Maybe I should've entered Panayotov instead. But at least we kept the U25 lead within our domain.

Good team effort, though not quite the result we wanted from Korzh. It hasn't been a great race for us so far, so hopefully Favilli can get a result on the next stage and make the trip to France worthwhile.

Olman delivered the TT we needed to get the stage win we came here for.
And Ahmad Zamri jumped up higher than I thought he would, just a shame I can't see him holding onto a top 10, let alone his current 5th place.
1 minute really shouldn't be enough on the guys behind him in GC on the final mountain stage.

Pretty interesting stage. Few breakaway's... Even one including my rider. I hope Moyano decided to save his strength for last stage. But it could be pretty exciting rivalry for KOM with Edmondson. Sepulveda still 3rd in GC... Oh man I'm getting worried about last stage. I'll be with nothing after tomorrow. |

Catching up a bit. König a bit sub-par here but a joy watching Lehtinen with some aggressive riding, though lousy tactics when Pinot won...
Also magical to finally get Kulppis first career win. That stage means the world to me!

Great final stage by König so save the overall result. GC podium is good enough for me, especially after the disappointments early on.
Also a nice race from Lehtinen even though missing the youth jersey by 3 seconds is bitter. Would have been a great result for Sakari!

Not much tp say, the TT kms made my team suffer. Despite this, we gained some points, so not that bad...
Thanks for the report tsmoha and congrats to Andorra. |

I just knew Kiserlovski would go ballistic, when he turns it on there is no one that can follow. It wasn't a great ride by Brajkovic today, but he still comes in with a comfortable 2nd place finish. That is way more than we thought he could achieve.
No stage wins, but with so many podium spots it has been a fantastic race for us. Congrats to Andorra for the win and thank you Tsmoha for all the great reports

I think Moyano didn't even tried to win KOM. It just looked like that. Great attack by Parra Bustamente. For a second I was hoping for a massive and brilliant victory, but I felt it would be to good.
Rodrigues with a decent result and Sepulveda who didn't lose to much time. It will be a hard watch in the next races, because he will lose a lot on mountain stages. At least he finished 4th in GC which for sure is big success for my team.
And depth paid off again. Second Team Classification victory this season  .
Thanks for the reports, congrats to the winners! |

Beautifuuuuuul  So happy with this win! I was nervous thinking Kiserlovski left it for too late but he appears to have even fooled me 
Over the moon, brilliant result and exactly what we came here for, these have been a great bunch of races and the points racked here are massively important.
Thank you tsmoha again for all the great reports, congratz to all that are satisfied with their race, and a big cheers to all the congratulations!
Also special mention to redordead, I'm in love with Brajkovic's performances, ultimate underdog and having an amazing season, it was really exciting to have this battle! Also to Atlantius for completing the podium and dominox fo Sepulveda's ride and teams classification!

Not exactly how I wanted it to go but still a pretty good race overall. Would have liked that stage 6 win but I guess not everything is meant to be. Still happy with 2nd then and 10th overall. Good work team.
Congrats to Kiserlovski and thanks tsmoha for the reports!

I am amazed by Ahmad Zamri's performance here, 8th GC is far better than I expected.
I didn't think we would get better than a top 15 out of any mountain races this year so he has definitely outperformed expectations here and this result proves I was right to give him a contract for this year when I unsure about it at the end of the season.
