Our target top 20 achieved and another top 30 place.
About as good as we could hoped for.
Wow what a tight finish, congrats jt, also SotD for 2nd and gustavo for a good race! |

Lucky to at least get 11th with those small gaps, but van Baarle on a bad day doesn't help us. It's been a long time since we overperformed in a one-day race.
On the other hand, Porto is really getting away from us. Expectedly so here, but add Borges into the mix..
Congrats to RBC and damn, that couldn't have been any closer! Intermediate splits would've probably made that extremely exciting to follow.

Not sure if you're referring to the course design or the reporting but there are no intermediate time checks in this race...

Nice one. Two top5s and three top15s as I wished for. Zmorka hasn't performed as I hoped, but Nascimento's crazy good race more than makes up for it.
I hear you cio and tsmoha, but don't worry about our overperformances. We only have depth in TT. Sure Borges is doing superb, but he's like my only guy on the top100 of those races. I'm sure you won't remember Borges name whenever Demare, Morton etc decide to pick up the pace.
Anyway, congrats jt and SotD, and your boring dominating riders  And thanks a Abhish for another clean report.
PS: also, thanks, viking!

Aww man... So unlucky!
But can't complain. Vlatos doing a fine ride, going 1 better than last season. That win though! So so close!
Congrats to Phinney for making it, though

16th place for Danacik is a way better result than I have expected, awesome.

Oh and spotted a micro-management mistake from me here. Mistakedly picked Manuel Stocker because I didn't expect any of my relevant "free" riders could make a top 50. Had I picked Liphongyu with 72TT I would have probably gotten 5 free points.
These kind of points are usually making me score a rather large amount of points over the course of a season, but losing 5 points here should be something to overlook

And here I am, not even making the Top 50 with a 77TT rider...

Yeah. Don't really know what happened there. He was tired, I guess

Phinney really doesn't like Coppel winning any of these TT'S  another mega consistent performance again by him though pretty much confirming that RES has no impact on these TT'S at all and it's just the stat and daily form |

Great result for us. Too bad it doesn't bring any points, but hopefully it helps the team morale

That's a crazy good daily form for Vangstad for sure. 15th in such a race is far more than I can ask for from a 75 TT rider. Sensational stuff, and a what a surprise!
And what a thriller that was for the race win. Obviously difficult to report on with no intermediate checks, but I think it was still job well done, AbhishekLFC.
And congratulations, jt1109! Also Nascimento with a surprise podium, keeping momentum for Porto - Prio, as they continue to move well away from the relegation zone. |

Netia: 58th, 62nd and 64th
Evonik: 63rd, 67th and 68th
Goal Achieved.
Nice report as well Abhishek Phinney obviously a beast but Coppel takes it right down to the wire. While Nascimento replacing Zmorka is kinda cool.

As expected, not too amazing. Top 20 is solid enough for Golovash, and fat old Gruzdev showed he still has some fighting spirit. Kochetkov could've done better perhaps, but oh well, still not too bad.

Happy enough with 8th for Kittel. Neither an underperformance or overperformance.

Something to note for next year's calendar for sure, as the lack of intervals does make reporting even harder too. Thanks for doing it!

Disappointed a bit by Howson. I guess the results from Paris - Nice and the Continental Championships got me the wrong idea that he could somehow do something notable here.
A good result by Lammertink though. Maybe, once maxed out he'll be a top 10 contender here.

Wow, that was close! Congrats to RBC
Mediocre performance by our guys. Guess the hill stat didn't play any part.
