well that was one hell of a useless ride - Mohoric throwing away some decent positioning, our other two captains Brajkovic (where was the mountain stat today?) and Quevedo (again, of course) crashing and visibly injured - that all leads into our development rider Svab being the second best being a lvl 1 in one of the deepest hill squads in the division. Wow.
We really have to turn our head bacjwards and start actually defending our spot in the podium rankings.Right now we are just giving up on it which is awful to see.
8th from Juul Jensen is about what we wanted, so no problems there. No attacking by him, but a solid result nonetheless. Hansen with an amazing performance. Made me proud that I actually developed him into a decent puncheur. 13th from him after being up there for a while chasing was really nice to see. Should secure a few points here.
Thanks for the report and congrats to Selwink!

Nothing to see here for WCC after Boily hitting the deck pretty much ruled out any chances of even monor points. Not clear if the others then waited for him and hence why so poor, as R-G should have been decent enough to step up in his absence to contest for top 25. Trips to the higher level have generalkly been quite successful for WCC throughout the season, so can't really complain over much that the lads failed to deliver on this occasion.
Surprised to see former Nutresa rider Klemme take victory here, congrats to Novatek. If there was any lingering doubt before, they must definitely be well clear of relegation with that result.
Solid tenth place from Moazemi even after being involved in the crash. Just wish he'd more often get results like these in such fields. Still due to Indosat and Meji doing better we probably lost two ranking spots in this race. Now Guerao and Denifl need to fight to get us back into the top 10.
Thanks for the report and congrats Selwink!
This race was a complete disaster, to do worse would have been almost impossible.
Any remote hypothesis that we had in winning the title disappeared after this race.
