Glad to see the back of Fuji. Not sure why we didn't go stronger for breaks.
Superb outing in our home race from Yates. Nothing to improve really. Just what we needed this month! @Shonak: Fatancur couldn't kick high enough

Congrats, Abhiskek, I'm also very happy for Polestar, what a great race and result for them.
Tao had one bad day in Japan, but as he did in Sochi he joined the breakaway on the final stage and even made it back into the top 10. Plus a first white jersey for him, excellent. Fuglsang really disappointed us this time.
Very little GC-wise in Germany, only Thomas as 25th, but finally we were very active in the breakaways, our sponsor loved seeing so much of our jersey, and Bibby finished 2nd in the KOM ranking.

Top 10 in Germany is decent, Aru with the stage win and overall third in Japan is good as well.

A stage win, Top 5 in GC, KoM win and Teams' win - this has been so far our best performance this season. Unfortunately Poels for some reason entered into black hole and Ahlstrand and Groenewegen didn't do much in the sprints

Very good race from Domont in Japan with a surprise 7th in GC. Cimolai takes the points jersey on top of that, which concludes a very nice race for us.
Deutschland Tour was below par, with Villella just outside the Top 10 and Silvestre not even bothering to sprint. As the genius that I am, I obviously chose it as a goal race prior to the season.

Thanks Shonak for all the results. Fuji was a little bit underwhelming for Italo. The last flat stage there seems always to be won by a break... But nice to see Navarro taking it 
Last two stages of Rheinland-Pfalz and first three of the sufferfest that is Tour d'Andorra (crazy stage 3) are up: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread...st_1364186 |

Well done, df! Nice to have seen my dev team's jersey and Max Fritsch even managed 3rd in the KOM ranking. Two very different results in the Andorra mountains so far.

What a disaster in Rheinland - Benoot has a minute lead going into the last stage which was moderately hilly but well within his capability - and he loses 6 minutes - and drops like 8 places.
Losing to Herklotz is no shame - but 6 minutes and 8 other riders as well, it wasn't mountain stage???? McRettin needs to be asking the DS some questions.

Not too much cheer about in Berlin. Dimas with one good stage. Probably still a year too early for him, even at this level.

Some good results for Pierre Roger Latour in Andorra including a stage win.
Battaglin rode well in the ardennes, too bad the TTT spoiled his result.
Van Asbroeck did some good sprints in the Rheinland-Pfalz Rundfahrt, Battaglin dissapointing in final stage. Luckily Boem takes a good seventh spot in GC.

Another stage win, KoM and Teams' GC in a short space of time - I'll take it

Hey, he is not yet in second, so slow down.
Good performance from the guys in our home race so far. A stage win in the last 3 stages would be very sweet though.

Wrapped up races on my part, including Suisse. It's really an impressive streak that Rolland has going for him. Can he keep up his hard coded 2nd place in Switzerland or does Credit Suisse defend its home turf? Also, Ventoux challenge aka La Geant de Provence and some U23 racing in Ville Saguenay
Spoiler Break of the day snatching away the first win from Garau ;(

And another 1-2 in the last stage of Tour de Suisse. Shame Galta couldn't snatch another KoM, but we've finished in the Top 3 in the Teams Classification. Shame that in July I won't be relying on Poels as I've allocated RD to La Vuelta
