Stage Win always appreciated from a Sprint focused team, and gets us 1 out of the 10 needed for our Goal. Plus it jumped him to a well deserved GC podium, and this is without any training guys
Yates doing what i expect Yates to do again this year, ride a little under the radar but incredibly consistently. 5th GC ahead of much stronger HL riders because of his all-round bonuses.
Pretty top start Down Under for us, vastly superior to last years under performances.
Little disappointing from McCarthy here, but this was always very much a lottery ticket race for him - Gautier winning shows he could have been expected to compete for the GC win, but it's far from the disaster I feared if the race had been completely unselective.
Also a stronger showing from Lander, on the kind of parcours he is best suited to. Not an amazing race for us (indeed a poor one in terms of PPRD) but far better than it could potentially have been. Thanks for doing a great job with the reports roturn!
Terrible race with few redeeming factors, just our luck our main leader logically misses out on the biggest split of the race and so doesn't finish in the top 10. Stauff however delivered some decent results but they don't score much so boohoo me
Luckily for us I didn't expect such a great result here but when theres an opportunity like this here we need to take it!
