Ouch, those gaps on S5 in Aosta are just insane... And very disappointing to see both Ollero and UrÃzar so far away from the strongest, not even taking home a GC Top 10. Despite Ollero's win on the final stage, it's a pretty bad race for us unfortunately.
On the upside, good to see Ollero on fire in the TTs lately!
In California, Gomez did what he had to do so far. Not nice to lose some time on S2, but fully understandable given that he's not a great puncheur. Far more disappointed by Gonzalez though; in general he did way better last year with worse stats... Hope he can turn things around in the remainder of the season!

14th... maybe that's fair for Bailey Jansen given his low energy stats, I dunno. At least a stage win and an "easy" green jersey for Carter.

Bennett flying high in California. Hopefully we can take the points jersey home there since we didn't bring any climbers at all.

First truly terrible day of the season for Boily in Sochi. Sucks it had to happen in a stage race that otherwise suits him where a good amount of points are at stake. But not much we can do about it now. Only hope to salvage the race now is for Mullen to win the TT.

5th in the Sochi TTT, had secretly hoped for an even better result, but I think we lost our first rider too soon. Good performance by Davies on stage 2.

Ouch, with Vorobyev and Kelderman I hoped for a lot more in Sochi.

Nice stage win by Krautberger on Stage 4 of the mini Giro (if I can call it that). Good TT by Richter too on the final stage to confirm the Top 10. If not for so much time loss on the previous stage, Top 5 was a possibility. But still a good race for us.
No expectations in Sochi. Hope we have at least day out in the sun.

Amgen s4-s6 as well as sochi results posted. Happy with Mario Gonzalez and how he snatched that jersey but disappointing in Pulido, outclassed by Pizarro and Crochet in particular yet again.

Gonzalez continues to disappoint this year, barely any Top10s so far...
At least the TT was some fantastic teamwork, with 4 in the Top10 and the worst rider 32nd. Unfortunately we still didn't win it, but Gomez is up to 5th and will hopefully bring home a nice GC result  Some depth points obviously wouldn't hurt, either, but most of our doms probably won't be able to keep up in the mountains.

That trade was ages ago, I can't even remember who it was for. But he misses you too.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

14th is a very good result for Scott Davies. However, another miserable TT performance by Flakemore, he was beaten by Davies (TTR 80 vs 74).

California has gone about as well as possible, with Bennett really showing up for the sprints and Doull overperforming as leadout and puncheur. Very happy with the consistency there. If we can keep the points jersey, it will be a 100% success.
Sochi, not so much. Mullen's podium in the TT wasn't enough to salvage the race with Boily's flop. But not every race can be great.

Great giro In the end for Aru. 3 Stages and a second spot in GC is what I would have signed for at the beginning. Too Bad 1 stage killed the dream of winning the Pink jersey.
Sochi: Another great result for Michal. Too bad no stages won over there. Also surprising Pierre Roger did totally awesome being in fifth

Crochet did OK in Sochi, 2nd in young rider.
Wasn't sure whether to renew Rabitsch but he rewarded our faith with a great stage 5 break finishing 3rd on the stage and in points.
Thanks for the reports & videos Shonak.

Amgen wrapped up. Actually really nice race in the end for Aurum, some points for Ortega coming 3rd in U25 and respectable 15th in GC, but even better Perez with a great stage result and coming 2nd (same pts argh) as the KoM winer.

Wow, what a season debut for Gomez as our GC captain! He achieved what Chamorro hasn't been able to yet - a GC podium, and only 16" off the win! Fantastic job by the entire team in California, as DÃaz takes 10th in GC, and we are 2nd in the team standings.
And in the final stage, Gonzalez finally shows that he actually can sprint, taking 5th. A great race for us overall, despite the lack of a stage or classification win. Good job!

Den Haag 12th in the TT the highlight of ToC for our youth team, plus a couple of breaks by Vincent. This can appear not so much, but this was the least suited race of the calendar, it's more than enough/expected.

Shit, being beaten both at Sochi and Tour de Fjords is not good, I think I had both as goal races and overestimated my TTT squad after I lost Durbridge due to wages.
