This is why I don't set my expectations high anymore. Such a shit day from Steensen that he wasn't even mentioned, and Lee even beat him. Absolute crap. Not even in the top 10 with 77 TT. Hopefully we're in the break again tomorrow at least.
Edit: Meanwhile, I'm gonna take a closer look back into the Man Game DB to see if the stats of my riders have somehow been deflated along the way.

well, we are the 2nd best CT rider which is nice...but then there is Spotify, and they are really earning some points here and thus turning a good race for us into a mediocre one
on the bright side Drucker with a strong performance which is nice and Mezgec in green

Zoidl, only 33rd in the TT and still behind Salleh on GC. If that's not a minus 5 day I don't know what is, he should have been top 10 even without any hills.
This must have been more prologue stat than TT stat the way he performed surely. Looks like I'll need another Salleh stage win to get anything out of the GC as he needs those big bonus seconds to get close to the top 10.
I knew I made a mistake sending Zoidl here instead of to a Slovenie that also had hills but I didn't think it would be this bad from him here.

Again a stage with mixed feelings. Rathe in the break (again) but not interested in KoM/sprint and then getting dropped when they might have a chance to win the stage. I think Drapac and Manarelli have some bad blood between them so Avila takes his chance and wins... for sixth place.

Great job by De Clercq. But he was 2 times in the break, so it's no surprise.

What a fantastic stage for the team - Great win by Abelouache and Konte backs it up with a 3rd place finish. We had no GC ambitions at all here given the TT, so a stage win makes this a very successful race indeed.
Our NC jersey are getting a good show after Thaouta won in Acropolis.
Thanks for the report roturn

Its been a pretty bad race for us since we have joined no breaks and Corti isn't sprinting here. Stannard helps make this race better by getting 5th in the TT and GC so all is not bad although I expected more from Robert...

It's better to be anonymous than have something bad happen.

And I sent my top time trialist, one of the best in the division here, and he's in 12th. But he could have crashed out by now, so what am i supposed to do.

Another crap race for the team.Lee with 10th in the end. Is that supposed to be a bright spot? It doesn't feel like it.
Thanks to roturn for keeping up the reporting.

Atleast we got in the breakaway on the final stage. Not much else happened for us here, so not much to say really.
Thanks for the reports!

A Stage win, the points Jersey and 15th GC, not exactly how I thought we'd be scoring points out of this one but considering how that TT went we salvaged a more than decent result out of it.
Congrats to Spark on the GC win and thanks to Roturn for the reports.
