Chassot -4, keeps sprint, didn't want the clean handover to Toulet.
Novelli -3, kicked from the Liège team (but that was even before the training)
Almirall losing flat, 36, so can't complain
Koopman a triple... brrr
Bucquoy TT, perfect

+
Taiaroa now 84 flat, nice, very happy with his training in his career, with reg he doesn't need 85+, 83-84 perfectly fine
Ganambarr loses TT, good, gets climbing, he's mainly training flat/pavé...
Toulet sprint, 80, like Chassot now, but as mentioned above, Chassot refuses to hand over the crown
Lüthi climbing, very nice, 71 now
Onkelinx flat, under the radar so far, but perfect flat training so far, +12, 55-82 now
Kebede sprint, no double, but that's ok
Winzenried the same, now 77 and 78.5 pavé.

Very happy with this training, Lüthi, Toulet, Onkelinx, all very nice

Hit and miss this time. Thorvald is still training strongly, very good. Marek is missing everything, really bad. Two out of three 6x, 7x trainings I care about is expected. Downtraining is good again. Shankar really wants to ride the Giro.

Novelli pretty irrelevant.
Almirall -4 at 37, no Giro, still keeping some more would be nice
Koopman -3 at 36, flat too
Bucquoy is already 35! Flat, ok, we can deal with that
Fortuny triple, keeps flat and thus pavé, so ok. Kind of
Uru loses downhill, 33, we really hope for no minus, but if it had to be one, downhill is ok.

+
Ganambarr downhill,back to 70. We really want his flat to go up....
Kebede takes the now 90% sprint, keeps training one mountain, 17%, hoping for a double
Winzenried flat, 91% now, same deal as Kebede, 1 on sprint, there 25%, will probably drop that after the next training.
Gallego the almost assured double, 56-73 now.

Oldies overtrained a bit this time, while the youngsters, well 21-23 did the expected, Ganambarr the surprise with downhill, nothing else. But we'd really hoped for a better surprise. Not a superb training I'd say.

Warschner aka Waschbär downtrains everything he has with 38. Hummel losing flat is not ideal, neither is Maiks flat downtraining. He already lost 3 flat points in 5 downtrainings. Good that he keeps mountain.

Alexandros with a surprising flat training, I think he is just thankful that we didn't sold him The young guns all with a double up is nice.

Stenberg keeps downtraining, but for the first time a skill that counts. Hope that doesn't hurt his Giro performance too much. Besides that, not much is going on. The Boar is getting old too, Lautaro and Rik doing well. The rest is in the nothing zone.

Well, I take this. No significant downtrainings, we like that. Also the uptraining is okay, just Mittag missing his flat training hurts a bit.

Very minimalistic training this time. The only two with high percentages trained what they're suppost to train. No downtraining either, that's good. Guess as there is not much training, there is also noch very much to write about.

Not great, not horrible. Downtraining is mostly very decent, with Arlooktoo and Becze keeping all important skill. Unfortunately Voloshyn more than makes up for that positive result with 4 downtrainings. Overall 10 downtrainings a bit more than expected, but only Voloshyn with bad ones.
Uptraining pretty decent, but not great. Kholdorkhonov training mountain is quite nice, but not sure how many opportunities he will get from now on. Poggiolini unfortunately again not training mountain and really not living up to the early potential he showed. Other young riders making up for it at least with Baltabekov and Mengisteab training double.
Overall not bad, but Poggiolini starts to hurt now

I experienced the same with this training ("Very minimalistic training this time.") , for example:
David Choto is fully training on mountain, with 97% change op development. He did not develop. Maybe the trainers where watching the Giro or he is angree that i did not choose him in my Giro selection

I do something rarely done here, being euphoric about my training. First, I got all the 60+ trainings for Marek, Loup, Myron, and Adriaan. On top of this, Thorvald did his second mountain training at 25, now 73. Finally, Andres got another sprint at 29. He would now be a decent option to lead my sprint team. Maybe he will get a few more chances depending on form and the race's pace. Downtraining, Shankar repays the trust I put in him with the Giro nomination. Sergio gets the worst option with two downtrainings, and Nikolay's age is finally showing.

Yesterday rest day, so of course we only post today. Respect the rest day!

Novelli -5 at 38, I always knew he was an asshole.
Almirall a hero, -3 62-76 now, that's still pretty damn heroic, he could ride for Bucquoy. Let me ride the Giro with the A and the B team! B team with Bucquoy-Almirall-Fortuny-Gallego-Ganambarr-Kebede-Novelli-Onkelinx-Winzenried! Superb train, Winzenried-Ganambarr-Kebede-Bucquoy! GC leader Novelli. Excellent, no need to give him helpers ever, he can get his 37th place on his own. Cheap, escapes with Gallebo-Almirall. Perfect. Ah, training, ok, Almirall still heroic
Koopman doesn't even manage to get into the B team for the Giro, lost 2, flat, so soon more useless than useless.
Fortuny -1, sprint, no problem

+
Lüthi, sprint, ok. Not bad, we would prefer mountain each time, then a few flat, but we'll take sprint too.
Onkelinx 55-83 now, developing nicely too, time for more mountain again soon
Kebede sprint, now 74, no more risk, will finish the month at 76 with 100% there. Mountain we add later. 59-69 with 74 sprint already is ok
Winzenried flat, now 79 and 79.9 pavé
Gallego the expected double,

All fine, except that I'm not allowed to ride with my B team!
