We didn't come to the Giro with lofty goals. We knew it's not our strongest lineup, but failing to meet even our modest expectations was a bitter pill to swallow. We weren't good enough and as such we will need to deal with the fallout of this result.

Really disappointing result. It was weird to see that Tao was often dropped early. For me, he was a Top 5 contender with this startlist, as I consider him a clearly better rider than Stüssi (who missed out on Top 5 by 20" or so).
Hopefully he'll bounce back later in the year and prove his worth once again

His season is close to over so a bounce back is pretty much impossible.
A familiar sight as Ivan Siric sprints behind the race winner yet again
Martin Hvastija:
We had a good strategy to put Salby in the early breakaway. Ivan tested his legs with an attack in the last 30 km, but he made the right decision of following the wheels. It was a decent sized group sprint, but this time he showed the kind of sprint he can do at the end of a race.

The Giro was quite disappointing with the early spark fizzling out very quickly. Siric has been having a great season and delivered again in Roma-Maxima.
Katrasnik attacking on his way to a 2nd place finish
Martin Hvastija:
A rouleur focused strategy spearheaded by Katrasnik paid off here. I have to commend the lads on how they stayed on their toes as the race unwrapped. It was good teamwork to put Gasper in position to make his attack. Regardless of the result this was a good performance.
