König, such a champ. Can't half tell we drafted all the decent riders when you see stages where one team places 1st through 4th
Visconti specialises in winning these races. Kind of annoying to have 6 top-13 and then get upstaged though

Nice to see the secondary Castellon sprinters off to a good start for the season. Guessing Schumacher won stage 3 by a reasonable margin then? Who on earth won Qatar stage 5? A solo effort surely?
