My team with a fairly good performance there. Doing the work at the front near the end, it would have been nice to see Caruso closer to contest the stage but still not bad from him. He will however struggle in the TT. Prades and De Souza finishing ahead of Roy is a classic and hopefully those 3 can stay in point scoring positions.

Grivko is the reason we wanted to do this race and seeing him be so strong makes me very happy. Top 10 in this field would be incredible.
just checked and Grivko most likely will get more points here than for winning a C2 race

8th and 9th... Normally that would be quite a decent result, however we had a top 5 goal, which should have been very much achievable... Not happy at all.

Caruso with a huge fall to 16th, his TT ability really isn't ideal

Brilliant race for Yoann and the Moohs! Congrats also to Compal for some fantastic planning and to the other guys in the Top 5 with a good race - and in the top 10 besides Nepo only surprise guys, great to see this race!

Like said before it's sad that Vasyliv didn't perform like Le Gac on the hill stage, as that would have given us a top 10 result, but instead we get two riders scoring 10 points each from the GC as far as I can see (If nothing happens on the final stage).
Kastrantas winning the KOM must be secure with only two cat. 3 climbs left. Unfortunately he dropped just outside the top 50 and lost those extra 5 points. Not important ofcourse, but it is always nice to see your own talents getting as many points as possible.
In that aspect I am also very pleased to see Yoann Paillot taking a great win and a great GC result also. He was easily the most difficult rider I had to let go this season - Well for several seasons actually...

No nationality bonus in TT's apparently 
Still it's a very good result to get a top 10 in a HC race.

Wow, that was close, missing a win goal by 3 seconds hurts a little, but on the other hand a great performance to take 2nd place, especially after some really bad races before this, so getting good race was important, so I'm very pleased despite missing out on the win.
Congrats on the great win though bjarnte, some very good planning there and thank you for an excellent and very tense report Roturn

Very cool to see LLS that strong in a HC race again.
Bringing Decker also turned out a great strategic decision. Well done planning there.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Wow, feel very sorry for Netia missing out on their win goal by such a small margin. LLS did a great time trial and deserved his jersey.
However, this win would be so vital for us that I am glad Dekker had the power to beat him in the end. With Thomas now maybe winning the green jersey as well, things look a tad bit brighter as we nears the end of the season. I hope the points earned here can help jump us over the relegation line.
What a fantastic report roturn. That last photo was so tense I had to read every single line slowly, holding a paper under before you revealed the final result. Wow, super interesting time trial1 |

This is not going well but I did not expect much more from this team.
Stage1 - A bit disappointing, Haussler fell short of my expectations
Stage2 - Well better, exactly what I expected a podium is always good
Stage3 - A disaster that was also expected due to the characteristics of our cyclists
Stage4- The real hypothesis of achieving a victory in this race, unfortunately Fiedler seems to have paid the effort of the previous day. Still, it was not too bad.
In summary for now everything has been running normal and what was expected for our team

Well that Time-Trial didn't go anywhere near as badly as it could have. Still in a top 10 position and striking range of a top 5 finish.

The hilly stage provided a bit bigger gaps than hoped for bit great to we Paillot finally getting a win and a good GC position with a youth jersey to go with it. |

As lucky as we were around this period last season, as unlucky we seem to be now. Sure, this race will probably yield very solid points, but it's far from the race we expected/hoped for, and don't even get me started on America...
Prevar did okay though, and Konovalovas has been solid too.

Last stage won by a breakaway, what are the odds..
And we're in big trouble for relegation again. Time for Van Asbroeck to save the day.

Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Sadly our race was defined by the complete stage 3 breakdown, could've been a nice one otherwise.
Thanks for reporting and gratz to Compal!

Puh...delighted to get the last stage over with. Was waiting for both a Dekker crash and to see him being dropped in extreme side wind conditions. When it comes to GC wins it's easy to get a bit paranoid
Thank you very much for leading us through this race roturn, it has been amazing! |

Not an amazing race for us with Bibby underperforming slightly, but a reasonably solid one. Was hoping for more in order to boost our promotion push but still quite happy. Nice to see Chatarunga performing on the final stage as well.
Thanks for the reports roturn! |

I did not expect much of this race, but the final balance is even worse than expected.
Congrats for the winner and thanks for the reports
