Really nice sprinting by Doull as a lone wolf. Lobato was perfectly placed on his wheel on stage 4 and then he just went 200 metres too early on stage 5. Solid results though with no support.

And I raise one on brewers, uploading Grand Prix of Sochi in full because the two videos took so god damn long to upload (so I just played the two remaining stages too)
Nice win for us in the TTT after the Giro disaster, unfortunately Herrada and Intxausti with some severe time loss on stage 2.. most of that time was actually rather unncessary imo, bad positioning too I reckon. And then some random dude like Goos outrides Herrada on that huge climb, quite disappointing once again tbh.
Total Froome domination in Russia tho. Oh boy.
I don't know what is up with Nerz, Celesion's youngster getting the good dope this month... Herklotz and Nerz just super strong in May

Cataldo is the best example of rider that turned out t be a lot worse when joining my team, but hey, he still got us an 8th place in Sochi, I'm not complaining that much!
Too bad we couldn't catch dst stage win in either the ITT or the TTT but fair enough, 3 podiums > 1 win points wise, which is all we need. 'course that won't put us out of relegation spots but hey...
Well, ITT was all I was looking for. But only to see how much time will Santambrogio lose. At least after stage win and 4 days in yellow, he's still in top 10.
Seems like Kwiatek crashed on stage 3 of Sochi, shame as the profiles were pretty good for him. At least the final stage 2nd-3rd was quite nice and with what's happening in the Giro I can't complain.
After some hair-pulling days of watching Feryn in action, Froome picks a top race to show his top class! Don't think I have ever been so overjoyed watching PCM vids. Loved it when he found a gap to come through on stage 3! Yeah!
3 wins. the GC win. ! The comeback is on: you watching knockout?!
Wow Froome just a level above the rest. I expected him to win, but taking 3 stages and even beating Nibali in the hilly stage was surprising. In the end Nibali just hang on to 2nd place. After the rather bad TTT by Feryn I definitely hoped for more from him.
Congrats The Rider, it was time your team shows they can still win.
Van Garderen killing everybody in the Giro, but De Gendt making a good effort to be best of the rest, the time trial put him back into second, doubt it's enough to stay ahead of Herklotz but I really need his rec to kick in before he finds a mountain stage to collapse on and fall off the podium. Still amazed with how this race has gone so far
