Just for the record. The final U25 and Team rankings are in order of the final stage and not the overall... I'll happily take the points from 8th Youth and 3rd Team, but I shouldn't

Not many points on the board (as expected) but at least we were in most of the breaks. Congrats to beagle and big props to danny for the speedy reporting!

A little sad about Fiedler failed to win the TT, yet this turned out to not be a bad team participation. Top 10GC, Top10 of stage and 2nd on the TT..
Congrats to Pokerstars and thanks for the reports sgdanny

Degenstache to be the most consistent sprinter and win thanks to his superior leadout-train.
Should provide some great racing as usual, definetely one of the most interesting races of the calender!
 Not the hardest pred. too make, but happy having such a sprinting team paid off, huge congratz to Pokerstars!
not too many surprises except for the stage where Bewley and Degen got time on everyone and Vantomme top 5-ing here! Enjoyed this race alot from the sideline
The most dissapointing rider here was definetely Kristoff, what on earth
Thanks for the tip-top reports danny!

Some interesting sprints, although would have liked to see a bit more variety in reporting style and screenshot angles. Glad that Ben Swift at least got a win for Aegon and a GC podium.
Disapointing to see Kittel ignored in the TT report, which was always going to be the main stage of interest for us. He rode a very solid race on the first 5 stages but a somewhat poor performance in the stage that mattered, as a Top 10 in GC was really in reach. Nice job by Mundle to make the Stage 5 split also, to ensure a Top 50 GC placing, was always likely to be his best race.

An OK-ish showing by the boys in Orange. Kennaugh's win makes up for this rather disappointing sprint finishes in the other stages, plus an overall top-10 GC finish is definitely also worth taking. |

A really disappointing Ciolek race made up for by a great Sütterlin show in the TT and overall, just missing out on the Top 10 but winning the U25 jersey which always is one of our main goals in any stage race.
He was a cheap pick years ago, went under the radar for most of the time, but he shouldn't be underestimated.
6 seconds separate Ciolek's 21st from a potential 7th overall, and I can't help but think those 6 seconds could have been very easy to secure if the last couple sprints had went better...
I hope he learns from this for future races, we still heavily rely on points out of sprints, and this was arguably the best race for those. At least I opted out of making this a win goal at the last second
