Of course 
16th for Durbridge and also everyone else nowhere in the Top-20. Done with this s**t.

Hepburn 50th Still like what? Third best rider of my team? Seriously? The whole TT team on -5 day?

TT`s are just too much luck.
Keizer this time on the lucky end. Good in the end that it was the long TT while e.g. Durbridge had the good prologue but then lost the GC in the longer one.
Sometimes it seems Keizer needs to get warned to perform. Still not having really changed my mind about his performance. So let`s see what he can do in the next TT races.  |

That was the end of the fun, as expected. Still, free points!

It really is stupid that I didn't bring a rider like Novak here to take the Team GC, and some almost free points. Bad planning!
Jerome Coppel 3rd, while I would have liked him to be 2nd, but still losing just 1 second while gaining 2 in the opening prologue should secure him 2nd in the GC. Also Vlatos in top 10 unless he losses time in the final stage, like he did last season.

Fantastic 2nd TT from the team with Cataford and Phinney just needing to stay out of trouble now and as usual though I feel I say it too many times Phinney always performs to his stats he's so consistent I feel really sorry for some of the team's when the riders are just performing all over the place (Jayco I've noticed in particular though Prio don't usually get much luck in the TT either) hopefully this month should see a step rise in the rankings for us as well and I'll be interested to see how Phinney is doing in the individuals as well |

Certainly very happy with that! Jungels and especially Goos with their best time trials of the season to very nearly take out the teams classification. Kittel also with a good ride to back up Stage 1, leaving the GC looking very nice.
Sorry for those who did not get the luck. Jayco again, Zmorka amongst others.
And thanks for the report Abhishek. A risky move to talk about every new leader, given they were in reverse prologue order - but there didn't seem to be as many leaders as I expected!

Brilliant Jasha! We got the lucky dice roll this time. Fingers crossed the last stage is ridden conservatively and the jersey and GC position gives him favorable AI over the hills.
Please consider doing something about TTs. Sorry tsmoha and others.

Three riders top 100 must make this race a success for us. Now fingers are crossed we'll again join the breakaway fun and do a decent sprint with Kristoff, if it comes down to another sprint finish. Not much more to say for us, really.
Big congratulations on the win, jt! Phinney again looking to deliver big points, assuming he stays safe on the final stage. What a luxury it must be to have him in the team, doing as can be expected or just as often better than his stats indicates, on all terrains!
And thank you for the report, AbhishekLFC. |

Another textbook result from Phinney. Consistency is definitely his middle-name, congrats jt! Great day from Fiedler too. Beating Coppel even for just 1 second and despite staying behind him in the GC must be one of his highlights of the season.
Zmorka though... You know it's great and all to have a good result with Fiedler here, but being in the midst of the relegation battle I really needed both of my top-level TTists to perform. Finishing outside the top15 and losing the U25 competition here is awful.
Jayco, man, they are jinxed to the bone. Impressive how they turn out with the most absurd results so often
Congrats also SN and Oleg, strong results from both of your teams!

Good podium spot by Guarnieri's return to racing by coming third. Also Hansen in Top 25 is nice.

Bewley scoring big was always likely to happen, so we can't complain about that.
Last season Vlatos lost 3 minutes here, and seeing riders like Cattaneo drop, I was certain that it was a matter of seconds before he also dropped. In the end he didn't so Bewley and Vlatos basically levels out, and then Coppel+the rest is about 180 points better than the remaining Moser riders, I think.
So the gap should be 250-300 at the end of this month. Better than nothing, but needed more to have a realistic shot at the win. 1PTHC race for me vs 4 for Moser and realistically the same amount of points on offer in the remaining PT races.
My guess is that Moser will win the PT by ~500pts. Oh well, I guess that is for another topic.
This race went well. Thanks for reporting. Swiftly done!

Losing to Bewley is okay. Losing to him twice is unlucky.
Really was hoping to get a stage win here.
Then again Keizer as 4th did well when ignoring his prologue.
Boom in 19th is also good backup points.
At tiems he overperforms. This season so far more or less performed according to his stats. hence looking forward to the overperformance in TONE then.
Thanks for the reports and congrats to jt and Roman and all others that did well. |

Close finish there! A victory would have been pretty cool 
Roosen seems to enjoy getting into breakaways. Hopefully some notable results will come with those breakaways once he is maxed out

Jo! Winning at our home race is always the best place for winning! 
A stage win, points jersey, 21st, 26th and 31st places overall. Not that bad race after all. Festina having a great race as expected, but the rankings should be quite close between both of us I believe. Congrats to another nice race, SotD! And surely also to our winner - jt!
Big thanks for the reports.

Would have liked if Guarnieri could have snatched another podium but today wasn't the day for that. At least Hansen improved a bit in the GC.
Gratz to the winners and thanks for swift reports as usual
