Good stage, nice to see us on the attack. 5th is a nice result, now to see what the last stage, our last stage of the season can bring. |

Mykhaylo Kononenko is my new hero
4th in the GC is about 10 places above my genuine expectations. This result should push me towards the top 10 in the CT rankings.
Still I want to know what happened to Maksimov

It was by 1 one fuckin' place, one fuckin' place that we failed our goal.
Still, 6th is good and Silva finishing 10th is also good for points. |

And push us out
Terrible final stage, terrible race. I don't think we've scored more than 20 points here and in Faso combined, a very bad effort with 16 race days. I'm not looking forward to those final rankings
Thanks for the reports Gustavo. |

You still get rewarded very well for a one off finish, so no need to worry too much |

You still get most of the money you get for an achieved goal if you miss it by 1 place.
That was an excellent race and thanks for the reports! I always like to see Rodas riding well - a true Man Game legend right there.

Good race for us. Maybe would have liked to take the overall GC, but 2nd is certainly fine - Larsson the deserved winner.
I think that probably secures our PCT spot for next year as well
*furiously starts planning*

Nice to see us take something out of the race, Alizadeh went for the glory or bust tactic and somehow managed neither shame we couldn't take a stage win but seeing him capture the youth jersey is a good consolation, even if it will make it slightly harder to lower his wage during renewals.

Youth jerseys aren't worth a lot of points at this level so I imagine it won't affect it too much.

The final results exceed by far my wildest expectations. Galta, Reis and Cabeira in the top 15, joining the mountain classification, team standings and still 2nd and 3rd in the youth classification. This is clearly our best performance of the season, 74 points help to rise slightly in the rankings.
Thanks for the reports Gustavovskiy

The 3rd is a great position for Nieve. A pitty he was exausted after pulling of Larsson and Rohregger...
Also good race from De la Cruz (19).
Congratulations Vattenfall and many thanks for the reports Gustavovskiy

I love this guy! He's always aggressive and consistent (barring any crashes). I was thinking of letting go of him at renewals, but I think I might just keep him even though my aim was to go 100% African.
Another top 5 from Rodas which I'm happy to take. Nice to see him be aggressive even if it cost him in the last few km.
Thanks gustavovskiy for great reports! Loved them

Ptth, Rodas was really inconsistent for us a couple of years ago and I was happy to off load him. Then again at Red Bull we are happy to offload most riders after one year with us!
