I doubt we will keep hold of 5th and 10th, but if we do that would really boost us back into the fight to stay up, even if it is likely to only be a temporary boost into it.
Even if we do drop from those spots and lose the Youth Jersey I can't see anyway we lose the Teams competition, if we manage to find a way to lose 6 minutes in that one then we really will deserve to get relegated.

Dark horse Ablenado needs to hang on to a top 20 place while supposed team leader Teklehaimanot is looking to gain 2 minutes plus to break into the top 20.

Thank you for the kind words about the reports, I appreciate it! The final stage is up, and I tried something a little new for the GC portion of the TT. I found it too wordy to write up the GC implications of every rider's time, so this is what I came up with instead. But now I'm not sure if this is comprehensible enough or maybe even harder to follow  Let me know if it works, so I can see if it's something I could do again in the future or not.

And some more points on the final day, well done Janse van Rensburg.
Coming here expect minimal points, we turned into one of the best of the season. KoM with Ivanov, two riders in the top 25 (with 75 MO) and good stage results.
Thanks cunego59 for the reports!

Not good enough I'm afraid. Maybe I got my hopes up too much after that 2nd stage, but we very pretty much anonymous after that.
Thank you cunego59 for all the great reports

Surprisingly bad time trial from Amador, but the end result is unchanged at least. Congratulations to fjhoekie on the win and thank you cunego for a very enjoyable race!

Warbasse's well roundedness really helped us out this race. He completely died on the mountain stage, but what a TT to rise back up to 7th, which was above our expectations going in. He definitely can succeed in stage races, it just has to require specific versatility like California. We can leave here pretty satisfied. Fabbro scrapping together some U25 points is always nice too.
Thank you for the amazing reports cunego! Loved the updated GC after every rider. It was thrilling to see Larry moving up.

Super happy with 3 stage wins here between Klemme and Coppel (5 stages in our last 2 stage races now), Coppel definitely giving me hope once again while our puncheurs like Ben Nasser continue to unsurprisingly dissapoint
Overall a great race with fantastic reports, thank you Cunego! |

Thanks Cunego for all the reports! As for me, very modest, Kip wasn't there in the sprints, Pantano didn't do bad but he was literally last in the final TT, 21st overall not horrible but not bringing much.

Very happy with our result in the end, Durbridge still a little disappointing tbh with just 4th place but we'll move on.
Did like/enjoy the reporting of the GC battle on the last stage Cunego, would like to see it again in the future!

Bit of a disappointing race for Kraftwerk.
PCM18 really hates Schädlich!
Helper Ablenado again beats his team leader, Teklehaimanot could not break into the top 20.
Haller managed a podium.
Thanks for the great reports Cunego.

I really liked how you did the GC positions, this way of doing it felt like the changes were coming in real time rather than watching them all finish to understand it.
Also thank you for the reports.
As for our result, we did really well to get 4th and 12th, with the Teams and Youth jerseys too. Definitely a lot better than we expected going into this one.

I dont say that it was a bad race, with 2 top15 results and the 3rd in the teams ranking, but i hoped for a little more and if Choi didnt fail in the first hilly stage, the things looked much better.
Thanks Cunego for all the reports! |

Yep, as expected and hoped. Not quite as convincing as I would've liked, but still great riding. Shame Padun couldnt win the youth though.
