Roundabout where my team deserved to finish, a surprise to be ahead of Festina.
1t4i are so used to being good at TTTs, it doesnt matter if on paper they aren't as good anymore. And wow Movistar, that's a performance of a team who really don't want to be relegated!
Congrats to tsmoha for the win, and thanks for the report trek.
We have the top level, but lack the width I think. We were lucky in TONE, but unlucky here. 5th is probably where we "should" end up, but it's OK. When our team isn't complete for a race like this, then it can go either way.
Movistar are indeed pulling some nice results here. The battle for that final non-relegating spot intensifies a lot after Volkswagen failed in Liechtenstein and Bacardi being outperformed by Movistar here. Those three should be REALLY close now.

Well, but in this case your your #1 has a better TT stat than my #1, same for #2, #3 all the way down to #8 - so we had no right to finish on the same time really!
Will put out an update later this evening, with the recent 2 classics included.

True. But daily form can do that I guess... I can easier accept to finish 9th and behind you here, than I could accept Spilak getting 9th in the Liechtenstein race

Wow, wow, wow. Every one of our guys gets a raise after that performance!
That's a hell of a TTT. What else is there to say? The heart and determination to stay in the Pro Tour is real. Come on TVG it's all on you now. No pressure...
Thanks for the report. Don't think I have every read "Movistar" so much in a single a report all season. It was quite refreshing.

Care to lend my guys some heart and determination?
Tbh I was happy with 11th until I saw where Movistar placed, then I wasn't anymore

Nice ride by Movistar there, no idea how you pulled that off. 5th is okay for us, I guess it could have been worse.

We managed not to be mentioned once, in a 60km TTT. What an apt metaphor for our season.
Thanks trek, and congrats tsmoha! |

That's incredible stuff from Movistar, just wow. Congratulations, Mresuperstar!
And congrats to tsmoha as well, eventhough I suspect many managers hoped for the "miracle" to come through when the times from the second split came in, considering the promise on Roy, Intxausti and Madrazo 
We avoided bottom place, which makes it goal accomplished.
Thanks for the report, trekbmc! |

Extreme disappointment with our 6th place, most heartbreaking thing of the season for Metinvest here. We were sitting on 4/5 goals, ready to make it historical 5/5 with podium finish and then got beaten in our strongest discipline by weaker teams. 
How this:
80-80-76-76-75-75-74-73
can be beaten by this?
77-76-75-75-72-72-71-71
Not a single rider in Movistar is better time trialist, this is pure randomness.
At least the best TTT team ever has won, congrats tsmoha, but it was too damn close.

Is Oz the best TTT team ever? I would love to see it face off against Jack Wolfskin at its best. Anyone able to do the comparison?

Just from 2012 Jack Wolfskin: 81-80-80-80-79-78-77-76
Oz 2015: 81-81-79-78-78-78-77-77
So I`d say Jack Wolfskin was still a bit better. In especially when seeing that those time trialists were far more all around than Oz are. Gesink, Plaza, Cornu, Posthuma etc. Higher flat and good hill/mountain stats. |
