Wow! As written previously, Novak does things to compensate for his lack of GC results, and this definitely was one of those! Thrilled to claim the stage and also secure a likely 2nd place in the KoM jersey and a top 5 in the points jersey. He executed that perfectly, that’s a great way to end this tour for us, eventhough the TT is left.
Thank you again for the report, jt!  |

Congrats ember! Great ride from Novak.
I'm not entirely happy with McNulty yet but he should be able to make up ground to the riders in front of him in GC in the final TT.
Definitely cool to see Chaiyasombat leading the peloton in a stage like this! |

Meintjes taking time on us each stage is not what I expected. Good to see Novak rebound though!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Wow! Spectacular riding by Meintjes again. To think that it would've been a second stage win if not the breakaway is wild, but I sure as hell won't complain, given what we've done here The final TT is a bit hard to gauge, but the GC podium should be safe I think, and 2nd overall is also in the cards. That on its own is phenomenal, and then we add a decent position in the points classification for Louis, likely Top 40 results from Ndayisenga and Uwizeyimana, and potentially another Top 50 for Teuns. Looks like even Lennart Van Eetvelt will score a point from the U25 rankings. Remarkable stuff, especially given that I, too, didn't expect Louis to take time on Oomen multiple times, let alone Kudus.
Thank you once more for the nice report jt, and congrats ember for a really cool win for Novak!

Too bad my team messed up by just sitting up early. Otherwise it could have been a decent race for us.

Vosekalns did what I asked, but it did not yield anything tangible unfortunately

Wow, great ride by Cort after an anonymous race for us before this stage. Got a bit lucky with how big of a gap the break got, but he also looked very strong and gave it a really good go. No shame in losing to Novak, who's been such a stellar rider this season - congrats to Aker and ember on the stage win!
2nd place on the stage and all the way up to 6th in GC is great, great news. I expect him to drop a few places tomorrow, but hopefully he has the energy left to hold onto a top 10 in GC.
Immense race by Bernal so far, again.
Thanks for the report, jt!

Another lowkey performance from Rodrigues. Really needed a bit more. Great stage nonetheless, congrats on the win ember!

What a class win by Bernal!  He wins it by as much as it is from McNulty and all the way down to Stüssi in 10th, which says a lot about his ride, I'd say. Congratulations on a massive race, beagle!
Novak saved the race for us yesterdays with his stage win. That was an epic win, and to have him defend 12th in GC today is a bonus. 2nd in the KoM standings and 4th in the points also adds a little, which is good. In total the race is kind of a miss points wise, as I definitely hoped for a great GC here, but the racing he gave us after his big time loss, sort of makes up for it, at least entertaining wise!
Thank you for the reports, jt!  |

Congrats to Beagle for the masterclass on how to win a stage race. I can't be very happy with 5th, but it's hard to say we deserved more. Thanks for the nice reports JT!

Congrats beagle with another win! We're more than happy with a stage win and the minor GC points from Quintana and Calmejane.
Thanks JT for the reports!

All of that came to fruition and we even managed to keep 4th place in the team standings for another handful of points, which I didn't really expect. Stellar, stellar performance from the entire team.
Congrats beagle on the win, Bernal indeed didn't need that one odd breakaway win, but it sure makes the result even more impressive And thank you again for the nice reports jt

Congrats beagle, what an insane race from Bernal.
What a poor race for my team. Only an insane TdF will possibly save me from relegation.

Solid TT by Cort. A bit unlucky to fall just behind a couple of guys in the GC, but 9th is pretty good and above expectations.
Congrats to beagle on a great race from Bernal!

McNulty iwth the expected 2nd place in the final TT is unfortunately not good enough to get us more than another 4th GC.
Thanks for the very nice reports, jt and congrats beagle on another very convincing victory! |

Thanks for congratulations.
When I saw start list, I didn´t believe Bernal can complete three censecutive wins here. His TT superoirity couldn´t equal +3 MO advantage of Kudus by no means. Man, I was completely wrong! Insane performances in all crucial stages (especially in stage 4) lead to unexpected dominant win, which I´m really proud of
Thanks for great reporting jt!
