First off, absolutely amazing report. Your detail and analysis makes for spectacular reading every time. Thank you!
I'm not really sure what to say about the stage itself. Obviously it was much less active than I expected. I knew the final climb was short, but I wasn't expecting that type of mountain sprint. It's a bit disappointing, but it happens.
I loved Kamna's breakaway attempt. As the report noted, he was really outmatched in that group, so it was really cool to see him stay with it into the final climb and keep coming back. In the end though, it was heartbreaking to see him falter in the last km. Seeing every other breakaway rider make it, and him get swamped, was a bit devastating. But he has a long career ahead of him. Hopefully for us...
Completely anonymous rides for our GC guys. Disappointing might not be the correct word for Warbasse's performance, but I would have hoped to see him in that first group considering how big it was. Garby finishing in the same group likewise seems like a waste of resources. But I guess that's expected with such a weird final climb, without real attrition.
Unfortunately, 14th, 17th, and 19th on a stage doesn't do any favors for us points wise. It was a fairly decent showing, but it's not any help for us in the relegation battle. And I'm really not sure if we can get any points here now. Kamna is third in U25, but that will certainly disappear tomorrow. And Warbasse is 14th on GC, but with so many TT guys close now, I see him falling out of the top 20 tomorrow.
We need points, and this isn't working.

Not a bad stage today, but not sure why the pack let ENI get so many strong riders in the breakaway. Nice win regardless and Shikai only seconds off 2nd overall...

Well, this performance certainly has sparked major interest in him over here!

What a lame stage. I had the feeling this stage would be a long lull to the finish line, but man what a trip to uneventfuland. At least all the drama is saved for the last stage. Hope it goes better than the first for Reis.
Congrats to ENI and thanks for another top tier report Fabianski!

What a joke to lose that much time to riders that aren't even better than Shikai. Once again we get a really unlucky dice roll for the race day form. cant think of too many times we've benefited from it, and we seem to have it go the wrong way in literally every race.
Amazingly tense report though, fantastic work!

Outside of today, I don't think Eastman really did anything spectacular, but was good every day and was able win the race for us (nobody really counts Tenorio anyway). This was always going to be a race for 2nd, and Eastman did a very good job of ensuring we won that spot.

Tenorio doing what he gets paid to do. Nice to cap the GC win with the stage win as well. The fight for promotion marches on.
Thanks for the high detailed reports. Very enjoyable.

I guess that was about all I could hope for, like I said before. Warbasse's 14th on GC isn't really bad, it's just not what we need for the relegation fight. Steensen continues to be useless. Kamna's 3rd place in U25 is a nice little surprise.
Thank you for the phenomenal reports Fabianski! Congrats to Mre.

Another good scoring race for our amateurs, with Jones's stage win and Grabovski 25th in GC
Congrats Mre and great reports Fabianski

Supehappy with final result, risk of sending Izagirre here has been paid off! Moreover, he finally managed to beat Shikai! Eastman and especially Tenorio raced on different level, congrats Mre & Kent.
Thanks Fabianski for stunning reporting, it's really enjoyable reading every time. Just a small notice, final results seems to be incomplete. I'm curious od Bernal's final position in U25 competition

You're absolutely right, sorry for that. Seems like the report was too long, and so parts of the results were cut off. In the Preview, everything looked fine, but when posting it the results were truncated. They're in a separate post now.

By the way, thanks for the kind words on my reports. I find it hard to choose which screenshots to include, as some manager like to have a lot of them for their HQ. Sorry if they were too lengthy at times.

A forgettable race for us. Reis was pretty anonymous. At least he secured 6th. Barbio and Duarte with a very solid final stage too.
Congrats on the victory Mre! Thanks for all the reports Fabianski!

GC wise, very disappointing but we move onwards.
Borisavljevic winning the Youth classification was expected but good to see him do it! Conci in 2nd is surprising but very positive to see from one of our younger and more inexperienced riders. Definitely one to watch in the future!
Also great to see Gaudu win the KOM classification! Attacking riding is what we want to see from our riders and it's what the fans want too. Great to see the young fellas ride with freedom and enjoy their time in the spotlight.
