Well, another up followed by down by Kristoff 
As a sidenote, Ben Swift has finally bucked the trend by becomming the first rider who finished in Top 3 in the previous stage and finished not only in Top 10 or Top 5, but in Top 3. However as all the yellow jersey holders before him failed to defend it, could he buck another trend and finish in Lithuania with the yellow on his chest?

Another ok-ish result, really looking forward to tomorrow's stage now. At least we avoid the yellow jersey curse for now
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Bad positioning, likely not going to be a top 10 for Vesely unless he bosses the final stage.

Nice try, Baugnies, can't expect more. Come on Hayter, one more stage and you score your first points in your career!

Wage wise, Ewan in CT is simultaneously becoming more doable and probably less worth it. That still your plan?

Seeing as i won't be able to sell him for more than a bottle of Mount Gay Rum #ad the CT better get ready
But you're not asking the real question, could i fit Altur into the CT as well

Right? He finally did something good?! 
I hope he doesn't throw a good GC place away like he did in Juarez. We don't have a big leadout for him, but we do have some good young flat riders, who looking from the pictures have been doing their job to help catch the breakaway, which is nice to see
I hope we can also hold on to 2nd and 3rd in the U25 standings. We need any point we can get

Fantastic to get a stage win after three pretty poor stages. Guarnieri seems to always find a way to get himself high in the GC despite the inconsistent stage performances.
The GC is still wide open. Hope we'll have the margins on our side on the last stage!

Gotta give props to Baugnies, who was in the attack for three out of four stages. In the end, two points from Hayter is what we leave with. We'll feel this in the next ranking update, but that's life.
Congratulations to Lierse, nice stage win to take the GC to Belgium! Also happy for Swisslion, Saber making up (a bit) for his cobble fiasco's so far!
Thank you for the reports, G!

You sure have psychic powers there 
Congrats to Gaviria and Lierse for the win. As for us - we didn't make it to the podium, but 4th in GC + 2 in Points for Kristoff as well as 2nd in the Teams standings is nothing to sneeze at.

 Woo hoo!!!
Saber coming in 3rd and finishing 2nd in GC feels like a win for me!
Saber has used most of his race days already, it's gonna be a bad season for him, but he gave at least one big performance here Also great to see Stavrakakis and Groselj keep their spots in U25 standing for those few extra points
Gaviria for sure a worthy winner here, congrats Ollfardh
And thanks for all the great reports Gustav

I was today years old when I first jumped around the living room cheering after a win in the Man Game.
AS some of you may have noticed, Gaviria has been frustrating me so much and now it's all worth it. Thanks you for all the congratulations and also for the great reports Gustavovskiy.
Funny detail, I only got 2 GC wins so far, both in this race but with different riders.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Getting kinda tired of this sh*t
Arguably Altur's best race of the year, and that's worrying

Vesely did his best, a stage win and some top tens is definitaly satisfactory. But his prologue took him out of GC contention, still a miracle he fought back all the way to fourteenth but a slightly better prologue and he'd be in the top ten.
Thanks for the reports Gustav! Congrats Ollfardh, dance around your living room some more

Congrats to Ollfardh and thanks to Gustavovskiy for the reports.
Kraftwerk managed a leadout and positioned Cav really well but he could only convert it to an 8th place which was good enough for another top 10 GC to keep the points rolling in.
