Stage 1 Nessebar (Bulgaria) -> Burgas

The Talossan Cycling Association Tour 2026 started with a short flat stage, creating the right circumstances for a bunch sprint. Unfortunately there was a big crash near the end, involving several TCAT riders. Hopefully they are all ok. The stage was won by Magnier, followed by Lund Andresen (REX/ITW). Milan (GHS/CHX) came in fourth place and Ackermann (MMM) in seventh. The royal team takes the first lead of the season as a result in a low scoring stage.

Standings after stage 1:

Pos	±		Team	Pts Ove	Pts Today
1st	(=)		Els Talossaes Rexhital (REX)	232	+232
2nd	(=)		Team In The Wind (ITW)	218	+218
3rd	(=)		Cyclohexane (CHX)	197	+197
4th	(=)		Gordon Hiatus Support Team (GHS)	191	+191
5th	(=)		Maritiimi-Maxhestic Mençeis (MMM)	108	+108
6th	(=)		Cézembre Caçeirs dals Mailintzarăs (BDC)	45	+45
7th	(=)		Cézembre Fieschā (CFA)	28	+28
8th	(=)		Velociposse Florencia (VFL)	12	+12

Tomorrow will be more of an intermediate stage. Most likely not challenging enough for GC contenders to make a big difference, but too much for a big bunch sprint. More likely the winner will be more of a punchy type rider.

Post for introduction and teams (TBD)

Well, there'll be plenty more racing to come this summer - registrations for Leg 2 will likely open around 29-30 June, less than a month after Leg 1 wraps up.

Meanwhile, welcome back to all returning managers and welcome Crement!

Ah man, I won't procrastinate next time.

oops yep I missed it too

Eeh, well the deadline passed unfortunately :(

8 teams registered

Did you both submit teams? They are not showing up in the league yet. (Apologies if you haven't yet. Just wanted to check in case something went wrong)

Haven't submitted yet but will before the deadline

Okay, I think I fixed it.  Onward!
