With the overall win I also reach 5/5 goals, as I had top 3 here, and have top 10 overall PT for the last.
That is great really, crazy enough, we are maybe also on the way to 5/5 with Metinvest, all depends on TTT later in the season. 
Big congratrs for the great stage race you had SotD, i think in the end it was a good tactic to avoid GTs with Simon, i would say both our teams benefited from this approach in 2015.
Congrats to Quickstep also, finally something great from Madrazo, it was about time! Thanks for great and fast reporting trekbmc!

Wow, almost a top 20 overall for Cattaneo. He totally hasn't been a complete waste of money for the past 3 seasons.

16th and 26th overall, 2nd and 5th in the U25 rankings - better than I expected really. Relegation now looks even more assured, but at least we might jump Meiji for bragging rights in Asia. Thanks for the reports trek! |

Great racing there, nice to see Madrazo actually doing well in a race after such a disappointing year! Taaramae confirms himself as a beast also 
Congrats SotD, also great reporting trek!

Thanks. Yeah if Spilak does well in Liechtenstein aswell I think I made the right decision. Next season I want to win the Tour de France though, so I'm putting everything in one basket, and then it doesn't matter if I finish the PT ranking in 10th or so.

Martin is truly fantastic this season! That's another somewhat sensational performance from him, climbing all the way to fifth overall and saving (at least I pretend he did) Spilak's overall win.
A pity Spilak robbed him for a stage podium, but I guess I can't complain
Hopefully all these mid-stage attacks from Galta is a sign for what's to come next season, as with 79 in mountains, the chances should be better for actually staying away.
Congratulations to SotD on a massive race, running away with lots of great stages, the overall, the points jersey and third in the KoM competition. And it's kind of nice to see Spilak do that well, after all he served us very well in our first season in the PT.
Also congratulations to Alakagom on a fine, fine stage win. Good to see Madrazo proving himself as a 85 climber.
And a big thanks to trekbmc for the reports, I've truly enjoyed them from start to finish. |

Thanks. According to my quick calculations top 3 are within 100 points atm - Very interesting... Haven't checked it through though

A little too late for Madrazo there, big congrats to SotD. Thanks for the reports as well trekbmc.
I'm tired of complaining about Nibali so I'll leave it at that.

Felt Dombrowski could've done a bit better than that, the whole team in fact, but I guess he keeps racking up points with the white jersey wins. Thanks for the reports trek

Sweet and deserved GC win by Spilak, after a dominant start to the race. Madrazo comming strong in the laiter stages and this is probably the strongest he has been in the mountains all year. Nice that he atleast got a stage for his efforts, and a solid 2nd. If the race had been 1 mt stage longer, the fight for GC would have been interesting.

Hmm... I do feel that Dekker could have taken a top-5 spot, but in the bigger picture - the PT ranking - I'm just happy that my team keeps being consistent. Hopes of survival still very much alive.
Sending Kennaugh here was obviously a complete waste of race days, though. I must have hoped that the competition would be very sucky + he'd be able to survive the mountains. I was wrong 
Congrats to SotD. Incredible race for him. |

Too little, too late, Henao. Too little, too late.
Too bad Ruijgh lost the KoM jersey. It would have been a pretty awesome result for him. At least we got the team rankings as compensation. (actually are those rankings correct? only 30h for 1t4i when the leaders had over 62h yesterday)

Argh, what happened to Suaza on the final stage? Way down on where he should ever been, and a decent GC position is thrown away.
Thanks for the reports trek.

Once again as I found in the Tour - Alarcon just lacks those secondary stats and was actually quite lucky to hold onto 4th on GC. His first mountain stage hold onto Maddy and Spilly helped him.
He can reinvent himself again luckily as he still has age on his side - Taaramae has a very bright future of course and Madrazo was possibly the best he has been all season agains small shyte race king Spilak.
It is an interesting choice and discussion point about whether a great stage racer should be able to avoid the big GT's. Pluichkins unrivalled Tour victory was a bit of a shame - then again the chances for breaks stealing stage points leads to possibly the cowards way being mroe fruitful. But I miss the big Spilak - Pluichkin clash really. But likewise I like that we get mixed stage racer field giving even crappy guys a chance to shine (well apart from Nibali he is just too crappy )
Very speedy reporting trek and enjoyed the mountain fest certainly a step forward in class for Colombia and I think a better race because of it.
Another disappointment really for RBH - Holloway dropping out on stage 3 was really annoying given there was a sprint on stage 4.

@ember: He probably did save him actually, Spilak was losing time very quickly before Martin caught him and kept the gap steady.
@alexkr: Team standings are correct except for your team's time, I got the results for that stage using an export getter because PCM crashed, this meant I didn't have the time of the first rider/team in any classification, although I had the times of all the others, so just no number existed for the team's classification and I put something there that didn't make much sense. Sorry about that.

No worries. I just wanted to make sure everything was alright with the results since I know copy pasting overall results from youth and team rankings is a bit trickier than with other classifications and sometimes errors can occur.

Fantastic stage to finish with, nice to see both Taaramae and Madrazo really give it a go against Spilak, although it was slightly annoying to lose both the stage and not take 2nd place, but I'd always have taken top 3 before the race, so Bouygues leave very happy!
Congrats to Sotd, Spilak has been excellent all season, and 5/5 goals completed is a fantastic achievement.

Not a bad stage for Garby after starting off slow, top 30 is nice to finish.
