Nice start for Anthony Roux, congrat jandal
Bratashcuk 8th is a little bit disappointing, but expected with a large group finish, Sisira did everything to cut it down but it was not enough great stage from him, sitting with Bratashcuk all the way to the finish.
Let’s hope for some smaller group next day. Glad we got the white jersey for now.
Thanks for another one of an endless stream of yet another great report tsmoha

A fine start for us, not a lot of points but we made the break and had three riders in the main group. Now hoping for something better in stage 2!
Grats Jandal. Booker still on pole position for the win to me though  |

2 in the top 20 in hill sprint 1, hopefully the positioning for hill sprint 2 is a little kinder to us and we can improve one of them to a top 10 or top 15.

Hell yeah! This is about as good as it can get for us! Over 100 points for two race days. I'm certainly starting to regret not joining the C2 hilly classics, as our puncheurs have been the backbone of our team.
Looking forward to see the standings as we should have our highest pprd of the season right now; it can only go downhill from here. Thanks for the reports tsmoha, and grats to Booker for the kinda expected yet very nice victory. |

I knew it would happen but that's still crushingly disappointing  Congrats to Booker, you better win the title now Thanks for nice reporting tsmoha, and still a decent points haul for us thanks to Roux being awesome uphill and Davison keeping the gaps to a minimum today.

It was very obvious that Vichot would win the race, congrats Booker! A huge step towards the title battle, and probably even securing a promotion spot already with 2 months to go in the season.
My team is so pathetic. We have 3 riders in the first group in GC, and all are in the last 10 spots. At least we were third in the Teams classification and Fernando takes extra points in the U25, leaving Stacchiotti as the only rider in my team to have not score a single point in all season 
And thanks for the reports tsmoha! I would have enjoyed them more if my team had shown any sign of actually being in the race, but they were great anyway

Another weak race from Chaves, however the team gave him great support and ended up winning the team classification which should give us some nice points for only 3 race days.

Yes!!! Massive result for Vichot and Kulczyk.
I wasn't as assured as others that he'd pull it off, but Arthur was a menace in Canada. 71 pts per race day is also a new high, and will help us reduce the gap to the top. Looking forward to the monthly update now.
Thank you for the reports tsmoha, brilliant as always and great to see you report a win for Kulczyk!

Super dissapointed in RVH, this was really supposed to be the race that pushed us really far infront of Kulczyk, instead they pull off a great race. That said, great job by vichot, it was a really exciting race.
Thanks for the terrific reports tsmoha! |

Can't really complain with 8th on stage 2 and 7th in the GC with Wyss. This was probably around the max he could get with the riders who finished ahead of him. Also good of Bardet to pick up some minor points. Costa should really have stayed with the front group on stage 1.
Congrats Booker on the win, making up for the disappointment in Benelux  For a change the rider everyone thought would win, actually did!
Thanks for the reports tsmoha

Wow, was awesome to see that WCC late stage surge towards the line defining the close of s2, just a shame wasn't applied earlier in the stage where it might have been even more decisive on the outcome.
Once more our August curse ontinues with Visconti hitting the deck and retiring. That is now a retirement in EVERY SINGLE RACE (!!) we have participated in during August. Hopefully our record of hitting the deck is now complete.
Well 5th pre-race was the minimum target, and that is exactly what Boily produced. 3rd and 5th on stages good enough for 3rd in the points comp. R-G with solid backing up to provide some depth points. Keeping the points accumulation ticking over in the promotion battle. Most of the teams in the fight seemed to do well here, so somewhat a score draw in most cases I would assume other than the biggest haul for Kulyck with victory.
Congrats to Kulczyk on Vichot's overall victory and once more thanks to TSM for the reports.
