A real collector's item on Stage 16 with Contador winning a stage in his last ever GT. Great stuff

Amazing for Contador to win a stage! After Nibali's giro stage win it's nice that both of the champions that are retiring at the end of the year had one last great success.
Also my team being active and taking over the team's classification pleases me!
Thanks dominox! |

Not sure what the hell is wrong with Polanc, but that might be the biggest disappointment of the season  great coverage though!
Lucky you if that's the biggest disappointment of the season! After all, Majka is slightly better by AVG than Polanc and still he only finished 7th.
All three GTs were disappointing. Once more just two breakaway appearances, zero depth scoring, story of this season.
But great videos, thanks, dominox!

Nice to see Mapemba give us a highlight with a stage win at the Vuelta. I like being on the other side of the break not quite being caught on flat stages.
Thanks for the coverage Dominox and congrats to Krisa and Aru on a hard fought win.

It's kind of funny to see Godoy on the attack on flat stages, and Brus in the mountains. I'd obviously have preferred to always see the former, but I definitely can't be unhappy about our stage results. Two wins by Godoy is just amazing and unexpected, and a stage podium plus 4th by Brus is clearly more than I could expect, too.
So those two did a good job, but I still can't quite call this race a success. The reason for that is obviously Gomez, who didn't do anything useful throughout the entire three weeks (except for an 8th stage place, which in retrospect looks pretty random). Neither did he care about the GC, nor did he care about breakaways - he was just completely useless. Which is really disappointing, given that he's had some pretty great races in CT, so that's definitely a big waste of his RDs here. But well, I've learnt my lesson I guess, GTs aren't really for us yet.
Congrats to those who did well, and thanks for the great coverage to dominox!

A great ITT by Contador sees him just fall short of the win but it is enough to claim Top 5 in his final GT and that ends his career on a high. He had just one bad stage in the race which cost him a couple of positions in the end, otherwise he was very consistent. We are glad we could secure his services for this final season.
I think this is also our best ever GT performance and it took some time coming.
Congrats to krisa and thanks for the coverage dominox

What a thrilling battle between Aru and Herrada, congrats to krisa.
Thanks for the great video coverage dominox, it was fun viewing.
Nice to see Contador bow out with a win.
Nice balance between sprints and breakaways, good to see a sprinter win the points.
Viennet and Costa were active for Renault in the breaks but didn't manage to convert that into much success, great to follow on the coverage though.
Very pleased Crochet won the U25 and managed a top 10 finish. Pulido was working for Herrada so the time gap was a bit flattering.

Wow what a nailbiter. This time it wasn't enough for Herrada to still turn it around in the final TT, like he did before I believe.
Great race for Italo with Konrad in 10th GC and two more in the top 20 and the teams classification. Only the stage win is lacking. We came close in the last stage with Konrad winning the peloton sprint for some reason.
Thanks dominox for the great coverage and congrats to the winners! |

We couldn't have the impact we wanted at Cascade Clasic with Siragon. I think we're well set at (goal race) Course de la Paix though, with Mohoric and especially Vorobyev looking pretty well set for the ITT even if the individual result on the mountain stage was a little underwhelming. Leading the TC is always lovely too.

Great Britain by Wackermann, Geissler, Ventura and Albini!

Jimenez looked good in some stages in Cigar City but was ultimately disappointing to take only 22nd in the GC with Rosal doing better in 19th.
Not the most successful race for us in Britain but some decent results! Sanz taking numerous Top 10s, including a 2nd place. All of this coming to a 2nd in the Points.
Bilbao sneaking inside the GC Top 10 with his 10th place despite no significant stage results & Roux also scoring in 15th.
Otherwise, we haven't been racing too often lately. Hopefully the lads can build some momentum and start stringing together some stronger results

Thanks Shonak!
Slightly subpar result from Tao in Paix. In the WT our streak still holds, another 6 stages without a single rider in a breakaway. But at least is was broken in Britain and good old Ian Stannard won the KOM jersey, nice achievement in our home tour.

Finally a great GC result by Ollero in Cascade
No stage win, but consistently finishing in the group of favorites and picking up some bonus seconds was enough (despite another underwhelming TT, because Zappino did even worse). KoM jersey is a nice bonus, and Urizar making the Top 10 as well makes this a great team result!
