YES! YES! YES! 
Amazing ride, no words for it really. Focus should now be on keeping that jersey, our TTT team is good enough to keep him there but the last mountain stage will be the main hurdle.
Also well done to Martinez for keeping the field together, what a domestique.
Thanks tsmoha for the amazing report!

Good performance from Shikai. Obviously not going to beat the big names, but a Top 5 in the GC would be a good result for us, so hopefully he can hold on to that, or possibly move up even more.

Well that's it. By the end of this race half of Veli's RDs will be used up, and a quarter more will be at PTHC. And what to show for it? One good race at C1, and three collapses at HC. If we thought staying up was tough with him being our top scorer, I'm not looking forward to it with him AWOL whenever we need him most. He's hard coded to get top 5s on meaningless stages or when it's too late, and collapse on any remotely hard mountain stage (except Colombia S3 after he'd already blown it for us). This is Majka all over again

A good effort from Nazaret to finish 5th there. However, we do have a shocking TTT set-up here so he's going to need to gain a few minutes in order to ensure he finishes somewhere around the Top 5 which has to be our goal here. Borisavljevic and Fernandez not riding too badly. VdB a bit disappointing. Good to see Mas in the break!

Fighting stuff from Denz, he must like the clean Canadian air.
Congrats to Marco and thanks for another great report tsmoha.
Can Haller secure the points jersey tomorrow?

Congrats to Minions on the win! Uran with a super ride.
Keizer much better, although I don’t think there’s a way to ride worse than he did in Colombia. Great ride to stick with the Moldovan and hopefully a sign of things to come!
Thanks for the report too!

Amazing stuff, you must be over the moon D2B! 3 stages out of 5 is some crazy dominance for sure. Congrats!
Speirs mixing it up again is great to see, and Keizer finishing 12th is hopefully not his peak for the tour  Tomorrow’s stage should be a ripper.
Thanks for the report!

Deciding not to bring a sprinter makes these flat stages a bit boring for me but I hope the extra TTT pawn is worth it in the end. Bring on the final battle!

We've very quietly been racing a decent race, while its very unlikely that we will achieve our goal of top 5 in the race standings, getting these nice stage placements is still very nice.

Kraftwerk management considering relocating to Canada
Thanks again for a super report tsmoha.
Job done we can sit back and watch the TTT battle unfold.

I'm not unhappy with Vingerling there. He's been fairly consistent with two 6th place finishes and I can't ask for too much more than that.
Now for Nazaret to tear apart the field!

Great effort of LLS in the breakaway to probably avoid a 0-pointer from this race, as neither Serrano or Pirazzi could enter the GC Top50 before the TTT that will only see them drop places.
Great win for Pluchkin, who with this win has tied Cunego as the third most winningest rider in MG history, with 63 wins

Great to see Keizer back after such a disappointing race in colombia. Third 3rd in vital stages during the race is great! Super consistent so hopefully he can keep that up tomorrow and drag the team onto the second step of the podium at the very least.
Thanks for the reports too

Fuck.
At least second is still on the cards with a good TTT but everything looked so promising. Like last year this stage is not really meant to be for Úran. 
Congrats fjhoekie, Pluchking coming out on top once more in one of the very few races I thought he would be beatable.

Decent result by Duarte once again. Too bad the gaps to the top are too small for us to have a good shot at climbing a GC spot. At least Ford managed to survive all the way to the TTT

Very good stage from Meintjes there, shame we couldn't manage the stage win but another decent stage finish from him represents a good race so far for us even if Rowe missed his big shot for a stage win here.
Still in the hunt for 4th place GC which would be amazing, although I don't really know just how good my TTT unit really is in comparison to others out there....

My relationship with Velits feels like a rom-com But that's too little too late, but I like the intent!
