Haven't finished outside of the top 6 on a stage yet so a great start to the season and the race for the boys! Mountains begin and its all up to Kiserlovski now! Camier and Oste-Macdonald come into play as well as the super domestiques. I just want Altanzul to keep up the consistency and perhaps win the green jersey!
Great report and congrats to the winner!!

Playtime is over. This is the time to see, if Tyron Giogieri is worthy of his salary

We must bid adieu to the yellow jersey, it's been a great run and an awesome start to the season for Signal Iduna, who may be outscoring Xero at this point! Cool to see Nsengimana in the break, hopefully we keep that up every day and even get multiple faces in there.
Cool to see Abelouache and Kal in that first big group today even if I doubt that will turn into a tilt at the small GC points. Would love to be proven wrong though!

At least Kiserlovski came back. I mean hes still in contention of a podium and maybe even a win depending on what happens! Altanzul holds green as well!
Congrats Benat and thanks for the report

Catch up on 3 stages for me! First the hilly finish - glad to see no time loss here as I do worry about Pinots stats in their area in s stage race.
Now the sprint stage... oh Erik you got that very wrong. Guessing the short climb before the sprint upset the train and poor decisions from Mohs was his ultimate downfall... shame as it looked similar to stage 1 with 600m to go...
Now the mountains and I'm more than happy to take 2nd place here. Benat will be strong all year so bettering the others is key. Surprised to see only Ellisonde with Thibault come the finish
Well done to kent on the hattrick and to quadsas on the win. Thanks for great reports aquarius

Great racing today.
Disappointed with Giogieri, but pleasant surprise with Pavlic in the U25 jersey.

This was the real start of Glanbia's season and you know what? It wasn't bad.
Brandt is 9th overall in a race in a race where we have a top ten finish as a target and he will hold his own in Time Trial
Craddock is same time as 16th place and I am fully confident can make up places in the Time Trial |

Decent stage for WCC with 3 riders in the 'main' group meaning still have small options available to battle for minor GC points at race end (15-25th-ish). Surprised that Ziesler made it there in this stage and not Agudelo.
Nice to see ex-rider Brandt doing well for his new team, and of course congrats to Intxausti and his team on the victory and taking over race leadership.

Another great result for us, as Saggiorato finishes 4th. Given that he was able to beat many better rated climbers, I guess he received good protection from Manfredi/Signorini. However, I'm very surprised about Thièry finishing 15th. In general, it was a great team performance with 4 riders in the Top 20 today, which unfortunately didn't really pay off in terms of team standings.
Now, let's see what the TT brings us. We don't have great TTers, unfortunately, but many of the other climbers aren't either. Top 10 GC in the end would be really cool.
And glad to see Mäder in the BotD again!
Congrats to quadsas for an important win, and thanks for the report.

Congrats Zalgiris!
Atapuma with 7th about where he should be. Still within range of a top 5, but the TT might destroy that hope |

Great ride by Squire to keep himself in range for a good GC finish. Now also time to see if we can get some breakaway action going on the rest of this race.

Was hoping for a bit more than top 3 but, with the field here, I can't really complain. Now there's hope for a GC top 5 at least!

Absolutely horrible stage by Atapuma.
Bye bye to top 5, but can still save a decent top 10 with good riding on the queen stage tomorrow.
Thank you for the reports Acquarius!  |

7th for Giogieri in a stage where I didn't expect anything. Very nice result.

Another great performance - unfortunately not by the "right" rider. Saggiorato on 4 instead of Manfredi would have been huge, but at least Mirco is still on P6 overall. Manfredi on P14 with a Top 15 option, and despite Saggiorato's really bad performance, we're still 4th in the team standings as well. Bring on some more mountains!
Congrats to Jakstar, amazing win! And thanks for another great report!
