Time for Drapac to find his early race-legs. Some more points through stage-results would be needed now that we lost our decent GC-positions.

Pretty decent effort for the Cadbury boys on the hilly stage, but the Gazelle machine marches on. They seem to have that ability to be everywhere at once, they have a strong all round hill climbing squad I guess.
If Maksimov wins the next two stages would that be considered a success for Privatbank?

A stage, 3rd and 9th would be a decent result, but I'd like to see us with riders in the break and a podium to Petit to cap off a pretty good race. Great reports roturn  |

Yeah another win for Maksimov, and there was a hill in the stage. I'm impressed.

Nice.
Even without Gomenyuk 
2 more wins and the green jersey would be considered as a small succes, although I hoped Vorganov could get a top 3 GC.

Thx tastasol.
Survived stage 7; only two short stages to go for Nardin. Finishing 8th is actually a pretty good result as well. If he goes on like this he might finish high in the points ranking.

I should have threaten Maksimov's future with the team a long time ago... 
3 Wins and the Green jersey, looks like somebody finally gave the Russian Rocket some fuel.

Maksimov really crushing a pretty good CT field in these sprints. Maybe sign of things to come for the Russian dynamo?

Tbh, three 2nd places for Drapac is more than i expected, but of course it's a pity to miss out a win yet. Anyway, Drapac does well so far, Maksimov is too strong.

Great races for PrivatBank and of course Gazelle. Also great to see Maksimov actually having something of a breakthrough race.

Now we reached our personal goal before the race is actually finished, green jersey
Maksimov is strong, massive burst of speed in those final 200 meters

Seeing Maksimov here gives me confidence that Carsi may be slightly useful when maxed. Congrats to Privatbank |

Thanks! Nardin has indeed been great so far. Especially considering his 50k wage.
Still one more stage to survive. Should be ok, but you never know.

Drapac with another stage-podium, not bad. Somehow deserved runner-up in the points-classification, imo. Only one off-day in the flat stages and four podiums is good.
Too bad we could not defend our nice Top-10 after the TTT, but this was never expected when the hilltop-finishes were quite selective eventually. So not the worst C2-trip.

Guillen should be disqualified lol... Leaving his line to block Maksimov 
Oh well I got another green jersey to add to my collection.

I think Maksimov was denied a stage win there by Guillen's block.
