Given that this is a HC-race, I'm extatic about Kaczmarek's 8th place in GC so far. He will probably fall a bit on the ranking tomorrow, but there is a possibility to get more riders into top 50 and gain at least 5 points here and there hopefully.
Thanks for the entertaining reports!  |

Slightly surprised to see Errazkin losing time on that finish, but seeing some of the other riders in the second group I suspect it was just a result of unfortunate positioning.
The gaps helped Brunel and Mansouri so I can't complain too much, though it means I have to hope for a less selective final stage to keep our current GC positions. Perhaps Errazkin can get in the break having lost a little more time? |

Sucks to see Quita stuck behind the gap especially because the team will most likely grind their ass off on the last stage only for him to get a stage top 10.

Congrats Ulrich to Narvaez' second win as well as Adler for a much needed GC win!
It's been a good race for us with Küngs GC result and APP claiming stage and classification points as well, making good PpRDs again.
And finally thanks to red for the great reports!

I dont understand the AI. This seemed like a hard stage, but none of the stage favourites attacked, nor rided a hard pace.
Thanks for the reports and congrats to the winner! |

Last stage there seemed a lot less selective than anticipated, seems that the way forward in these races is to have a TTer who can do hills rather than the other way around. Not ideal for Errazkin, but at least it makes Brunel more valuable so not all bad from our perspective.
Overall a race that continues our strong March - I think we would have scored around 220 points here, with 4th, 11th, 22nd and 24th in GC being better than I could have anticipated heading into the race. Add in Peak's stage win and some extra points from GC and points placings as a result, and we can be quite happy. Think we're now over 1000 points for the season, so halfway to safety after less than 50 RDs. I won't hear discussion of promotion, it isn't happening 
Congrats to Adler and Ulrich on their victories, and to quadsas on a very impressive all round team performance! And thanks as ever to red for a great set of reports! |

Thanks red for the reports and congrats KaiserAdler with the win! 
This wasn’t the most suitable race for us, so we’ll happily take a stage win and 14th and 21st in GC

Well damn. Great team work, letting Colombini manage the break and then seizing control for Narvaez in the end. I sent Narvaez hoping he would do something but two stage wins and points were way beyond what we expected.
Our race target of Daniel wheel-sucking his way to a decent GC also worked out. He has been in the top 12 in this race every year for the last 4 years so think the profile being one for the TTers who can climb a little is consistent. Although I was expecting the last stage to be tougher.
Congrats to Adler and thanks to Red for some great reports.

Definitely a successful race, Lasinis climbs 20 places after TT and a bunch of other minor victories. No wins for Kmieliauskas yet, but we take this result

For a stage where we had nothing to lose, we made sure we lost nothing. Disappointing race.
Thanks for the reports redordead and congrats KaiserAdler!

Always a tough race to crack for us. Despite being anonmymous I feel lucky to have Uwizeiymana in the top 10.
Congrats on the win, Kaiser, and thanks for all the great reports, red!

Extremely happy by bagging almost 100 points here. Great 7th by Kaczmarek and I love that we got 3 other riders into top 50 as well, gaining some important minor points.
Congrats KaiserAdler for the win, and thank you for racing this redordead, really appreciated! |
