Nice results by Reus for us to finish with a top 15 finishing
Great rides by Costa to win the race, and great reporting! |

Good work by Lane and Zardini, 8th and KOM would be a very satisfying harvest.
What's missing is stage result. Last one is about being in the break or in the chase for a bunch sprint... Aregger should be a sprinter with better legs after the days of suffering.
Costa like a (Hugo) Boss! Amazing performance by the Portoguese and his team.

Soler and Rodas are highly underperforming here. Lazy bums...  |

Congrats to Hugo Boss, Costa killing it it seems.
I would love a rankings update just to confirm that i'm currently sitting in last position if possible. There's no way anyone could be doing any worse.

Two big hilly days left and Froome bot needs to get himself charged up so to speak. Stage 6 looks the classic all on last climb push possibly a bit of MO in there?
He's got 79 TT, 2nd highest (tied) in the race... 
But as for the last two stages, very meh.

I had hoped for a stage win from this race, but didn't get close. Ben Nasser was always up there, just didn't have that extra bit - can't blame him for that. Reinie had a good TT too which added to some top 10s from Nasser. Redecker showed some promise with a decent result too. I'm happy with a 7th place overall from Ben Nasser considering there was a prologue and TT.

Not the first time we've lost out on a good sprint result thanks to the break but good to see Sobota sprinting well at least.
Thanks for the reports Roturn

I swear we always go into the breakaway in this stage... 4th and GC top 20 is enough |

Yes! The last stages concludes a brilliant race for us.
This concludes a brilliant race for us; 1st gc, 3rd Points, 2nd KoM, 2nd team, 4th youth and 1 stage + another podium and 2 top 5, couldnt be happier with the result! Off to a strong season start
Great to see Costa deliver here, but I dont think he will be as succesfull in remaigning part of the season though.
Cheers for reporting in the usual quality aswell.
Also a funfact: won a stage in every stage race so far, definetely something I couldnt dream of last year.

Just shy of 20 PPRD here but still a little disappointing - looked so much better after Stage 6. Hope Bibby underperforming was due to Bellis being favoured as leader, and Bellis finishing 5th continues our streak of top 15s (13th, 8th, 15th, 2nd, 3rd and 5th as our best rider in our races so far). Congrats to Hugo Boss, and thanks for fantastic reporting roturn! |

Congrats dev. Costa starts to deliver right from the get-go!
This was never going to be a good race for us, but the good thing is it's over! 
Thanks for another outstanding race report, roturn!

A very disappointing race overall for Caruso and Roy. No riders in the Top 25 but a few in the Top 50. The first 7 stages of the race were terrible but I'm happy with Armee taking a stage win in the final stage. Could do with more of those. Let's hope for better GC points in out next race.

Awesome to get much more than expected out of this! 1st, 2nd and 3rd in stages is definitely a lot more than we came here for!
Congrats dev!

Very nice victory, dev.
For us, the start was perfect with Richeze winning, but after that it went way too quiet. Bit sad about that.. |

Late on in the transfer window we were pretty close to getting Costa, couldn't get him. Instead we got Mehr-Wenige! Oh, boy.
What can we say Hugo Boss - bossing it!
Second HC race in a row with a 6th place for us, more than we expected. A result I put down entirely down to the good vibes coming from Croatia!
Good. Good. |

Another great race reported by roturn. that pace <3

Amazing race for my bulls. Vinther with a couple of strong sprints, Paillot solid though a bit sub-par and then the extraordidairy greatness that is Vastaranta! Points Jersey a nice bonus in the end.

Actually, as it turns out, I did bet on him. Yippie!
