Lol, what a disgraceful stage 
We did score some points though, but not enough to overtake WWE I presume.
Great job by you SN! |

Well... I'm glad that Broers won and took the lead but I'm really not happy with the way it happened. Sort of bitter-sweet.
It could have something to do with the relatively poor cobbled domestiques in the race because, without my team to contribute to any chase, there really just aren't that many riders there who can push a pace over that terrain.

Amazed by the AI here, Kip should never had been able to get any sort of result out of this stage. It actually reminds me of Loddo back in the days, where he also somehow managed to take a really good GC spot, despite the lack of well.. Cobble ability.

This probably decided my personal duel with HTC,as they were given 2nd in GC for nothing.
I think we should take this as the memorial to pcm12, you will not be missed you stupid game!

Yeah - anticlimactic stage, but it was hard to expect any different. At the Tour of Northern Europe at least we had some action - here a big steaming pile of nothing.
I suppose at least it wasn't a big sprint at the end and we had a 'Bpost' winner. Bouygues still set to do very well as a consequence of a the TTT.

Worst. Stage. Ever!
Congrats to Bpost, should've secured their lead over me, I doubt Flügel can win both Beijing and Japan

Strange stage, but decent for us with Schinker clinging onto his top 20 overall.
Still hardly going to score anything here bar something ridiculous on the final stage. I guess I can take comfort in the fact that if there was a king of the mountains competition Kangangi would have it wrapped up |

Although I criticised the team previously on their intermediate sprint tactics I'm pleasantly surprised it worked out so well! Abdallah got his top 10 overall and at least salvaged some points for us! 
Thanks SN for some great reporting

Veelers 'saved' our tour there, but we should have gained more. It's way too close now and my big chances are gone.

Learned some good lessons this race. I really hoped for some random results, and judging by our positioning in the sprints we did the best we could. It looks like the sprinting AI is really good but predictable in this db. And the cobbles... Well, the cobbles...
No more long C1 races hoping for a weak field for me!

Same here, but this was a big shot at keeping myself in the PCT. And my best one from the races I have left.

And i doubt you had better ones.
Metinvest boys all over the top 20 in the end, so we can be happy that our "strong flat team" Faso focus paid off in the end, despite that weird AI stage.
Thanks for the reports SN, they were top notch!
