Congratulations to Bushwackers with the win, and more unexpected to fintas and matt with the podiums.

magnificent race for my team in terms of points is without doubt our best race ever +300 points and + 40pprd.
Nazaret with a huge result especially if we take into account that it has only 65 of TT and that in this race we have more than 25km of this specialty. Marquez also with a solid performance finished in the top 10, the biggest surprise is even chiarello who made a very solid but brilliant race finished in 10th place. A word of appreciation also for Bartl. In short the whole team was brilliant in this race.
Of the initial objectives we just can not achieve the desired victory, but the two second places and the final result make us forget that goal completely.
Congrats to Amador and UBS for this more than deserved victory...
And tsmoha What a big work you've done in this race

Thanks for the congrats. Huge thanks to tsmoha for this race and preview, it has been one of the most enjoyable and well done races yet.
Final congrats to Matt on the TTT win, well done but I think there is a serious problem with the way this pcm edition handles these races with leaders getting dropped.

What a time trial by Eritel there! Did not expect such a good result, although looking through the stats now, it's clear that we did have the 3rd best TTT team in the field. Securing the Top 5 target for Kudus is an added bonus, and an excellent recovery from the Stage 4 flop. Good rescue from the team as well - Teklehaimanot ought to have been higher in GC too.
Was always important to score well in HC races like these, to keep the rankings ticking off, and we should have managed that now. Still waiting on that elusive victory though!
Thanks for the reporting tsmoha, and congrats to Bushwackers for Amador's consistent ride to victory. Surprising to see Roglic lose a space today, but he already overperformed on the climbs.

Oh f*ck off PCM. Our TTT team is decent with 78-75-75-73, but we f*cking finish last, 24 seconds off second-last and 1'30 off the winner????? And on top of that Úran drops to seventh where he should've podiumed. Well, see you in CT next season! Was nice will it lasted.
--Rant over, but it might take a while before the anger cools down
TTT team needs more than 4 riders though! 5th best rider as 57 TT is surely your problem.

In the end just how I expected it to finish. Very happy with 4th and the U25!
Great reports tsmoha and congrats to UBS

Well we came here hoping to do a little better overall, but should be somewhere a little over a 100 point race for us which will work nicely down at the CT level. Certainly more than we could have got spending the days on some flat stage race.
Excited to see some of you all again later on in Colombia!
And absolutely amazing reports! Fantastically done.

Oh, I didn't know that, thought at least one of them was mid-60's. I'll put partial blame towards my scheduling decisions then but still, PCM should've done better.

Nothing race yet again for the Haute Route team. Our second string climbers clearly not good enough to stay with the big guns and prove themselves as something more than domestiques.
Good to see some trains being formed for Keukeleire and we got some consistent top 10 finishes from them.
Thanks tsmoha for the reports! Amazing graphics
