Happy with an appearance in the break, and Landa keeping his position.
Risa are really looking great atm, their depth definetely paying off!
Dont think this one was any better...though luck!
Remindet me of what happened with Anton at Romandie, happy I didnt send him here aswell!

Thanks for the kind words, knockout and dev. Great victory for Docker, really happy to see him doing such a good season (when he actually sprints  . Hopefully we can continue the stage hunting, while Levarlet takes a top 10-15 in the GC.
Very tough luck for Valls here, that's a shame really. Hope he's not injured, and can grab a win from a break or something.
Thanks for the report, Atlantius.

Great to see Risa-Ergon win! A rather dominant one as well, I would say, congratulations, tastasol!
Nice to have Dyrnes in the breakaway, hopefully we can continue this way and be part of it also on the hilly stages, then it could get really interesting... 
And that is very unfortunate for Valls and Euskaltel-Air France, if he is injured you can only hope he will recover before the mountain stage, where he looked set to play a vital role. |

Congrats to Risa and Docker and thanks for the report!
Grosu was coming with a rocket speed it seems, 3rd is nice, but not enough with such a sprint. Our sprint train failed completely, maybe bit of a planning mistake. Grosu would do better with finding a wheel himself.

Had a bit higher hopes when I saw Nepomnyachsniy still there in the final. But 9th at least gives some points.. |

Glad to have had an innocent flat stage. Congrats to Risa.
Now it's time for Machado to do his thing!

Stage 3 saw Boswell and Le Gac hold their positions. That is about all we hoped for. Boswell appears to be in good form and ready to keep the pressure on. Maybe a couple of the top contenders can stumble and open a top 10 spot for him.

We got one mention on stage 3 and that was because Max had a puncture 
that about what I expect from this race... |

Not the best terrain for Cavendish but he still managed a creditable 6th place |

Cool stage 2! Happy Kangert got involved and finished in a decent spot. The quest for top 5 GC has started.
Massive result by Boily, congrats.

Nice and safe in the peloton. Game still friendly not sending guys in the break or making Prevar/Ulanowski our leaders. Not all Nepom has to do is keep the pressure on Machado and smoke him in the TT

Santos not really getting his nose quite there but still hopeful for a podium somewhere with him or in a break.

It's a long race, so will Poljanski finally join a break?
That's all I'm waiting for tbh and seeing Nepom fail basically

Stage2 - Gerdemann did well to limit losses to the main favorites
Stage3 - Excellent work of the team to chase the break and put Haussler in optimal position to attack the final sprint, but it is still disappointing that after the great work of the team, Haussler has not achieved a stage victory yet the 2nd does not leave to be a good result

Ok, now I'm starting to get worried. These are the stages that are supposed to suit Kwiatkowski, instead he's losing time on guys like Nazaret, who he should be much better than.
With Nazaret doing so well on the hills, can someone tell me the H/M ratio of the stages or check them? Just seems strange for this to happen twice. |

Poor stage from Levarlet, and especially Juul-Jensen here. Obvious that the M/H ratio were quite high on this stage, I would reckon, though. Looks like it will be a tough race for us, unless we can grab another stage win or so.

I think this stage was obviously a high M ratio by whose gone strong at the end of the climb happy with Boily keeping himself in their and great to see former rider Lane take the win and yellow |
