Oh my god Ikibe, OH MY GOD 
6th in the 10th stage and 9th in gc, that's how we do at GenTavisGaz  Add 10th in points and 4th in mountains, plus a 24th gc for Formolo and I can proudly say that Avenir was far more successful than expected.
Congrats, tsmoha on winning with Morton that way, the guy is gonna be a star for sure one day! It's too bad Lecuisiner was not quite at his level on the big mountains, but all of it was so close 
Congrats Avin on grabbing the last stage and thanks for the ever colorful reports SN!

Congrats to tsmoha and Morton! Nice win in an exciting edition of Avenir.
Also cool that Formolo ended up in the top 25.
Great reports SN!

Great race! I just managed to check it out, I've been a little busy. Brave ride throughout the race from Kung, its a bummer to see him lose out on his top ten spot at the end there. Congrats to tsmoha of course, at least it was a close race too.

Really cracking race to read, intriguing GC battle. Shame Lutsenko dropped off but it was always going to be so. Thanks for the reports SN.

Was a great race, both report wise, and action wise. Shikai with a podium is very good, and I am happy to take away a stage win as well! Congrats to tsmoha on the victory and thank you SN for the brilliant reports!

Nice ending to a great race, nice to see Morton triumph, he's going places ever since that first win at the top of some Aussie hill  I think inside he is missing HTC Nieuwsblad, but Oz is the best thing after!
Potocki, what a great effort, he's really one of my favourite riders since that late stagiare signing, Top 20 this year, Top 10 next hopefully!
Thanks SN.

17th sounds about right with this much time trialing from Mathieu. The main thing was beating Maxime tough, thus justifying me keeping only one of the twins
Thanks for the report SN, very well written as always.

Nice win for Morton, congrats tsmoha! An exciting race to follow. Shikai put in a pretty good performance for 3rd too. Thanks for the detailed reports SN.

Wow, eat that Herklotz!
It seems that Dzhus listened carefully, when Pluchkin was giving him mountain lessons.
2nd stage win in the race for Metinvest and 8th in the GC with Dzhus is fantastic and makes up for half of my team crashing at some point of the race. Of course i expected a bit more from Grosu, who also was a favourite to win a stage here, but i cant have everything and two stage wins for the team are enough i guess. This was the best ever Avenir team ever for us and we can hardly bring any better in the future, it was a great campaign with our young guns, only Tanovitchii should return next year.
Thanks to jihardy and Selwink for helping us with Siskevicius and Räim respectively, i hope they learned something.
Big congrats to tsmoha, it is great to see Morton winning, he was agressive and it paid off. Thanks for the top notch reports SN!

Had really hoped Cort would do better than 12th, but the break ruined that earlier. Good show though with Lehtinen as last helper on the hard stages.

Very nice edition indeed. Last year's stage win could not be repeated, but with only 1 rider I can't complain. Cerny did quite good in this field with some very nice results on all terrains. The mountain jersey for the team is a nice bonus!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Great edition of Avenir, we are getting a great race with all the star talents that got added a few seasons ago. Really happy with 2 stage wins from Zabel
The battle between Morton and Lecuisiner has bene exsiting aswell

Sadly Kung dropped out of the top 10 and couldn't improve last years result. Regarding the lack of good climbing support there's no need to be disappointed, he showed a good fight.
Pellaud and Schir fancying their chances and were on the go multiple times. Our young guys got some some talent, but need to be more sober in the future. Avenir is as much a team efford as a showcase after all.
Gratz to Morten winning vs an incredible strong built Festina team and thanks for reporting, SN!

Congrats to Morton and Oz Cycling.
Shame to see Maxime lose the battle of the La Lavandiers, but a top 20 finish is excellent, much more than what I was expecting

It's a shame that Kung dropped out of the top 10 but he still had a good race and it makes me look forward to having him back in my own jersey even more.
