Definitely not the start we had in mind for Gabby here, was hoping he'd add another stage win and early jersey lead to his tally for the season.
Can't really complain about the sprint stage though as Manan isn't one of the best, just got to hope he gets lucky on one of his chances to lead.

Good to see Favilli fairly high in the results, but slightly concerning that our best sprinter didn't really get involved. There's not really that many stages that suits us, so it's important that we deliver on the ones that do. Hopefully Korzh can do better on the other flat stage.

Great to see our MGUCI sponsored rider Francisco Lasca make in to the podium, the team worked today and it often signals a sprinter with good legs, but would expect that it was Bogdanovics.
Thanks for another great effort tsmoha.
Congrats to roturn, glad to see a “non” competitor running away with the points

So, that was all for GC lead. At least I won a stage and Craddock was fighting until the end. Now waiting for the mountains. |

Good shit by Kreuziger, some extra seconds won't hurt at all with a long time trial coming. Big day for MAL tommorow, +5 please

First big stage for Atapuma tomorrow. I have this wild dream of seeing him in the leader jersey during the ITT |

Definitely not a bad Stage 1 with Roe taking 5th! Campero with a very good time also!
Stage 2 we weren’t expecting a lot. No one lost time so I’m marking it as a huge success! Onto stage 3!

Brajkovic!!!
Looks like he carried his good form from Turkey. I hope we can take the GC lead tommorow, also hope Reus, Martin, Kovalev saved their legs to fight for the stage win

Same here...didn't expect MUCH but all I wanted to not be out of top 20 contention. MAL better deliver on the hilly stage or his ass is gone after the season

Ahmad Zamri didn't lose that much time and he doesn't have that bad of a TT on him so could potentially be sitting in the top 10 after the next stage.
Zoidl on the other hand let go earlier than I would have liked and will struggle to get anything out of the GC.
Hopefully Olman can do what Gabby failed to and get us a stage win.

Very strange stage for us. One of the two mountain stages and both Rodrigues/Parra Bustamente lost much more time than Sepulveda and with lack of ITT ability both will lose more in the next stage. But Sepulveda did an awesome job finishing that high especially before ITT. I just hope for a good condition. Also Moyano surprised me. First in mountains classification so far and decent performance in the stage itself. 11th is a great result as a breakaway rider. |

A stage win is just not meant to be here for us, but I really can't complain! 
2nd and 3rd gives us really good depth + Brajkovic having 2 jerseys now is fantastic
First leaders jersey in Swisslion's young history
Can Brajkovic hold on till the end of the race?

The horrible time trial finally over, now Atapuma just have to sit back and relax until stage 7. Hopefully he can survive the hiilly stage 6 and climb a few places on the queen stage. |

Okay, I know. Sepulveda is 3rd so far in GC (which is great, btw), but I already saw that earlier. I'm ready to finish 10th in the final GC or even drop outside of it... Oh, and Rodrigues is going to be in top 8 on last mountain stage xD.

Well, it's going according to plan. Kiserlovski with a good chance of snatching the win, Warbasse really bad today but very valuable support on the mountain stage. Team depth hasn't been shown at all so far so I really do hope they come along.
Brajkovic and Sepulveda, two riders I've been cheering so much this season, but Jani must be anhialated in the mountains now
