Okay, a few extra GC will not hurt. Too easy for LPH

Ok well that was way more than what I considered necessary. Great ride from Sütterlin, happy with his first win for LPH, but I guess good for Zmorka's morale to win the GC still, after also a good ride by him. Sterbini seventh is also a great result, and with our worst rider in 53rd, we can say we did amazing in our first goal race. Thank you for the reports to Imladrik and to Abhishek for posting

Daniel with a solid ride and 11th on GC is a nice little add to Walscheid's heroics. 21st not great from Affini but a few more points, and Matsuda squeaks a point for 30th and in the U25.
Congrats to Nemo, LPH pretty unbeatable today.

Got some catching-up to do after two days away...
Stage 3 was disappointing again, with Bol not too well positioned and then unable to move past Perera. Or even Bauhaus.
Stage 4 much better then, although getting beaten by Walscheid still kind of stings. But yeah, this clearly wasn't the best race for versatile sprinters, pure power was key here and Max definitely has that as well. Congrats to McCormick and Zalgiris on their stage wins, and good to see all top sprinters do well on S3.
The TT then was a walk in the park for LPH. Boy - what did they get for breakfast? I mean, a 1-2 isn't overly surprising (Sütterlin ahead of Zmorka is, though), but Sterbini in 7th as pretty much the perfect result for them. Congrats on stage, GC and teams win - none of them unexpected, of course, but they still had to deliver first!
Also "on average" really happy with my riders. Rekita with a stellar performance to take 3rd on stage 5 and GC, a huge step up compared to last year! Brunel and Bissegger taking 1-2 in U25, plus the team coming 2nd behind LPH is great to see.
Slightly disappointed though with the S5 performances, though. Bissegger was really bad, and really hasn't found a good shape yet. Brunel was slightly better, but still too far down for my liking. The positive surprise on the other hand was Marchewka, proving me right in sending 4 good TTers and not "just" 3 of them.
In the end, I was hoping to have two riders in the Top 10 and another one in the Top 15, which the team accomplished with 3rd, 10th and 13th. Plus 17th on top of that - the unexpected thing is that Bissegger was the worst of them. Maybe things will look differently in Arab Tour?
Congrats again to LPH on an awesome performance, likely yielding this year's C1 highscore? And thanks to Imladrik for writing the reports and to Abhi for posting them!

Can't help but feel ever so slightly disappointed by this result. Unfortuntately we didn't have the margins with us this time with Paillot 1 second from the podium and Gonzales Salas in 9th place 1 second away from 6th..
June has not been good to us so far, and we need to step up to keep the top 5.
Congrats to Nemo and thanks a lot for the reports!

Jungels was weak on both TT stages. 19th is a disappointing outcome for him. Ocampo did well to get us some bonus points in the GC and the U25s. Vesely did his part somewhat. Not a great race for us but some points do come in.
Congrats on the amazing result Nemo and thanks for the reports Imladrik

Big congrats Nemo, what a result for you guys! Big points 1-2-7.
Another terrible sprinting performance from us, hopefully we can find a workable solution in the offseason to make sprints not terrible.
Wolf and AP doing well enough in the TT to get us a few points here, good to see. Thank you for the reports!

Don't know why I have gone through every off-season not picking up TTers since it's so clearly for a while now the way to do it  Huge result for LPH, congrats Nemo and thanks for the ever-great reports Imladrik

Frustrated about the Hamza puncture as I've had two major punctures this season so far - although the other may have ended beneficially for me. Don't come away empty handed, but still begging for the scraps I got.
Congrats for all the winners and many thanks for the reportsAbhi!

Extremely satisfied by Belevics 6th place in GC, way better than what we dreamed of. Some valuable points going home to Norway after all.
Thank you so much Abhishkek for the quality reports! |

Arashiro carrying out the Babymetal name in the break is a delight to see, too bad it's in a race that isn't interesting to the sponsor. Thanks for the extensive reports Abhishkek!! Kudos to LPH for their dominance  |
