So it has finished. Always a special race for us and obviously a win goal, which wasn't accomplished by some freaky winner  Herklotz certainly deserves it though with quite a remarkable performance, consistent through the hilly stages and annihilating the gap in the mountain stage. So congratulations cio, and congratulations Shonak on that last victory! And obviously thank you very much roturn for bringing us this amazing event!

Gratz to Puma, Porto and Boss on the podium. Glad we got the last stage win, making it two. We have already lost two stage wins to the breakaway, a third would have been just too much and you would have heard me whining (more).. Too bad we missed out on the points jersey, which could have been tremendous for our promotion fight due to the break really. Alas, is what is, and Modolo's form definitely makes me hopeful for similiar stages in Britain. Thanks a lot for the great consistent reports, roturn,

Cerny did well in that last stage. We got a stage win out of it, which is more then we should've expected really. Thanks for the reports!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Wow, am I glad this is over. This race has been almost as bad as it could be. Kadri the only rider in the team who seemed to be bothered in any way at all about this race. Rodrigues decides he's not a GC rider while the rest of the team rides around in the pack. In the end, we joined 0 breaks here, despite not having an exceptionally strong team.

Congrats cio! Very nice Herklotz win.
Sadly we couldn't have much of an impact on this race after Monfort's injury. Better luck next time.

Congrats Cio!
This race and Austria destroy our hopes of a top 15 finish in the rankings, quite unimpressed with the team. Nevertheless thanks Roturn for the good reports throughout.

Funny thing was, when making the screenshots in the 3D race, it didn`t happen, but in the replay then, Nordhaug made the celebration as also one of your team mates in later position, Dyrnes or Nesset.
Not funny at all! |

An entertaining race. Unfortunately no stage glory for our team, but many good attempts.
A very good race for some of the PT teams here, will be interesting to see the impact that makes in the rankings.
Thanks for all the reports, roturn

Incredible.
363 points, that's basically a GT podium, or a PT stage race win with some stage success. It's still hard to grasp.
Together with Flèche Wallone, certainly our race of the season so far, and the most enjoyable as well.
Nothing compares to seeing your cute little youngsters growing up and maturing into race winners, even more so when it's Herklotz, whose German U23 champion jersey hangs on my bedroom wall.
A big thanks to roturn for excellent reporting, and a similarly big thanks to everyone congratulating us. I'm sorry if I caused any PCT teams to miss a goal or cost them vital ranking points in regards to promotion or relegation. If that happened, I'll offer you a free shot at steering into one of our riders in your next wildcard race

And nothing on the final stage, as expected. Still kinda frustrated to have missed winning our second ever GC, should honestly have been ours here, but PCM is PCM, and it decided otherwise.

Well, was a bad race for us, though it had a few bright spots (Aregger stage podium, Lanes efford in the mountains, Zardinis overall performance, despite the crash costing him 13 minutes to the best). That it always can be worse we got proven in Austria, right now.
Thanks for reporting roturn and gratz to the PT!

175 points for Azteca by my count (which may not be very correct) but that is a massive number for any stage race for our team. When you consider that have only 191 (or less) points this season from non-Cobbled races we almost double that total in one solid race. And at 15.09 PPRD we are well above our season average which can only help our relegation fight and the chance to keep Summerhill.
Beltran led the way here riding out an early 2nd place spot into 7th on the GC while Pulido added consistent points from leading the KoM classification. A few minor points picked up by Chavez for his 27th in GC, Pulido again for 45th and Osorio for 49th.
Thanks for the reports, it was fun to be invested in a race that lasted more than just a day and didn't have cobbles.

Tell me this just this, how much money provided by German government have you used to pay Roturn?
There's not reason to be tacit about this, the result speaks for itself. You make Trump look like a man of principle.
