Very unexpected win here, I was afraid the mountain ratio on the last stage would be tough for Bratashcuk, but that obviously did not bother him at all.
Cup half full/hal empty for WCC here. Pre-race and throughout had high hopes of at least an overall GC podium for Boily with the last stage looking made for him, but not to quite be. 4th is solid, and with back-up from RG in 10th, can't be too unhappy. Combined with small accumulation of minor points throughout the race, keeps the ppRD for this outing above target. Others have done better this outing, but it is the consistent amassing of steady points that is WCC's route towards promotion rather than multiple victories with this years squad it would appear.
Congrats to Tamijo on the overall victory, and thanks to Roturn for the quality reports.
Huge congrats in order for Tamijo, not only his first GC win, but also beating some of our direct promotion rivals in the process
Was following this one closely though we weren’t involved. Loved the detailed reporting roturn, it was so clear throughout (minus the hard drive issue )
Stage 3: I just really hope Jams isn't hurt Now onto the less important stuff...
Great win from our man Roux! Stunning solo win, showed his credentials as one of if not the top puncheur at the moment and basically perfected the tactic he tried and failed to execute in Cacak - if it's a flat/ish finish, just win solo! Good to have the race lead, hope we can keep it...
Stage 4: Disaster Poor day for Roux, massive shame for us and a big loss as we needed to win GC really given the complete lack of depth scoring. I can't stay mad at Chaves but Azteca getting more than us here hurts, especially as they also outdid us in Cacak and Faso.
Maybe this is just karma for me basically saying Bratashcuk is useless in my preview
