Well, that disaster is finally done. 0 points, awful. Bloody game.
And looking what's happening to my team in Oman, I'm going to pray that Mallorca is a race where Cabrera shines in those flat stages. That means, please, let there be no top sprinters there. |

Cyril you berk. I wanted a top 5 on every stage!  
Between 38 and 40 pprd though, so I can't complain. Great reporting Admir, thanks  |

Well Boeing were absolutely completely invisible. Still it wasn't as bad as i expected in a race that doesn't really suit or matter to the team. Picked up plenty of good and cheap wine though!

A bad stage for my team, McEvoy loses 5 positions and exits the top10.
In the end I got 79 points which gives me 13.16 PpRD is not quite what I wanted but it's still not too bad if I take into account what some teams got in this race
Thanks for the reports admirschleck and congrats FroomeDog99

Wow, we got the points jersey as well! Goal achieved, first stage race victory and load of points. Absolutely brilliant race for us, making up for our bad start so far.
Thanks do he reports admir, but I don think your U25 rankings are correct as fir example Bellis is born in '88. I think you need to correct this for the stage leaders and final rankings for that classification. |

Nice, Monfort! Smart, strong ride and winning that third place sprint means he finishes top 5 in GC. Also good stage by Weening, launching him into 12th place GC. Oss finishing in peloton was to be expected, so his 14th GC place is still pretty good. This combined means we also grab the teams classification.
A good tour for Gazelle! The AI gods were in our favour.
Congrats to Kenya! Ben Nasser is a deserved winner. And thanks to admir for the reports.

Bobridge suffered a bit in the end, but 4th place plus some good stages is fine. Had hoped for a top-5 and he made it. Too bad we missed the points and U25-ranks, but overall Oz did well.

The Boonrat strikes . I knew that crazy Thai rider could do something, heh. Vastaranta misses out on a top 10 so that is somewhat disapointing, but the stage win makes up for it.
Thanks for the reports admir.

2nd in the team Classification and 6th and 7th in the GC, I suppose I will take that. Would have hoped for a bit better results on the individual stages though.
And thanks a lot for the reports Admir. It was nice to have at least one report to read each day.

5 points. that should be Metinvest total for this seven stages long race. 
If somebody wonderes why so low, ask the riders, because i dont know. Pakthusov with 75hill was best in the last stage, where he was around 30th place, after finishing majority of all stages behind 80th place, but that was still better than rest of our team bar Hoffman. He at least grabbed 5th and 8th places in sprints, which is very lame, considering he should be one of the best sprinters here with nationality bonus.
That would all be okay, if there wasnt 0 number of attacks during seven stages. Yep, 0, there was not a single Metinvest rider bar Hoffman in the screenshot, i only see them in results.
That aside, reports were fantastic and deserved win for Ben Nasser and african team, big congrats!
And my condolences to Jaguar, Allianz or Mobil, who were hindered by throw of the dice like we were.

I had the same as you Avin, clearly the PCM13 AI does things differently from what I had expected. Or the fields are so strong that there simply is no room for more riders. Still would have been nice to see one of mine in a break.

Not bad from Bellis in the last stage just that one drop of Concentration in stage 4 has cost us but still nice to actually get on the board points wise 119 to be exact
Also as stated before Bellis isn't eligible for the under 25 classification. |

I'll change it today, you don't have to worry. I guess it's just PCM being drunk, once again.
Thanks everyone!

Pretty disappointing race for us. Wish we were represented in more breaks seeing as it was our home tour. Hategeka at least finished 10th (although I hoped he'd be more like 7th). Not many points for us...
Congrats to FroomeDog! Awesome race for Kenya Airways and Ben Nasser
