Kraftwerk having incredible race so far. Guess he'll be in a nice lead at the end of the month points update.

I can now say that Kung is definitely injured as a 76 Mountain rider should definitely not be losing 20 minutes and it's a shame as this field could have seen him challenge for the podium if he had good daily form.
But lucky for us Mat Senan has stepped up big time and outshone what I thought he would be capable of and managed to salvage a tenth place to allow us to squeak our goal by the narrowest of margins should he stay upright on the remaining flat stages.
Speaking of which I'd love to see Saleh claim one of those to give us a home stage winner, especially after how strong our train was on stage 4.

A dream race for Kraftwerk barring accidents, so my message to the team Hill Street Blues style

A nice breakaway stage for SKA. Of course I was hoping for a win but I'll take second place on a day where I was hoping for nothing more than 8th of 9th. My team hasn't gotten in as many breakaways as usual this year so it's definitely nice to see one succeed.

We didn't put any effort into that stage and stayed safe. Expect a bit more from the team for the next stages.
Congratulations to sutty for the win and thanks to Selwink for another great report.

That final mountain stage was extremely entertaining, however i'm surprised Sella didn't go sooner. It's also great to see Nieve doing well as he did for us last year. Would be great if he could've ended up on the podium.

Also interesting to note that in the previous 2 editions, the winner of the 5th stage has won the overall GC. Looks like that pattern is to continue.

With 2 in the Top 10, I can't complain too much really. Happy to have Thaouta in the break again (I do love that NC!) and him picking up 6th is nice to see. Kreiger in the mix for the minor places shows his form is coming along nicely the more this race goes on.
Congrats sutty for the win and thanks selwink for the report

Definitely not the way I wanted Lundberg to enter the top ten. Sorry for those who lost riders and GC positions.

It seems Baz's final position might be decided by the fate of others, just like last season. Never good to see you gain GC positions that way, and such a shame for the managers affected by it.
Congrats jaxika for the win, and gutted for haasje who misses out on another victory today (the other in Azerbaijan). Thanks for the report selwink

So, did an MG catch-up today.
Petronas still can't quite secure their elusive home stage win.
Great result for Eddie Stobart!
Fantastic reports, as ever.
As for KAYAK...
