Booker really just took everything from us  Really frustrating stage, Marczynski is a classy rider but Dyrnes should have won from that group, and Areruya losing white really sucks, was really excited he might claim KOM and white when he attacked but now he’s got neither. His stage win will be a fond memory for the rest of our team’s existence but a race to forget otherwise  Thanks for the great reporting though Ulrich!

Juul Jensen in the 3rd freaking group behind the peloton today.
It is taking absolutely everything to keep reading these reports. This is somehow even worse than my first year in CT. At least then my team was just trash and performed like trash. Now they're trash, and they perform even worse than trash.

Gongratz to Mresuperstar, and thanks for some great consistent reporting Ulrich
The KoM and some good stage result, makes this a very good race for us, very happy with the way our team got the best out of this one.

That break looked set for the win from the start, but luckily no big GC changes. 4th for Stake Laengen is a great result, following up his amazing win in Sweden. Already delivered way above expectations this season, so he can just go on a holiday for the rest of the season.
I feel for you, bbl. I considered making an offer to get JJ back, but didn't for through with it. Very surprising to see his recent performances.

Initially I was happy when decision moving up to PCM18 has been made, but this is ridiculous. Another race, primarily designated for puncheurs, was destroyed.
Thanks Ulrich Ulriksen for brilliant reporting.

Before the season, I probably wouldn't have even considered trading him anyway because of what he's done for my team. I did expect some decline since he overperformed from his ACC in PCM 15, but for him to become completely useless has been something else. And for him to become useless along with Appo, Garby, AKA, and Steensen has been catastrophic.

Stage win, Stage podium are good. Ewan finishing 7th on Stage 5 to steal the Points is cool! Top10 GC from the 69HL Sergent, just awesome! What a weird race...

Thanks for the thanks. And major admiration for more regular reporters, even a 5 stage race takes a ton of work.
As I have said I like 18 but another thing that is broken is the way a single rider will get on the front and exhaust themselves chasing and then they all stop riding and lose 45 seconds until another rider does it. Meanwhile the break riders together in rotation. So a 9 rider break was able to fend off at least 4 chasing teams with minutes to spare.

Cool that the allrounders won this.
Kangert again not as strong as he has been the past years, but I guess 12th is decent. Also Boaro and Bibby in ok places.
Thanks for the reports Ulrich. Great job.

Good race!!! Koren came here just to do what he needed to and got a nice haul of points in a race we weren't expecting to. Bellis was a little disappointing in the end but maybe he was limited to a domestique role.

Happy to see us participate in the breakaway as often as we did. While it didn't yield a top result, a 5th place from Poljanec is decent and 3rd place in KOM's by Seibeb is still better than nothing
Kinda expected for Bilbao not to do much, but maybe was expecting a better GC from Kasa as our only puncheur with some TT skills.
Congrats to Desigual on the overall win and thank you to Ulrich for all the reports

Going through and updating my team results and stumbled upon this win from Fraile that I missed when the race was live. Solid showing from my six-cyclist Desigual squad that we brought here. Could be the result we need to make a late push for promotion.

Always nice to stumble upon a PTHC GC win. Your team did no stumbling, they were class the last two stages.

Came with expectations of a stage win in the TT from Zmorka and a GC Top10 for Novak, and that's what we got here. Can't be unhappy about this result ofc.
Thanks Ullrich for the reports!
