Well that was something. 2nd is a solid stage result. I'm in Rwanda for the next couple weeks. Odds are the internet isn't going to be cooperative.

Thank you! I'm now in a very good mood. 
After two and half season we are one flat stage away from winning our first stage race in team history. What a perfect time for it to come in Abal last race of season, HC rated and while we are fighting for promotion.

Well Ji did okay, but we are actually doing quite well in the Team standings too, which is nice.

Points are crucial. And we had them from this race. |

In the end some good luck with the bad luck in this stage race. The good is, we'll probably accomplish our top 5 goal here in the end. The bad news is, we're most likely failing our top 5 goal in the PCT rankings with Abal winning the race, and Intxausti only coming in 5th.
I need Uran to come up big in Portugal (in b4 he loses 3 minutes on a hilly stage and only takes 30 seconds on the mountain stage) and Ulissi to consistently get good results in his remaining races. It's going to be a tight finish in the end, but if i'm honest, i think we might have lost it here.

I think we've salvaged a good amount from this race, with the stage win and a decent GC from Ndbri. I'm happy with what we've achieved going into the final stage |

Definately not the race we hoped for... Let's hope Polivoda can at least give us a podiumfinish on the final stage...

Finally Augustyn puts in a performance I've been wanting all season. It's the main reason why I've been so frustrated in his other races, because I know he's capable of consistently finishing where he did. It was also nice to see him move up a spot on the GC. I was a bit disappointed with Rangel who didn't really performed as well as I had hoped.
All in all, it was a good race and fun to follow. I just don't understand why this is the first time Augustyn (75Hill) gains time on a hilly stage on guys with a 70-72Hill.
Hopefully there aren't any crashes or punctures to upset the current standings, because it's been a good race for us and CSC. Congrats Mre on your first GC win!

Bernard wins the TT good for him, though his stock has fallen dramitically over the last couple of years.
I do think it will be close between CSC and Bacardi.
Kami has been unfortunate in the main, I guess mresuperstar will point to his teams better depth that irons out any possible bad luck.

Congrats to CSC for their first ever stage race win. Really good performance by Abal here. As we started the MG at the same time, it`s highly time, I will get my first ever stage race win as well. Probably won`t happen this season though. 
Also happy for Mobil to have another big result after Southland. Could eventually be a late jump off the relegation spots. |

Congrats to Mre for finally securing a Stage Race victory. Will be interesting to see how it affects the rankings at both ends of the table, with Mobil doing well too.
Another interesting race to follow, thanks for the reports tsmoha.

Great points haul from this. This can propel us out of second-last in the standings, and closer to the safe zone. |

Glad this race is over...
Topchanyuk 17th isn't the end of the world, but I would prefer my team just scoring points and staying far away from possible relegation.

Terrible luck for some teams today. Finally, Augustyn makes the right split. If 80% of his races this season went this well, we'd be a few places higher up in the rankings.
Congrats Mre. It's long awaited and long deserved

Finally!  Thanks everybody.
Abal finally delivered in his last race of the season. For some perspective, this team was created when I was a senior in high school, I'm now a junior in college... The long drought is over.
I'm really hoping promotion goes down to the last race of the season. Even though it would be nerve racking for me, it would be one great report to read.
