages really are his to loose, given the stats. But as the season has shown, the TTs will always include quite a lot of randomness |

Haha, so much for the Ewan-Gaviria rivalry.

Solid prologue from Silvio, and very good positioning by Lutsyshyn culminating in a great second place there.

Ewan with a fail here. Being sprint favourite in Avenir does mean nothing.
Bauhaus not as good as hoped but he was well placed, just went for the wrong side of the road and hence had no room to go any faster.
Congrats to the Willwohl win. Seeing Wiesenhof winning is a nice Avenir change when seeing all the stages Zabel did fail. |

Choose Your Own Adventure p/b Netia
You are a young 22 year old, riding with a Pro Continental Team, the majority of the season, you have been fulfilling domestique duties for their big stars, grabbing water bottles and reeling back morning breaks. however, the team has promised you a chance to prove you deserve your place in the professional peloton - Le Tour de l'Avenir.
After not wasting too much energy in the prologue, the team is all-set for stage 2, the DS gives a pep-talk. "This is it guys, most sprinter's teams should be afraid of Ewan so if the break has enough firepower it has a chance, Mads and Fillip can hang in for the sprint if they like, the rest of you can seize any opportunity that comes your way."
As the race rolls out you see Cuadros kick off the front, Svab and Afoa are chasing, this looks like it'll be the break of the day, what do you do?
If you follow and try to make an impression on the race: go to Page 2.
If you save your energy for a daring attack in the finale: go to Page 16.
If you don't attack and ride in the peloton until the end of the stage: give up on this game.
p.s. Gratz Heine and thanks Abhishek

Now, who said Lutsyshyn was a worse version of Ulanowski?
Solid ride for my pure sprinter.

On the bright side...Most of them kept the same time on the stage
