A race that had everything for the team, full of ups and downs ..
We did very good things like being able to win a stage clearly and take back time that we should never have lost..
In the end i'm pretty happy com o que conseguimos alcançar, one stage win, two stage podiuns, two in the gc top10, wins in the points and team classification and second in de KoM.
We definitely got a good amount of points in this race
Congrats to CrueTrue and a a big thanks forthe amazing reports tsmoha
7th i'm very happy with from Talansky. Fought back from a bad opening TTT to climb himself into a good result. Cracking adventure on Stage 5 over the mountains was great to see. Having never had a real Stage Race option before i was never really going to be dissapointed in the Talansky experiment, but he's really beating my hopes and proving his worth. Just what the team needed to keep us on track for a solid mid-table finish.
The only let down in the race was the lack of action from Yates or the youngsters. Had hoped to see a touch more from them as Talansky wasn't in a favorites position. But the Talansky result more than makes up for it overall
Sicard was always going to win here, I just didn't expect Kwiat to be so close behind.congrats Crue. Anonymous race for us, think we were mentioned once or twice but otherwise purely an XP race.
2nd awful race from Henao. Not even top 10. Has to improve drastically and soon.
Luckily Maillet was there to save us. Incredible ride from him. He deserved much more than 10th in GC and the KoM. All in all depth saved us points wise but had hoped for more.

Could have been better, could have been worse. At least we took the TTT and got some nice GC points for a couple days. It would have been nice to see Schelling shine in our home race though.
Congratulations to Crue, and thank you very much tsmoha for a great race.
Pretty much this, minus the TTT win
It went quite a bit better than anticipated after the TTT result and Roglic enormous time loss, but still quite a bit worse than I would have liked before the race. 8th is not that bad, but Roglic was always going to aim to something better. Oh well, onwards. It was nice to see Beukeboom snatch the leader jersey even for just one day, that kind of stuff gains you points.
