Worried about the AI just letting the break get the best part of 8 minutes up the road but fingers crossed that doesn't hurt us too much considering Morton may well be the favourite here...

Nice stage for us. No gaps, Galta wasn't amazing but hung on, and all of our notables were in the top 25 and on the same time. Olivier gaining some bonus seconds isn't ideal, but hilly stages always favor him.
Congrats to Kraftwerk on a tough breakaway win!

I have no clue what Kaczmarek is doing here, but I love it!
He's actually a decent Time Trialist as well, so he would probably take the GC-lead on the next stage if it weren't for Siddikov being an even better roleur.
But good chances to hold on to the 2nd place for one more day.
Thank you kandesbunzler for the exciting reports |

Shame the last breakaway rider couldn't be caught. Olivier almost played that perfectly. Now to limit our losses in the ITT.
Congrats to D2B and thanks for the reports so far.

No gaps is what we hoped and also what we got. The next four stages are vital for Eastman's (and Aular's) GC hopes, and really need to be good for us as a team. Wouldn't mind to start them with a Sütterlin win
Thanks for the report kb! Congratulations D2B on the win.

Would have been nice to have won the stage, but alas. Of course very happy for our frenemies at Sony! Seems like Eastman had a decent ride
Thank you for the great TT report, kandesbunzler!

Nice one for Howson

Galta lost a bit more time than I was hoping, though he stayed above everyone he realistically should have. Reis and Shikai will be particularly hard to catch now with their gaps, but the mountains will sort out a lot over three days.
Really cool to see Skjelmose in white! Thanks for the screenshot.

2nd this!
Extremely happy with 2nd GC and 1st Team ranking so far.
Now things will look alot different after the mountains unfortunately.
But, we've already assured more points and more great memories to look back on then we dared hope for, so we're happy nonetheless.
Thank you kandesbunzler for the exciting TT-report! |

That's about where I expect Cattaneo, now let's not tumble down in the mountains.

Great ride by Howson. Probably the first or second time all season that he's looked up to it! Olivier lost big as expected. Hopefully he can make up most of it in the mountains.
Thanks for the report!

We really should've been in that break. One more chance tomorrow!

Stage five was already scary but at least Cattaneo finished in the same time as most others. But stage six was shocking.
Dall'Oste attempting to salvage something with mountain points is admirable.

Two solid stages from Olivier has moved him up to 5th, with another second place on the fifth stage a good outcome. Hoping he can finish the race in the same form.
Congrats to ryant and thanks for the reports kb

If Eastman can hold on he'll finish second for the third time in a row in three week-long stage races, which is good. We'll no longer speak about the Giro! Aular and Lopez Nolasco are a bit lower than what they could be, so hopefully they at least don't drop any more positions on the final stage. But breakaway stuff can of course happen with the big differences now. It even happened without any differences earlier
Congratulations ryant, thank you for two great previews, kb!

Min currently 33rd in GC, what a dissapointment  Hopefully he can recover some places in the last stage. Good to see Bouchard is active in the breaks.
Thanks KB for the reports!
