Big CRAP of a tour. Luckily Leknessund is a ledge and I think pushed us towards around 60 points, but THE CRAP AI IMMA QUIT (cause I did badly)

Again not good enough I'm afraid. Need to do much better given our current situation.
Thanks for the reports and congrats to fj

Ay look at that, another successful leadout! Maybe it really is more the DB/team setup and the game itself is not entirely broken in that regard. Not sure that helps us much, but something to continue to monitor

When you quit, can you tell Leknessund to head over to his new home in Tafjord?
Thank you for the reports and congrats Pluchkin! |

Cool to see Vangstad trying to salvage this race for us, but it wasn't to be.
Thank you for the reports through the whole race, red! |

Welp, not quite the way I wanted to end it. We had a good chance at points and KOM heading into the final 2 days, and lost both jerseys. Of course we still got a GC podium, but when you have a chance to take home a jersey and can't, that stings a bit.
Bouglas did sprint too, but not with much attentiveness, and doesn't score despite the top 10.
Overall though, I obviously can't complain about this race. Guldhammer really carried us with 3rd on GC, a bunch of stage placings, and a stage win. He also still gets some points for wearing jerseys even though he didn't end up winning them. All in all, it was just what we hoped for, if not more. He's really been great this year. I just wish I didn't give him so many C1 racedays where the stakes are low.
Congrats to Fabianski on finally getting a little luck with the Reinhardt win! Maybe the tides will turn for him in the second half.
Thanks redordead for the awesome reports!
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

No shit. If actually try the game you know the type of rider that can be a leadout. It's not PCM15 anymore, can't just stack 77 -> 79 -> 81spr riders in a leadout anymore

Worth noting that this seems like one of the stages that was not edited for the finish to be as wide and straight as possible?

As expected, Pluchkin crushed entire competition and add another well deserved win into his palmares. Congrats fjhoekie!
For my team it has been wonderful week of racing. 2nd overall, stage win nad white jersey is more I could hope for.
Thanks for excellent reporting!

First of all, apologies to red for my not very productive outburst. Just sucks to see Nairo underperform again and again. Not being able to keep up with similarly strong and slightly weaker climbers despite having the best possible support just sucks, though. Period.
However, it seems to have had an effect on the team. Nairo's 3rd place in the MTT actually showed what he really is capable of on uphill roads - no clue why he couldn't show it the day before. And Reinhardt finally, finally getting his first win of the year is nice to see as well.
Finally, it looks to be a pretty satisfying race in terms of points - but that's also the easiest sponsor goal of the season missed. Which might explain part of the frustration, with the repeated no-shows definitely playing into this as well.
Congrats once again to Pluchking, still no way to beat him in those races.
