It also looks like it might be a big scoring race for Caspi with Simba having a few in the top 25.
This aged like milk 
Congrats on the result from Faglum Karlsson though. 1 second is unlucky, but overall I think you can be happy with the race 
Apologies if the jinx was put on, I was hoping you'd get some good scoring this race 
But yes, definitely pleased so far, let's see if the last stage has anything to throw into the mix.

Elosegui's lackluster season continues...

Maybe not the best MTT for Reis, but if it leads to fifth in the GC it's one of his better races of the season

Yeh just about what I expected from the MTT. Didn't really have any big stand out riders for that stage.
Congrats to the winner and thanks for the report!

Really pleased with an unexpected top 5 from Rogora and then Chavanne with a strong sprint in the bunch to wrap up 2nd in the green jersey standings and some more minor points for us. Really good race for us considering we basically sent Chavanne + kids. Congrats KB on the nailbiting GC win and thanks Alex for yet more great reports!

The curse was almost certainly self‑cast

We end on a low with Sanikwathi fluking the sprint again. 17th on the stage, 11th from the bunch.
On the plus side, we did manage to score a few points throughout the race, so it can't be considered a failure, even though we could have scored much more with a bit of luck.
Thanks for the reports, Alex

First of all thanks to alex for another set of great reports! As others have mentioned above you're really contributing much this season and that's highly appreciated!
Also congrats to Djorzen for another win this season! I know rookie seasons can be somewhat hard, but at least your guys are getting you the occasional highlight and that's always great for motivation.
And finally: 
It's been a great race all along, not only because of the obvious GC win from Ranaweera and the stage win from Rajovic, but also Garibian and Vauquelin taking the 1-2 in U25 and quite some points from all the classifications on top. I surely thought we could snatch a podium here and even had a thought or two about maybe even winning, but actually achieving this is just great!

Shame Kalaba got denied a chance at a stage result. Overall can't be unhappy how the race turned out, fifth for Reis is a fine bit of points.
Thanks for the reports alex and congrats kb!
