Shame we lost that podium, however this race should still give us decent enough points.

Thanks for the race. Bar some break moves, this race had nothing in store for us in the re-run. Will the PCT ranking be posted today?

Horrible stage for us, thanks for the reports though roturn, and of course croatia for the first 2!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Well that was one terrible race in general for us. Not a single breakway from our team is quite bad as well. Thanks for the reports.

Great result from Aker, which isn't too good in terms of catching up in the PT, but still well deserved.
Several PT teams got away with some nice points from this race, also Gazelle taking a stagewin, BPost and Becherovka gaining som KOM points while Pendleton's and more get points from respectable GC positions.
I'm sad that we couldn't get any of these races as it's definately easier to get a good result from hilly races than it is from sprints, climbs or TT's.

Dyrnes with a sick race
congrats to ember and of course to dev as well
Too bad that the gap weren't enough to bring Lulu higher up in GC.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Really needet result this, what a race this was for us
Slagter here definetely was worth it aswell, first good race of the season for him, no doubt Bilbao would have struggled without him. 1-7 in GC + team is a sick result. Thanks for good reports roturn! gratz ember for the stage and the great race for dyrnes, important race for the podium fight this!
Hopefully Slagter can continue this form now.

Wow, that's another sensational stage result by Dyrnes. Super happy and very surprised by that!
He has been outstanding the whole season, making a lot of his opportunities, also in the PT. Second place overall here must still be his best result, especially the way it came, simply being stronger than most instead of being lucky with a breakaway or something.
Big congratulations to dev4ever on the overall win. Add Slagter's 7th place and a dominant win in the team rankings, and it has been an amazing race for them as well.
Thank you for the reports, roturn! |

Congrats dev, nice to see Bilbao take this! And great stuff to everyone who performed well here, glad the rerun wasn't a problem for too many, in the end.
Thanks for saving the day roturn, and Croatia too!

Congrats dev! Shame Monfort was only strong in stage 1, but still we leave this tour with a good feeling.
Thanks for the reports Croatia and roturn!

Very enjoyable race. It's obviously a shame the early bummer but it's astonishing how quickly roturn got up to get the race up and ready for reading. Huge thanks (and sorry for not being able to keep active throughout).
We come out of it with a smile. Borges got us a pretty respectable result with both a stage victory and a safe top10. A very solid performance tbh.
The podium of this race is certainly a huge surprise though! Hilly races are generally very unpredictable, but having both a PT rider and an asian in front of all the top dogs is an interesting sight. Congratulations dev, brilliant!

Congrats Dev! Put on a masterclass. Very happy with a podium, albeit dropping down to third. Dyrnes though, holy crap.
This gets us out of the relegation area and hopefully from here we can settle nicely in the top 20 in the rankings.
Thanks for the original reports croatia, it's a shame we never got to see the reports that you had ready. And thanks too roturn for the crazy effort getting this sorted and finished so quickly.

Very nice last 2 stages a win and second place makes up for a lot, a shame not to achieve our goal though, LLS would've won without the collapse on stage 2.
Congrats Dev on the big win and thanks a lot Roturn for the super fast reports! Thanks Croatia as well for the reports we didn't get to see.

Think we maybe got some points here? At least a couple, not as many as we probably needed to find to get us out of drop danger though.
