Congrats fintas, good ride from your boy.
Arifin did so well to finish 7th after being in the break, so glad one of him and Rohendi managed to get in the break again. A shame to see Padun so far down, it definitely has not been his year.
Thanks for the report!

Happy to see a strong showing from Mas after not looking too flash in the opening stages. Pity he ended up a bit behind the race as he seemed to be really on it today!
Thanks for the action-packed reports so far

Terrible stage for Kraftwerk, might be good news for Zabel's chances?

Guess he read that and absolutely wanted to confirm my assessment. To see him be destroyed by the likes of Roman, Arifin or Zimmermann - despite the stage having basically just long climbs and the lack of punch not really mattering - is just really disappointing. I was hoping for some breakaway attempts, and he indeed did follow this plan, but he was just bad. He did better in such races as a lvl 3 rider than he does now...
Congrats to Binance, thanks to UU for the report.

Huge off day for Monsalve. Sad to see him drop so hard after that great stage win the other day. We’ll go into stage hunting mode for the last two stages. Crossing my fingers we can get another result

Sad to see Areruya like that, one part off day one part just not quite there in the mountains at the end of the day and both issues compounding each other. Tomorrow should suit him more, would go down as a solid race if we can get either a stage win or a few places higher on GC

Slightly disappointing because Guldhammer should be better on that type of finish, and the team worked all day, but ultimately it's good that he had his bad day when the gaps were small. Tied for 4th is a good GC result, with Gregaard in 16th too.

So so close for Penasa there. Second place would've got us the win. But barring any catastrophe on the last stage, this result will be huge for us. Hoping Minali can continue his sprinting legs but might be tough given the climbing he had to endure.
Congrats to WJ and thanks for the report Ulrich

Looks like the riders are ready for this season to end.

Only now getting around to commenting. I'm happy with Madrazo's performance overall, 3rd in the GC is not at the highest end of potential outcomes but I had feared much worse. Some really inconsistent racing from some of our opponents helped us out, commiserations especially to Padun, no idea what happened there. And congrats to Strava and Philips, great results for Sicard and Penasa!
It was also fun to see El Sabbahi competing in the sprints, even if only for lower Top 10 results. Maybe he can finish on a high note on the final stage.

Lemus Davila finishes in a GC points position. That's all we could get

Damn that flat tire. Not that it still matters, but when things go bad, they can go bad really fast.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Even with this stage win Elissonde's GC result is horrendous, but cannot be unhappy with a stage win. Thanks for the report!

I stand corrected: He's completely useless. Not even trying the least thing, he's become such a painful rider to follow.

AKA found himself a bit too far back there,w hichs ucks cause it seemed like he had great speed.
But ultimately this was a fantastic race for us. AKA gets a stage and the points jersey from his consistency. Guldhammer is 4th was really solid, and Gregaard in 16th gives a bit of depth. Not to mention our team classification victory thanks to Eg and Aranburu trading bad days. That's a great haul of points for the team we brought. Hopefully it's enough for the promotion race.
Thanks for the reports!

We messed up completely with our sprint train. Good that Manfredi raked in the KOM jersey

Zariff took a day off to finish out what was a very average race for us.
Thanks for the reports and congrats to the winners.

Came here with the hope of a Top 10 in the GC and some stage points via Minali in the sprints. Leaving here with 2ND in the GC, a stage win, a stage second and more via classifications makes this a great race for us.
Penasa shows once again just how good a buy he was for us last season, in what is probably his last race in our colours. 2nd place from him is a fantastic result and he even tried to take the whole thing on Stage 5. It wasn't to be but we don't think there could've been a much better ending to the season and his stint with us than this! Minali also did well enough.
Congrats to Shonak on the win and thanks for the great reports Ulrich
