Nice way to round of the season here. Will take 3rd, should definatly planned my season wayyy differently But the most depressing part of the season is that a lvl 3 talent outscored Arroyo in the rankings and cost under half of his prize aswell That's just bizarre.
Atleast we managed to salvage a 4/5 in the end which is cool so we altleast get something to play with next year.
It was nice to see Salleh in the break and it was nice to end the season on home soil. Schurter just missed the top 5 which is slightly disappointing but he gave it his best on the day and we are going into the offseason full of optimism regardless.
It's really good to see a Swiss rider winning for a Swiss team at home, just a slight shame it wasn't my team but I'm glad it was Vontobel if it couldn't have been us.
and thanks to tsmoha for another great report, you've done so many this season and all of them have been such high quality.

The predicted Swiss win then, but I don't think anyone expected Sayar in second or Bekmanis in 3rd. Will be very interesting to see how the rankings shake out. Thanks for the report tsmoha

perhaps Bekmanis will make a shock run here against his home team? Would been crazy enough so that i'd even loved that scenario
I was close enough at least
Thanks Tsmoha (and the other regular reporters) for this wonderful season !
One of those 1-day races that occurred pretty regular to Nutresa this year where plenty of aggression, but not much to show for it in the end. Very surprised that Kolobnev went the whole season without a victory, but he was pretty regular top 10 and higher (not today).
Good to see Vontobel get a nice home result and to see the conclusion of the lower down battles for promotion. SN seems to indicate in a different thread that all the top 12 will go up, so those scraps over 10th in the CT standings end up having less of an impact today, but kept it exciting until the end. With 1 years experience under their belt, will be interesting to follow how the remaining CT teams evolve to hopefully dominate the division next season!
And finally thanks to TSM, who must have reported on at least half of our RD's this season, chapeau!

Hooray for Marcel Wyss!!!
What a beautiful, sunny day for the CT-Tour final. And what a great way to end the season by our guys.
The attending Vontobel board members were excited, too and promised to provide a comfortable budget for the 2015 season.
Thanks for the congratulations and thanks for another great report by tsmoha!
Eager fight by Mustafa Sayar and the whole Siam-Team, but admittedly today everything worked in Vontobel's favour.
Nice to see that when the bunch stopped chasing each attending team had a rider upfront and no one left Switzerland scoreless.
