What a day in the office it was! On the same day of a big win in Andorra our guest rider Bagioli (greetings to Voyagin and UBS respectively) nearly makes it two in a day, though the overall lead (the first in the teams history!) and the lead in the points classification are quite a nice compensation. A stage win would nonetheless be great

Good start for us so far. Janssen with a really strong prologue - might even be the best TT result in his entire career, given that he'll never be a top-notch time triallist.
Schmid getting involved in the bunch sprint on stage 2 was nice to see, looks like his form is pretty good
Congrats to the winners, and thanks for the reports!

Would have been really nice to see Uhiriwe in the polka dot jersey, so close! But good that he tried.

Never good to control the front so aggressively and early with a guy who doesn't have great backups. Hanging on for 5th isn't the worst result though.

Glad to see representation on the breakaway! Miquel leading the KON is a cool moment for him and hopefully he can try defend it although that’ll be a big ask 
Happy to see a top 20 finish from De la Cruz also!

We got through the flat stages. Need to gain some time tomorrow, but Vansevenant is scary and looks unbeatable right now.

Another decent top-10 by Örken, I'll take it! Congratulations to Mauri and thanks for another very fine report, Abhi

Ouch, that one hurt. Perfect leadout but just went like 100 meters tooe arly and dropped all the way to 7th. Welp, that's how it goes.

Great sprint by Mauro! Taking 3rd in a bunch sprint clearly wasn't expected, hopefully he can conserve his good shape for the tougher stages

All that work for nothing. Need a win tomorrow or it's game over.

Vansevenant with a pretty awesome performance here.
Didn`t know he is a sprinter going for 3rd and 1st in the two stages.
4th in the hill stage in comparison is almost disappointing then. 
GC lead and let`s see how long this works for him. |

Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Wow, great win by Schmid, rewarding the entire team for the huge amount of work they did (according to the pics at least)! Special mention to Tobias Bayer, who did an amazing job on the last kilometer! Thanks to our friends from Bianchi
Let's see if he can double up on stage 5, and maybe even get a day in yellow, as after that it'll be game over for him with that insane TT luring

I really hope Pidcock is going to do well on GC to make up for not stage hunting at all

Nice win by Schmid, congrats to Fab and Wildwind and thanks to Abhi for the reports.
Glanbia doing what they can to get in the breaks which is all we can ask.

Deserved win for Bagioli with that attacking spirit, and also a great victory for Schmid yesterday. Not sure what to think of Ardila.
Feels like Galvan Ramirez is doing decent domestique work for Aleotti/Van Gils and a still in an okay GC position himself, so that's nice to see. A shame Pira will be too old to compete next year when he has 76 mtn. Beltran also chilling just below that top-20, decent enough
Thanks for the great reports, Abhishek!
