Awesome reports to read, thanks Abhi!
Happy for Valv and Cio with Matsuda & Cemazar’s performances so far. I’m happy that my boys have stepped up and have been a good support crew to the point we’re now leading the team rankings  Seeing Yudha, Ahmad and Wibisono do well is lovely!

Another great day for Bagioli (thanks once again to Voyagin and UBS) as he's not only won the stage but now leads all classifications. The next stages could see some more action from, if it's up to us. On a side note Romo's sneaked into the top 10 as well.

Anders Halland Johannessen was a great addition to our team!

Let's hope he can advance even higher, and overtake his evil twin brother  |

Brilliant TT by Christakos. Really interesting to see if he Can make the top 10 now.
Jorgensen with a great TT to really put pressure on his rivals.

Was kind of expecting Remco to do better in the TT, but I guess the mountain stat had an important impact on the performances.

Tough for Forssell. I guess it was a little too hilly for him. Skjelmose looking ready for next year though.

What a fine ride by Conor Schunk, hanging with the Glanbia guys must be helping with his TT skills. Quite possibly this will be the highlight of his entire career.
Massive time gaps on that stage. Great to see Jorgenson seize control of the race.

Unbelievable. After doing nothing for five days Pidcock fails in the ITT so decides he'll make up for it by being a sprinter, then gets beat to the win by his leadout Vermeersch, WHO COULD HAVE BEEN SPRINTING ANYWAY IN THE FIRST STAGES IF PIDCOCK WAS DOING GC.
I'll never fully get PCM but at least it resulted in something good from this race for us

Could've trained Pidcock properly and you wouldn't have such problems because he'd dominate already 
Congrats to Vermeersch!

Happy with our consistent breakaway appearances. Bit unfortunate that Tesfatsion faded on the hills after we did some work, but it was kinda cool that we did that in the first place. Curious what he can do in the mountains. Thanks for the reports so far!

You really saying I should have trained him in TT? Or maybe I should have gone straight CV1 instead of CV1-Fighter which I remember you liking... and he would have had one less TT and lost even more time

Somewhat disappointing race for Forssell. Being the favorite rarely pays off in the sprints, but especially for a guy with his backups, he just can't last in the wind long enough to survive those early leadouts. Welp, the good news is this is probably his last chance to be a leader ever anyway.

Tyler Cole quietly going better and better with each day here, although overall quiet race for the T3A boys outside an odd breakaway. But that sweet sweet XP makes it all worthwhile.

Schmid 3rd in an ITT
Guess that's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for him. But it kind of confirms that PCM considers him to be one of the GC favorites. I definitely didn't expect him to sit in 2nd place after the TT, great job!
I still have some mixed feelings, though, as I'd prefer to see him do something useful when it really matters, not "just" in Avenir. But if he can confirm what he does here later on when he's maxed, that's fine.
Thanks for the reports so far, looking forward to the mountains

Three top-10's from Örken in three sprints, that's what we signed him for
Galvan Ramirez seems to have lost some time, hopefully he has a decent form in the mountains and is able to hold onto a 25th place in GC. If not, it'll be for next year. Congratulations to Zwift and Xero on the stage wins!

Not too sure why we were doing any chasing in the Peloton but good to see the guys want to be involved!
