The part of me that wanted to end our PT winning campaign on a high note that reaffirms our dominance is disappointed about 19th, but the part of me that dreads renewals is happy that our riders barely added any points to their tallies.
Congrats Ponzi, thank you Abhi, and did I correctly spot Tinkoff doing slightly better in the minor places?
Wow what a shit race considering it’s Lombardia - just another puncheur classic? Congrats to Ponzi though, great ride and what a palmares he has!

Congratulations, dev! Ponzi is just a gem, delivering the win after having raced that aggressive as well. Impressive stuff!
Good depth performance from us, which I'm pleased about. Also nice to see Vakoc mixing it up there, fingers crossed Beltran might get some motivation from that regarding what's to come next season, assuming he's still riding in our colours.
And oh boy, that fight to avoid relegation... Having had a quick look, those results means Tinkoff survives, with four points more than UBS!? Eventhough the final race is done, the season won't be over until the final ranking update is posted, that's for sure!
On that note, big congratulations to cio93! Very cool to see you get it right in every way possible, really, with years of planning behind it.

I think this is right, none of my other riders placed in the top 50, so Chernetskiy finishing in the 30's gives Oleg an additional 5 points back, and for the rest of our riders there is no difference.
Not a very exciting race, but OK-ish result for Hagen. He was obviously very tired in the finale and just couldn't keep up in the end, so getting away with 5th is reasonable.
