Yes, Culey! Winning the KoM classification here is a big win in a race without any GC aspirations. The sprint was a bit weak by us this time. Coutinho has been very early to the front of our train throughout this race and this time it cost Abdul Halil a good position. Still, a 3rd and 2nd from the other stages is not bad results for him, and I'm hopeful he can grab his first win of the season in Tour of America where the sprinting field should be less deep.

Let's hope that the reason for my team not doing a shit is they plan to do really well on the ITT

Good to see Lammertink still being in a good GC spot. Hope he can do something in the final stage again and maybe get a top 5 finish? Or even a podium? Please let it be a good daily form in stage 5!

Amazing stuff by Coquard. He’s really holding up the team this season

Kalaba on the wrong train today. No bonus seconds at all so no repeat of last year either.
35 seconds to Coquard seems to much for Bjerg, but a podium is well within reach. Hoping for a repeat of form from the opening stage

Well 14th turned out to be the peak of Zhao's aspirations which isn't all that surprising. Nice to see Eeckhoff in the break. Looking like a zero pointer for us,
Coquard looking strong, congrats to Jakstar.
Good to have Alex on the reporting panel.

Ganjkhanlou never even attempted to sprint (oops), but Nyoni losing time hurts my soul.
Hopefully we can find a good result somewhere in the final stage!

Well thats so annoying. What should be a day of celebration for Howson is a bit of a let down.
Still. another win and first for Howson which is amazing! 3 stages, 2nd, 10th and 11th in GC and the green jersey. I can't complain at all but the fact Howson misses out by a second because Bjerg finished 6 seconds and not 7 seconds behind kind of sucks. Still excellent points which were very very needed!
Thanks for the reports and congrats to Bjerg on the GC win!

5th, 4th, 4th was at least decent consistency from Einhorn but we knew it wouldn't count for anything GC wise

Fairly poor from us in a win goal, though once Kemboi left that was always likely. Looks like more of a race for the TTers than the sprinters anyway, congrats to Jakstar and Marco and thanks Alex for the reports! |

Extremely disappointed with Vernon. Seemingly the perfect race for him and just completely flops. At least veteran Craddock picked up some of the slack.

A photo finish. Missing the podium by 1 sec is tough, but I will take rank 4 in the GC. Some good points for us!
Congrats to the Minions on a close win!
Thanks for the reports Alex!

Great way for us to end the race with Milan taking white and 7th in the GC. Along with the stage second from Van P earlier this actually makes this a solid race for us that won't hurt our PpRD too much!
Thanks for the report and congrats on the win to marco!
