Really enjoyable pair of Ospina-Nerz duels, happy to split them  Thanks for a whole bunch of reporting Shonak!
 for excellent racing in San Luis, aggressive as hell and beasting those two stages he won for a GC turnaround, eerily similar but not quite as epic as Roux's in the MG version of this race for me as well, but certainly a great victory for us and a great GC victory. Obviously fairly happy with 2nd plus two stage 2nds in Oman, even if Appo dissapointed there. And really happy for SAP with the GC win in Mallorca and De Gendt on the podium in Argentina!
Not much to say about Bishkek GC-wise, nice podium on S1 from Ross though.

Ospina is indeed a killer in CT, very good performances all around by him.
Happy with the breakaway/U25 jersey in Oman by Garcia and the 2nd place in TT by Navarette in Bishkek.
Tomorrow I will do Pais Vasco and National Capital most likely. I expect wattage bazooka.

Nice to see Jelle Vanendert in the right action in Mallorca, taking 2nd in stage and GC, we are still looking for our first victory, but that's for sure a great result!

Who the hell is Tilegen?  I'm just saying that because I did my long CT preview and didn't remember him at all. Big win with a AVG 75.1 rider. That could have been you, Monsalve, very similar stats, and yet you finished 68th!
Generally, terrible races for my C team and my dev team. Our dev team captain crashed out of the Tour of Bishek and must have crashed on stage 1, too. A couple of decent sprint results for Van der Sande in Mallorca, one breakaway appearance, that was it.
Buit I only care for Pais Vasco this month anyway. Thanks for all the reports, Shonak!

That was some serious output Shonak, amazing!
The dev team did fine with two top 10s.
Awesome results Jandal
Looking forward to Pais Vasco.

Bouhanni, while lacking in stage performances, with a surprisingly good GC in Mallorca, did not expect that
Shame Lambert lost white on the last day for inexplicable reasons...

Nerz and Ospina having some fun together
Also very happy about the podium for Jokin Palomino in Bishkek, good job for our u23. Nice to see our first-year co-captain Kuz having a nice race in San Luis as well!

Good racing all around. VDP with a hard time against the hard competition. With a crash in stage 5 he even lost the few points he could have gotten with the points jersey.

Yeah I know. Should've kept Slagter, should've kept Mollema.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Oh sweet lord Mohoric is turning out to become what I've wanted all the time. Can he translate that to MG please? Also very good support by Polanc, Bazhkou and especially Boileau which is very nice
Thanks for all the reports Shonak!

Very very nice race by Kwiat taking home a stage, almost got GC but Mohoric was a worthy winner, Kwiat almost got it in the TT though, more will come in the future.

Not sure how much MTN stat mattered on stage 4 tbh, didn't expect someone with MT76 to outclimb a rider like Majka at MT81 and at same hill stat. However it would explain the drop in position of Yates. Also not sure why Lutsenko severely underperformed

Slightly mixed feelings for me: Disappointing stage 4 (I had bet MON would play a big role), disappointing TT by Majka, Fuglsang nowhere to be seen. But 2nd in the teams classification is really nice, Hardy was a nice surprise, stage 3 was great.
Grupo Argos are going to win everything, just like I predicted.
Thanks for the reports, I really appreciate the videos!

Wow, I know it had been a while since last season but I thought it was a given that would happen
Seriously though a shame that decision didn't pay off for Ripley, I hope he does better next time - purely out of support for Aviva, not out of any love for Rafal obviously

Hehe. Well, it was more of a hill than a mountain, so I won't read too much into it. 5th overall plus bonus points is hardly a bad result. We'll see how Tachira goes (a goal race, so it better be good). Thanks for supporting the team, I'm supporting yours as well, of course. MVP Ospina!

I can't match Shonaks pace, but Algarve is finished now as well
