None of the promotion candidates are really there - unless Tinkoff or Red Bull put in a notably strong haul to then put themself into contention

Maybe Chicchi have woken up now, and can take the last stage that´s what we need! Hope Van Heerden will hold on to his KoM jersey! |

Well, considering I was fearing the worst with that stage, I'm fairly happy settling with losing the lead to 100% ME. |

Very glad to see Swift has finally shown up for the season, and in a race where he was 6th overall 2 years ago, and 2nd overall (by 4 seconds) last year. Would be great to get the GC win and our team's first Tour of Ireland triumph - with both Roche and Martin riding consistently for Top 10 GC placings

I know full well that Swift is cursed this season, so not expecting a thing!

Bah boring stage. Moletta and Gerrans both move a bit closer to the win though, but will need a mass crash in the final stage to make my guess correct now :-P

I kinda like Veilleux. He shows true Bbox spirit.
I really hope he gets that KoM jersey. Anyways, great race by that man right there.

it's quite hard for a new team to pick up the best season goals because you don't know with what kind of riders you will end up with (still i got 3/5 last year )
Next year it should be easier for you to pick the goals that suit your team the most.

3th overall, a stage win, and team classification. Can't complain, although Goss rly isn't consistent enough.

I have learned a little bit this season so far. (First season as a manager the whole season. Took over Nvidia at some point during last season..) One is that what I consider small races (Langkawi, Ringerrike etc) are bigger races. The quality of the riders are amazing too. Very difficult to find a target race that I could win.
And last: That Veilleux did a good race here in Ireland, and I am satisfied with his performance. Just 1 point short.
