Sorry for the lack of comments the last 3 stages another trip to London has messed with my time to comment so
Stage 9/10: Boily with another amazing performance top 10 on both stages and getting that GC 4th beating Kwat in a race like this is mighty impressive very happy with how he has ridden again. Now onto his home race in Canada
Stage 11: And we keep performing Armee with a top ride to get stage win number 2 this combined with Boily performances to get the white jersey GC top 5 and a 3rd in the green jersey make this a very successful tour |

Siskevicius with a solid GC result in the end. Some nice points to keep the count ticking although the PPRD are ofc horrible. But nothing more was expected after how the season went.
No comments. Really  
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Hoped Kwiatkowski could sneak the points jersey on the final day but it wasn't to be. Still a decent race for us with a 5th overall and good results on most stages. Thanks for the reports Atlantius. |

Very happy with Kangert's third place. This race cost us 11 race days, so it was very important to score some good points to not mess up our PpRD. Especially with Aegon breathing down our necks.
Good to see Machado finally deliver for Prio. Congrats!
Thanks for the reports Atlantius! Great job.

YES!
At last Machado gets to the highest place of the podium. Massive result for us especially with this being the most important race of the season for the sponsors! Nice to take the team classification as well.
I feel bad for Mobil. Their run of bad luck is something really impressive, they should consult an exorcist or something like that.
Thanks for the reports Atlantius. Great work to cover all these 11 glorious stages

Watch out teams after promotion, Bonsucro scored the grand total of 14 points here.
As in 95% of races this season with no Contador, the whole team hideously underperforms. Yes we couldn't expect much here, but more than 14 points surely. 1 breakaway, really!?!?!
Another podium from Aker-MOT in the break, some going there, they probably have more podiums from breaks then we have had riders in breaks this season.
Shame for Becerra, but he was only up there in GC because of a breakaway, like c.10 or so riders who finished in front of Iglinskiy.
Thanks for doing the race Atlantius, I imagine this was even more of a grind than the USAPCC was for me. |

Ziesler again doing a good performance in the break, but.... All those breaks, so tired of it.
This was a make or break race for us, with the eleven race days. It could have been better, but really I've to be satisfied with the amounts of points we got here (just a bit over 10 pprd, I believe), given the mountain stage.
Thanks for all the reports, Atlantius. Good work

We didn´t expect big amount of points here but a good result with Hoogerland at 10th in GC but had hoped Cort Nielsen / T Ludvigsson could sneak in to top 20 aswell but still on points places atleast.
Thanks for great reporting Atlantius!
And congrats Gustavovskiy to the deserved win! |

At least Wang was in the break now, not much else to say than to thank you Atlantius for the outstanding reports. |

Great race for us, 2 stage wins, 2nd in the GC, points jersey and a lot of good results as well! Had expected a good result, perhaps podium, before the race, but the stagewins weren't expected. Also Ulanowski shouldn't complain, he would have 0 chances in Baltic either

Racing in Portugal stays a success story for us. Just been in one break, but good enough to add cumulated 100 extra points.
Thanks for the great reports, Atlantius and gratz to Prio - Porto!

Good race for the team, with a stage win and a couple of other stage placings, not to mention 8th overall by Tvetcov. One of the better races this season so we dont have much complaints from this one, but...
Thanks for the reports Atlantius btw!

Okay, so we finish stage 1 and 2 2nd, which is great, but then we go back to normal standards and do absloutely nada for the rest of the race. Boring guys.. take a shower and wake up plz.
Congratz to Gustav for completing the win and thanks for the good work Atlantiu!

Another good stage from us, Dyrnes is great at getting into the right moves. Kind of a pity he missed out on the KoM jersey, but Le Gac's tactic was perfect.
A bonus GC for us with Hoem sneaking home 11th place after his breakaway participation on the Queen stage. Stake Laengen landing a top 20 was what I hoped for, but admittedly, seeing how the race progressed, it felt like something even better was possible for him, but some big time losses on the final hilly stage and the Queen stage made that difficult.
Thanks for all the reports, Atlantius, it has been a great race to follow and be part of.

We're good at this! At least this season |

An awful race considering that our potential Top 5 GC rider finished outside the Top 140 or whatever it was.
Izagirre at least salvaged a few points with his decent GC from the breakaway.
Was disappointed we weren't more active considering our leader was gone.
Thanks for the reports though.
