Important note: S6 report has been "hidden" for now. Need to check a possible problem with narrow roads here.

You bet I will
Brilliant stuff from the team. Four riders in the top 20 with two jerseys and many more points picked up on the individual stages. Definitely our best race of the season. And that makes it 2 race goals achieved out of 4. After the early Drucker crash, that was looking highly unlikely!
Congrats Kentaurus on the win. Also, very bad luck for Vien to have that crash on the last stage. The stage win makes up for it a little.
Thanks Croatia for the great reports

Congratulations to Kentaurus, whitejersey Abhishek and other with good results here.
Starting bad Gatto came back slowly to get some descent points out of this race, an ok result.
Thanks again Croatia

Gilbert wins two places in GC because of a crash, but he only wins one adittional point...
I knew that this race would be a huge factor on whether we would end up fighting for a Top5 place or not, as in the rest of the races i can predict more or less what can my team achieve, but what i didn't expect at all it's that we would only get 10 points out of this race
Xero has already overtaken us for 5th place, Yorkshire and Azteca are within 20 points of us, and Goldcorp, Reddit and Sauber are within 100 points of us, so we might end up finishing 11th, as we were mostly predicted
Thanks for the reports Croatia

Congratz Kentaurus for the GC win and Vien (despite the crash)
For us, the expectations weren't big but we got absolutely nothing out of this race.. hoping for better ones

That was heinous.
Our 4th race (at least) with a massive crash for our highest-rated leader, and the 3rd involving Vichot. I'm now firmly on the side of removing crashes altogether. This is getting a bit ridiculous.
Congrats to the relevant parties and thanks for the reports/effort Croatia, enjoyed all the prep that went into this one.

Thanks all, and thanks for the reporting Croatia! A bright spot on our season now, though we continue to look for that same level of effort from Eastman/Chaves. The team is at least starting to score some points, and getting them in races we didn't really have the highest of hopes for is even more important.

Not much for WCC to take home here in terms of 'push-for-promotion' after all the early crashing and after effects. At least the youngsters Sanogo and Venturini were active. Venturini picking up a late stage victory to add to the two he collected in his neo-pro season offers a ray of light vs. 6 wasted RD's.
Congrats to Kent continuing to get the Azteca promotion bid back on track, and thanks for the reports.

Only just got around to checking the reports from this. What a shame that stage 2 win from Kaislavuo was amazing to see. He really makes the most of his CT-season making sure he has something to bring to the table when the contract negotiations come around.
