Difficult to say that 4th in GC is hugely disappointing.
The only mention of Vansevenant all race was positioning mentions. He did not go for a single attack all race, which os not ideal as he should have been able to fight for any hill stage if trying.
4th in GC obviously okay, despite hope was to reach more. But the lack of stage points makes an important race really subpar and in a tough year, missing out on Vansevenant scoring is not ideal.
Pidcock likely the same here, while it's cool to see Evenepoel performing great, which is a great trio of new all-rounders.
Congrats to all winners and thanks for the reports, which were still a great read despite missing my team's activity.
Super fun read and another big points total toward the King Power title run! Always love these types of stages, especially fun to see them be as selective as they were.
Not the smartest racing by Schmid to do the same mistake twice in a row, but 3rd on the final stage is a good result no matter how he got it. I was hoping for a little bit more, Top 5 would have been great, but nto complaining at all. A stage win, 3rd place, some more Top 10s, Top 10 + Top 15 GC, good rankings in points + KoM - definitely a nice wildcard race for us
Big congrats to Bikex, really a huge race for you.
I'm here as a stage 1 Chun Wing Leung fan and nothing else! Don't know what it is about that guy, but he's a star!
Very happy that he could deliver for his fans
What an amazing race for us. Starting with the 1-2 in the prologue, we beat SKA already for the second time this year. Especially though I'm very happy that Gidich finally could win a race like this and fulfil his favourite status. And finally we also won a sprint stage for the first time in a few seasons. Great job by Contreras in stage 5. In the past we really struggled to turn our quality into victories. It's great that this season sets off differently. Thanks for all the congrats and the great reports Abhishek!
