Would have really hoped to see atleast one of my 4 77-78 TT'ers breaking into a solid result, f.e. 7th or so. But atleast we didn't mess up in any sort of way. There was hardly any upsets.
Farantakis defended himself surprisingly well here. It would have been interesting to see what could have been if the race was giving bonus seconds for top 10 spots. He would obviously still need to perform better, but he could pick up some points to get a top 30 GC.

Same as SotD, some nice depth scoring but as hoping for one of the guys to get a stellar result.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Fine ride against the clock for Bjerg. Fourth or fifth in the GC will be a good result.

3 in the top 30 means that we should have some GC scoring at the end of the race tomorrow, but nothing special. Still something around 40 points would absolutely be appreciated.
No surprises from Dunbar and a phenomenal ride. Congrats!

Great stuff from Howson. Got what we were hoping for. Would've hoped for a couple of positions better from Cataford but can't complain too much. At least right now. Hoping for no funny business on the stage.
Congrats to Eden and thanks for the report kb

Good to see Dunbar deliver - nothing is ever a given in PCM land. Strong ride and a good gap to the rest of the field is an amazing result and not to be taken for granted. Hopefully we can control things well enough tomorrow and a break doesn’t get away and take the GC or something stupid - you never know!
Good to see Durb and Howson on the podium too.
Thanks for the report!

Another absolutely dreadful performance from Farantakis to close the race in 20th.
Thank god for the depth of our team, as Farantakis has been easily outscored by Koumpetsos (76SPR) in the past month.
We end up with a very solid scoring regardless due to said depth quality though. But it is beginning to be a little bit worrying that our leaders won't score. Ioannidis is quickly closing the gap to Farantakis which definately wasn't planned prior to the season as I expected Farantakis to score more that double what Ioannidis did.
Thanks for the reports, and congrats with the win to Dunbar! He was always going to be the man to beat here.

Congrats Indosat! Bonifazio with a season low performance makes us lose even more PPRD compared to the division winners above 
Thanks for the reports KB!

Ahlstrand with another good sprint. Very decent race for him. Happy Bjerg won the tiebreak for fourth, a great race when we were looking quite down.
Thanks for the reports kandesbunzler and congrats Eden!

Decent race from Durbridge. If he keeps this pace up it will have been more than worth it to get him on the team. Congrats to Eden and thanks for the report.
