This race sucks. I just hope my next targets will not end up like here.
100% agree.
Passeron still 4th and Boom might get a top 10 as well. But still I can`t be happy with it as I had hoped to get a top 5 or even win the race. |

For all of Koren's troubles CalGiant look in a good place really with Zirbel and Jacques-Maynes both decent chrono men they should both be up there possibly both in the top five, though they will come under pressure from Ignatiev and Boom.
All my efforts to try and not jinx it down the drain

Sorry for the delay. With the Track Cycling and other stuff, Ive been absurdly busy. I should be able to get the TT up tomorrow.

Intense Time-Trial! Also nice comeback for my team after failing hard on the first stage!

Nice use of spoilers SN. Great and tense report.
I'm thoroughly disappointed with that GC result.

Great way to report that time trial, SN!
And couldn't have asked for anything more in terms of results either! Capecchi stayed in the Top 10, and will score us a few points from here!

8th/9th for me sounds nice but seeing that Boom could have made the podium here makes it still a disappointment especially as we probably fail our top 5 goal.
Passeron having an impressive season so far. He was one of my last transfers but he is doing exactly what I hoped him to do looking at his stats.
Not sure but it might have been the first time trial Boom isn`t winning this season. Hopefully he can win the next again also he is still performing great so far.

Congrats to Koppert and Boogie!
And I guess I can only be happy with a 10th overall, seeing my expectations more or less didn't exist.

I can be happy with unexpected 2nd overall for Van Impe, on the other side Clement´s 20th, Van Goolen´s 24th and Kluge´s 336th or so is a big failure. Degenkolb could have grabbed some points in sprints too, but his time will come in future yet.
SN, can you please upload current standings if possible, including this race and Pro race Berlin?

Shit race. 8th and 9th are nice results in a HC race I guess but having one of the top 3 favourites here and not getting my top 5 goal done is disappointing.
Passeron is doing well, would have been the race highlight if he loses time with 10m to go on the last stage.
Hoping for something better in Luxembourg, where Boom hopefully is in a top position after the prologue to be more aggressive in the hilly stages then.

So the sprinters did get their day on the last stage. But it was an unpredictable one this race, pretty good really for teams not competing and I guess those that did best out of the unpredictability.
Koppert have really done far better than I would have expected from both the Cobbled races and again here.
Igantiev, his best race of the year so far but failed to win the TT and 5th really isn't what we have come to expect from him really. He did much much better last year. Guessing the TT roadshow will be back again for the Ras de Cymru and Post Danmark Rundt wonder whether Reus will have better team support from VolksWagen there?

4th place overall is quite good. Nice try from Greipel, but he started too early.
