Well, the expectations were low for this race, but we've got a nice haul of points. Stage win, leader in the GC once, KoM leader one, 2x points leader and 4th in the same standings (just 1 point shy of the win) for Robov, as well as 3rd in KoM for Ahmad Zamri. All and all, a decent race given the circumstances.
Congrats to the Binance team and to UU for the reports.

Aular doing what I wanted Oomen to do here. It's not much, but pointwise a huge difference if you count everything. Congratulations to Binance ans thankd you very much for the entertaining reports Double U!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

We chose not to show up the final two stages. Not that we would've gotten anything in terms of points but some effort might be rewarded.
Thanks for the reports UU and congrats Binance!

Just a bit of an unfortunate profile for Madrazo in the end. Which was expected from the start, so 7th is not a shock, necessarily. But still, those are not the results you pay the amount we spent on Madrazo. It's unfortunate that the breakaway was still out in front when he attacked the first time, I believe he would have had a better chance to stay away had he not run into them. But it was good to see us being active, both leading the peloton and then with Madrazo attacking. He does lack speed, so the ultimate outcome from that group and compared to the guys he was s.t. with is fair.
Congrats Binance! And thanks for the very nice reports as always, UU!

Not bad for us. I was hoping for a stage win and we came close stage 1 and 2. Top 20 in GC as well. I guess we can call this Tour a success considering the team we sent! Good job everyone!!

Weird to see Aular win such race, but happy for Binance. Interesting race, great coverage.

We did pretty well making breakaways. Couldn't ask for much more than that.

Thanks for the reports, a stage top 4 from Vingerling and and 10th in the GC from Elissonde is about as much as we could expect from this in a realistic fashion! Congrats to the winners!

Very solid result for Guldhammer in 6th given the crazy stacked field. I hoped a bit when they crested the final climb that he might have the hill/spr/acc to podium from that group, but ultimately he had lost enough energy, and there wasn't enough road off the descent, to make it happen. I'm definitely a little surprised we burnt our top climbing domestiques throughout since we weren't the favorites, but Gregaard and Eg still ended up scoring a few points. Always nice to do well in a 3 stage race, where you can get those GC points for fewer race days.
Congrats to Binance on the victory! Aular did well to overcome his hill and attack at the opportune time. Thanks for the reports Ulrich!

I didn't really expect Frankiny to defend his title but thought he'd do better than 55th GC
Still great to see Slagter get the top 10 and Hirschi taking the youth jersey as it looked like we were going to be close to a 0 pointer at one stage.

Great reports as always Ulrich, congrats Binance.
Nothing to show for it as expected for Glanbia but Mannion flew the flag today

Asked for a 4th place from Arndt and he delivered! That gave him 4th in GC (on the same time as 3 other riders) and a shared points win.
Depth scoring from Koch (17th) and Nerz (23rd) resulted in a very unusual tied first in Teams!
The great reports from UU mentioned the sterling work by future star Ethan Vernon controlling the break.
Congrats to Binance for the win.

For the first time this year, Moscon really surprised me in a positive way. The stage win obviously was a great sign of life, and finishing 12th on the GC is definitely more than I could have asked for given that he's only a 73 climber! And just to compare with last year - Quintana finished 14th, so we went 2 spots higher this year! Definitely a good race for us, although it was obviously a big gamble.
On the other hand, really disappointed by Masnada. He just did nothing, absolutely nothing. If Schmid finishes higher than him, well, he'd better stay home next time. Wasted race days, some lessons learnt for future planning.
And yeah, don't send a sprinter here next time, it just doesn't work on that stage 1.
Congrats to a rather surprising winner, well done! And thanks for the reports, Ulrich, great quality as always

Beltran disappoints again, but that's nothing new I guess 
Also it's just our luck this season that we manage to lose the team classification win on a tiebreak. What are the odds for that?! 
Thanks for the reports and congrats to Binance.

Either our fourth or fifth GC lost by under 5 seconds I believe. Plus the young riders comp by the same margin. That's this.
Great effort from Areruya, for a second I thought the attack was perfectly timed but turns out he went one moment too soon and Aular had the right timing, congrats fintas! Happy enough with 2nd really, guess I'm hoping for more than what is realistic to get us back in the promotion fight, especially with a four month break for Areruya coming up. Thanks for the excelling reporting W!
