Yeah you did it justice Count, very helpful to post reminders of GC along the way brings a TT like that too life.
It seems to be the year of Kritskiy and Oleg's patient training is now paying off on him. I notice Kiezer floundering down in 10th, could be back to the drawing board for VW again!

Brilliant reporting all the way, CountArach 
Kritskiy is really on fire, and he looks to lead Tinkoff and Oleg to promotion, eventhough it's extremely early to say.
Anyway, congratulations on the win! |

Well I suppose 15th isn't that horrible since I wasn't expecting to do that well here. Still would have liked to hold on to a bit more time in the TT.

Top 5 is nice, would be happy to see Oleg and his Russians in the PT next season, would make it easier for me to promote next year. And like everyone has said so far, thanks for the fantastic reports CA really enjoyed all of them.

Awesome reporting Count, it was really nice to follow this race. I'm incredibly happy to see Devolder with a very good 8th place at the end, I though that 12th/13th was the best I could expect, so those points are quite important for us.

He should overtake Stetina and might also pass Gadret with some luck, but he will still most likely get crushed by Nicacio, Plaza and Keizer. I'm guessing he'll end up in 12th, but fingers crossed for better.
Called it! 
Not a race I'll look back at positively.

Pelli, so far a race for you without Efimkin, is almost literally bad. |

Top50!! Go Francisco and Edwin! and everyone finished, and no-one was last!
Combined with Will on Stage 2, and Chicchi's podium this race has been a spectacular success!
Also congrats to Oleg etc. etc.
Hopefully Boeing will be back for more .HC races next season, so prepare

It was far more interesting to read about this TT than watch a real one.
Given Pozzo's seeming form on most of these stages, got to be a bit down that 'only' managed 4th. Kritskiy a lucky winner - Pozzo and Rein should never have let him back on when they got rid of him a few stages back. |

What a nice race. Captivating reports, accordingly interesting mountain stages and suspense till the end. Congrats Oleg, this seems to be your team's year.
Looking back at the off-season I'm glad I decided not to bring a team solely focused on Plaza. Nicácio and the sprinters sure did their part here. Too bad my leader wasn't on form, but I feel lucky comparing my team's performance with VW's, though.

First mention has to go to incredible level of reports, you did amazing job Count with all stages, this was the most favourite stage race so far this year. Also the AI in mountains was good.
Popovych was not very good in TT, but he hunged on that 3rd place, that is what matters. Podium is great, as two first riders are probably unbeatable. Great week for our team in Canada was completed by strong home rider Hesjedal and his 18th in GC + 2nd place finish for Brambilla in the stage. Nice point haul there for our team.
Kritskiy is the monster and he has to have some hidden stat or biggest luck whole season, as there is no justification in his stats for beating Taramae night in and night out. Congrats Oleg, your team is strong and heading to PT for sure.
