There's no stopping Dunbar it seems, congrats Eden!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Extremely dissapointed by Holst Enger in the first two stages, and then Belevics on stage 3 didn't do much better to be fair.
Now, let's hope the luck turns and we can get some GC points on sour home soil instead  |

Great stage for us. Too bad Spanopoulos dropped time on that easy stage 1, or he would have also been in top 15. Kiriakidis among those losing time today was obviously not ideal, but it’s hard to complain with this many guys up front.
Let’s hope for then to keep there after tomorrow. We could need that after a couple of bad races. Will be interesting also to see if Koumpetsos Will like the final stage.

Tough for Enger on s2 again - sucks to see him screwed again.
Dunbar with a perfect TT! Just what we like to see so good to see him doing well after his off season training.
Thank you for the lovely reports!

Good try from De Plus and Potocki hanging on nicely.

Good to see Ludvigsson in the break, and Vangstad hanging on to group 2, meaning a top 15GC is within reach. But we need quite a lot more points than than if we're to survive PCT.
Starting to look dangerous 
Thank you Ulrich, great report! |

Luckily I'm still on a good mood from South Africa because this race is not it

Good backup by Dunbar to keep the lead in tact here - 5th is more than ok. Still very slim margins heading into the last day, Canty and Yudha the MVP’s doing the work and making sure Dunbar is safe. Canty especially having a wonderful season so far, glad we brought him on board.
Thanks for the report!

We should have been in that break. Kalaba did all he could but from that position one final chance to save something was gone. Congrats to our former loanee Perez!
Thanks Abhi and UU for the reports and congrats cunego!

Horrible stage for us, but at least we're not the manager of Dunbar. Congrats Bralirwa, maybe this is the luck they were missing the past few years? Massive thanks for the great reports as well!

Very unprofessional final stage from our team, throwing away a huge Chunk of points for no reason what so ever.

It has been fun to ride on home soil, but result wise it has been sub par and really not good enough. Sondre Holst Enger showing he can win a mass sprint today is not really helping
Thank you Abhishkek and Ulrich for the reports and congrats to Cunego for the win! |

What the fuck even is this game? Jesus Christ. Couldn’t care less about not taking the GC, but it being due to game shenanigans again is so frustrating.
Congrats Cunego.

Wow, did not expect that after stage 4. Wow.
We'll take that and run.
Thank you for the great reports and like Eden95 said, Congrats Cunego!

Commiserations to Eden and congrats to cunego on the surprise win. Thanks to Ulrich and Abhi for the race, very fun to follow even if we weren't doing much. Walking away with the KoM is a nice prize.

We thought that this would be a hard race to predict for our fortunes, but we were never considering the break to be one of the reasons for it! Cataford did well for 7th, but with Howson not doing much, it was a lesser return than we hoped for. Kuli, Hayter and MVD added some minor points, which is always welcome.
Congrats to cunego and thanks for the reports Ulrich

Pretty got what we wanted from this with our secondary riders Daniel and Cabrera doing their jobs well and scoring lower GC positions in 10th and 13th, oops make that 12th and 16th.
Congrats to Cunego on the win.

Congrats to Cunego for the win and thanks to UU for the reports.
Kraftwerk did a great TTT ride but didn't capitalise with Masnada finishing in 9th and Ludvigsson in 22nd. Need to do a bit better guys.
