Bennelong – Mitchelton passing the line in Malmø at 1h02’27 new best 28” faster than Fablok, the consistent good time from the team bring some hope that the team can revenge last year’s failure coming 5th in a race where they where the top favorite.

Gazelle last team at the Kastrup check point, 24’15 10th at +12”

Grieg – Maersk passing the finish line in Malmø 1h02’59, 3rd right now but at +32” the question remains how far this can take them.
T-Mobile passing Tollbooth Sweden in 43’33
Repsol – Netflix at the finish in Malmø in 1h02’49, 2nd best at +22”, kept the pace high and must be over expectations, let’s see how far this can take them.
Festina – OAKA at Tollbooth Sweden in 46’18 +3’39 at the bottom of the list.

Indosat Ooredoo – ANZ at Tollbooth Sweden in 47’28, +4’49 that will put them at the bottom of the list
Podium Ambition with a full time in Malmø at 1h02’56, +29” and 4th at this point, somewhat disappointing compared to what I expected from them.
Evonik – ELKO with 45’00 at Tollbooth Sweden time check
Minions finish the race with full time 1h03’07, +40”, 7th out of the 10 team we have seem over the full route. They will struggle to finish inside top 10 and that is below what I had expected.
Team Popo4Ever p/b Nemiroff at Tollbooth Sweden in 42’57, 4th a great time from them.
Aegon – Lavazza with full time in Malmø 1h02’49, +22” and shared 2nd with Repsol – Netflix, and with Repsol seemingly over performing, this might just be an OK result after a bad start, but will it be enough to meet expectations, is too early to tell.
Aker – MOT at Tollbooth Sweden in 43’32 + 53”
Generali comes in at the finish in Malmø with full time 1h02’43, 2nd best and with a great least sector cutting 2” of the distance to Bennelong, which must bring some hope for a nice final result maybe inside top 5, but high hopes pre-race that Generali could be a top podium contender faded some by now.
Team Puma – SAP passing Tollbooth Sweden, in 42’47, even with Bennelong at the previous time check but lost some momentum and 7” to them over the bridge.
Team Tinkoff crosses the line in Malmø with new best 1h02’19, a good final sector adding another 8” to the lead over Bennelong. Look like we may have the winner sitting in the Hot-Seat but let’s see.
Farfetch Pro Cycling 43’52 at Tollbooth Sweden 1’13 behind Tinkoff.
EA Vesuvio full time 1h03’35, 11th right now and likely to glide down a few spots. So seems to be at the expected level or even a bit better.
eBuddy passes the time check at Tollbooth Sweden at 43’17, +38”
T-Mobile with a full time of 1h30’40, 13th of the 15 teams we have seen at the finish. With an expectation of a 16-18 result, we need some slow trains coming (Bob anyone?) to get there.
Gazelle at the Tollbooth Sweden time check in 43’03, 11th at +24”

Festina – OAKA with full time 1h07’30 in Malmø, expected to be amongst the slowest teams cannot be surprised, that they are last at this point.

Indosat Ooredoo – ANZ full time 1h08’43 another good minute slower than Festina, as expected they are last and likely to stay last.
Evonik – ELKO passing the finish at 1h05’41, +3’22 also them as expected amongst the slower teams.
Team Popo4Ever p/b Nemiroff get to the finish line in Malmø with a 1h02’47 time, +28” the 4th best time at the moment, with just Puma and Gazelle seemingly able to challenge that. This result is way above both mine and media expectations.
Aker – MOT comes in with a 1h03’37 time, 13th and likely to lose another few places, all considered not a bad result from them.
Team Puma - SAP with full time in Malmø 1h02’29, securing the podium they also had at the Tollbooth Sweden check. Gazelle may in theory take the podium but they started the last sector with a 16” disadvantage so have to be extremely fast. No matter what Puma way above expectation.
Farfetch Pro Cycling passes the finish line in 1h04’09, that is 1’50 slower than Tinkoff, and will take them to 18th but likely to drop to 20th with the last two teams coming in with better times. That is almost on par with what was expected
eBuddy passes over the finish line in Malmø with a 1h03’18 time, 13th and might drop to 14th with Gazelle having a better time at the Tollbooth, but anyway a better result than what I expected.
Now the last team crosses the finish line Gazelle with 1h02’52, taking them to 8th. With the media expecting 6th and my calculation predicting 11th they must be almost on par with what we could expect.
