WOOOO what a great stage again obviously knew Bellis was going to drop but only going to 10th is fine then Boily with a great TT up to 6th the young riders jersey and leading the team competition then the added bonus of Krueziger in 15th the depth working well |

White jersey secured unless a completely random TT for Boily, and 7th should be the absolute minimum in the GC now even with a horrible TT..

nice result for evonik, gratz knockout
Same problem as Dumoulin 78TT.
As said above, those kind of time trialists only without hill stat, won`t do anything valuable in TT`s after hilly/mountaineous stages.
One reason why LLS was stronger than others. Less energy needed on hilly stages -> more Green bar left -> better TT.
Doesn't explain Kangert though 
Well, 2nd is almost perfect, but won't fulfill our goal. It's great to have Costa this good after that false start. Slightly disapointed with Oliveira though, with his poor TT.
Congrats to Evonik. LLS was a great catch and os already paying large dividends!

Expected less, hoped for more after stage 3. 3rd in the GC is really good, but Ulanowski better wins the final stage to accomplish our goal, otherwise this great race will end in a rather sad way... 3rd GC, 2nd on a stage, 4th in the TT and the most dominant sprinting train, and still missing the goal would suck.

Holy crap, Kangert?! He surely put all that frustration to good use. Mighty time-trial!
Grabbing 9th place in GC after what happened yesterday is an impressive show of character.
Decent TT by Koren. 4th in GC is once again a major over-achievement. This guy is quickly becoming a fan favourite.
Now let's make sure that the breakaway doesn't steal high GC places in stage 5.

Great to see LLS still in pole position even after this TT. He even adds a second place in this TT which is appreciated since not expected!
( don't want to write more just yet because I don't want to jinx anything  )
(LLS also leads the Points classification , while Smukulis sits in a strong GC position ad well )

I'm sorry but I can not agree, it was shown in the first stage who is the most dominant sprinting train 
I was not expecting anything special and was precisely what happened in this stage. let us go to the last stage and one more victory for Kupfernagel

It seems as Kupfernagel has forgotten how to lose Another great sprint victory for him.
Congrats everyone, this was a very pleasing event to take part in. And most of all thanks tsmoha for all these reports

Nice reporting from TSM. Most of the GC favourites get something out of this race, not quite as much surprising performances, and the two flat stages avoiding BoTD success. TT was still quite whacky though!
Congrats to Evonik, been a strong start to the season with LLS pulling of 2 major stage race results and winning a stage in each as well as others chipping in elsewhere. Gazelle consistency also suggests they must be sitting towards the top of the PCT table.

Did I mention Groenewegen is shit.
Who pays this guy that much money...
Boom did well. No single breakaway isn`t good though.
Thanks for the reports. In total an okay race for me. Nothing special though without Groenewegen performing better. |

Top race by the boys really happy that Boily first race he's finished 6th overall and took the young riders ahead of Kelderman it's a top effort |

Goal failed!
Brilliant race though, Nepo on the GC podium and Prevar showing himself in his home tour. Ulanowski should have done a lot better, even when he's not the absolute fastest sprinter. He should at least compete...

Oh so close to his first stage win...but second is a great result too.
11 seconds to fifth overall is kinda disappointing and having so many riders far up in the U25 but not taking the jersey is as well.
Nevertheless we got some decent points from this, although our rivals take more with weaker riders (except for Costa)...I want whatever Gazelle is having. 
Thanks tsmoha again, you're crazy.

Well, the ITT really worked out in our favor, can't complain about the whole race... despite the fact we haven't scored a lot.
Gratz to the Kupfernagel and LLS coaching teams for making obviously a great job!
Thanks to tsmoha for more of these nice reports!

2nd and 4th for Sobota, he is a really handy rider. Otherwise not the best race for us, but we are from CT, so I'm happy, Stachowiak 3rd in KOM as well.

kupfernagel has made this another positive race for the team. about the GC was a disaster, indeed worse because Vakoc and McEvoy were mere spectators.
But I am happy because I leave this race with two stage wins and third place in the points classification..
Begins to be no words for the work you have been doing Tsmoha once again thanks for the great work and congrats to Evonik
