5th on the stage, 8th in the GC, team classification and double win for the U23. Combined with our earlier stage win this race could very well be the unexpected surprise that keeps us in.
Congrats Reddit and thanks for the reports Tamijo!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Terrible final stage... From 4th to 23th in GC after an horrendous day for Bystrom...
At least McKenna took the KoM jersey home, to somehow save the race together with 2nd place in S3

Wow what a terrible stage  Now a nothing race for us, in fact very nearly a 0 pointer.

Too passive once again for Costa. Poor ACC really is a major disadvantage! GC 12th is about 4 places too low from what we were expecting, but we've had a good month, so can't complain too much. Costa needs to up his game a bit though. Dieteren is just hopeless!

Well Betancourt showed his face on the final stage, so rescues a half-decent GC result here on the last day after being anonymous previously. 9th is about on par in this field, but the opportunity to take 7th was lost in the last couple of kms as he was reeled back in by chase group. Boily fairly anonymous again, but picks up minor GC points for 25th. Overall, a decent ppRD given this is a relatively short stage race, so given the real no-show stage races in June, we'll take this outcome to round out a decent July showing from not too many days raced.
Up front, Lutsenko continues to justify his exhorbitant wages pretty much single-handedly keeping Team Reddit safe with what seems like top placings whenever he races (Besseges still to be completed as well looks like he could well be heading towards 1000 points for the season or very close at any rate). Expected bigger differentiation on the GC in this race from the profiles, but days 1+3 ended up in much bigger main front groups than I envisaged pre-race.
A busy August schedule is now imminent that will have a major impact on our season outcomes given how close it is likely to be in the PCT standings in and around the relegation spots come the next update!

Great to see Flugel so aggressive, riding up to 4th in GC and a surprising 2nd for the team, we really need the points.
Congrats Lutsenko/Reddit and thanks to Tamijo for the reports.

Wow, Lutsenko not only delivered, but dominated as well. I didn't expect that. Guess his wage is now justified
Merci for the reports Tamijo and thanks for all the grats.
