Hopefully it's a fun race. For me I'm just looking if a couple of my riders can make the top 50.
Thanks for the preview

What a fantastic preview! I'd love to see MAL beat Herklotz, and then a miracle Top10 for Polanc for the complete plot twist

Thank you for the preview, Laurens!
Very unsure every year with this profile, if it favours the hybrids or the puncheurs. Fingers crossed we have covered both with Mohoric and Amezawa. Though, no top 10 last year isn’t a great sign. Really hope we can make our depth count, with Mohoric, Amezawa, Preidler and Gabburo all having the potential to score decent, depending on the race scenario.
Super excited for this. Good luck to Evonik and knockout, of course, as they must be seen as the big contender for the rankings win with MAL the obvious second top favourite. Really hope we can make ourselves worthy winners with solid results on our own, not needing to count on Evonik’s luck/bad luck for how it ends standings wise. |

Can't expect much here. We've brought all of our top climbers and puncheurs. Unless they do something miraculous I don't really care about their depth scoring, as it'll only drive up their renewals costs. Thanks for the great preview though, including the season palmares is a nice touch for the season finale.
One more thing to watch for—Christopher Juul-Jensen's last career race! Hope the GOAT can go out in style!

Absolutely! The flashback to hillyish races that brings a lot of points to one team due to the AI habit of great positioning before the sprint, makes me definitely not celebrate yet. Think Puma also has had a sensational Badaling one year due to that AI behaviour. If your team happens to be the team that gets such treatment here, I’m not safe. That scares me. A lot!  |

Hopefully a fun and attacking last day of the PT season! Borges and Mas both here so I almost expect Mas to do better in such a race but maybe Borges can have a last hurrah!
Thanks for an amazing preview and good luck to all

We have a top 10 goal here. So hopefully Davide can achieve that, while keeping us in the PT.

We've sent a strong team here. Obviously hoping for Lutsenko to end the year in style, but if that doesn't happen we can maybe still score well from depth.
Expecting an epic Herklotz vs MAL fight for the win.

We got the top ten needed to achieve our goal so thats fine.
Valter beating Lopez to overtake us in the ranking sucks. So 3rd it is. Fine i guess but looked like it could have been better at certain points of the season.
Congrats cio, congrats SN and most notably congrats ember!

What a roller coaster of a race that was. Very fitting for a season finale even though things seemed to be already settled both at the very bottom and the very top of the rankings.
So many attacks and we still end up with quite a big group for the sprint. Formolo looked to be on the edge of collapsing after the last round of attacks. Glad he recovered well enough for the sprint. Very happy with 5th. We survived another year.

Terrific end to the season for us depth wise. Didn't have a favorite, but 2 in the top 20 and 4 in the top 26 is a great monument result for us outside our comfort zone. Not that it really matters for us, but it's good to end the season on a positive note!
Thanks for the report!

What a race that was! Got frightened when Mohoric dropped far too early, but clearly it became a race more for the hybrids/climbers. And wow, how Amezawa stepped forward. Arguably the third best rider on the climbs, and holding on in the sprint for 6th place is a very, very good result for him in a monument. Very happy with that, definitely a stellar finish to our season.
Congratulations to cio. It got close, but Herklotz can’t stop delivering. Brilliant result, and the individual ranking win with it. Very well done, for another year by the German legend! |

Very entertaining race, thanks for the report WJ.
Congrats to Ember on the title win, pretty impressive considering Aker were in PCT a couple of years ago.

Well if ember was not celebrating yet then I suppose it's only right to congratulate him here - Amezawa has come up huge for you down the stretch of this season and did very well again here
Very entertaining race to end the season, thanks wj for bringing it to life! Tough one for MAL with the group being super cooperative and running out of steam. Congrats to cio and Herklotz though - not looking forward to racing against the other member of the 80/80 club anytime soon
