In case you didn't know Kalaba, you are the designated sprinter here.

Awful stage 1 for us. Nobody in the top 20 is quite a sordid result.
Manninnen again at it. Lost count of his tally already. Congrats to Valio!

Kemboi not really being competitive makes me wonder if PCM is treating him as a rouleur rather than a sprinter, because he shouldn't really be that much weaker than anyone in this field except Gaviria and Manninen... |

Gaviria doing his best to keep his wage down I see, I appreciate his efforts.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Kalaba is awake at least, shame it doesn't bring us points as of yet.

That was much better from Boeckmans. Real shame he did nothing on the previous stage, as it took him out of any points standing options. Would probably need another 3rd place on the final stage to have him at the pts total I was hoping for him.
Glad Mottin kept safe. Moment of truth for him tomorrow 
Congrats on the win fintas

Satisfiable outcome, nothing spectacular but just decent, like the TT department has been all season.

That was a beauty, up to 10th and 11th, Jallays underperforming, but still in scoring position, looking like >20pprd barring a disaster, a success for now

Dreadful race.
Could be our worst race of the season. At least our worst TT-themed event. Make it stop plz.
Fiedler up on the first position again. Congrats Heine!

Mottin you bastard, I've been waiting all year for this performance 
Looks like he saved his best performance for the most important race
6th is his best result of the year, while he has been underperforming in every race before that. With him being up to in 8th in GC now, we just gotta bring him home on the final stage. Hopefully we can juggle him finishing safely and Boeckmans sprinting.
Also Penko with an under the radar great performance to grab the white jersey

Finally Paillot performs as hoped, in the flattest race he enters
Now hopefully no crosswinds/breakaway on the final stage to steal his 3rd place, and a good finish from Kemboi, and we'll be quite happy with this race. Even if Repsol have gained over 200 points on us... |

No gaps given is quite annoying, but yeah, our season is done anyway.
Thanks for the reports!

Best FL amongst the sprinters present and Kemboi is dropped on a flat stage? And then no gap given? Seriously?
Thanks for the reports Abhi, glad Paillot had a good race but overall what a crapshoot for us. |

A forgettable race for us, as we expected it to be. Good on Stork for managing a top 5 in the U25s, though! And a good attempt from Veyhe & co on the last stage.
Thanks for the reports and congrats to Heine!

I have no idea if those gaps that weren't given would've helped or hurt us, but it doesn't matter because I was happy with things as they were
Mottin dropped a spot on the countback which I didn't even notice could happen, but another 3rd place from Boeckmans kinda makes up for it. In the end it's a decent race for the sprinter also
And of course Penko keeps the white jersey, haven't had one of those in a long time  Also he will be maxed next year, so maybe we can see this again
I got pretty much double the amount of points I expected to get with this race  Pair that with another fine performance in Ijssel and this was a perfect way to end, what was expected to be a low scoring month
Congrats to all the winners and thank you Abhi for all the awesome reports

Great race and result on the part of Fabio. If before the start of the race I was told that we would leave here with 2 stage victories and a 5th place in the GC I would not believe it.
Great to see my former rider taking the win and thank you Abhi for all the awesome reports

Another terrible performance of 80TT Viennet. Again. I don´t get it.
Thanks Abhi for reporting.
