Nice to see the break didn't make it, at least in France. Nice win for Vanderbiest, long season for him this has been after all those disappointing results, gratz jph. Nothing to see for my team  expected much better from Rolland but it wouldn't have counted either way. Gratz to sotd as well
4th non breakaway win meanwhile

France as boring as expected. Congrats to Vanderbiest and Coppel, though. |

Nice that Meiji at least wins it due to a loaned away rider. With 12/20 in their colours, it would have been a shame to lose it to the AI. |

Congrats to jph in France! So many did not consider him a favourite in the build up!
Amazed at Haddou's 15th place - his best result all season. It is a shame that the RoY award has been decided already...

Favourites winning in France, somewhat nice to see!
Feel bad for Euskaltel though, two big NCs for them went really bad now. Not sure if going all in for Bouhanni was the right decision with better sprinters in France.

Yay, Shirota keeping it, thats great! Was nice as we basically had 4 riders in the breakaway.
The TT wasn't quite as good, but I'd much prefer the RR jersey over the TT jersey, so its nice to get that!

Sad to see we didn't participate in the French Nationals as it would've been the first NC with Vontobel rider.
Is there a reason for that? We had four riders available (Fonseca, Maillet, Tronet, Guillemois)... or did I miss something?
Anyway, great job reporting the NC's so far... under sometimes difficult AI circumstances!

Nice Oba could defend his TT title and also great to see him try in the road race like last year. Though this time the route was definitely nothing for him. |

A little disappointed with Bouhanni in 5th only but it was good cause I'm at least happy to see that our hard work on the front will result in a good rider holding the jersey next season. Bonnet with a hell of a surprise in the ITT finishing 2nd in a pretty strong field with good but far from top TT ability.

Couldn't believe the result in the Portuguese NC  Poor ol' Gustavovskiy, really feel for you! Prio-Porto really does have some kind of a curse.
Sucks to lose the Rwandan one again (same thing happened 2 seasons ago). I really really want Niyonshuti to win it some day. Maybe I'll just have to buy Hadi for the artistic value. At least we walked away with the South African NC this time! Got really nervous Van Heerden might take that one. Not quite sure Meintjes will ever win a NC if the AI stays as is.

Very pleased to see the former Metinvest rider taking the double for you, it proves that he is in good hands with Oz. Congrats

French NC staying in the team, unless I go crazy and sell Vanderbiest? J'aime!
That's all our NCs finished now, with 3/4 possible jerseys won. Seeing as Coppel has the French TT to himself for the near future, I'll take dominating the RR |

Guess it's quite obvious who our transfer target will be... Sorry Avin, want him back, for good this time please 
Orlov though is a nice rider to have in a team, shame he attacked and not 1 of our 1-man teams, but he's an attacking rider, did well at Zagreb - Ljubljana when he was a stagiaire and also not too bad at the U23 WC that season.

Great result in Eritrea! Would have been funny if Afewerki won in the mountains.
Amanuel should be more visible than Kiflay was, though the latter wins the TT to make sure he still has a contract!

Bobridge! Bobridge! Bobridge!
Great to see a rare favorites win and then it's Oz style, too Didn't look too promising with two shitty riders in the break, so i'm more than happy with this big win for Bobridge eventually! Olman winning the TT is kinda funny. Don't really care as long as our team takes that jersey home. Durbridge with a disgusting bad performance though.. Also Bobridge losing almost four minutes! Olman is a pretty reliable TTler in general.. Nice stuff to complete two double victories in China and Australia.

Congrats to tsmoha! Without a doubt the strongest Australian-focused team, so just natural that I'm takting the position as second best here. As tsmoha said, great to see the favourite win. Meyer with a good performance, so happy with that.
Very positive performance from Howson in the TT as well. Thanks for letting him ride btw, considering he spent the season on loan at Venchi.
