Nice to see Quita being so aware and timing his attack to perfection there! Nice to get a bit of a gap in the end as well to make up for his lack of TT ability in the prologue!
Thanks for the report!

Kaczmarek once again shows his worth in hilly-TT stage races. Hopefully he can keep up with the peloton also on the harder stages!
Congrats Whitejersey with a strong and lovely Quita victory! 
Thanks a lot Ulrich, suberp reporting as always! |

It's nice to see another good result for ivan, it's been a harsh season so far! Also congrats to wj, just racking in the points wherever possible! And finally thanks to Ulrich for the quality reports, especially on such a short notice!

Thanks again for the report Ulrich, and congrats WJ. Glad that Faglum Karlsson takes over the point jersey, any extra points are very much appreciated this season. Great to see our guys at the front of the peloton, nice to give the sponsors some TV time.

Good win for Quita! Oof tough to see Amezawa somehow losing time after attacking on the flat. Hopefully that gives Bralirwa some more freedom going forward Into the harder stages.

I do expect alot from this tour. Not in terms of GC since our TT capabilities are very Limited, but I would love to see Verschaeve pull of alot of top 10s (or even a win) and to see him in his highest form like he did in the ToA a few seasons ago. |

Not a bad start! Let's hope we can grab some points in Poland. |

Seems we were pretty active in the end of S2, only to disappear on the right moves. Still, no time lost.
On S3, Renard makes why we groomed him for, sad there's not much in terms of points in it for now. But nice to see him active and fighting. Another chance tomorrow maye.
A bit worrying to see Lafay and Stocek so far back, though we're not here for the GC. Let's hope they can try something in the next hills.
Thanks again for the reports Ulrich!

Good start from Errazkin, and I suppose Burke being dropped helps avoid any confusion over leadership - it may even make him more likely to attack.
On the other hand Zariff continues to disappoint, suspect he used too much energy getting back on to the train due to the disruption of the chase. Was always a gamble to sign him so no great loss, hopefully Page performs better in that role next season and we can get back some of the 500k paid for him. |

Not a great sprint from Kalaba, but a Major win will always make me smile

Great stages so far UU, thank you! Oka got exactly what we hoped for coming here with a good stage result on S1. Being able to find their way into the top 3 was huge for us with the few extra bonus points as we need everything we can get.
Seeing Ganjkhanlou as our official team leader also appears to help with him deserving a train on these flat stages - it's like the team realizes that if they don't put a full train together, that they've wasted the full trip to Poland. Overall, a great sprint to make sure he gets something out of the race too!
Should be a very interesting GC battle as we get to those stages! Have to wonder how much Faglum Karlsson can hold off the pack.

Better result from Dusan here, but bad positioning is a recurring theme this season

Not the best showing on Stage 3 but a huge turnaround of fortunes for Thijssen to win Stage 4! Great to see him performing with the most unlikely of lead-outs.

Safely through to the hills, let’s see Faglum Karlsson cook now!
Thanks for the excellent reports Ulrich, and congrats LLS and TMM

no idea how i've missed most of this but here we are!. Moscon very lucky stage 2 seem to have got caught out further back but managed to stay same time very lucky.
I might be wrong but stages 5 doesn't look that difficult to me can see a large group sprint then stage 6 looks very puncheur friendly and might suit, maybe some bigger gaps stage 7 just hope moscon can be the right side as his decent prologue has given him a good GC chance (5-10th) here |

Storer doing what he had to which is stay safe and be comfortable which a top 10 stage finish suggests. He's in a strong position going into the final 2 stages with Conci to act as his lead lieutenant!
