Really should have believed into my riders a whole lot more after the awful stage 4.
Olivier with his 2nd Top10 GC this year. Now even in a race I did not expect it at all. Now also in a HC race!
Álso I like the face that Olivier is outperforming Aru. Great feel for a self developed talent over a maxxed rider with similar stats.
Thanks for those reports once more tsmoha. You made me a happy manager in the end. |

Bibby's performances just make no sense. This TT is surely perfect for him, and he is nowhere. How is that even possible?
Fantastic 5th overall for Teklehaimanot and 13th for Berhane makes it a fine race for Eritrea.
LLS, Gazelle and Kenya Airways are really on fire this season though, so congrats to them, and thanks to tsmoha for the reports.

So happy right now. LLS dominant as few other riders all season long. He outperformed every expectation and makes me even dream of back-to-back promotions ( although I won't admit it already. Oh wait  )
Siskevicius also with a great performance in the final TT. Only a very small detail but I still like to see such things.
Very curious for the next ranking update now. Surely looks at least equally good as the last one 
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

LLZ is unstopable. Congrats Evonik

Nerz behind Arndt. In a TT. Arndt has 57 TT.
Seriously, if this fucker demands any more than what he gets this season, regardless of the +2 mo, he's out. What a clusterfuck of a season. Perform or GTFO.
Thank God this race is over. Never talk about it again. I don't know what's next, nor do I care, but I know it can't be worse.
Thanks tsmoha. Not your fault.

Only 10th in the GC makes me feel slightly sad inside Obviously a great GC result for Tvetcov in this competition, being his first race of the season?
Some good stage results to go along with that as well means this race may just compensate for the no show in South Africa
Thanks to tsmoha for the reports!

Three decent stage results - 6th, 5th, 7th - and nothing more is a little disappointing with the strength of team I sent here. Hope for better in our other HC races. Thanks for the reports tsmoha |

Good race, with no real surprising aspects other than Valls winning that stage
Poljanski hopefully did something not seen in the reports, cause otherwise I'm not impressed

Better race for us then I had hoped for, stage win, win points Jersey, some other good stage results and some guys collect points in GC.
Thanks for the reports! |

What a performance from Kwiatkowski again, really happy with 3rd after a bad hilly stage. Thought he wouldn't lose much time due to his hill stat but never expected a 4th place.
3rd overall, the White Jersey and a stage win makes this a great race for us.
Thanks for the reports tsmoha, and congrats Evonik. LLS is really having a great season. |

Just when you though Krasnoperov was doing well: 126 Mikayil Krasnoperov... Hmm...
Nepom good, shame he couldn't make up 2 more places to achieve our goal...

Very happy with Kangert's 2nd place! Partly due to bad luck he didn't have a great season so far, but this sure makes up for it. He was very sharp; avoided all splits and went with all the right attacks. Impressive.
Also impressive is LLS and Kwiatkowski scoring big again. Great riders both. Congrats!
Feel bad for Bibby. Is it possible that he was injured? In the mountain stage it could've been because of the AI favouring Berhane and Teklehaimanot, but in a TT it's every man for himself and that performance was pathetic for a rider of his calibre.

I wish my riders could have spent more time trying to get in the breaks and less time fighting each other for captaincy and to be the rider that somehow nets us a top 20, honestly if we are going to go down I'd rather we showed the jersey off in the process and made races entertaining rather than just going for lots of anonymous top 15's and top 20's that won't score us enough points.
oh well, onto the next disappointment, are we near November yet?

Thanks again, tsmoha for the nice reports!
Race unfolded not as planned, results are meh, but could be worse. Sad thing is that it seems to be we are treading water, but riders and staff haven't reached their full potential.
Gratz to Evonik. LLS and Contador are really the outstanding performers of the PCT-season so far.

Thanks for the reports TSM, and congrats to Evonik, Gazelle and Kenya on securing the podium slots. All three of these teams got of to a flying start of the season, but now we are getting towards mid-season and they keep piling in the big results.
For Nutresa, top 5 was the pre-race hope, so Talansky's 4th more than satisfies. A little disappointing to drop off of the podium on the last stage, as thought the yellow jersey might give a wee extra boost, but not to be - overall still a good outcome. Even better were the performances of Colombian NC Beltran throughout, definitely put a smile on my face with stage placings, competing across all fronts for points, KoM and young jersey, all coming together for a final 12th on GC. This being HC, pretty sure the overall points haul will be somewhat better than 20 PPRD which is most welcome given the recent run of low scoring that was beginning to fell less like a rut, and maybe just our place in things. Perhaps not - hope springs again .

Completely Random win for Boily in a TT there but he basically saves the race for us so very happy with that sorry for the lack of posts near the end of the race as I ended up at a real life race without signal |

Stage 1 was, well, to be honest, crap. As 2nd best prologueist Winden should've been better than 7th. Oh well, TTs have been about luck quite a bit this year and well we do not seem to have that.
Bodnar though 
Grabbing a 2nd place and the GC lead was cool, glad I sent Vingerling here.
When the terrain went up we had nothing to do basically, but well, Toribio 15th in that hilly TT isn't too bad.
In the end I guess it was not a bad race for us, not less than we could hope for.

Finally back home after a week of absence due to holidays, and so much happened during that week. This was one of the races to forget this seasonnothing that was intended eventually happened..
Thanks for the report and congrats to the winner

Stage 1: 5th by Robert, just why I signed him. Good start to a not-so-important race.
Stage 2: Drapac needs someone to teach him how to sprint. Badly.
Stage 3: Really, really badly.
Stages 4, 5 and 6: As expected, shit all. Didn't bring Marquez or McCarthy, so what could possibly have happened for us?
