Bah. It makes my lead less than 500 points

We came here for the XP, and that's all we have after this race. Decent on the first sprint stage, but in the end no riders actually finishing the race
Thanks for all the reports, roturn, and congrats to the winners.

You might have entered the history books though.
Not sure if ever before a team landed a 0 pointer in a PT race, when all finishers get 5 points already.
So you might have been the first ever team to reach that minimum. Not that it`s something to be very proud... |

Brave by Guldhammer to try, eventhough he was clearly on a very bad day again, seeing him getting dropped by a couple of minutes by Contador and Aru in very short time. But definitely encouraging to see him try. It doesn't change the fact that this turned out to be a disastrous race for us, point wise. At least we finished on a high, seeing Guldhammer attack and Galta do a good stage, sementing a top 30 in the GC.
Congratulations to DubbelDekker on the overall win, and especially to roturn on an amazing race by Keizer. KoM jersey, 8th in GC and fighting for top placings on stages and even winning one. You must have been thrilled seeing which way it went in the final stage. Very deserved and nice to see you have some great and unexpected success as well, considering how much time you put into this. Thank you for another very well reported race! |

To be honest...while I love getting all those points, I would prefer having a rider in future, who is able to fight for stages from day 1 and not only after losing time and then gaining back in a break.
Luckily I must say, PCM15 seems to handle Keizer and also Olivier well in this regard as they are used in mountain stage breakaways. Or at least in those startlists.
Others such as you Guldhammer has a similar problem but then might be 1 mo stat too good even to be allowed in too many mountain breaks...then again Alarcon with 84 was going just as crazy in Giro or Vuelta? So probably not only stat reason.
But would be great if not only Keizer would be rewarded twice now in TdF and Colombia but a bigger variete of 2nd tier climbers. |

Crazy hard stage with all those DNFs jeez. Glad to see a majority of my team made it out of this race alive. Abal with a 13th isn't terrible. Would have liked better for sure, but he has done much worse. So it is what it is.
Thanks for the reports!

Brutal stage and happy to move up to 3rd overall thanks to it. With the white jersey that makes a pretty good points haul for us. Congrats to DubbelDekker and big props to roturn of course.

I guess top 10 is fine here. Too bad we weren't in any breakaways.
Thanks for the reports.

Thanks for all the reports Roturn and congrats for nice Keizer showing, in second half of the race. Congrats to DD too ofc, finally a big result from Madra(loo)zo.
Metinvest with great first stage thanks to Guardini win, from that point things went south, but 22nd overall from Karnulin was decent in such a field, so overall a good race for us.

Thanks guys! This is a crucial performance for our team as it makes survival in the PT a lot more likely. It also single-handedly upgraded Madrazo's season from "meh" to decent. He was consistently strong and level-headed despite sometimes having sub-par support through some pretty chaotic race situations. Great to see he actually is capable of pulling this off.
Epic last stage and awesome win by Keizer. Congrats roturn! Also thanks for all the great reports. This has been a very entertaining tour.

...ahead of Kritskiy at 2'20 - I know Kritskiy is riding terrible, but he should be mentioned in the report at least one time 
Upps.
But there you have your little Kritskiy mentions.
Well I'm happy that Kritskiy at least tried something in the last stage, thanks for reporting this race!

Tenorio disappointed again, this lazy guy doesn´t deserve any single cent from his huge salary. He must have the worst salary/points ratio from all highly paid riders in MG this season
