Those short shit flat stages need to be erased from the calendar completely, that AI is straight up horrible, I feel like I've already said it a fair few times.

Surprisingly good so far. Nice to take 3rd in the TTT which helped Krizek to a high GC placing. Hopefully he can hold on during the last stage.
Würtz once again in the break. Shame he couldn't compete in the sprint.

Well that was an improvement. Still a pretty poor race though.
Good reaction from Carlsberg though

Well at least bbl got something good out of this? Congrats!
So many breaks here it looks like the Vuelta, not sure how much the non GC favorites teams can be happy. One sure is though, congrats Ryan, and I suspect both jandal and Dave can be pretty satisfied too with those podiums there.

Huge and utter disapointment. Can't explain that slump in performance. Not happy with the result

Shame the move didn't work out - really thought we could do it but good aggressive riding and a great fightback from 10th on day 1 gave us our best ever GC result so far! Shame for Croatia though :/
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Thanks trekbmc and congrats ryant!
Martinez near anonymous all race long, seventh place in the GC is not what I had hoped for coming out of Southland but well, points are points.

2 guys in the break. Mandri in there for 3rd time on a mountain stage. And with Jumabekov in there aswel we surprisingly move up to 2nd in Team GC.
Krizek had a hard day but still held on to 8th which is good result for him.
Happy with the race. Scored over 10 PpRD which is more than I expected. Hopefully we can finally win something soon.
Thanks for the report!

What a ride from Hacecký!
I was worried he would blow up after working so hard but he kept on trucking to a podium spot and our first goal achieved.
Also a good ride from Ikibe to get 2nd in the young riders.
A great race for Kraftwerk.
Edit
Great to see Tvetcov finally delivering on the training ryant gave him, congratulations to the Tykes
Thanks to Trek for the great reports, really built the tension in that final climb

Nice win for Tvectov this. Bouncing back from horrible results.
Anton on the other hand, wrong day to have a -3 to -5 daily form on.

Yeah, woop woop. I thought it was gonna be one of those days where my laptop would break in two but Tvetcov timed his effort perfectly, thought Anton would have it but the late charge made is secure 1st place not bad.
God knows where my team would be without Tvetcov, as he is the one bringing home the bacon.
Congrats to Salinas (whos had another great race) and Hacecky who managed 3rd in the end!

Never mind Trek, we're cool.
Not exactly what I wanted from this race but a stage win is always nice, and Garby gets us two in the top 5 on the stage. And Garby gets a GC top 5 and the white jersey. Oste-MacDonald made his transfer from Swedbank worth it. Again, not what I wanted, but a good way to salvage what looked to be a lost race.
Garby has shown to be very inconsistent thus far and with his lack of TTing to make up for it at all it is pretty worrysome. That being said he looked to be fading and managed to creep back up today, which is a decent sign.
And objectively I have to say the reporting was very good. Hopefully this stage proved that the curse of Trek's PCM on my team has been broken.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy
