Just to say sorry for any mistakes in this report, I had one done ages ago, got deleted somehow and had to re-write it in the last 3 hours again..
So it's not perfect I would think, but wanted to get it out today. Hope you enjoyed this race

How, exciting race. Congrat's to Alarcon and his team for the win. Great racing, a lot of surprises we're reserved to this race. |

Well, 13th is pretty much the expected for the best possible scenario, barring major AI fuck up like in Trentino, so I'm happy with that. Congrats for Bintang, great win for Alarcón, and good work with the reports Alakagom.

Failed our first goal. Eleventh was not what we wanted at all, shame it wasn't more selective 
Good reports though |

Alarcon proves his worth, impressively  Can't complain with 7th considering the team did everything it could with the pieces present. Thanks for the reports Alakagom, onward to April.

Thanks for the reports Alakagom - very frustrating feeling when a report already written is lost or deleted.
Jaguar just about avoid a 0 pointer. Hoped for more in the TT really, but this race was always going to be experience only when I decided against sending Bibby here.

Looking forward to Stage 3, I don't think Kritskiy can win Corsica International this year (maybe next year) but our sponsor goal (Top-5) is within reach. Hopefully Kunshin can play a vital role by helping Kritskiy until the end!
On current form, you might not be in this race next year

Alarcon finally does it. Congrats to him and his team. Really deserved after going from far out.

Alarcon rises from the ashes of his last season to lay hammer down finally. Great triumph for Bintang.
Taramaae and Kritskiy continue to do consistently well, which looks to me as a very positive sign for promotion contenders.
And right after the podium is my spaniard, who's just proven he can fight for the podium in some of the biggest races of the calendar. Best race for us so far this season.
Also great reports Alakagom, thank you very much

14th overall is not too bad, considering the very strong field. Ardila gave it a real go, too, so it's not because of lacking effort.

Tinkoff continue to perform outstandingly, and Taaramae continues to bring in decent points for Boyguess - but what a return to winning ways by Alarcon.
Great one to follow as a neutral, so thanks for the great report

Can't complain about the 5th considering the field. Makes me believe that Keizer can steal some points in the future

That's my boy! Oh, I mean that's how Alarcon should ride! Big congratulations to Bintang, finally the Venezuelan made some real use of himself this season
Nice report as well, Alakagom, thought the favourites would catch Alarcon when they started to attack, but that was never going to happen. A bit surprising to see 11 riders on the same time behind Alarcon. I especially expected Taaramäe to be stronger compared to many of the riders he crossed the finish line together with. |

Another poor race for me, with my riders failing to make any mountain splits. I guess it is consolation for Ardila Cano to win KOM. I will need to improve drastically to avoid relegation.

Very nice report Alakagom,but boring and disappointing race for Metinvest. Popovych just riding near the front of the group of favourites, while this group of best climbers in the division is not able to close the gap on one rider (i know even better climber) during the whole climb. This is silly and Popo 8th is bad, the super stage racers just neutralize themselves and Popo is always only 4-8th,while same riders like Kritskiy got 2nd and the races are the most boring instead of most exciting.
Next for Popo is Vancouver, where the opposition could be similar again.

Great ride by Lövkvist getting 10th in the GC and Eltink at 22th would been nice with Bjelkmark in top 30 but 31 is not far away |

Alarcon i definitely back!
Very pleasing and unexpected performance by Adamou, getting a top 20 here, so we're happy with the outcome! |

Hoped for more there from Pozzo.
Crazy for the others to let Alarcon get the lead like that - but he made it stick this time, so well congrats to Bintang. A long time coming. |
