That's our first stage win here since 2022 (with Bagioli) and although it once again was a guest rider (so congrats to ember as well!) it's clearly a cool achievement from De Lie. Costiou also with a great day, just beating our former loanees Andresen and Pithie. It seems we're really good in finding capable future sprinter (i.e. bringing them in for part of their development  ).
On the downside Lenny is already more than 2 minutes behind in the GC, so hopefully he'll be stage hunting as well to maybe bring in our first stage win from a rider actually racing for us.

Good to see Orins in the breakaway. This is really all we are here to do. Gain experience and see some breakaway action!

Seems like our leadout never got quite right with the bumpy finish. Happy to roturn that Stedman ends up on the podium, although obviously not what we hoped for for Lund in probably his best chance.

Podium for Bittner must be considered a success. Well done by the team.

Wow, super cool to be part of a leadout that works that good, and also to see De Lie finish it off.
Amazing work by Costiou, both thank you and congratulations, kb!  |

Excited to see how Los Pollo Her-dosat do
Hopefully we can help bring Ayuso a big win here.
Congrats to Ekoi on the win - cool to see Royan take the KOM at least for this stage

Congrats to KB and specially Ember for the De Lie win! I'm afraid there will be more of them in the future
To be honest my only hope here is to see some of my guys in a breakaway some time

Oh boy! That is massive! Wenzel with an important win, and overtaking the lead, while also a cypriot and a greek in the mix. Even Varotsos fought well and is 3rd GC after a stage that doesn’t suit him at all!
Great first 3 stages!

Milesi looked like he could win stage 1 only to be passed very late and then didn't even manage to hold it for one stage, being gapped on the flat. Seems like that might be it for McCormick although Fainzgehct did briefly make it into a break.
Congrats to the winners. The De Lie win definitely seems like foreshadowing.

Still no action from my own riders, but considering new nationality it is fun to see a Luxembourgian win the stage and take the lead

So far kinda good work of our young guns. Podium from Glivar here and van Bekkum stays in touch with the other GC guys.
I hope they will keep performing like this and we may land on the Podium at the end too.
Thanks for the reports!

Nice to see Drakos have a good stage and even better for Garofoli to get into the polka dots jersey.
